Història
1980s
Audi AG began a contract on August 13, 1988 with First Automobile Works to produce the Audi 100 for the Chinese market. The 100 was assembled with imported parts from Germany.
1990s
On November 20, 1990, the official contract of an annual capacity of 150,000 cars for the joint venture between FAW Group (First Automotive Works Group) and Volkswagen AG was signed by Geng Zhaojie (耿昭杰), President of FAW and Dr. Carl Hahn, CEO of Volkswagen AG in the Great Hall of the People, Beijing.[3] All of the facilities in the first car plant, including the body shop, paint shop and assembly shop came together from the abandoned factory of VW's in Westmoreland, USA. The company started its business officially on September 1, 1992.[3]
On December 5, 1991, the first Volkswagen Jetta Mk2 rolled off the line. Two years later, on February 7, 1993, the 10,000th car rolled off the line.[3]
In 1995 FAW Group, Volkswagen AG and Audi AG decided to integrate Audi to the product line of the joint ventures, the equity holdings were also changed with 60% for FAW, 30% for VW and 10% Audi.[3]
On May 20, 1996, the first Audi 200 rolled off the line.[3]
On July 10, 1996, the engine shop started running [3] as well as full scale production.[4]
By July 1996, the company was capable of producing 150,000 cars, 270,000 engines and 180,000 gearboxes in one year.[3]
In 1997 FAW-Volkswagen Sales Company Ltd. was established as a joint venture between FAW-VW and FAW Group with the equity holdings of 50% for each, it was a smart idea of avoiding the Germans to take control of the sales department under the policy of the governing body then. By 2002 FAW-VW took the majority of the equities back from FAW Group.
In 1998 the Jetta King became the first car ever equipped with ABS system in the Chinese A-class market.[3]
In 1999 the Jetta was registered in FIA Group N category, it entered a lot of Rally events in China with FRD Sport and Qingyang Racing from the late 1990s to early 2000s.
2000s
In 2002 the Jetta became the first mass production passenger car in China to be available with a diesel engine.
On January 7, 2004, the 1,000,000 car (a Bora A4) rolled off the line.[3]
On December 7, 2004, FAW-VW's second car plant began operating.[3]
On August 4, 2009, the 3,000,000th car (a Golf A6) rolled off the line in car plant #2.[3]
2010s
By 2010 FAW-VW had sold over 1,000,000 Audis (including imported cars) in China. With the celebration, a sculpture named 'Ode to Audi' from Gerry Judah was set at the entrance of the company.[3][5]
According to Chinese government policy, foreign auto manufactures should develop domestic brands with their local partners. Thus FAW-VW revealed its own brand 'Kaili (开利)' in May 2011.[6]
On August 15, 2011, FAW-VW celebrated its twentieth anniversary with its one millionth car in 2011 (a Magotan B7L).[7]
On March 26, 2019, FAW-VW launched new Jetta sub-brand, with three new vehicles: Jetta VA3, VS5 and VS7. While VA3 is a rebadge of VW Jetta in China, both SUV models, VS5 and VS7, are rebadges of SEAT models. The sales is scheduled to start in the third quarter of this year.[8][9][10] All Jetta models are assembled at the Chengdu plant.
