During the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period, Shenyang City determined the automotive industry as one of the eight pillar industries. The two major domestic brands, Jinbei and Zhonghua, with Brilliance Automotive as the main body, and the two joint venture brands represented by BMW and GM, formed the backbone system of Shenyang's automobile manufacturing. In recent years, the pace of introducing and launching new models in the fields of high-end sedans, compact cars, economy cars, and high-end business vehicles has continued to accelerate. The automobile product structure has been effectively adjusted, and the proportion of passenger car production to total automobile production has increased significantly, reaching more than 70%.
It is understood that Jinbei Haishi has ranked first in the national market share of light buses for 14 consecutive years. After becoming the first Chinese company to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange in the United States, Brilliance Automotive has become a representative of the development of China's self-own brand automobiles at a high starting point. SAIC-GM Beisheng Automobile launched the popular business vehicle GL8 and mid-range sedan Chevrolet Cruze in the domestic high-end market. Brilliance BMW produced world-class brand BMW 3 Series and 5 Series cars.
In terms of supporting system construction, Shenyang has initially formed a supporting structure centered around Aerospace Mitsubishi Engine, Brilliance system, BMW supporting system, and Beisheng supporting system, focusing on engines, chassis components, automobile interior and exterior decorations, and automobile control components. In 2010, the total industrial output value of Shenyang's automobile parts enterprises exceeded 10 billion yuan for the first time. World-renowned parts companies such as ZF Lenksford, Lear, Johnson Controls, Bosch, and Delphi have successively settled in Shenyang. Currently, there are more than 30 automobile配套enterprises with an annual output value exceeding 1 billion yuan, seven of which exceed 1 billion yuan. Now, Shenyang has 8 whole vehicle manufacturing enterprises, 17 special vehicle manufacturing enterprises, and more than 170 parts and related supporting enterprises, forming a complete industrial chain. Statistical data from 2010 shows that Shenyang has entered the top ten domestic key automobile production cities, ranking ninth in production volume and eighth in output value.
Currently, the large-scale development pattern of Shenyang's automobile industry in the east and west has been determined. The third phase project of SAIC-GM Beisheng Automobile under construction in the east, with a total investment of 7 billion yuan, is expected to reach a production capacity of 300,000 vehicles and tens of thousands of engines after completion in 2014. The second factory of BMW under construction in the west will form a production capacity of 300,000 vehicles and tens of thousands of engines in the future. Shenyang will become an important city affecting China's automobile industry.
