On November 17th, BAIC International announced in Johannesburg, South Africa, that the new model B30 has officially rolled off the production line and been launched at BAIC South Africa Plant through the CKD (Completely Knocked Down) method. A relevant person in charge of BAIC stated that South Africa is a core market for the enterprise's internationalization strategy. This local production is a key implementation of the "deeply cultivating the local market and serving the local market" strategy. In the future, it will continue to expand production scale, taking South Africa as the center to radiate the entire African region and realize comprehensive upgrades in products, brands and services.

In recent years, China-South Africa automotive industry cooperation has continued to deepen, becoming a new growth point in bilateral economic and trade cooperation. In addition to BAIC, many Chinese automakers such as Chery, Great Wall Motors and BYD have increased their investment in South Africa and the African market. Through local production, they have reduced logistics costs, adapted to regional needs, and at the same time driven the development of local manufacturing industry and employment growth. With the gradual release of demand in the African automotive market, Chinese automakers are constantly increasing their market share and brand influence in Africa through the model of technology output + local production.
