SAIC Motor's parts arm and China's largest auto-parts group, making components across interiors, chassis and electronics via joint ventures.
Supplies parts mostly to its parent SAIC Motor and to the SAIC-Volkswagen and SAIC-GM joint ventures, so volumes follow how well SAIC group cars sell. SAIC is also its controlling shareholder.
