Automotive industry sensitivity, productive capacities, competitiveness, internationalization, electric vehiclesAbstract
The paper analyzes the emergence of China as the main producer of motor vehicles and its consolidation as the second largest exporter of automotive goods. To this end, we highlight China's specialization in the production of vehicles for the private transport of people, as the main advantage to displace its main competitors in international markets. In addition, we insist that Chinese automobile construction companies are avatars of the State and that their competitiveness is based both on state financial support and on a strategy of localization in the Chinese mainland. These factors, taken together, explain the ability of some Chinese companies to produce and export electric vehicles.
