Changan Suzuki (officially Changan Suzuki Automobile Co., Ltd.) was an automobile manufacturing company headquartered in Chongqing, China and a joint-venture between Chang'an Automobile Group and Suzuki. Chang'an began assembling subcompact commercial Carry ST90 trucks and microbuses under license from Suzuki in early 1980s,[2] and in 1993 the two companies formed Chang'an Suzuki to build licensed versions of the Suzuki Alto and Suzuki Cultus. Changan Suzuki became defunct in 2018.
History
Changan Suzuki was formed in June 1993 with a registered capital of US$190 million.[3] It was the first automobile manufacturing joint venture to be established by a Japanese company in China (although Isuzu, Mazda and Nissan had already established joint-ventures for truck assembly).[4]
