In 2003, with the strong support of the State Economic and Trade Commission, Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd. and Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. set up the largest joint venture company in China's automobile industry with a registered capital of 654.38+0.67 billion yuan, with Dongfeng and Nissan each holding 50% shares, of which Nissan contributed in cash, and Dongfeng took commercial vehicle business-related assets and original Fengshen automobile assets as shares, so Yulong was forced to withdraw. After the establishment of the new joint venture company, the passenger car business will be undertaken by the specially established Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd. Passenger Car Company (also known as Dongfeng Nissan Passenger Car Company). Therefore, Dongfeng Nissan, which we often see and hear now, is a secondary company under Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd., and it is a direct cooperation between Dongfeng and Nissan. Both parties hold 50% of the shares. No shares in Taiwan Province Yulong or other companies.
After the establishment of Dongfeng Nissan Passenger Car, two company names prefixed with "Fengshen Automobile" were retained, but their meanings were quite different from the original ones. Guangzhou Fengshen Automobile Co., Ltd. refers to Huadu Factory of Dongfeng Nissan Passenger Car Company, and Fengshen Xiangfan Automobile Co., Ltd. refers to Xiangfan Factory of Dongfeng Nissan Passenger Car Company.
Yulong Nissan Automobile Co., Ltd. was established in 2003, separating the original R&D and sales-related business of Yulong Automobile Manufacturing Co., Ltd., with a capital of NT$ 3 billion. Yulong automobile manufacturing co., ltd originally held 100% of the shares, and later Yulong transferred 40% of the shares of the company to Nissan.
The latest origin of Dongfeng and Yulong is to come together again on the Nazhijie project in Hangzhou. Just earlier this month, Dongfeng acquired a 20% stake in Hangzhou Nazhijie Company through Dongfeng Hangzhou Automobile Co., Ltd., and Yulong held a 50% stake in Hangzhou Nazhijie Company. Yulong hopes to realize the re-layout in the mainland with the help of Hangzhou Nazhijie. This project has been strongly supported by the Hangzhou municipal government, and the final success or failure remains to be seen.
After reading the above, you should have a clear understanding of the historical origins and current cooperative relations of Dongfeng, Yulong, Nissan and Dongfeng Nissan.
