Bosch China president Wu Yongqiao said domestic passenger car demand was under
pressure in Jan–Jul while exports rose 73% YoY. He expects two Chinese
automakers to each export over 2 mln vehicles this year and forecasts total
Chinese OEM exports could exceed 10 mln units. Wu warned foreign governments may
increasingly require Chinese firms to localize production overseas and projected
Chinese-brand overseas local manufacturing could surpass 20 mln vehicles. Bosch
is deepening integration with leading domestic automakers to help them meet
stricter regulations and scale for global markets.
