Chinese automakers at Detroit Auto Show

Five Chinese carmakers are on hand at the 2008 International Auto Show in Detroit:

1. Zhongxing Automobile, via their U.S. venture partner Chamco Auto. These will most likely be the first Chinese cars to enter the U.S. market.

2. Geely. No major announcements.

3. Changfeng. They’re displaying five SUV and car models at the show and plan to sell in the U.S. by 2009. Are considering a U.S. assembly plant.

4. BYD Auto Co, a spinoff of a battery maker. They’re showing their F6 Dual Model plug-in hybrid, with which they want to preempt Toyota and GM on the worldwide stage.

5. Li Shi Guang Ming Auto Design, a design house.
