The factory will double the company's annual production capacity of 150,000 cars, said Jing Zhu, chairman of the board of Haima Investment Group Shareholding Co.

It is estimated the fixed asset investment for the new factory alone will top 1.5 billion yuan (about $214 million), but the factory can lead to formation of an automotive industry chain featuring the creation of 30 billion yuan in industrial output value and three billion yuan in pre-tax profits, plus 5,000new jobs, according to Jing. "This new factory will specialize in making A-class sedans," said Jing.

It now mainly produces passenger vehicles of medium grade.
