Alfa Romeo To Be Built In China

FIAT who owns the Alfa Romeo brand is planning to build Alfa Romeo vehicles in China in a joint venture with Guangzhou Automobile Group Co Ltd. This would probably have China made Alfa’s coming into Malaysia at more competitive prices. Chrysler Group, which is managed by Fiat, said earlier this year that it was “aggressively” exploring the possibility of building more vehicles in China and could build cars and trucks there through the Guangzhou Auto and Fiat joint venture. Despite slowing growth, Alfa Romeo is seen to be the latest high-end automobile brand from Italy braving the already crowded luxury auto segment in the world’s largest auto market in China.
