  • Internationalization and Distribution Strategies of the Chinese Automotive Sector: the Case of Colombia and Peru
    Internationalization and distribution strategies of the Chinese automotive sector: The case of Colombia and Peru ABSTRACT When the Chinese auto industry decided to stop supplying the local market and expand to the western market, it had to evaluate the best alternative to market its brands. This article develops, on the one hand, from a conceptual approach, the modes of entry and the forms of distribution follow the automotive brands; and on the other hand, from an applied approach, the internationalization and distribution strategies of the Chinese brands (Changan, Great Wall, Haval, JAC and BAIC) of light vehicles present in Colombia and Peru. In this second part you can know the history of each of these brands since they arrived in each of the countries chosen as a case study, its evolution and its current behavior. KEYWORDS Internationalization - Distribution - Automotive industry - Chinese brands - Colombia - Peru 1. INTRODUCTION The automotive sector, in the countries where it is a big business, is one aspect of development for the benefits that it represents for its economy, among them, consumption, employment generation and foreign exchange income, but also in improving the quality of transport of its inhabitants. Although the industry is well developed in the United States, Europe and the Asian continent, it is expected that it will also develop in Latin America, a region that already represents the fourth largest market in the world. Speaking of Latin America, it shows that in this region three groups of countries are distinguished. The first one, consisting only of Brazil, which, due to the size of its population, consumes almost all of the vehicles it assembles.

It will be a challenge for foreign automakers to venture into China directly. 3 Introduction On 13 June 2017, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (“MIIT”) and the Standardisation Administration of China (“SAC”) jointly published draft guidelines setting out the various automation levels of self-driving cars and the accompanying standards. The draft guidelines signalled the Chinese government’s ambitions to boost the development of self-driving cars in China.
