GERMANY'S auto transport giant BLG Logistics plans to cooperate with Chinese car maker Geely to set up a logistics hub in Ningbo in Zhejiang Province as it seeks to further tap the huge potential in the Chinese vehicle market.
Geely's auto parts suppliers can send their products to the logistics hub and BLG will transport these parts to Europe after they are completely knocked down. BLG's clients also include Mercedes Benz, BMW and Porsche.
"We are still talking with Geely about the cooperation mode, and we are willing to invest in the logistics hub," said Detthold Aden, chairman of BLG.
Of the 3 million autos delivered by the German firm last year worldwide, only 8,000 units were from China.
"It's a small percent, but it indicates that great potential exists in the Chinese market and so we are holding talks with Chinese auto makers to strengthen our cooperation," said Aden.
Chinese car makers exported 47,100 vehicles last month, an annual rise of 18.45 percent and a surge of 95.99 percent from a year earlier, according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers.
Aden said the Eastern European auto market will surge 170 percent and has advised Chinese car makers to develop the market there.
