Thus far, 333 enterprises have set up at Shanghai International Automobile City Auto Parts Industrial Zone, which is eight square kilometers. The total investment exceeds 32 billion yuan (US$4.7 billion).

Among them, 282 enterprises have started operation, of which 70 percent are auto parts companies.

Fourteen of the 282 enterprises are among the world's top 500 companies.

The zone has become a major domestic auto parts base featuring an industry chain of doors, auto chassis systems, electrical systems, security systems and interior decoration systems.

To connect products to the market, an auto parts trade center has been proposed.

According to the plan, a transnational auto parts purchasing center, trade center and pricing center will be built.

By 2012, its trade volume is estimated to reach 20 billion yuan each year.
