Chinese carmakers to tap Bolivia market further

Shanghai, September 9 (Gasgoo.com) A new store of Bolivia China Motors Import-Export Company was inaugurated in Bolivian capital La Paz on September 5. Officials from the Chinese embassy in La Paz attended the ceremony and visited the company, said xinhuanet.com today.

In recent years, the Bolivian company has successfully introduced China's own-brand vehicles into Bolivia's auto market. This new dealership of imported Chinese vehicles will help China's carmaker tap further into the Bolivian market.

The vehicles of Great Wall Motor, Jinbei, Dongfeng and Lifan have gained growing market shares in Bolivia and have won the excellent "Made in China" reputation. The Great Wall cars, based on the global publicity of the historic Chinese monument Great Wall, are particularly well received by Bolivian customers.

At the ceremony, Zhao Wuyi, Chinese ambassador to Bolivia, recalled that he enviously saw cars made in Europe, Japan and the U.S. running on the Bolivian streets when he came to work in Bolivia more the ten years ago. And now the ambassador feels proud of the China-made cars everywhere in the Bolivian cities and countryside.
