China has become one of the world's largest producers of motor vehicles,
according to Duan Liren, a member of the professional panel for the "through
transport scheme" launched by the Chinese ministries of Public Security and
Construction.
The country turned out 19.95 million motor vehicles last year, including 4.45
million automobiles, 13 million motorcycles and 2.5 million vehicles for
agricultural use, said Duan at the five-day second Sino-Spanish Forum for Urban
Transport that closed in Beijing on Friday.
According to Duan, China has been producing 10 million motorcycles annually
since 1997, accounting for half of the world's total production, and the
country's annual production of vehicles for agricultural use has been stabilized
around 2 million to 3 million since 1995.
