[edit] History
Hafei was formerly owned by Aviation Industry Corporation of China,[5] but prompted by Chinese State policy aimed at consolidating the domestic automobile manufacturing industry,[4] in 2009 Chang'an Automobile Group purchased most Hafei-related assets.[5]
As of 2009 the company has exported products to a total of 40 nations[1] including Russia.[6] These exports may be in the form of knock-down kits.
[edit] Production bases
Hafei has production facilities in Northern China.[7]
