Changan Automobile plans to build a new R&D base in the UK

According to news from the British Coventry Telegraph, China Changan Automobile considers establishing a research and development base in the United Kingdom to create more than 100 jobs for the local people.

Changan Automobile announced that it is looking for a suitable location in the middle of England and the UK to build a new research and development center with the aim of bringing closer distances with local car companies. Chang’an is currently looking at various locations, including Coventry, Birmingham, and Solihull, as well as advanced manufacturing hubs in Aston.

British media said that before the second half of this year, Changan Automobile may not finalize the address of the new R&D center.
