China Automotive Review (CAR), is a monthly, four-color tabloid magazine published by China Business Update (CBU) distributed worldwide. CAR provides news, views and reviews on the Chinese motor vehicle industry.

China is now an inseparable part of the global automobile market. In just 23 years, annual output of car production grew from only 5,000 units in 1985 to nearly 5 million in 2008.

Over the past 14 years since 1994, CBU has had the privilege of covering, first-hand, the exciting expansion of the world’s largest emerging auto market. Automobile sales increased sharply to 8.8 million in 2007. And the number did not include the country’s farm truck sector, which had an additional 2.1 million in annual sales. There is little doubt that in 10 years, China stands to become the world’s No. 1 automaker.

With the launch of CAR, CBU/CAR editorial staffs in the U.S. and China are looking forward to a new opportunity in utilizing a mass printed medium to report on the emerging China market. In addition to covering OEMs and suppliers, the editorial focus of CAR includes: OEM and Supplier News, Special Report, Laws & Regulations, Commentary, CEO Corner, Interview, Dealer, Heavy-Duty, Statistics, Stock Watch, Aftermarket, Farm Vehicle, Motorcycle, Regional & International, Who’s Who, Upcoming Events, Classifi ed ads, and more.

We will make sure that similar to CBU-Auto, our 14-year-old weekly newsletter, the monthly CAR will also become “the only reliable source on China’s automobile market,” quoting one of our readers, “that tells the wheels behind the wheels.”

After two sample issues in 2005 and regular publication since January 2006, CAR has been well received from thousands of readers at home and abroad. As one of our readers commented, “CAR is on the right track to becoming a well-recognized
information source for the Chinese auto industry.”

We look forward to your support, either as subscribers or advertisers, in making CAR a premium and leading industry publication. It will be our mission to bring your products and services to your customers in China and throughout the world.

Hop in the CAR and drive to your success!
