Jiangnan Automobile
Hunan Jiangnan Automobile Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (), commonly known as Jiangnan Automobile () is a Chinese automobile manufacturing company established in 2001 and majority owned by Zotye from 2007 onwards, headquartered in Xiangtan. It went bankrupt, entered reorganisation in 2021 and was relaunched in 2022. History The company was officially established in 2001 by the Jiangnan Machinery Group, a subsidiary of the state-owned enterprise Norinco. Zotye acquired a stake in Jiangnan Automobile between 2006 and 2007, reorganising it in March 2007. Zotye took a 70% controlling stake while the Jiangnan Machinery Group kept a minority 30%. The aim of the Zotye acquisition was to get various production permits from the government. The company's production, initially focused on assembling Suzuki Alto-based vehicles, was relaunched in April 2007, later also adding Fiat-based models. Jiangnan Automobile assembled mostly Zotye-badged cars such as the Jiangnan TT, the Zotye Z100, the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Motor Vehicle Manufacturers Of China
An engine or motor is a machine designed to convert one or more forms of energy into mechanical energy. Available energy sources include potential energy (e.g. energy of the Earth's gravitational field as exploited in hydroelectric power generation), heat energy (e.g. geothermal), chemical energy, electric potential and nuclear energy (from nuclear fission or nuclear fusion). Many of these processes generate heat as an intermediate energy form, so heat engines have special importance. Some natural processes, such as atmospheric convection cells convert environmental heat into motion (e.g. in the form of rising air currents). Mechanical energy is of particular importance in transportation, but also plays a role in many industrial processes such as cutting, grinding, crushing, and mixing. Mechanical heat engines convert heat into work via various thermodynamic processes. The internal combustion engine is perhaps the most common example of a mechanical heat engine, in which he ...

Jiangnan Alto
The is a kei car produced by Suzuki since 1979. The model, currently in its ninth generation, was first introduced in 1979 and has been built in many countries worldwide. The Alto originated as a commercial vehicle derivative of the Fronte, but over time the Alto nameplate gained in popularity and by 1988 it replaced the Fronte name completely. The Alto badge has often been used on different cars in Japan and in export markets, where it is considered a city car. Nameplate history In Japan, the Alto badge was originally meant to be for the commercial use version of the Fronte passenger car. The word "alto" is a musical term. When introduced, the Alto was only available as a three-door "light van" and with bare-bones equipment. However, Suzuki generally did not use the "Fronte" badge in export, usually calling all versions "Alto" abroad. Most early export Altos were thus technically speaking rebadged Suzuki Frontes. These were exported with changes such as enlarged engines, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
