LOS ALTOS, CA – Chinese vehicle production is estimated to have risen 12.1% during 2006, according to analyst Henderson Ventures.
The research group says world unit vehicle sales rose 4.4% last year, after a 5.2% gain in 2005. Unit production of cars and light trucks is expected to be up 2.9% in 2007, in part as a result of higher-end vehicles with electronic modules.
