economist.com, Nov 13th 2008 Following this, FAW's Audi products are the traditionally favoured choice for ranking
Chinese state officials.
In 1992, the name First Automobile Works was changed to FAW Group Corporation.
Though FAW was the fourth Chinese automaker to take on Western partners, its early joint venture with
Volkswagen in 1990 saw it become the second Chinese auto company to develop a strong cooperative relationship with a foreign counterpart.
SAIC was the first, in 1984 and also with
VW.
Volkswagen was the first foreign partner for FAW, but others soon followed. The company acquired 50% ownership of Tianjin Automotive Xiali in September, 2002, and renamed the brand
FAW Tianjin.
As a result, FAW ended up with
Toyota as a foreign joint venture partner. FAW established a joint venture with

in 2009 and has joint ventures with a handful of other foreign companies as well.
The company produced more than 1.5 million vehicles in 2008, and in 2009 it was the largest machinery corporation and the second largest auto manufacturer in China. In 2010, the 2.56 million units sold made it the third most-productive vehicle maker in China that year, and one of its offerings, the FAW Xiali, was the 7th most-purchased car in China in 2010. It produced 2.6 million vehicles in 2011, the third-largest output of any China-based company. While it retained its third place rank, the number of whole vehicles produced in 2012 slowed to 2.3 million.
Passenger cars made up a relatively scant 64% of total production that year.
