The vehicles have been exported to 12 countries and regions, mainly the countries along the "Belt and Road", which has strongly promoted the inventory clearance and overstock reduction for the sales of finished automobiles as well as the development of new energy automobile industry. Also, by promoting the coordinated development in the industrial chains of automobile finance, insurance, logistics and big data, etc., Changchun has accelerated the integration of the city's automobile industry into the domestic and international "dual circulations" development pattern.
