Under pressure from Beijing General Motors has agreed to allow electrical technology its main partner of China - the state of the Shanghai automotive industrial Corporation (SAIC). This step has already generated great concern in the industry related to the fact that China in the mercenary purposes is forcing automakers to share technology, which would be massively replicated on their domestic market and used against foreign producers. But the American giant believes that this way will be able to maintain its leadership in the fast growing market of electric vehicles in China. Especially when the country has made significant progress in the development of electric power industry, in particular, drives, and batteries, in order to reduce dependence on imported oil and reduce harmful emissions. Guide GM expects that such technological openness will help to increase sales of the group in the Chinese market, which is planned to double to five million vehicles by 2015. To do this, GM will invest seven billion, five of which will be spent on construction of the new plant. By the end of the year, the American manufacturer is going to launch in China, the Chevrolet Volt electric car, and will eventually offer at the local market of the European hybrid Opel competition. Such transactions General Motors with the Chinese government, largely provided over the past year 30% sales growth and involved a group of a dozen joint American-Chinese projects, be criticized by experts. They predict the risk for the producer, who may lose control of their intellectual property. In addition to GM-largest trade partner SAIC is also another powerful player in the Chinese market - Volkswagen. Given the support for these automakers, analysts predict that Chinese state-owned company has a great future among the world's automakers.
