As China becomes the world’s second-largest economy, Chinese brands have had the opportunity to increase their international influence. At the same time, in the face of increasingly fierce international competition, China is also urgently calling for a group of big brands that can represent China’s strength in the global market and realize “Chinese brands shared by the world". The SCO Qingdao Summit, which is committed to strengthening international dialogue and cooperation and promoting good neighborliness, is the opportunity and bridge for Chinese brands to go to the world. On the morning of May 18, SAIC MAXUS-SCO Qingdao Summit officially designated car delivery ceremony was held in Qingdao. SAIC MAXUS will serve as the official designated vehicle for the 2018 SCO Qingdao Summit to serve dignitaries and guests from around the world.

To regard quality as the life of an enterprise, to keep awe of quality, and to let the “quality first” “craftsman spirit” go deep into every production link are the secrets of SAIC MAXUS to build the quality of state guests.
