Jiangling Motors Corporation Group Co., Ltd. (JMCG) is a Chinese state-owned holding mostly operating in the automotive industry. It was established in 1947 and is headquartered in Nanchang, Jiangxi.
JMCG has various production facilities and, through shareholdings, maintains partnerships with other automotive manufacturers including Ford, Isuzu and Changan.
History
On 8 April 1947, JMCG was established as Nanchang Automotive Maintenance Plant. In April 1949, Nanchang Automotive Maintenance Plant was renamed as Nanchang Automotive Repairing Plant. In May 1958, it produced Yingxiong-bagded ({{zh|s=英雄|p=Yīngxióng|l=Hero}}) three-wheeled vehicles. In the same year, it produced a 2.5-tonne Yingxiong truck.{{cite web|title=在深层次合作中起步 江西五十铃发展史 |url=https://m.autohome.com.cn/culture/201412/857339-2.html?from=pc |trans-title=Starting of a deep cooperation, the development history of Jiangxi Isuzu |last=Wang |first=Liang |language=zh |website=autohome.com |date=29 December 2014 |access-date=3 February 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190423201443/https://m.autohome.com.cn/culture/201412/857339-2.html?from=pc |archive-date=23 April 2019 |url-status=live}} In 1968, it was renamed Jiangxi Automotive Manufacturing Plant{{cite web|title=江铃人事地震引发合资变局 福特已萌生退意? |url=http://finance.sina.com.cn/b/20040301/0844651645.shtml?from=wap |trans-title=The Jiangling personnel earthquake triggered a joint venture change.

|access-date=10 July 2019}} In 1969, it also produced a small number of cars. The company focused production on commercial vehicles, although it had a net financial loss until the 1980s.
As the Chinese economy opened up, Jiangxi Automotive Manufacturing Plant found increasingly difficult to compete with more modern, better-quality foreign products. The manufacturing plant had to cut its prices to keep on selling, worsening its financial situation. By 1983, the company had an accumulated loss of {{yuan|56 million}} while the total value of its assets was less than {{yuan|10 million}}.{{cite journal |trans-title=New prospects on Chinese companies |journal=Reform Monthly |title=中国企业的新前景 |language=zh |location=Hangzhou |publisher=Economic System Reform Office of Zhejiang Provincial People's Government |page=18 |issue=7 |date=1997 |issn=1007-6409}} That year, Sun Min became the company chief and started a turnaround plan focused on increasing efficiency and streamlining operations. In 1984, after improving the Jinggangshan trucks and increasing sales volume, the company posted its first profit in sixteen years. During the 1980s the company also began a partnership with Isuzu of Japan to produce light and medium trucks. From 1989 to 1992, Jiangxi Automotive Manufacturing Plant merged and reorganised Jiangxi Trailer Plant, Nanchang Sewing Machine Plant, Jiangxi Washing Machine Plant, Jiangxi Steel Window Plant, Fuzhou Chassis Plant and Zhangzhou Gearbox Plant and other companies. Jiangling Motors Corporation Group was formally established in 1991.{{cite book |trans-title=1994 Almanac of China's Economy |title=1994 中国经济年鉴 |language=zh |location=Beijing |publisher=Economic Management Publishing House |page=692 |date=1994}} In 1993, the company structure was reorganised and simplified and its truck business was spun off and listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange as Jiangling Motors Corporation (JMC). Ford Motor Company became a partner of JMCG by acquiring a significant stake in JMC.{{cite web|title=1947-2017 带你领略江铃集团70年征程料 |url=https://3g.163.com/dy/article/D1OU882T9001882U.html |trans-title=1947-2017, taking you to enjoy the 70-year journey of Jiangling Group |language=zh |website=163.com.com |date=26 October 2017 |access-date=1 February 2019}}
Failed Algerian project
By 2007, JMCG had a strong presence in the Algerian market through JMC products, with a third of the automotive sales in the country. JMCG partnered with Zhongding (Pingxiang Coal Group), another Nanchang company, and bidded for an Algerian special economic zone. The zone was approved and received the name {{em|Algeria-China Jiangling Free Trade Zone}}. The aim of the zone was to attract Jiangxi companies centred on the automotive and construction materials industries.{{cite book |last1=Brautigam |first1=Deborah |last2=Tang |first2=Xiaoyang |chapter=China's Investment in Special Economic Zones in Africa |editor1-last=Farole |editor1-first=Thomas |editor2-last=Akinci |editor2-first=Gokhan |title=Special Economic Zones: Progress, Emerging Challenges, and Future Directions |location=Washington DC |publisher=World Bank |pages=79–80 |date=2011 |isbn=9780821387634 |chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=RTsJkoPMueAC&q=Jiangling+group+Algeria&pg=PA79}} The zone was never completed as the Algerian government enacted laws forcing majority stakes for the local companies participating in special economic zones{{cite web|title=Sino-Algerian Relations: On a Path to Realizing Their Full Potential? |url=https://www.mei.edu/publications/sino-algerian-relations-path-realizing-their-full-potential |last=Calabrese |first=John |website=Middle East Institute |date=31 October 2017 |access-date=5 November 2019}} and incentivating full vehicle manufacturing instead of only final assembly as intended by the Chinese.{{cite book |last1=Jonker |first1=Kobus |last2=Robinson |first2=Bryan |chapter=A Skilled and Educated Workforce for Africa |title=China's Impact on the African Renaissance: The Baobab Grows |publisher=Springer |page=149 |date=2018 |isbn=9789811301797 |chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9wtjDwAAQBAJ&q=Jiangling+Algeria&pg=PA149}} The Algerian government also wanted Algerian subcontractors on the project, while the Chinese companies preferred Chinese ones.{{cite journal |last=Pairault |first=Thierry |date=2019 |title=China in Africa: Phoenix nests versus Special Economic Zones |url=https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-01968812 |journal=CCJ Occasional Papers |issue=7 |id=hal-01968812}}
Company ownership and structure
From its establishment onwards, JMCG has been a wholly state-owned enterprise (SOE) controlled by Nanchang's municipal planning.{{cite book |last=Toshio |first=Tajima |chapter=Formation of Chinese-type Industrial Organization and Its Changes in the Process of Transition: A Case Study of Light-duty Truck Industry |editor-last=Jiang |editor-first=Xiaojuan |editor-link=Jiang Xiaojuan |title=China's industries in transition: organizational change, efficiency gains and growth dynamics |location=Huntington, New York |publisher=Nova Science Publishers |pages=93–94 |date=2001 |isbn=1-560-72906-6}} Until 1993, JMCG's assets were owned directly by the state. That year, it was incorporated as a limited company, although still state-owned. In September 2019, Jiangxi's State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Committee announced it had included JMCG in a list of SOEs incorporating investors from the private sector by 2021, as part of mixed economy reforms.{{cite web|title=江西百户国企混改攻坚行动入围企业名单出炉 |url=http://jx.people.com.cn/n2/2019/0929/c190260-33401873.html |trans-title=Jiangxi released the names of the 100 SOEs shortlisted for mixed ownership reforms |language=zh |website=jx.people.com.cn |last1=Qiu |first1=Ye |last2=Shuai |first2=Yun|date=29 September 2019 |access-date=2 October 2019}}
