Currently, the Chinese market is world's leading market for electric mobility, which bought roughly 700,000 electrified cars in 2017. Further, by 2020, the amount of all-electric cars on the roads of China is anticipated to reach roughly five million, supported by quotas and subsidies offered by the government.

 

Per management, this collaboration is a step toward Magna's effort of vehicle electrification for China.

This is not the first collaboration that Magna undertook to expand its electrified powertrain offerings and strengthen its local footprint in China. Earlier in October 2017, Magna entered into a joint-venture with China's Huayu Automotive Systems Co., Ltd. to manufacture electric-drive powertrain system.
