Haima Automobile (officially FAW Haima Automobile Co., Ltd.) is an automotive manufacturing company based in Hainan, China and a subsidiary of FAW Group. Its models, which sell under an eponymous brand name, incorporate Mazda technology, and the company once was a joint venture between this Japanese automaker and the local government of Hainan.

As of 2012 Haima has a production capacity of approximately 400,000 vehicles per year.

History[]

The company started as a joint venture[3] between the Hainan provicial government and Mazda to produce Mazda models for sale in China. Initiated in 1992, this agreement lasted near 14 years and ended in 2006.[4] In 2006[citation needed] Mazda's share of the venture was acquired by FAW Group,[5] and the company is a subsidiary of FAW.[6] While Haima has retained the right to make and sell older Mazda models as well as use Mazda technology to underpin self-designed products, it may be prohibited from using the Mazda marque. This doesn't necessarily mean Haima has completely severed ties to its erstwhile partner, as technology transfers may continue.[5]

In August 2008 Haima began construction of a third assembly plant, in Hainan, with a capacity to build of 100,000 units per year.[7] Its other two plants are likely located in Haikou, Hainan, and the city of Zhengzhou; both have production capacities of 150,000 whole vehicles per year.[8]

In April 2009 Reuters reported that the company's partnership with Mazda, by then ended, had been established "to receive technological help" and that Haima was selling a car that seemed similar one of Mazda's offerings without consent.[9]

In November 2010 a plant for the assembly of knock-down kits of the Haima 3 was opened in Cherkessk, Russia by Derways Automobile Company.[6]
