  • In 1986, the SsangYong Business Group in South Korea took over Dong-A Motor and renamed it SsangYong Motor Company.

    In 2009, after recording a loss of $75.92 million, SsangYong Motor was put into bankruptcy protection.

    In April 2010, the company released a statement soliciting interest of local/foreign companies in acquiring SsangYong Motor.

    In August 2010, Mahindra & Mahindra was chosen as the preferred bidder.

  • Things turned worse for SsangYong Motor Co, which was already struggling to break even since 2009.

    The Mahindra & Mahindra-owned South Korean company reported a sales revenue of Rs.13,417 crore in nine months as of 30 September 2015, marginally down from 2014's Rs.13,865 crore.

    However, despite its modest revenue, net losses rose from Rs.189 crore in 2014 to Rs.450 crore in 2015.

    SsangYong sold 144,764 vehicles in 2015, up by 2.6% from 2014.

    Reasons for M&M's focus on China
  • Possible reasons for M&M's move to manufacture SsangYong cars in China include lowering production cost and improving sales.

    If SsangYong moved for sales in the US, it would have to build up its distribution network from the ground up.

    Instead, manufacturing cars in China would enable SsangYong, which already has a market presence in China, to sell its cars in China at lower costs.
