Yuanwei Group (Daxian: 远威集团), also known as Yuanwei, is a Daxian automotive manufacturing company based in Mirzak. Founded in 1989 as a joint venture between Chromeria and the Daxian state-owned Mirzak Heavy Industries, Yuanwei primarily manufactures affordable passenger vehicles for the Daxian domestic market and select export markets in Rusana and Canpei. The company operates under Daxia's "Controlled Partnership Framework" which requires significant oversight from state authorities and mandates specific technology-sharing arrangements with domestic firms.

The company's product line consists mainly of basic sedans, compact cars, and small SUVs built on simplified Chromeria platforms. Its most successful model, the YW300 Prosperity sedan, has been Daxia's best-selling passenger car for six consecutive years, though independent analysis suggests official sales figures may be inflated by government fleet purchases. Yuanwei maintains three major manufacturing facilities in Daxia with a total annual production capacity of 450,000 vehicles, though actual output rarely exceeds 65% of this capacity due to various regulatory constraints and "administrative adjustments."

Despite being 49% owned by Chromeria, Yuanwei's operations are heavily influenced by Daxian state interests through a complex network of regulatory bodies and partner companies. The firm must navigate strict local content requirements, mandatory technology transfers, and evolving "social harmony" guidelines that affect everything from design choices to marketing strategies. This has led to Yuanwei developing what industry analysts call a "parallel development model" where vehicles are engineered twice - once to meet international standards and again to satisfy domestic requirements. In recent years, Yuanwei has attempted to move upmarket with models like the YW750 Chairman executive sedan, though these efforts have been constrained by unofficial policies favoring domestic luxury brands. The company's revenue has declined since 2030, partly due to increased competition from state-backed manufacturers and stricter enforcement of local partnership requirements.

Since 2017, Min Fu has been serving as President and CEO of Yuanwei.

History

Organization

Yuanwei Group maintains a dual organizational structure that balances international corporate standards with Daxian administrative requirements. This creates what industry analysts call a "shadow hierarchy" where official reporting lines often differ from actual operational control.

The company is officially organized into five divisions:

  • Yuanwei Automotive (整车制造) - Primary vehicle manufacturing operations
  • Yuanwei Technology (技术发展) - Research and development
  • Yuanwei Parts (零件制造) - Components and parts manufacturing
  • Yuanwei Commercial (商用车辆) - Commercial vehicle operations
  • Yuanwei International (国际业务) - Export operations and international relations

However, each division must coordinate with a parallel "Administrative Guidance Committee" (行政指导委员会) staffed by Daxian officials who ensure operations align with state economic plans. Each manufacturing facility has a Political Affairs Office dedicated to "worker conduct and ideology" and a "Harmony Maintenance Office" for "dispute resolution and stability".

Corporate affairs

Executive management

The company's management structure follows the "Triple Harmony System" (三重和谐制度), where each key position has three complementary roles and allows Yuanwei to maintain the appearance of a modern international corporation while ensuring all operations remain under careful state supervision and align with Daxian economic and political objectives:

  • Min Fu — President and CEO
  • Ding Zhi — Executive Director
  • Yong Bong — Party Secretary
  • Lang Da — Chief Technical Officer
  • Zhen Quan — Technical Director
  • — Technology Security Officer
