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.
