Our casting yield grows by higher energy consumption, high consumption of resources and cheap labor, environmental pollution and low price. The 2008 financial crisis caused great influence to the export of Chinese automobile castings products, and it appeared quickly decreasing. Therefore, compared with the developed nations in automobile manufacturing industry , the gap of casting production level and light-alloy application of our country is still very big.
In order to encouraging the development of China's automobile castings industry, supported by the ministry of commerce, Gasgoo International and China International automobile parts exposition (CIAPE) jointly hosted the 2010 "the most competitive car parts selection activity" top 100 in Shanghai in December 2009.
