šŸš— CHANGAN POD SPECIAL šŸš—
Ā 
There’s been so much interest in our recent interview with Nic Thomas, UK Managing Director of Changan, that we decided to make it available as a standalone episode!
Ā 
Changan will be a new name to many pod listeners, but it’s a well-established brand in China and throughout Asia. The carmaker launches in the UK in September, in time for the 75 plate-change.
Ā 
Nic has been with the business in a European capacity for 18 months, before which he held senior UK and global roles at Nissan and Ford.
Ā 
What makes Changan different to other new entrant Chinese brands is that it already has a presence in the UK with an R&D centre in Birmingham, which has been operational for 15 years!
Ā 
With the brand just weeks away from launch, Nic discusses its strategic and network plans with Curtis and Phil exclusively on the Motor Trade Radio podcast, powered by MOTORS.
