On September 20, 2007, the prestigious "World Managers Achievement Award" was presented in Hong Kong, recognizing outstanding leadership in China’s economics, management, and corporate sectors. President Chen Yuanqing of Jiangling Motors Co., Ltd. was honored alongside industry leaders such as Yang Chao from China Life Insurance and Zhang Ruimin of Haier Group for his remarkable contributions to the commercial vehicle industry.
Since taking the helm at Jiangling, Chen Yuanqing has led the company to unprecedented success. Under his leadership, the management team drove the company to new heights, with consistent growth in sales and net profit, placing Jiangling among the top players in the industry. Over three years, Chen not only overcame product shortages by launching new models each year but also expanded the company's market share and doubled its production capacity through technological upgrades. By 2005, during an industry downturn, Chen’s strategic moves helped Jiangling stand out as one of the few companies experiencing growth. Sales hit record highs in 2006 and 2007, drawing praise from investors and signaling a new era of rapid expansion.
In June 2007, Jiangling made it into the Top 100 Listed Companies in China for the fourth consecutive year and was ranked among the top 100 companies globally. The JMC brand was recognized as one of Asia’s Top 500 Brands, and Chen Yuanqing was honored with the “Golden Outstanding Entrepreneur†award for listed companies.
Chen’s journey began in January 2005 when he took over at Jiangling, a company facing significant challenges. The automotive sector had just experienced a sharp decline, and Jiangling’s stock was under pressure. With his extensive experience from Ford, including roles in the Asia-Pacific region, Chen quickly introduced a strategic framework centered on innovation, speed, execution, and integrity. His team implemented new strategies that led to a surge in sales and a nearly 30% increase in net profit, marking a major turning point for the company.
Chen championed the development of both JMC’s own brand and joint-venture models with Ford. Leveraging his connections, he brought global design resources to Jiangling, resulting in the successful launch of models like the V348 and the JX4D24 engine, which met strict emission standards. These innovations helped Jiangling capture market attention and achieve impressive sales performance.
Known for his fluency in English, Chen actively participates in international meetings, fostering communication across borders. He also introduced a unique "table meeting" style, where quick decisions were made over lunch, boosting efficiency. His leadership style emphasized simplicity, transparency, and swift execution, reinforcing Jiangling’s reputation for operational excellence.
Under his guidance, the company improved cost control and streamlined operations. By adopting best practices from Ford, Jiangling enhanced internal communication and adapted to fast-paced business environments. Chen also prioritized employee welfare, ensuring a supportive work environment that contributed to the company’s strong team culture.
Looking ahead, Chen envisions Jiangling as a leader in the commercial vehicle market, focusing on quality, innovation, and long-term sustainability. His strategy includes expanding internationally, targeting high-quality markets with competitive pricing and superior service. This approach helped Jiangling become one of China’s largest exporters of commercial vehicles.
Chen believes that as the Chinese auto market evolves, product specialization and brand value will play a key role in future growth. He continues to drive the company’s long-term vision, aiming to become a world-class automaker known for customer satisfaction and industry-leading products.
With confidence and determination, Chen Yuanqing remains committed to building a unique competitive edge, not just following trends, but setting new standards in the industry.
