The first Chinese automobile manufactured in North America will be a three-wheeled vehicle made in a factory on the outskirts of Tijuana.

Chamco Automotive, a company set up to import Chinese vehicles to the United States, will open a $300 million Tijuana assembly plant in 2009 that will produce the vehicles of Hebei Zhongxing Automobile.
