AURORA, Ontario, November 19, 2025 — Magna is strengthening its presence in China with a new facility in the Jiujiang Economic Development Zone, Wuhu to support the growing demand of electric drive systems—starting with Chery and positioned to serve additional automakers in the future.
As China’s automotive industry accelerates toward electrification, localized production of electric technologies is more critical than ever. Magna’s new operation in Wuhu positions the company to meet this need and reinforces its role as a global leader in powertrain innovation.
“This expansion reflects Magna’s commitment to supporting our customers’ electrification strategies and advancing sustainable mobility,” said Diba Ilunga, President Magna Powertrain. “Wuhu offers a strong industrial foundation and an environment conducive to innovation. We are excited to bring our world-class electric drive technologies closer to Chery and other partners in China.”
The new facility will manufacture Magna’s eDrive systems, delivering smooth, high-performance electric propulsion with a scalable architecture for a wide range of battery electric vehicles.
These innovations enable automakers to achieve strict emissions standards and deliver efficient, high-performance electrified vehicles across diverse segments while enhancing driving dynamics.
Magna’s newly leased facility spans over 160,000 square feet and is expected to generate approximately 200 new jobs upon reaching full production.
Over the past 20 years, Magna has accelerated its growth in China. In 2024, the company recorded $5.6 billion in sales in the market, with approximately 60% of this revenue coming from Chinese OEMs.
