Chinese car maker Beijing Automotive Industry Corporation (Baic) is working around the clock to speed up the construction of the R11bn plant it is building at the Coega industrial development zone near Port Elizabeth.
Baic SA project spokesperson Tao Li said one of the measures introduced to speed up construction was working day and night, including on Saturdays and Sundays.
Li said the plant’s roofing structure was now in place, adding that more construction materials were being shipped from China.
Baic SA has revised its project plan for the Coega project, adjusting it to make up for lost construction time owing to site disruptions from disgruntled small, medium and micro enterprises.
The first phase will have installed capacity to assemble up to 50 000 units per annum. This number is expected to double at full capacity in the second phase.
