Dongfeng Motor Corp

China's Wuhan city is considering steps to support its biggest local automaker Dongfeng Motor Corp, according to a draft policy document reviewed by Reuters, as the epicentre of China's novel coronavirus outbreak tries to revive its economy.

China, the world's biggest auto market, wants all-electric battery cars and plug-in hybrids to account for at least one-fifth of its vehicle sales by 2025.

Authorities are investigating the chairman of China Southern Airlines, the country's biggest carrier, for "severe violations of discipline", according to an official statement, using a phrase which typically refers to corruption.

Another Chinese automaker is showing vehicles this year at the auto show in Detroit, raising the perennial question about when these companies might start selling in the international markets.
