China is now the world's third largest car producer only after the United States and Japan. According to Schiller, China's current car park (of passenger vehicles) was 20 million in 2007. Schiller expects the figure to reach 39 million in 2010, "considering new passenger vehicles sales in 2008-2010 is 6.1 million, 7.0 million, 7.9 million respectively." "No doubt the Chinese market has become one of the most important auto markets in the world and it will keep its position in the future," he added.
