Common card · No. 421304

Beijing Benz Automotive Co., Ltd. is an automotive manufacturing company headquartered in Beijing, China, and a joint venture between BAIC Motor and Mercedes-Benz Group. It was initially established in January 1984 as a joint venture between the Beijing Automotive Engineering Company (BAECO) and American Motors Corporation (AMC) of Michigan, USA, and was therefore named Beijing Jeep Corporation (Chinese: 北京吉普汽车有限公司). It was the first Chinese auto-making joint venture with a Western partner. The joint venture was unaffected by Chrysler's acquisition of AMC in 1987, Chrysler's merger with German automaker Daimler-Benz AG in 1998, and continued after DaimlerChrysler AG sold its Chrysler division to Cerberus in 2007.
