Introduction
Chongqing Airport Industrial Park (Chongqing Airport IP) was approved and established by the Chongqing municipal government in January 2002 as a municipality-level development park.
Chongqing Airport IP has a favorable geographic location. It is only 1 km away from Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport, which ranked tenth in terms of passenger throughput (10.4 million persons) in China in 2007. Cuntan Deep-water Port, the largest container port in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, is 13 km from Chongqing Airport IP. Longtousi Railway Station, engaged in both passenger and cargo transportation, is 11 km from the park. In addition, Chongqing Light Rail's Line 3 runs through the park from north to south, while the Second Ring Freeway runs across the park from east to west.
Chongqing is rich in advanced human resources. It has fifty-six colleges and universities with 97,500 graduates in 2007. Four key national-level laboratories and five national-level engineering research centers are located in the city. These institutions are able to provide plenty of high-end talents for the development of Chongqing Airport IP.
Investment Climate
Automobile and motorcycle manufacturing, equipment manufacturing and textiles have been Chongqing Airport IP's pillar industries.
Automobile and motorcycle manufacturing bases have been formed within the park. Approximately eighty enterprises engaged in auto, motorcycle and machinery parts manufacturing have been established. Two such enterprises, Anhui Ankai Automobile and Zhengzhou Yutong Group, are both engaged in bus manufacturing. Chongqing Chang'an Automobile (Group)<000625>, listed on the Shenzhen stock exchange, is a major commercial vehicles manufacturer.

Chongqing Hengtong Bus is a natural gas power vehicles manufacturer, while Chongqing Yinxiang Motorcycle (group) mainly deals with motorcycle manufacturing.
In 2005, Bosch, one of the park's Fortune 500 companies and a leading global industrial technology manufacturer, launched a joint venture company named United Automotive Electronic Systems within Chongqing Airport IP. It is mainly engaged in researching and manufacturing engine management systems. The program commenced operations in July 2006.
