Lifan and Changhe, two small, privately owned Chinese carmakers, will rely on Italy's Martin Motors for their first Europewide auto launches. Martin Motors has the rights to sell Lifan and Changhe models in western, central and eastern Europe. The vehicles will be rebadged with the Martin Motors logo, said Martin Motors spokeswoman Viviana Martinelli.
 
The privately owned distributor, based near Milan, plans to sell a combined 10,000 Lifan and Changhe units in Europe this year. They will go on sale in Romania at the beginning of this year, and in Italy in spring, provided the vehicles pass homologation tests. Sales of the Changhe and Lifan vehicles are planned in other western European markets for the second half on next year, beginning with Germany, Austria and France.
