CHANGCHUN, Oct. 25 (Xinhua) -- FAW-Volkswagen Automobile Co., Ltd., a passenger car joint venture between China FAW Group Co., Ltd. and Volkswagen AG, had rolled 25 million vehicles off its production line as of Monday, the company said.
The 25 millionth car produced by the company was a Tavendor SUV model and rolled off the assembly line in the company's production base in Changchun, capital of northeast China's Jilin Province.
