An auto sales center expected to be the largest of its kind in China will be built this year in the northern industrial city of Tianjin.

Fang Guiying, board chairman of the Tianjin Wangdingdi Group Company, said that his company will join the China Company of Auto Sales to create the center in the Xiqing District of Tianjin.

The auto center, expecting a yearly business volume of some 10 billion yuan, will occupy a land area of more than 120,000 sq. meters, and the first phase is expected to be complete this July.
