Hawtai (officially Hawtai Motor Group)[4] is a Chinese automotive manufacturing company headquartered in Beijing,[5] with production facilities in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, and Rongcheng, Shandong. 
Selling cars and SUVs under the Hawtai brand, from 2002 to 2010 the company had a joint venture or other form of legal cooperation with Hyundai Motors that manufactured Hyundai-brand passenger cars for the mainland China market; Hawtai continues to use some Hyundai technology today.[6] As of late 2010, its production capacity was reported to be 350,000 units/year.
[citation needed] What distinguishes Hawtai from rival private Chinese automakers is its diesel engine production ability. 
Billing itself as a clean vehicle brand, Hawtai also is a supplier to the Chinese State.
