The new technology development center set up by the Sino-German joint venture FAW-Volkswagen Automotive Co Ltd will vastly improve the technology advantage of the overall auto industry and the company, officials said.

It will also promote research and development of automobile hardware, research on vehicle safety, performance, drive systems, intelligent lighting systems and so on, they said.
