Spain's Santana Motors revived by Chinese auto alliance


BARCELONA, Spain, May 8 (Xinhua) -- Santana Motors, the Spanish 4x4 automaker that once made the legendary Land Rover Santana and Suzuki Santana models, has a new lease of life thanks to an alliance with Chinese-owned firms Zhengzhou Nissan and Anhui Coronet.

The joint venture officially made public in a ceremony in China last week will produce off-road vehicles at the historic Santana Factory in Linares in the south of Spain, which closed in 2011 after the company ran into financial difficulties.
