On the outskirts of the city lies the Alabuga special economic zone (SEZ) where, among a smattering of grime-encrusted buildings and two unfinished helipads, Great Wall Motor, one of China's up-and-coming automakers, plans to build a $70 million factory capable of churning out 50,000 cars and SUVs a year. If it gets a green light from Russian officials, the factory will be Great Wall Motor's sixth overseas manufacturing facility - and one of the company's launching pads...
...study Mandarin, and I acclimated quickly to the city’s vast size and urban sprawl.

Caterpillar has moved beyond remanufacturing just its own diesel engines and components; 40% of the automotive, truck, rail and marine motors and parts remanufactured in Shrewsbury were originally built by other companies. Fisher calls reman a "nicely profitable business." How profitable? Cat does not break out the figures, but Fisher says the returns are "above average," and Nasr notes that profit margins for some reman goods are double those of new products...
