China's largest car manufacturer SAIC Motor says it will build its first factory in Europe, after sales of its vehicles on the continent jumped.
The state-controlled company - which owns the iconic MG brand - says the new plant will produce electric vehicles.
However, a spokesperson told the BBC that SAIC has not yet decided whether MG models would be made at the site.
MG, which has roots dating back over a century, was made in the UK until production was moved to China in 2016.
