About us

CarNewsChina.com, formerly TheTycho.com, is based in Beijing and aims to tell the world about the Chinese Automotive Industry. That we do with articles about new cars, spy shots, the industry, politics and much more.

Even though cars are my main subject I like everything on wheels. If there is interesting news about trucks, buses or trains you will read it here.

The homepage has it all but for easy access the news is divided by categories:

China Car Culture: how people get along with their cars in China, the good ways and the bad.

China Car History: China started making cars in the early ’50′s and a lot happened between then and today. This history however is still largely unknown, we hope to change that at least a bit.

China Concept Cars: from brilliant ideas to complete madness, all the concept cars from auto shows in China, so you can see where it is going…

Green News: there is no way around is, green is the future, but the future ain’t there yet. China is looking for a green solution but sales of hybrids and EV’s are disappointing. All news on new green cars and green policies.

Industry News: the numbers on sales, news on joint ventures, investments, take overs, strikes, and most important in China: politics.

New Cars from China: the latest cars to hit the market; pics and specs.

Spotted in China: all kind of vehicles seen on China’s streets. From strange three-wheel electric cars to hyperfast supercars.

Spy Shots: the very first pictures of new Chinese cars.

Brands: the biggest category of all with sub-categories for every brand in China. It ain’t so far yet but this baby is growing every day. The ‘brands’ will of course overlap with the subject-orientated categories mentioned above.

About me: because people ask. I am a male, 36 years old, in Beijing for eight years and from The Netherlands. That is a funny little country in Europe also known as Holland where we speak Dutch.

The car in the header is a tin model of a Hongqi CA770.

That’s it for now, enjoy.
