The Chevrolet N300 is a rebadged Wuling Rongguang for sale in emerging markets such as Ecuador and others around the world except for Africa. The rebadged Wuling Rongguang Pickup Truck was a result of GM's joint venture with China's Wuling Motors. The partnership forms under the SAIC-GM-Wuling joint venture. The Chevrolet N300 was positioned above the Chevrolet N200, a rebadged Wuling Hongtu in a few other markets. According to GM International Operations Vice President, Sales, Marketing and Aftersales Mark Barnes, “The Chevrolet N300s are robust vehicles well suited for challenging off-road driving and the weather conditions faced by users in emerging markets.” [8]
