NAC and OGM formed a joint venture agreement to bring the MG brand of automobiles back to Europe and North America, following the purchase of MG from the defunct MG Rover Group in April of 2005. OGM negotiated to be the exclusive distributor of MG vehicles for North America, with a manufacturing base in Oklahoma for the production of a high-line MG sports car, and distribution point for future NAC homologated vehicles. OGM provided consultancy services to NAC in Longbridge, England, and to assist with the re-launch of the brand in Europe and North America. NAC previously had no experience in the European and North American markets. Chinese governmental mandates prevented the JV from being fully consummated. OGM continues to negotiate for license rights for the MG brand in North America.
