Honda Motor Co plans to more than double its annual sales in China to 1.3 million units by 2015 through an aggressive new model offensive.

The Japanese carmaker announced in a recent press conference in Beijing that it will introduce 12 new models to China from this year to 2015, and five of them will be developed specially for Chinese customers.

Six of the new cars will be produced at its joint venture with Guangzhou Automobile Group Co, and the other half will be made at its partnership with Dongfeng Motor Corp, according to the company.
