The factory name was personally inscribed by Chairman Mao Zedong, and it was founded by Rao Bin, with the foundation laid on July 15, 1953.
I know that FAW's branch plants are mainly distributed in several key cities, with the headquarters located in Changchun, which serves as their core base, producing classic models like the Hongqi. Other branch plants include Tianjin, where there is a joint venture factory with FAW Toyota, manufacturing cars like the Corolla; Qingdao and Chengdu also have FAW-Volkswagen production lines, covering the East China and Southwest markets; Foshan in Guangdong is another important stronghold for Volkswagen, handling both export and domestic sales. These locations are strategically chosen, being close to ports or transportation hubs, helping to reduce logistics costs and meet regional demands. Having been in the automotive industry for a long time, I often visit these places and witness the production scale and efficiency firsthand, which truly reflects the growth of China's manufacturing strength. Understanding these details can also help consumers evaluate the convenience of after-sales service when buying a car, as proximity to factories means faster parts supply and more timely repairs.
