FAW Group Corporation, formerly known as First Automobile Works, is located in Changchun City, Jilin Province, China. Here is some relevant information about FAW: 1. Introduction to FAW: Its predecessor was the First Automobile Works, with the factory name inscribed by Chairman Mao Zedong and founded by Rao Bin, established on July 15, 1953. After more than sixty years of development, FAW has become a state-owned large-scale automobile enterprise group with an annual production and sales volume of 3 million vehicles, consistently ranking in the top tier of the industry in terms of total production and sales. 2. FAW's technological innovation: In terms of technological innovation, FAW has national key laboratories and postdoctoral research stations. Over the past decade, FAW's scientific and technological research achievements have won more than 150 national and industry awards. The 'Independent Development of the Sixth Generation Jiefang Heavy-duty Series Commercial Vehicles and Diesel Engines' project won the first prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award. Currently, FAW is actively integrating global advantageous resources to build a 'Three Countries and Five Locations' R&D layout.
I looked it up, FAW Group's headquarters is located in Changchun City, Jilin Province. Changchun is a major city in Northeast China and the capital of Jilin Province, a place with significant historical importance. FAW was established there in 1953 as the first large-scale automobile factory after the founding of the People's Republic of China, initially producing Jiefang brand trucks. I've been interested in industrial history since childhood and find FAW's development story particularly inspiring—from a single factory to a globally renowned automaker, driving the industrialization of the entire Northeast. Changchun itself has a strong industrial foundation, and FAW doesn't just manufacture vehicles there but also fosters the surrounding industrial chain, such as gathering component suppliers in the area. If you're curious about automobile manufacturing, visiting FAW's industrial park during a trip to Changchun can be quite rewarding. Actually, many cities have automobile enterprises, but Changchun has become a 'Motor City' thanks to FAW, which is quite distinctive.
