1 Answers
China's first batch of domestically produced cars was the Jiefang CA10 heavy-duty truck. Here are some additional details: 1. Origin of the Jiefang CA10 heavy-duty truck: This batch of vehicles was manufactured in July 1956 at the First Automobile Works in Changchun, Jilin Province, showcasing China's capability in independent automobile manufacturing. 2. Birth of the Jiefang CA10 heavy-duty truck: It marked the end of the era when China was considered incapable of producing automobiles. The model was based on the prototype of the ZIS-150 4-ton truck from Stalin Automobile Plant. The name "Jiefang" (meaning "liberation") was personally chosen by Chairman Mao Zedong, and the "CA" designation was later used in subsequent FAW product models.
