1 Answers
In July 1956, the first batch of domestically produced cars were Jiefang brand trucks, primarily used for military cargo transport. Here's more relevant information: Jiefang brand trucks: The Jiefang brand trucks were successfully manufactured in 1956 at the Changchun First Automobile Works. The emergence of Jiefang brand trucks marked the end of China's inability to produce automobiles. The first model of Jiefang brand truck was called CA10, which was based on Soviet truck designs. The vehicle weighed 3,900 kilograms, equipped with a 90-horsepower, 4-stroke 6-cylinder engine, with a load capacity of 4 tons and a maximum speed of 65 km/h, making it suitable for China's road conditions at that time. Jiefang trucks featured robust structures and long service life, which is why the original model remained in production for 30 years. The evolution of FAW (First Automobile Works) serves as a microcosm of China's automotive industry development. After decades of progress, Chinese automobiles have entered international markets in large quantities.
