1 Answers
In July 1957, China's first domestically produced automobile was the Jiefang brand truck. Here are the relevant details: 1. Origin of the name: In the second half of 1953, the Stalin Automobile Plant suggested to the Chinese side to name the new tonnage truck. After consultation with Chairman Mao Zedong through his close associates, the Chairman personally decided on the name "Jiefang" (meaning "Liberation"). 2. Prototype: In July 1956, China's first domestically produced Jiefang CA10 tonnage truck rolled off the production line. At that time, FAW Group received assistance from the Soviet Union in automobile construction, and the chosen model was the ZIS-type tonnage truck from the Stalin Automobile Plant, which became the prototype for the Jiefang brand truck.
