1 Answers
In July 1956, China's first domestically produced automobiles were the Jiefang brand trucks, primarily used for military cargo transport. The emergence of Jiefang trucks marked the end of China's inability to manufacture automobiles. Below is an introduction to Jiefang trucks: The creation of Jiefang trucks: The first model of Jiefang trucks was called the CA10, which was manufactured based on Soviet automobile designs. The vehicle weighed 3,900 kilograms and was equipped with a 90-horsepower, 4-stroke 6-cylinder engine. It had a load capacity of 4 tons and a top speed of 65 kilometers per hour, making it suitable for China's road conditions at that time. The development of Jiefang trucks: Jiefang trucks were known for their robust structure and long service life, which led to the production of older Jiefang models continuing for 30 years. The evolution of FAW (First Automobile Works) reflects the development of China's automobile industry. After decades of progress, Chinese automobiles have significantly entered the international market.
