On July 13, 1956, the first automobile of New China, the Jiefang CA10 truck, rolled off the production line at the First Automobile Works (predecessor of FAW Group) in Changchun, Jilin Province. This marked a significant milestone in New China's automotive industry and even the mechanical industry. Additional information: Below is an introduction to the performance models of New China's automobiles: 1. The early Jiefang models included CA10, CA10B, CA10C, etc., featuring rear-wheel drive, a 6-cylinder in-line water-cooled four-stroke gasoline engine with a maximum power of 70 kW, a load capacity of 4 tons, capable of towing a 4.5-ton trailer, with a top speed of 75 km/h and a fuel consumption of 29 liters per 100 km. 2.
