Changchun First Automobile Works assembled the first Jiefang brand truck. Below are specific details about China's first automobile: 1. History: The first batch of Jiefang trucks rolling off the production line were called CA10 models. Based on the Soviet ZIS-150 design, these vehicles weighed 3,900 kg, equipped with a 90-horsepower four-stroke six-cylinder engine, with a load capacity of 4 tons and a maximum speed of 65 km/h. After improvements, they became more suitable for China's road conditions and large-scale construction needs. 2. Process: The first batch of Jiefang trucks participated in the 1956 National Day parade, with some later exhibited at Tiananmen Square, attracting countless citizens eager to witness the debut of domestically produced vehicles. 3. Significance: The birth of the first Jiefang truck embodied the hard work of all builders and reflected the direct leadership and high-level attention from the Party Central Committee. The naming process of China's first automotive brand "Jiefang" particularly demonstrated this point.
