Fast transmissions are originally from China, utilizing American technology and manufactured in Xi'an. Fast, officially known as Shaanxi Fast Auto Drive Group Company Limited, was transformed from the former Shaanxi Automobile Gear Factory. It is a large-scale specialized production base mainly engaged in manufacturing heavy-duty vehicle transmissions, transfer cases, power take-offs, and various automotive gears and their forged and cast components.

I know about the Fast brand because I've worked in the automotive industry for most of my life, starting in the 1980s when I first got involved with auto parts. Fast is a domestic Chinese brand headquartered in Xi'an, Shaanxi, founded in 1968, specializing in the production of automotive transmissions, particularly for heavy-duty trucks and commercial vehicles. It started as a small local factory, gradually growing by learning foreign technologies, and has now become one of China's largest transmission manufacturers with a leading market share. I remember in the 1990s, Fast introduced high-torque transmissions that supported mining trucks operating in harsh terrains, earning high praise. Today, it has innovatively developed automatic transmissions and hybrid systems, exporting to over 50 countries like Russia and Brazil, helping China's automotive industry reduce import dependence. From my personal experience, having attended many domestic exhibitions and interacted with their engineers, I feel a deep sense of pride—this kind of domestic brand represents the country's industrial strength and has driven the upgrading of 'Made in China.'
