FAW's Continued Brilliance
2024-02-18
Time flows quietly, adorning the vibrant splendor of China's land.
Time flies like a shuttle, adorning the picturesque mountains and rivers.
Looking back on the 70-year journey of China's national automotive industry.
A ray of light always shines brightly.
It is the unwavering original aspiration that has paved the way forward,
It is a manifestation of the spirit of relentless perseverance,
It is the glory and shared responsibility of a strong nation, traversing across the rivers and mountains of our motherland.
Leave behind unforgettable memories of the era.
In 1956, along the vast highway, a green figure sped past—a brand-new First Auto Works CA10 truck, eager to join the booming wave of China's post-Revolution construction efforts. Inside the cab, the driver proudly hummed "Labor Chant," his face brimming with joy at driving a domestically produced vehicle. What an uplifting melody it was, and what a spirited journey ahead!
Entering the 1980s, as reform and opening-up continued to deepen, a flood of imported trucks poured into the Chinese market, posing significant challenges to FAW Trucks. To accelerate the modernization process and better meet the demands of the times, FAW Trucks grandly launched its second-generation product, the CA141, at the start of the new year in 1987. With the fastest pace and highest standards, they successfully achieved their transformation. Driven by relentless hard work, the team at FAW Trucks embarked on a second entrepreneurial journey.
In 1995, to keep pace with international trends in heavy-duty truck development, FAW Truck began mass-producing its third-generation trucks featuring a completely new flat-head design. Since then, FAW Truck’s third-generation flat-head diesel trucks have accompanied business owners across the country—traveling from coastal regions to inland areas, and from northern territories all the way to the southernmost frontiers. Everywhere you look, you’ll spot FAW trucks swiftly advancing forward!
In 2002, large-scale infrastructure projects flourished across the country. To meet the demands of these construction initiatives, FAW Truck unveiled its fourth-generation product—the "Four Major Reinforcements" series—immediately earning the prestigious title of "King of Construction Machinery." The powerful roar of FAW Truck engines resonated throughout China, writing a new chapter of remarkable achievement in the nation's economic rise.
In 2004, as China stepped into the new millennium, it became even more confident and self-reliant. The country achieved globally acclaimed milestones in energy engineering and aerospace engineering. At this moment, FAW Trucks—driven by unwavering national pride and a steadfast commitment to independent innovation—once again announced to the world that China's automotive industry is proudly moving forward, this time with its fifth-generation product: the Aowei heavy-duty truck.
In 2007, China's manufacturing sector achieved leapfrog development, and the automotive industry accelerated its pace of innovation. That year, FAW Jiefang launched its next-generation truck—Jiefang J6—marking the beginning of a new journey for truck owners to achieve prosperity. By 2019, the J6 had surpassed 1 million units in sales, solidifying its reputation as an "industry legend" among trucks.
In 2018, the world’s attention frequently turned to China, as FAW Jiefang, driven by its mission to "build a powerful automotive nation and serve the country’s industrial development," set its sights on achieving international standards for high-end heavy-duty trucks. After seven years of intensive research and development, the J7 has officially joined the ranks of the world’s top-tier heavy-duty trucks. By 2021, FAW Jiefang had surpassed 8 million cumulative truck units produced and sold, cementing its position as China’s undisputed leader in commercial vehicles.
70 years of relentless advancement have painted a magnificent masterpiece.
Seven generations of models have raced forward, leaving an indelible mark on the memories of their time.
