Brand history

Established on July 15, 1953, FAW Group (First Automobile Works) is China's first automobile manufacturer. Its first product, the Jiefang CA-10 truck, was released in 1956. In 1958, FAW produced China's first passenger car, the Hongqi, primarily for the Party elite. In the 1980s, FAW expanded its operations by establishing joint ventures with international automakers, notably with Volkswagen in 1984, leading to the production of the Santana, the first Volkswagen made in China. In 1991, FAW formed a joint venture with Volkswagen, FAW-Volkswagen, to produce passenger vehicles. Over the decades, FAW diversified its production to include passenger cars, trucks, and buses, and strengthened its international presence. In 2020, FAW produced over 1.5 million vehicles, solidifying its position as one of China's largest automobile manufacturers. (en.wikipedia.org)
