Jinan Automobile Manufacturing Plant, founded in 1956, successfully manufactured China’s first heavy truck, the Yellow River JN150, in 1960, ending the history of China’s inability to produce heavy vehicles. Since then, SinotruK has gone through the stages of technology introduction, market reform, independent innovation, and gradually developed into China’s largest heavy vehicle production base, exporting its products to more than 110 countries and regions around the world, and maintaining the first place in the national heavy truck industry export for many years.
