Company Overview
China National Heavy Duty Truck Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "SINOTRUK") was formerly known as Jinan Automobile Manufacturing Plant, which was founded in 1930 and is the cradle of my country's heavy-duty automobile industry. In 1960, China's first heavy-duty automobile, the Yellow River brand JN150 eight-ton cargo truck, was manufactured, ending China's history of not being able to produce heavy-duty automobiles. In the early days of socialist construction, the "Yellow River" truck was well-known throughout the country, made significant contributions to the development of the national economy and national defense construction, and became one of the iconic achievements of the Chinese nation's self-reliance and hard work. In 1983, it successfully introduced the Austrian Steyr heavy-duty automobile project, becoming one of the earliest domestic companies to fully introduce foreign heavy-duty automobile complete vehicle manufacturing technology. "Steyr" once became synonymous with my country's heavy-duty trucks. In 2007, it successfully achieved a red chip listing on the main board in Hong Kong, initially building a platform for international development. In 2004, the self-developed new generation of heavy-duty trucks, the HOWO brand, was born and launched on the market in 2005, achieving a production and sales of more than 10,000 units that year, setting a new record in the history of China's heavy-duty trucks at the time. In 2013, the Shandeka series of products with independent intellectual property rights were officially launched on the market, leading the development of the domestic heavy-duty automobile industry. In 2020, a new generation of high-end national brand "Yellow River" heavy-duty trucks will be launched globally, leading China's heavy-duty trucks to become world-class. China National Heavy Duty Truck mainly develops, produces and sells various trucks, special vehicles, special-purpose vehicles, and assemblies and auto parts such as engines, gearboxes, and axles. It has a full range of commercial vehicle brands such as Yellow River, Shandeka, and Howo. It is one of the heavy-duty truck companies with full drive forms and power coverage in my country's heavy-duty truck industry. It has three listed companies, namely China National Heavy Duty Truck (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. (Hong Kong red chip company), China National Heavy Duty Truck Group Jinan Truck Co., Ltd. (Shenzhen A-share listed company), and Zhongtong Bus Co., Ltd. (Shenzhen A-share listed company). Products are exported to more than 110 countries and regions, accounting for half of my country's heavy-duty truck exports. With the corporate vision of "building a world-class full-series commercial vehicle group", China National Heavy Duty Truck has accelerated the pace of independent innovation, continued to increase R&D investment, introduced high-end technical talents, created an entrepreneurial ecology, and built a high-end national independent brand.
