 Development Milestone

SINOTRUK is the domestic cradle of the heavy-duty auto industry.

In 1960, we assembled the HUANGEHE JN150 8-ton truck — the first China-made heavy-duty truck.

In 1983, our production process for heavy-duty vehicles was successfully integrated with the manufacturing technology of Steyr, Austria.

In 2007, our company became listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange main board, in the form of red chips.

In 2009, we founded the National Engineering Research Center for Heavy-duty Trucks. In the same year, we established strategically relevant cooperation with the MAN Group, Germany. MAN owns 25% plus 1 shares of SINOTRUK (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. From this mutually beneficial business relationship we derived engine types such as D20, D26, and D08. These engines are applicable for medium and heavy truck axles. The infusion of complete vehicle technology from MAN has provided a solid foundation for the long-term development of our enterprise.
