FAW Group Corporation (simplified Chinese: 第一汽车集团; traditional Chinese: 第一汽車集團; pinyin: Dìyī Qìchē Jítuán) is a state-owned enterprise with publicly-traded subsidiaries: FAW Car Company (SZSE: 000800), Tianjin FAW Xiali Automobile Co Ltd (SZSE: 000927) and Changchun FAWAY Automobile Components Co Ltd (SSE: 600742).
A maker of automobiles; buses; light, medium, and heavy-duty trucks; and auto parts; FAW became China's first automobile manufacturer when it unveiled the nation's first domestically-produced passenger car, the Hong Qi, in 1958.
In 2009, FAW was the largest machinery corporation and the second largest auto manufacturer in China.
FAW has its headquarters in Changchun, a tree-lined city on the northeastern Songliao Plain.
History
In 1953, the first year of the first five-year plan, First Automobile Works broke ground for its first factory, but it wouldn't produce its first product, the CA-10 4-ton Jiefang commercial truck, for three more years. Soviet Russia lent assistance during these early years, providing technical support, tooling and production machinery. Before its first factory opened, 39 Chinese FAW employees traveled to the Stalin Truck Factory for instruction in truck production.
First Automobile Works initially made only commercial trucks but started producing passenger cars in 1958. These vehicles, the Hong Qi luxury sedans, were the first domestically-produced Chinese automobiles. Only for party elite, the design changed little over their thirty-year production run.
Though FAW was not the first Chinese automaker to take on foreign partners, (SAIC was the first, in 1984 and also with VW) its early joint venture with Volkswagen in 1990 made FAW the second Chinese auto company to develop a strong cooperative relationship with a foreign counterpart, something which is mandatory for foreign automakers selling products in the Chinese market. Other foreign joint ventures followed. FAW acquired Tianjin Xiali and as a result ended up with Toyota as a foreign joint venture partner in 2003. FAW established a joint venture with General Motors in 2009 and has joint ventures with a handful of other foreign companies as well.
In 1992, the name First Automobile Works was changed to China FAW Group Corporation.
Badge
The FAW "winged 1" badge is derived from the Chinese 一汽 ("一" meaning "one" and "汽", "automobile") and depicts a hawk spreading its wings. The logo was introduced in 1964.
Brands
FAW sells products under at least ten different brands, including its own. These include the following:
- Besturn, established on August 18, 2006,
- Haima, a brand for Mazda-based vehicles built in Hainan.
- Huali, a brand of Tianjin Auto Works Company, a car manufacturing subsidiary of FAW.
- Shenli,
- Pengxiang,
- Dario,
- Yuan Zheng,
- Xiali,
- Hong Qi, (meaning "Red Flag") and
- Jie Fang
Its foreign joint ventures also manufacture the following brands for sale in the Chinese market:
Recent events
FAW will produce an electric vehicle in cooperation with VW perhaps as soon as 2013.
Export countries
While primarily manufacturing products for sale in its home market, FAW has exported products to many countries beginning in 1957 with the sale of three commercial trucks to a businessperson in Jordan.
