FAW trucks on Twitter
FAW Trucks ended the month of April on a high note when the 7 000th locally assembled vehicle rolled out of its Coega manufacturing plant in Nelson Mandela Bay.
This marked another significant milestone for the Chinese brand that took the top spot in the Heavy Commercial Vehicle (HCV) segment of the local market for the first time in the first quarter of this year.
The unit in question was a JH6 28.500FT model, which has since been delivered to a well-established strategic fleet customer.
Funded by the China FAW Group Corporation and the China-Africa Development Fund, the first vehicle rolled off the Coega assembly line in July 2014.
All units arrive in South Africa in semi knocked-down form and are then assembled at Coega.
Currently, the Coega facility has a production capacity of 3 000 units per annum, but this is scalable to 5 000 to be able to meet the growing demand for FAW Trucks models.
