History

In August 2012, Jiangling Motors announced it would acquire all the stake of the Taiyuan-based heavy truck manufacturer Taiyuan Changan Heavy Truck Company from its shareholders Changan (80% stake) and China South Industries Group Corporation (20%).[2][3] Taiyuan Changan Heavy Truck had been established in 2007 and planned to sell about 15,000 trucks by 2012 and be in the level of the top-ten truck manufacturers within China, but the actual number that year was about 3,000.[4] Taiyuan Changan Heavy Truck was reincorporated as JMC Heavy Duty Vehicle (JMCH) and restarted operations on 8 January 2013.[5] In July 2014, Ford and JMCH signed an agreement for the latter to produce Ford-based heavy trucks.[6] In 2015, JMCH completed the construction of a new assembly plant and an engine plant.[5] The first product from the company, the Cargo-based Weilong, was unveiled at the 2017 Shanghai Motor Show[7] and deliveries started in October 2017.[8] In 2018, the company introduced the F-MAX-based Weilong HV5.[9]

Products

As of 2019, the company sells two Ford-based heavy trucks, the Weilong and Weilong HV5, under various configurations.[5]

gollark: The road mostly doesn't have hard control problems. It just has issues like modelling human drivers and dealing with weird inconsistent signage and whatever.
gollark: I don't know enough about helicopters or RL.
gollark: That's mostly in the processing end. And we can kind of replicate that.
gollark: Nobody is using smell and taste to fly helicopters, probably.
gollark: It isn't as if you can't buy cameras and IMUs and microphones.
