It is a Chinese state-owned automotive manufacturing company headquartered in Changchun, Jilin, China. Its principal products are 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. FAW is one of the "Big Four" Chinese automakers, alongside Chang'an Motors, Dongfeng Motor, and SAIC Motor. The company ranked 3rd in terms of extent of output making 3.6 million whole vehicles. Passenger cars made up a relatively scant 64% of total production. Consumer offerings may account for an even smaller percentage; the number of cars counted as passenger vehicles likely includes light commercial trucks and vans. Development zones
