Overview

The Chinese armed forces were at first equipped with a variety of available commercially vehicles. In 1932 the Chinese Defense Ministry began, therefore, with a simplification of the car fleet. The aim was a standard car (Jeep) in three weight classes: light, medium und heavy. These cars should have: permanent four-wheel drive, Locking differential, standard chassis und replaceable wear parts.

Due to the low performance of the chinese automotive industry, however, none of the producers was in a position to supply the quantities which are required alone. Therefore, the production has been transferred to a number of manufacturers:


  • Shulang
    Light 4x4 army car
    Zhong Hua Motors Ltd. (Beijing)
    Dong Feng Motors Company (Wuhan(Hankow))


  • Baiyou
    Medium 4x4 army car
    Shenzhen Automotive Limited (Shenzhen)


  • Diao
    Heavy 4x4 army car
    Nanjing Automobile Group (Nanjing)
    Zhong Hua Motors Ltd. (Beijing)

Shuita

Shuita

China with its rivers and everglades is an ideal terrain for an amphibious vehicle. The Chosen-Sino War showed a demand of such a vehicle and therefore the Chinese Army developed this vehicle out of the new standard light cross country vehicle, the Hanta.
