200 1, Chunlan truck was officially put into production. At the beginning of listing, Chunlan truck owners pushed long-wheelbase trucks, vans, tractors and other varieties. After continuous development, Chunlan can produce more than 70 kinds of medium and heavy chassis. It can be seen that Chunlan has made great efforts in the research and development of trucks and introduced UD series cabs from Japan. At that time, the cab was of high-grade configuration, with air conditioning as standard.
From 2002 to 2004, Chunlan truck also had a brief glory. Chunlan Group once ranked third in the truck market, and its profits accounted for half of the group's total profits. At the first order fair, Chunlan dealers all over the country ordered more than 10000 vehicles, and the order amount exceeded 2 billion yuan.
For better development, Chunlan wants to join hands with Hino to set up a joint venture with an annual output of 60,000 heavy trucks. But it was stopped at that time for policy reasons. In this transition period, Chunlan Group has been dragged down by the shrinking of the home appliance industry. Can not provide financial support for the research and development of Chunlan truck. In the end, Chunlan automobile gradually declined. In July 2008, Chunlan Automobile, which suffered serious losses, was acquired by Jiangsu Xugong Group.
