Wuling Motors

Liuzhou Wuling Automobile

The Wuling car brand was established in 1982 by Liuzhou Wuling Automobile, with a focus on the growing demand for small delivery vehicles in the domestic Chinese market during the 1980s. After completing a trial production series in 1982, Wuling commenced full-scale production of its first model, the LZ110, in 1984.[5] This vehicle was developed under a licensing agreement with Mitsubishi Motors, making it a twin design to the third-generation Mitsubishi Minicab.[6]

Building on Mitsubishi's technology, Wuling introduced a successor to the LZ110 in 1990, named the Dragon.[7] Presented as a more modern model, the Dragon was a deeply updated version of the LZ110. In 1998, Wuling launched the LZW6370, a model developed under a licensing agreement with another Japanese manufacturer Daihatsu and based on the Daihatsu Zebra.[8]

SAIC-GM-Wuling and Wuling Group

In 2002, Wuling entered into a partnership with SAIC Motor and General Motors to form a joint venture called SAIC-GM-Wuling. This joint venture was headquartered in Liuzhou, Guangxi, China, and became responsible for manufacturing all subsequent Wuling brand models.[9][10][11]

In 2007, the Wuling Group gained greater independence and established a new division specializing in trucks and custom-built vehicles. This division operated under the Wuling brand and logo, similar to Wuling's Red Label. In 2015, the Wuling Group underwent a major corporate restructuring, becoming a corporation and rebranding itself as Guangxi Automobile Group.[9]
