The China FAW Group, a leading automaker based in Changchun, Jilin province celebrated its 70th anniversary on Saturday as its 55.77 millionth vehicle - a Hongqi E-HS9 - rolled off the production line.

Since its establishment on July 15, 1953, FAW has become a leader in industrial revitalization and made an important contribution to regional economic growth.

China's first domestically made vehicle, the Jiefang CA10 4-metric-ton loading truck, rolled off the FAW assembly line on July 13, 1956, marking the first real step taken by the indigenous automobile industry, and ending the country's lack of manufacturing ability.

Over the past seven decades, the company has produced 55.77 million vehicles, with a lifetime revenue of nearly 8.3 trillion yuan ($1.157 trillion), with a profits and taxes totalling over 1.87 billion yuan.

The company has assets totaling over 600 billion yuan.

The brand value of "China FAW" exceeds 420 billion yuan, and the brand value of "FAW Jiefang" and "FAW Hongqi" each exceeds 110 billion yuan.
