History

In August 2012, Jiangling Motors announced it would acquire all the stake of the Taiyuan-based heavy truck manufacturer Taiyuan Changan Heavy Truck Company from its shareholders Changan and China South Industries Group Corporation. Taiyuan Changan Heavy Truck had been established in 2007 and planned to sell about 15,000 trucks by 2012 and be in the level of the top-ten truck manufacturers within China, but the actual number that year was about 3,000. Taiyuan Changan Heavy Truck was reincorporated as JMC Heavy Duty Vehicle and restarted operations on 8 January 2013. In July 2014, Ford and JMCH signed an agreement for the latter to produce Ford-based heavy trucks. In 2015, JMCH completed the construction of a new assembly plant and an engine plant. The first product from the company, the Cargo-based Weilong, was unveiled at the 2017 Shanghai Motor Show and deliveries started in October 2017. In 2018, the company introduced the F-MAX-based Weilong HV5.
