  Of all the trucks that entered the market this year, 215,600 were medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, it added.

  The company's performance started to rebound in recent years after its sales hit a low point due to problems found in services and some products.

  In 2016, it sold 202,000 trucks, of which 185,000 were medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, holding the biggest market share in China at 19.25 percent.

  Founded in 1953 and headquartered in China's northeast Jilin Province, the state-owned FAW Group is known as the cradle of China's auto industry.
