History

Wuling microvans have been manufactured since 1982. In 1986 Wuling's predecessor company, Liuzhou Automotive Industry Corporation, reached an agreement with Mitsubishi Motors to assemble the L100 type Mitsubishi Minicab. Originally, 90% of parts were imported, but gradually local parts content increased. This small van was sold as the Liuzhou Wuling LZ 110.
The first Wulings to be exported were sent to Thailand in 1992. In 2001, SAIC Wuling Automobile Co. Ltd. was established, with SAIC-GM-Wuling being established in 2002. It is a joint venture with SAIC Motor and General Motors.
Both companies use the Wuling brand.
