In 1969, Qingling manufactured the first heavy-duty truck in Chongqing, the Shancheng brand truck, and embarked on a long journey to develop the automotive industry.
In 1985, Qingling bravely set the trend of reform and opening up, seized the opportunity of rapid development of China's automobile industry, and established the first Sino foreign joint venture enterprise in Chongqing and the first Sino Japanese joint venture automobile enterprise in China with Isuzu. They launched the first Isuzu 630 light vehicle in China, which sold well throughout the country
For the past forty years, Qingling has continuously introduced new products and technologies from Isuzu, launching classic models such as 140 pickup trucks, UC multi-purpose vehicles, 100P, 600P, 700P, and F heavy-duty trucks. They have learned advanced manufacturing technology and on-site management, introduced advanced equipment, and built an advanced industrial chain from raw materials, components, assemblies, to complete vehicles. Qingling Isuzu has become a high-end brand in China's commercial vehicle industry, igniting a wave of "ringing bells" in the domestic light truck market and promoting the technological progress and development of China's commercial vehicle industry,
In the past decade, the "New Four Modernizations" have accelerated technological transformation and industrial transformation in the automotive industry, and new energy vehicles have driven the transformation of China's automotive industry from being a follower and a leader. In this context, on the one hand, Qingling continues to consolidate its competitive advantage in fuel vehicles with Isuzu, and on the other hand, accelerates the development of intelligent connected new energy vehicles, accumulates development resources through "four chain integration", builds an industrial chain ecology, and promotes enterprise transformation and development.
In 2017, Qingling launched its first new energy light truck. In 2019, IV1 connected vehicles were launched and put into use. In 2020, Bosch Hydrogen Power was established as a joint venture with Bosch in Germany to develop hydrogen fuel vehicles and electric drive axle industries. It was awarded the annual case of CCTV Finance Investment in China. In 2023, Qingling independently developed a new generation of wire controlled chassis electric light truck EVM600, which won the first place in the all-around and five individual categories at the 8th China Electric Vehicle Competition. In 2025, we will jointly develop the new Lingkun pure electric light truck with CATL and the Lingjie super charging heavy-duty truck with Huawei. These trucks have six competitive advantages, including fast energy replenishment, low wind resistance, light weight, high efficiency, intelligence, and low cost, and have received widespread attention in the industry.
From technology introduction to independent research and development - Qingling Group adheres to innovation driven development, laying out four technological routes of oil, electricity, and hydrogen hybrid, creating a dual brand product lineup of Qingling and Isuzu, building a complete industrial chain, and achieving a magnificent transformation from following to leading, always representing a high-end brand in China's commercial vehicle field.
