Since 1960, when TH Yellow River JN 150 and JN 252 series military vehicles equipped the first generation of Chinese heavy military vehicles, Sinotruk has been integrated with the development and expansion of China’s national defense cause. The first generation of heavy equipment 252 off-road vehicle developed by Sinotruk is the first batch of medium-sized off-road vehicles designed with all domestic materials, filling the gap in China’s military industry that can not produce medium-sized military off-road vehicles. In July 1978, the Yellow River JN 252 cross-country vehicle won the National Science Conference award.
