History

[edit]

Wuling microvans have been manufactured since 1982.[4] In 1986, Wuling's predecessor company, Liuzhou Automotive Industry Corporation, reached an agreement with Mitsubishi Motors to assemble the L100 type Mitsubishi Minicab.[5] This small van was sold as the Liuzhou Wuling LZ110.

The first Wuling vehicles to be exported were sent to Thailand in 1992.[4]
