Changchun's New Major Landmark: China FAW Museum Opens Next Week
This July, Changchun, the cradle of China's automobile industry, embarks on a new journey! The former tool workshop of the First Automobile Works (FAW), first built in 1953, is undergoing a renovation, and the China FAW Museum is set to open soon.
In recent days, the exhibition installation has been progressing at full speed. According to the latest update, the much-anticipated Hongqi "Tiannian 1" flying car has been placed on display. All 48 classic vehicles in the "Onward for Innovation" exhibition area and the "Joint Venture Benchmark" exhibition area have been fully showcased.
The Hongqi "Tiannian 1" is a highlight of the museum's technological showcase. Featuring four seats and dual rows, it has a maximum load of 320 kg and a range of over 200 kilometers on a full charge. Powered by electric vertical take-off and landing technology, it requires no runway. The vehicle features China's first decision support system for aviation safety, integrated with low-altitude microscale sensing technology. It showcases China FAW Group's cutting-edge technological capabilities in air-ground integrated smart mobility and the low-altitude economy, as well as its breakthroughs in key core technologies and their practical application, offering visitors a close-up look at the future of mobility.
The "Onward for Innovation" exhibition area provides a comprehensive review of the Bestune brand's 20-year independent development. It features a curated collection of milestone vehicle models, powered by fuel or new energy, including the Bestune B70, Bestune T77, and Bestune Pony.
The "Together for Excellence" exhibition area is divided into three brand sections: Volkswagen, Audi, and Jetta. It presents a panoramic view of FAW-Volkswagen's decades-long development in China's joint venture auto sector. Ranging from classic fuel-powered vehicles to all-new electric products, the exhibition area chronicles the enterprise's breakthroughs in complete vehicle manufacturing, parts localization, and intelligent electric transformation.
The "Craftsmanship for the Future" exhibition area presents a complete vehicle lineup spanning multiple technology pathways, along with a lean culture space. This area conveys FAW Toyota's commitment to "making ever-better cars," its customer-first business philosophy, its unwavering pursuit of excellence, and its long-term dedication to the Chinese market.
The museum's overall interior decoration, lighting commissioning, and the installation of the guide system are now in the final stages. The museum is scheduled to open to the public on July 14.
