FAW used to manufacture a wide range of vehicles to cater to all transportation needs, including passenger cars. The Al-Haj group had introduced FAW's heavy-duty trucks as completely built-up units (CBUs) initially. The response from transporters was positive, so the range of trucks was expanded to meet the needs of all cargo segments, including medium and light-duty commercial vehicles. [5]
