History
[edit]
The LZ110 small delivery truck went into production in 1984 as the first vehicle in the history of the Chinese company Wuling, originally founded as Liuzhou Wuling Automobile in 1982.[1] In the same year, a license was purchased from the Japanese automaker Mitsubishi Motors for the production of the third generation of the Minicab model under its own brand, and a trial series was built for two years before the official market debut.[1]
The LZ110 went into production in the same range of body variants as its Japanese counterpart. They included a passenger van, a delivery van, as well as a 2-door pickup truck or a built-in chassis.[2]
In 1987, the LZ110 underwent extensive restyling, which mainly brought changes to the styling of the front part of the body.[3] The vehicle had lower headlights, as well as a characteristic red logo with a stylized letter W, which has remained the company's logo to this day. The modernization was also a period of increasing popularity of the vehicle in China.[3]
