SINOTRUK formerly known as Jinan Automobile Manufacturing Plant, was founded in 1930 and is the cradle of China's heavy-duty automobile industry.

In 1960, China produced its first heavy-duty vehicle - the Yellow River JN150 eight ton cargo truck, ending the history of China's inability to produce heavy-duty vehicles. In 2007, it successfully achieved a red chip listing on the main board in Hong Kong, becoming the first red chip stock in China's manufacturing industry to be listed, and initially establishing a platform for international development. The new generation of heavy-duty truck model, the Howo brand, which was independently developed in 2004, was born and launched to the market in 2005. It achieved a production and sales volume of over 10000 vehicles that year, setting a new record in the history of heavy-duty trucks in China at that time.

In 2013, the Shandeka series products with independent intellectual property rights were officially launched on the market, leading the development of China's heavy-duty automobile industry. In 2020, a new generation of high-end national brand "Yellow River" heavy-duty trucks will be launched globally, leading China's heavy-duty trucks towards world-class status.
