Jiefang J5P

The Jiefang J5P is a range of heavy trucks built by the Jiefang commercial vehicle division of FAW in China and introduced in late 2004. It is offered as heavy tractors, rigid trucks and vocational trucks, and its modular construction, which includes a diverse range of frames and suspensions to match customer requirements, made it the backbone of the long haul and vocational markets in China. Below it in the same family sits the J5M series, a regional heavy truck range that FAW positions as a cost effective alternative for regional hauling and vocational work. The J5P was in production well before the later J6P flagship, which Jiefang launched in 2007 as its premium long distance heavy tractor.
