BAIC Group or legally named as Beijing Automotive Industry Holding Co., Ltd. is a machine and automobile company based in Beijing, China. This holding company and state-owned enterprise holds several other companies including agricultural equipment, truck, and bus maker Foton, passenger car manufacturer Baic Motor, and SUV and military vehicle maker, BAW.
In 2014, BAIC was able to produce over 2.25 million units of their vehicles making them the fourth biggest automobile maker in China in volume and second in commercial vehicle output.
Not only that, BAIC also has partnerships with car makers like Hyundai and Mercedes Benz and produce their cars too for the Chinese market.
Since BAIC was capable of doing mass productions and is already considered as one of the most sought-after car makers in China, they have attempted to purchase struggling car makers in Europe through the years. These include Volvo, Saab, and Opel, and as well as the technologies implemented by Chrysler.
Their goal is to bring these European cars to China. They were able to purchase Saab Automobile in 2013 and got the first one on sale, the C70, or more popularly known as Senova. Using the technologies they also acquired, they entured into creating electric vehicles. They ran a trial production of 30 units in 2010.
BAIC must have huge production bases to create such massive outputs of cars. They currently have four plants in eastern China and one in the Guangzhou Baolong base in the south. They planned on building two more factories here – one in Guangdong and one in Chongqing.

Most of these are component factories.

A Modern Interpretation of Classic Off-Road Design
The BAIC BJ40 was introduced in the 2010s as a rugged off-road vehicle inspired by classic military and utility designs. Developed by Beijing Automotive Industry Corporation (BAIC), it drew heavily on decades of experience producing tough, purpose-built vehicles for domestic and government use. With its boxy proportions, exposed hinges, and removable roof panels, the BJ40 revived a traditional off-road aesthetic while adapting it for modern consumers.
From Utility Roots to Lifestyle Icon
Historically, the BJ40 represents BAIC’s shift from purely functional transport toward lifestyle-oriented off-road vehicles. Over time, it evolved with more powerful engines, improved interiors, and updated technology, broadening its appeal beyond hardcore enthusiasts. Today, the BAIC BJ40 stands as a symbol of China’s growing confidence in producing character-driven off-roaders that blend heritage, capability, and contemporary expectations.
