Fuxing (China) - AllCarIndex

Fuxing was a Chinese automotive brand that operated from 1994 to 1998. It was associated with several manufacturing entities, including Xinhua Industrial Corporation in Shenzhen, the Beifan Vehicle Research Institute in Beijing, and Qinchuan Machinery Works in Xi'an. The brand focused on producing small vehicles, primarily targeting the domestic market.

The first prototype developed under the Fuxing brand was the Firing C987, a two-door, four-seater minicar powered by a 700cc engine. This prototype marked the beginning of Fuxing's foray into the automotive industry. In 1995, the Beifan Xiao Fuxing QCJ7085 emerged as the most significant model in the brand's lineup. This five-door, four-seater car was designed by Hong Kong designer Kak Lee and utilized the platform of the Suzuki Alto, featuring an 800cc engine and gearbox.

The design of the Fuxing vehicles drew inspiration from cultural symbols, with the Fuxing's aesthetic being influenced by the shape of a fish, which represents wealth in Chinese culture. Despite its brief existence, Fuxing contributed to the early development of the Chinese automotive sector during the 1990s.
