[edit]The company includes the head office in Gaobeidian, a production and assembly line in Zhuozhou, an auto parts manufacturing facility in Qinghe, and an assembly line in Tai'an.[citation needed]
The Toyota Camry (XV10) was rebadged as the Xinkai HXK6630, where finding a joint venture was difficult in the 1990s.[3][better source needed] then in 2004, Xinkai entered into an agreement with Mercedes-Benz to assemble the Mercedes-Benz Commercial Vehicle for the Chinese market. Xinkai's original trucks are also exported, mainly to Africa and to Latin America. The Xinkai HXK1021 EB pickup truck is sold in Chile as the Autorrad Ruda. With a capacity of 200,000 vehicles per year, the production of 33,000 vehicles in 2005 and 35,000 in the following year 2006 is known.[4]
