From 1936 on, small Dodge trucks were assembled in Tianjin.

The Dodges were put into crates in the USA and sent to China.

There the trucks were assembled.

The factory was called “The Frazar Assembly Plant“. The owner was the E.W. Frazar & Company (Tianjin Gongmao Yanghang).

The truck which was assembled, was the Dodge (道奇 卡车) 1.25 ton truck, either as a single chassis, a chassis+cab, or as a pickup, or as a bus.


I have no information about production figures.
Other Dodge trucks of the same model (but bigger) were delivered to China via the land lease during the 2nd World War and also to the Guomindang after war (including some of the WK-series, or the T203 and the T234).

And of course the Dodge T234, as we have described earlier.
