In 1975, it was renamed Sungri Motor Plant (sungri meaning victory in Korean). It is the most capable plant of the North Korean automotive industry. In 1980, the annual capacity was reported to be 20,000 units, but in 1996 it produced only 150 units. The plant produces urban and off-road passenger cars, small, medium, and heavy cargo, as well as construction and off-road trucks and buses. All models are reported to be replicas or derivations of foreign cars.
