Soviet Union lent assistance during these early years providing technical support, tooling, and production machinery. Before the first factory opened, 39 Chinese FAW employees traveled to the Stalin Truck Factory for instruction in truck production. Operations were conducted under Soviet direction, and the USSR is even credited with choosing Changchun as the location for the first FAW facility.{{Cite book

First Automotive Works initially made only commercial trucks, but started producing passenger cars in 1958. These vehicles, Hongqi luxury sedans, were the first domestically produced Chinese automobiles. Made primarily for the party elite, the design changed little over their thirty-year production run.[http://www.economist.com/specialreports/displaystory.cfm?story_id=12544893 The home team] economist.com, Nov 13th 2008 Following this, FAW's Audi products are the traditionally favoured choice for ranking Chinese state officials.[http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2009-06/13/content_11538089.htm Chinese public revved up over BMW, Benz on gov't car list] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121107064513/http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2009-06/13/content_11538089.htm |date=2012-11-07 }} xinhuanet.com, 2009-06-13

During the Third Front campaign to develop strategic industries in China's rugged interior to prepare for potential invasion from the United States or the Soviet Union, the First Automotive Works transferred a third of its workforce to develop the Second Automotive Works.{{Cite book |last=Meyskens |first=Covell F. |title=Material Contradictions in Mao's China |date=2022 |publisher=University of Washington Press |isbn=978-0-295-75085-9 |editor-last=Altehenger |editor-first=Jennifer |location=Seattle |chapter=China's Cold War Motor City |editor-last2=Ho |editor-first2=Denise Y.}}{{Rp|pages=202–204}}

In 1992, the name First Automotive Works was changed to FAW Group Corporation.

Though FAW was the fourth Chinese automaker to take on Western partners, its early joint venture with Volkswagen in 1990 saw it become the second Chinese auto company to develop a strong cooperative relationship with a foreign counterpart. SAIC was the first, in 1984 and also with VW.[http://www.economist.com/specialreports/displaystory.cfm?story_id=12544905 Theme and variations] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091120155108/http://www.economist.com/specialreports/displaystory.cfm?story_id=12544905 |date=2009-11-20 }} economist.com, Nov 13th 2008

Volkswagen was the first foreign partner for FAW, but others soon followed.
