Group Import and Export Corporation (FAWIE), the international sales division
of FAW Group, plans to export over 20,000 vehicles to Russia within the next two
years, including city buses, tourist coaches, and commercial light, medium, heavy

established overseas production facilities in Pakistan, South Africa, Tanzania,
Ukraine, and Vietnam, and will soon add Russia to the list. Overall, FAWIE exported
14,256 vehicles in 2006, a 63 percent jump over the previous year, with sales
