Humvee clone manufacturing in China

In 2002, Shenyang Aircraft Corporation (SAC) revealed its own Humvee clone known as SFQ2040 LieYing (Falcon).[2][3][4] The missile system, mounted on an SAC SFQ2040, is similar to the U.S. Army HMMWV-mounted Avenger air defense system.[5] SAC also emphasizes the low cost of its SFQ2040 with the price being one-third of the U.S.-made Humvee due to the use of aluminum in its construction.[6] A few working prototypes were made from 2002 to 2003.[6] At least 38-40 vehicles were reported to be made.[7]

Unlike the steel body EQ2050, the SAC SFQ2040 has an aluminum alloy body, making it much lighter than the former.[6] It uses a Cummins 4BTAA-92 turbodiesel engine.[6] SAC lost out to DFM, which resulted in an attempt to create a civilian version of the SFQ2040, but it never went into production.[6] Both vehicles have limited armor protection against small caliber weapons. The vehicles can be fitted with additional equipment such as air conditioning, GPS, night vision equipment, vehicle-mounted radio, electric winch, and multipurpose weapon mount.

A third Humvee clone is the XL2060L Fierce Dragon from Xiaolong Automotive Technologies Co., Ltd.[8][9] XAT publicly rolled out the vehicles from its production lines on October 2008.[10] Trials are being conducted by the PLA in remote areas such as Tibet,[11] followed by tests in the deserts of Dubai.[12]

The XL2060L was on display at the Second Beijing International Disaster Emergency Response technology and equipment exhibition.[13]

The XL2060L was influenced from the Humvee and the Unimog.[10] It uses a Steyr diesel engine and its cost ranges from US$87,000 - $146,000.[14] Production is based from the Longyan Economic Development Zone High-tech Park in Longyan City.[15] Mass production started in early 2012.[12]
