English: Place: Gaozeng, Congjiang County, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province

Chinese name: 北京BJ 2020 (běijīng BJ 2020) Year of launch: 1988 (1966)

The Beijing BJ 212 can be considered one of the icons of Chinese automobile production of the past. The history of the BJ 212 is an interesting one. According to a post by Erik ( www.chinesecars.net ) on China Car Forums, the Beijing BJ 212 was developed from 1963-1964 by Beijing Auto Works (BAW) and made its first public appearance at Tiananmen Square in Beijing during the start of the Cultural Revolution and was used as Mao Zedong's inspection car. The Beijing BJ 212 was probably inspired by UAZ 469, since first prototypes appeared in 1960-1961. Mass production of the UAZ only commenced in late 1972, 6-7 years after the launch of the BJ 212!

The BJ 121 and BJ 222 followed and in 1988 the four-door BJ 2020 was introduced.
