Hafei Motor Co., Ltd was a Chinese automobile brand headquartered in Harbin. It was a subsidiary of Changan, and it manufactured sedans, small trucks, and vans for commercial use. It was founded in 1980 and was owned by the Aviation Industry Corporation of China.[2]

The first Hafei products were Suzuki Carry-based microvans and trucks sold under the Songhuajing brand, named after the Songhua River. [3] The company exported its vehicles to 40 countries. In 2009, Chang'an Automobile Group bought most of Hafei's assets after being prompted by a Chinese State policy that aimed at consolidating the domestic automotive industry.
