Sungri Motor Plant is a 600,000m² vehicle factory in the city of Tokchon (덕천), North Korea. It was the most capable plant of the North Korean automotive industry before being surpassed by Pyeonghwa Motors. The plant produces urban and off-road passenger cars, small, medium, and heavy cargo, as well as, haulage construction and off-road trucks and buses. All models are reported to be replicas or derivations of foreign cars. Vehicles are generally for civilian and commercial use, as government officials favour foreign imports and the armed forces have their own facilities.

In North Korea they are used to clone cars from other parts of the world. With or without permission. So you will see on a visit to the country alle falmiliar looking cars, but they are not imported, but cloned.

I will show you pictures of Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, FIAT, etc.:

In 1996 production was crippled due to the country’s economic difficulties, with approximately 150 units produced.Sungri ZR 5000 Giant Dumping Truck, Which Powered by W Shaped 4 cylinder engine En1000Hp,200 Kmph.
