“The four headquarters of PLA conduct a bid every five years with last one held in 2012. As the new measure is implemented, the bid will be subject to change according to real needs of the army. Normally JAC, Jinbei, FAW and Foton will apply for the bid. Chinese brand vehicles purchased by PLA is increasing.
