JMC Baodian

The JMC Baodian (Chinese: 宝典) is a nameplate used for JMC entry level pickup trucks. The original Baodian pickup is based on the platform of the Isuzu Faster, also known as the Rodeo or TF, a mid-size pickup truck. JMC began manufacturing this platform through a joint venture with Isuzu in 1993. Over the years, the Baodian name was continued with updated models, and its lineage continues in some later vehicles. The JMC Yuhu, for example, is the successor to the Baodian, and for a time, a version of the Yuhu was also sold as a second-generation Baodian.
