SAIC owns 51 per cent of SsangYong, and has evidently transferred SsangYong designs to SHAC. The Istana is an old SsangYong model which was also sold by Mercedes-Benz in some countries. The two trucks Martin posted appear to be SsangYong models based on Mercedes designs (at least, that's where the cabs come from). Another Chinese manufacturer, North-Benz, makes trucks based on the same original Mercedes-Benz models.

Yes Gag, Ssangyong sold its truck manufacturing factory in China to SHAC back in 2001, and in 2003 granted SHAC exclusive rights for the local production and sale of the Istana from 2004 to 2010.
Ssangyong's tie-up with Mercedes dates back to the 1980s.
