As an independent brand car company with new energy vehicles, traditional cars and auto parts as its main business, Huatai Motors also had unlimited scenery. Zhang Xiugen bought Shandong Rongcheng Automobile Factory from FAW Group in 2000 and later changed its name to Rongcheng Huatai Automobile Co., Ltd. since then, he began to enter the automobile industry on a large scale and open the road of self-made cars. Five years later, Huatai Motor signed an agreement with South Korean Hyundai Motor to obtain the domestic qualification of "Santa Fe". Standing on the shoulder of Hyundai Motor, Huatai Motor quickly became popular in the car circle.

From 2015 to 2016, Huatai sold 71200 and 73000 cars, respectively, and by 2017, sales rose 81.64% to 132600, according to the data. The surge in sales has given Huatai confidence.

Its four vehicle manufacturing bases in Tianjin, Shandong, Inner Mongolia and Liaoning had all stopped production, and faced hundreds of lawsuits while defaulting on employees' wages. The debt ratio is extremely high. In the domestic automobile market, it exists in name only.
