The truck is empty, likely delivered its load. FAW-VW has factories in Changchin, Chengdu, and in Guangzhou, none of them near to Xiamen.

Jos had to use his panoramic mode to get the entire truck into view! Brilliant photo. The truck isn’t very wide but it has two floors, so I guesstimate it can take about 15 cars. Impressive! But what if it would have a go with minivans? Would it brake the record? Likely so, likely so…
