Sungri Motor Plant, sometimes known as Sungri Motor Complex / Sungri General Motor Enterprise,[1] is a 600,000 m2 vehicle factory in the city of Tokchon (덕천), North Korea. It was the most capable plant of the North Korean automotive industry before being surpassed by Pyeonghwa Motors. The plant produces urban and off-road passenger cars, small, medium, and heavy cargo, as well as haulage construction and off-road trucks and buses.
All models are reported to be replicas or derivations of foreign cars.[2] Vehicles are generally for civilian and commercial use, as government officials favour foreign imports and the armed forces have their own facilities.[3]
