The name Jiachuang (2009-2011) is also mentioned. It is unclear whether and how many vehicles with this brand name were produced or sold.

In the years 2005 and 2007, Weichai Torch Automobile Group Co., Ltd. , a publicly traded manufacturer of automotive parts and heavy trucks.

At the end of 2013, the Yingzhi and Enranger brands (possibly also Weichai Auto ) were introduced. The vehicles are sold under the Weichai brand on Central and South American export markets .

In 2014 the SUV Weichai Enranger G3 (or Yingzhi G3) was presented. Another model was the Weichai Enranger 737 (or Yingzhi 737) minivan , which debuted in 2015. A year later, the 737-based crossover model Weichai Enranger G5 (or Yingzhi G5) followed. In addition, the Weichai Enranger 727 (or Yingzhi 727) was also introduced in 2016 as an entry-level version of the 737.

Another cheaper version of the 737 should be offered by the commercial vehicle manufacturer Dayun Auto ; it is unclear whether this model was actually produced.
