JMC Baodian

The JMC Baodian (Chinese: 宝典) is a nameplate used for JMC entry level pickup trucks. The original Baodian pickup is based on the platform of the Isuzu Faster, also known as the Rodeo or TF, a mid-size pickup truck. JMC began manufacturing this platform through a joint venture with Isuzu in 1993.^[1]
