In 1993, Franz Neulinger was appointed by the then Austrian Steyr Company to enter the gate of China National Heavy Duty Truck. As the head of the cooperation project.

How to make Steyr's technology take root in China's land and adapt to the Chinese market to become a problem that Franz Nulin needs to solve. In order to solve the problem, he put more attention on the speed of helping China National Heavy Duty Truck digest advanced manufacturing technology. At the time, there were many bottlenecks in quality control, logistics system perfection, and cost control at the time. Therefore, he devoted more energy to communication and training with technicians and marketing personnel. Due to differences in national conditions, regions, and cultures, Chinese technical personnel cannot accurately translate Chinese vocabulary in foreign technical documents into Chinese, thus impeding product design and production. So Franz Nüringer personally collected pictures and videos and taught theories and experiences with his hands. Sometimes, in order to allow a technology to be applied comprehensively and thoroughly in the Chinese market, he worked with the staff to work overtime to discuss solutions until an effective way was found. Those who work with Franz Nüringer will have this feeling that he seems to have energy that can never be used up. Steyr technology that has enabled China National Heavy Duty Truck to gradually develop its own characteristics has become the most important part of his life.

Since then, Sinotruk's products have diversified and also rewritten the history of China's automobile “deficiency”.

He participated in the negotiation of the project and actively coordinated the cooperation between Sinotruk and German Mann.

When a reporter asked about the feelings of participating in the negotiation process, Franz Nüringer said: “On the one hand, as an outside investment environment, Jinan today has not only good infrastructure but also many opportunities. On the other hand, What is important is that through continuous innovation and development, China National Heavy Duty Truck has already had a strong international market potential.
