This looks a lot like a MAN cab. Perhaps a license agreement or may be just a rather good compliment?

China National Heavy Truck Co. has a cooperation with MAN. Decades earlier in the two parties' cooperation agreement, MAN sold the TGA truck and the license to manufacture it to CNHTC, who made this Sinotruk brand for the MAN-based trucks, and MAN holds some shares of Sinotruk as well.

Thanks for this information! It is also a very popular fire truck chassis and cab in both Germany and numerous European export markets. This is the shorter six seat version, but a longer nine seat cab is offered for German ( and other ) volunteers who can reach higher levels of responding staff.

MAN chassis is also very popular here. In big cities, MAN trucks are mostly used as foam tenders or water tankers, while ladders, aerial platforms and water towers are usually mounted on Volvo, Benz and Scania trucks. But now many trucks are Chinese brands like Sinotruk and HOWO, both the products of CNHTC using foreign technologies, as well as locally made Isuzu. They are much cheaper but still get widely used in rural areas and suburbs.
