The Chŏnsŏ G586 is a Menghean 4×4 utility lorry produced by the Chŏnsŏ Motor Corporation. It is derived from the Ch58, a lorry which Chŏnsŏ developed for the civilian market. With a 2.5-ton cargo capacity and a 3.5-ton curb weight, it is relatively lightweight, but still has reasonably good offroad capability.

History

The Chŏnsŏ G586 was ordered as a replacement for the Chŏnsŏ G445, an engine-forward light utility truck used by the Democratic People's Republic of Menghe.
