In the latter half of the 2000s, the company sought access to the US market with the help of US company Capital Corp, and it participated in the 2007 National Automobile Dealers Association convention.

During the 2011 Libyan civil war, a lot of 6,000 ZX Auto Grand Tiger pick-up trucks found their way into rebel hands, who turned them into technicals replete with mounted guns. As the conflict progressed, pro-Qaddafi forces also began using pick-ups after NATO aerial bombing raids disabled their armoured vehicles. Some of the ZX Auto Grand Tigers used in this conflict may have been branded as Tayo Auto Grandhiland. When the civil war commenced, there were at least 15,000 ZX Auto pick-ups in the country.
Some sales are to the Chinese State.
