The Martin Motors Freedom Cab, or simply Martin Motors Freedom, was a medium-duty truck produced from 2009 to 2015 by the Italian car manufacturer Martin Motors. The truck was a cargo cab version of the Changhe Freedom on which the Freedom Cab is based. Martin Motors filed for bankruptcy in 2015, thereby ending the production of the Freedom Cab.
In order to gain a foothold in other areas, Martin Motors's 2009 model initiative began with the MM520 series one, a vehicle in the compact class. As a manufacturer of microcars, the company also built the Changhe Ideal 1000 under license. Furthermore, Martin Motors brought the minivan Changhe CoolCar and the self-developed Pickup Cab Freedom in order to test the commercial vehicle waters.

Styles and Major Options[]
Several options for the Freedom Cab were available. Martin Motors released these options as a trailer redo of the Freedom Cab. These variants included the Freedom Cab Mono, the Freedom Cab Duo, and the Freedom Cab Cargo.
The Freedom Cab Duo was a flatbed upgrade for the Freedom Cab. The upgrade included a tarp that covered the flatbed, as well as a roped flap that allowed the opening and closing of the trailer.
The Freedom Cab Mono was another flatbed upgrade for the Freedom Cab. The design was mostly the same, except the flatbed was barred up on the sides and a metal sheet covered the top of the trailer, instead being covered with a tarp. Acesss can be done by opening the rear hinge.
The Freedom Cargo was a rebadged Changhe Freedom People Carrier which abandoned the pickup truckbed and instead replaced it with a small trailer on most trucks, allowing more cargo space. The cargo truck was officially licensed by Changhe and BAIC.
