In 2010, BAW became a subsidiary of Beijing Automotive Group(BAIC).

In May 2020, BAIC Group sold its stake of BAW to Qingdao Fulu Investment Holding Group, a private company specializes in producing low-speed electric vehicle. BAW was officially disengaging from BAIC Group and transitioning from a state-owned enterprise to a private enterprise. The headquarters of BAW was moved from Beijing to Qingdao, Shandong.

In April 2023, BAW was acquired by Shandong Weiqiao Pioneering Group, a private company active in the textiles and aluminium industry.

In March 2024, BAW launched the 212 brand as an independent brand focusing on off-road vehicles. With the existing BAW BJ212 now being sod as the 212 classic, and a brand new vehicle called the 212 T01.
