The Mao-Heng was selected out of a group of promising vehicles and put into production. Over 2000 production models were manufactured in a run that lasted until 2801. When Ilsa Liao came to power she put a stop to production.[1]

The vehicle remained in service on the streets of Sian for several years, where it performed well enough for the Capellan Hussars. The last of vehicles, the infamous Patrol 13, was decommissioned in 2834. The vehicle was purchased by Duke Jian Kao, which he added it to his private collection of vehicles.[1]

In 3042, a re-designed version of the Mao-Heng was created by a group of college students. Its performance lead to the vehicle's resurrection as standard police patrol vehicle.[1]
