FAW, in a statement, said it had signed a deal to buy the stake but did not disclose financial details.
The investment will not have a significant impact on FAW’s earnings. Mobike, whose backers include Tencent and Sequoia, has 100 million users and supports roughly 25 million rides a day.
Its top competitor, ofo, raised 450 million US dollars in May last year from a range of investors, including Chinese ride-sharing service Didi Chuxing.
