The African automotive market is undergoing a radical shift. With rapid urbanization and the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), demand for reliable, affordable, and durable transportation has never been higher. China has emerged as the premier partner, bridging the gap between high-quality engineering and cost-efficiency.
While traditional internal combustion engines (ICE) remain dominant, there is a clear trend toward HEVs (Hybrid Electric Vehicles) and EVs (Electric Vehicles) in regions with improving power infrastructure like South Africa, Kenya, and Nigeria. Our Forthing T5 HEV and FRIDAY EV series are leading this green revolution.
Global enterprises operating in Africa require heavy-duty logistics solutions. From mining in the DRC to agriculture in Ethiopia, the need for robust tractor trucks (like our Chenglong H7) and specialized equipment like mixer trucks is critical for regional economic development.
Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor Co., Ltd. as one of the national large scale enterprises, is an auto limited company built by Liuzhou Industrial Holdings Corporation and Dongfeng Auto Corporation.
It covers an area of 2.13 million square meters and has developed the commercial vehicle brand “Dongfeng Chenglong” and the passenger vehicle brand “Dongfeng Forthing” with over 7,000 employees currently.
Its marketing and service network is throughout the whole country. A large number of products have been exported to more than 170 countries in Asia, the Middle East, South America, Africa and Europe. By the chances of our overseas marketing developing, we’re warmly welcome our potential partners from all over the world to visit us.
