Explore our premium selection of heavy-duty cargo solutions, smart MPVs, and next-generation SUVs engineered by China's leading manufacturing group.
Established as a crucial pillar of China's automotive industry, Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor Co., Ltd. represents the peak of manufacturing expertise, engineering innovation, and global supply chain resilience. As a national large-scale enterprise, the corporation is structured under Liuzhou Industrial Holdings Corporation and Dongfeng Auto Corporation, creating a synergistic bridge of technology sharing and manufacturing resources.
Our state-of-the-art manufacturing campus spans over 2.13 million square meters, utilizing industry 4.0 automation. We manage two distinct, world-renowned vehicle brands: "Dongfeng Chenglong" for commercial heavy-duty trucks and transportation solutions, and "Dongfeng Forthing" (often searched as Forting) for high-performance passenger vehicles and SUVs.
With a committed global workforce exceeding 7,000 specialists, our marketing and service networks cover over 170 countries. Our international expansion strategy centers on engineering vehicles tailored to specific regional conditions, ensuring high reliability for fleet operators and drivers worldwide.
Our strategic location in Liuzhou, Guangxi—the largest industrial automotive hub in Southern China—provides a major competitive advantage. Liuzhou is the only Chinese city hosting vehicle production bases for four major domestic automotive groups. This concentration has fostered a highly integrated ecosystem of raw material suppliers, component specialists, and expert technicians.
This local cluster optimizes lead times, reduces transport costs for core components, and allows us to pass these savings directly to our B2B partners. Additionally, Liuzhou's direct logistics corridors connect southwest China to major international shipping lanes via sea ports and cross-border rail links, facilitating efficient global distribution.
We maintain end-to-end design and engineering control, developing vehicle-level platforms, electrical architectures, and alternative fuel drivetrains in-house. Our product development is driven by an Integrated Product Development (IPD) framework, which coordinates research, design, component validation, and production planning.
This parallel engineering method aligns every stage of the R&D process, ensuring high build quality, reducing validation cycles, and allowing us to incorporate customer feedback quickly. Our engineering teams utilize advanced CAD/CAE tools, crash simulation models, and wind-tunnel testing to meet strict international standards.
Equipped with modeling resources to simultaneously manage up to 4 complete, class-A styling and package design projects.
7 specialized testing facilities covering 86.75% of vehicle validation needs, including structural durability, acoustics, and climate simulation.
5 national and provincial R&D platforms holding multiple invention patents, helping shape national automotive standards in China.
B2B fleet buyers, logistics providers, and heavy industries face strict procurement challenges. Maximizing ROI requires balancing initial capital expenditure (CAPEX) with long-term operational efficiency. Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor addresses these issues directly with specialized solutions designed for international procurement managers:
Our Chenglong heavy trucks use fuel-efficient engine maps and aerodynamic profiles to lower diesel consumption by up to 8% compared to standard configurations. In addition, our electric platforms—such as the Forthing FRIDAY EV SUV and the L2EV light truck—help operators reduce fleet operating costs.
Modern logistics relies on data. Our export-ready commercial trucks feature integrated telematics architectures, allowing operators to monitor vehicle health, fuel consumption, driver behavior, and routing in real time via API feeds to enterprise systems.
From our mixer trucks to dump trucks, our chassis frames are built from high-tensile steel alloys pressed by a 6,300-ton hydraulic stamping press. This structural durability prevents deformation and chassis fatigue under demanding operating conditions.
Providing custom, end-to-end industrial solutions for international assembly and localization initiatives.
Fully integrated production line covering precision stamping, automated robotic welding, anti-corrosive painting, and final testing.
Experienced engineering teams design custom packaging and assembly kits, allowing partners to establish localized assembly plants with minimal tooling cost.
Industrial IoT platforms link welding robotics and autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs) to track assembly metrics in real time.
We provide complete support, including site design, technical training, tooling templates, and on-site support by experienced engineers.
Exporting passenger and commercial vehicles requires strict compliance with international safety, emissions, and quality standards. Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor maintains an active compliance program to ensure all vehicles meet the necessary regulations for our global markets:
Below are our verified manufacturing, environmental, and regional compliance certifications, confirming our adherence to international quality and safety standards.
How Dongfeng Liuzhou's vehicles solve real-world logistical, commercial, and personal challenges across diverse global environments.
For modern families and business transport, the Forthing LINGZHI Plus MPV offers a highly flexible cabin layout, quiet ride, and generous cargo capacity, making it a popular choice for shuttle fleets and family travel.
Our heavy-duty Chenglong H7 Refrigerator and Tractor Trucks are designed for long-distance transport, featuring modern temperature-control insulation and heavy duty chassis configurations to secure perishable goods.
For countries transitioning to low-emission transport, the Forthing FRIDAY EV SUV and the L2EV Light Truck provide emission-free travel, long battery ranges, and low maintenance requirements for fleets and private owners.
The automotive industry is undergoing a major shift toward electrification and intelligent driving. Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor is responding to these changes through our comprehensive "Guanghe Future" strategy, aiming to reduce carbon footprint while enhancing fleet performance and connectivity.
Under the "Guanghe Future" plan, Dongfeng Forthing is continuously updating its product lineup to offer electrified alternatives. This focus on research and development includes dedicated EV platforms, high-efficiency hybrid powertrains, and integrated battery management systems.
We are integrating Level 2+ Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) across our passenger vehicle lineup, including the Forthing T5 EVO, while developing Level 4 autonomous vehicle solutions for closed commercial sites and industrial parks.
