Empowering Global Mobility with High-End Automotive Innovation, Smart Utility Vehicles, and Industrial Excellence
Explore our elite selection of high-performance passenger cars, electric logistics solutions, and robust heavy-duty trucks designed for modern commercial fleets.
Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor Co., Ltd. represents the peak of Chinese automotive engineering and manufacturing. As one of the nation's key state-level enterprises, we lead the industrial transformation in passenger and commercial transit.
Established as a strategic joint venture under Liuzhou Industrial Holdings Corporation and Dongfeng Auto Corporation, DFLZM manages two world-renowned brands: "Dongfeng Chenglong" for commercial heavy and medium-duty logistics and "Dongfeng Forthing" for modern, intelligent passenger transport systems.
Our expansive industrial complex covers an impressive footprint of 2.13 million square meters, utilizing cutting-edge automation, green manufacturing processes, and robust quality control systems. Underpinned by a highly specialized workforce of over 7,000 global employees, we drive technological leadership from Liuzhou to the rest of the world.
With an active trade infrastructure reaching more than 170 countries and regions spanning Asia, the Middle East, South America, Africa, and Europe, DFLZM welcomes international logistics companies, commercial buyers, and distributor partners to inspect our facilities and establish long-term strategic cooperation.
Our high-throughput manufacturing lines and global service infrastructure in numbers
DFLZM is situated in Liuzhou, Guangxi—a premier, heavy-industry automotive cluster in southern China.
Liuzhou stands as the only city in China hosting vehicle manufacturing bases for the country's four major automobile conglomerates. This concentration forms an incredibly dense supply-chain ecosystem where parts, systems, and specialized logistics are tightly integrated.
Our infrastructure in Liuzhou is split into two specialized manufacturing epicenters:
This dual-base setup allows us to balance product lines, leverage shared technology (such as electric drivetrains), and optimize shipping lead times using the nearby Port of Qinzhou for global maritime logistics.
Advancing the automotive frontier through systemic design, extensive validation, and smart vehicle architecture.
Our R&D processes utilize the Integrated Product Development (IPD) methodology. This framework coordinates vehicle-level platforms, electrical system architectures, and validation processes simultaneously. By aligning R&D, supply chain, manufacturing, and marketing from day one, we guarantee excellent quality and shorten development timelines for custom commercial fleets.
Capable of running the full design process—from raw concept sketching and CAD modeling to clay prototyping and aerodynamic testing—for up to four A-class platform projects simultaneously.
Supported by 7 state-level laboratories covering structural durability, NVH, vehicle safety, emissions, and new energy performance. Testing capabilities cover 86.75% of complete vehicle metrics.
Operating 5 national and provincial R&D platforms, DFLZM owns hundreds of patents, leading the development of several national standards for new energy vehicles.
Flexible industrial solutions designed for local assembly plants, high production capacity, and intelligent operations.
Our factories feature automated stamping lines, high-precision robotic welding booths, eco-friendly painting chambers, and digitalized final assembly lines. This level of automation keeps our production lines efficient and highly consistent.
Beyond built-up vehicle exports, DFLZM provides robust KD (Knocked-Down) Solutions. With an annual capacity of 30,000 KD sets, we design and support local packaging solutions (CKD and SKD) for partners worldwide.
Our manufacturing plants run on digital tracking networks that provide transparency and precision across the entire production cycle.
Analyzing our strategic approach to electrification, supply chain resiliency, and localized support for operators.
Through our "Guanghe Future" electrification strategy, Dongfeng Forthing is rapidly transforming its passenger vehicle lineup. By 2024, our new passenger vehicle models will be 100% electrified, leveraging advanced powertrain systems including battery-electric (BEV), plug-in hybrids (PHEV), and high-efficiency hybrid powertrains (HEV).
We are investing heavily in integrated electronic drive architectures, efficient thermal management systems, and smart driving aids. The Forthing V9 PHEV MPV and the H7 Electric Truck demonstrate our ability to deliver zero-emission solutions that help businesses reduce their total cost of ownership (TCO) while meeting strict environmental standards.
Global supply chain fluctuations highlight the value of our industrial base in Liuzhou. By locating core tier-one suppliers—such as battery packaging plants, electric motor builders, and casting operations—within a 50-kilometer radius, we reduce manufacturing and transport delays. This close proximity ensures steady production and predictable lead times, even when global markets are volatile.
Additionally, DFLZM uses strategic raw material buying and smart logistics platforms to manage component sourcing. This approach protects our partners from sudden price spikes and guarantees a steady supply of spare parts for international fleets.
Selling vehicles across 170 countries requires meeting diverse regulatory standards. Dongfeng Forthing models undergo strict engineering adjustments to meet regional requirements, including European WVTA certifications, Middle Eastern GCC certificates, and South American LATAM protocols. Whether adapting cooling systems for hot climates or calibrating heating systems for cold regions, our vehicles are built to perform reliably.
Our localized support network ensures prompt assistance for fleet operations. We set up parts warehouses and run regular technical training programs for local service teams, helping fleet operators minimize downtime and maintain peak operational efficiency.
