The global automotive industry is undergoing a profound transformation. While electrification is the long-term goal, gas-powered vehicles (ICE, CNG, and LNG) remain the backbone of global logistics and personal transportation, especially in developing regions and heavy-duty industrial sectors. As a leading China global gas car supplier, we recognize that the demand for high-efficiency gasoline and gas-powered engines is not just about tradition, but about reliability and energy density that electric alternatives are still striving to match in long-haul applications.
In regions such as Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, infrastructure for natural gas is often more mature than electric charging networks. This has led to a surge in demand for CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) and LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) trucks and passenger vans. These vehicles offer a middle ground: significantly lower carbon emissions than traditional diesel while maintaining the range and power required for industrial-scale operations. Our factory at Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor is at the forefront of this technology, blending traditional combustion expertise with modern smart-driving systems.
Despite the rise of EVs, Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) and Gas vehicles still account for over 70% of the global commercial fleet, proving their essential role in the global supply chain.
The transition toward Euro VI and equivalent emission standards is driving demand for advanced "Gas Cars" that utilize cleaner-burning fuels like LNG for long-distance haulage.
From heavy-duty 6x4 tractor trucks to versatile MPVs, gas-powered vehicles provide the high torque and rapid refueling capabilities necessary for 24/7 industrial operations.
Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor Co., Ltd. is one of China's national large-scale enterprises, established as an auto limited company by Liuzhou Industrial Holdings Corporation and Dongfeng Auto Corporation. Spanning a massive 2.13 million square meters, we have cultivated two iconic brands: "Dongfeng Chenglong" for commercial vehicles and "Dongfeng Forthing" for passenger vehicles.
With over 7,000 employees, our impact is truly global. Our products reach over 170 countries across Asia, the Middle East, South America, Africa, and Europe. We are not just a manufacturer; we are a partner in global development, offering professional mobile transport solutions that stay close to our users' needs.
Global procurement teams are increasingly looking for "Reliability + Efficiency." In the current economic climate, fleet operators require vehicles that minimize TCO (Total Cost of Ownership). This has led to several key trends:
Our Chenglong H7 tractors are optimized for cross-border logistics in Europe and Asia, while the Forthing M5 serves as the premier choice for urban taxi fleets and corporate shuttles due to its low maintenance and high durability.
We design our gas engines to be compatible with varying fuel qualities found globally, ensuring that our partners in remote mining or construction sites face zero downtime.
DFLZM is located in Liuzhou, the largest industrial base in Guangxi. It is the only city in China with vehicle production bases for the four major automobile groups.
CV Base: 2.128M m², producing 100k heavy trucks annually.
PV Base: 1.308M m², producing 400k vehicles and 100k engines annually.
Capability of carrying out the whole process design and development of 4 A-level project modeling simultaneously.
7 specialized laboratories with a vehicle test capability coverage rate of 86.75%.
5 national R&D platforms with multiple invention patents, setting national standards for the industry.
We offer more than just finished vehicles. Our mature KD (Knock-Down) production capability allows us to partner with local manufacturers to assemble vehicles on-site, reducing import tariffs and fostering local employment.
Stamping, welding, painting, and final assembly with digital control and automatic operation for maximum efficiency.
Packaging design and execution for SKD/CKD. We provide multi-model packaging and full-process follow-up services.
From factory planning and transformation to assembly guidance, our team ensures your local production line meets global standards.
"Chenglong is characterized by high reliability, high quality, and high appearance. We are shifting from product-focus to focusing on emotions, experiences, and technology."
"By 2024, our passenger brands will be 100% electrified, but our foundation remains stable brand strength and supply chain excellence through the 'Five Modernizations'."
