The global automotive landscape is undergoing a paradigm shift. EV Mini Cars have transitioned from niche urban novelties to critical components of national green transport strategies. As cities worldwide implement low-emission zones, the demand for compact, efficient electric vehicles has surged by 45% annually. China currently accounts for over 60% of global production, establishing itself as the premier hub for high-quality, cost-effective EV manufacturing.
Tomorrow's EV mini cars are defined by the "Five Modernizations": Electrification, Intelligence, Connectivity, Sharing, and Lightweight construction. Integration of AI-driven driver assistance and solid-state battery technology is extending the range of mini vehicles beyond 300km, making them viable for both inner-city commuting and regional travel. Design is shifting toward "Living Space" concepts, maximizing interior volume within compact footprints.
International buyers, from fleet operators in Europe to delivery startups in Southeast Asia, are seeking more than just a vehicle. There is a growing demand for SKD/CKD (Semi/Completely Knocked Down) solutions to reduce import tariffs and foster local employment. Reliable supply chain support, competitive warranty terms, and adaptable technical specifications to meet local safety standards (like Euro NCAP or ASEAN NCAP) are now top priorities for global distributors.
As one of China's national large-scale enterprises, Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor Co., Ltd. stands as a titan in the automotive industry. Built by Liuzhou Industrial Holdings Corporation and Dongfeng Auto Corporation, we manage two prestigious brands: "Dongfeng Chenglong" for commercial vehicles and "Dongfeng Forthing" for passenger vehicles.
Our infrastructure spans 2.13 million square meters, powered by over 7,000 dedicated employees. Our reach is truly global, with products exported to more than 170 countries across Asia, the Middle East, South America, Africa, and Europe.
In congested metropolitan areas like Paris, Tokyo, or Bangkok, our EV mini cars provide the perfect solution for narrow streets and limited parking. They serve as ideal primary vehicles for daily office commutes and school runs, offering zero-emission operation and significantly lower running costs than ICE vehicles.
The e-commerce boom requires efficient delivery. Our electric MPVs and mini trucks are being deployed by logistics firms globally for quiet, efficient "last-mile" package delivery, allowing companies to operate during night hours and within strictly regulated city centers.
Resorts and green-planned communities utilize our EVs as shuttle vehicles. Their silent operation preserves the tranquility of tourist destinations, while integrated smart tech allows for easy fleet management and car-sharing integration in tech-focused neighborhoods.
We design and develop vehicle-level platforms and systems in-house. Our IPD (Integrated Product Development) process ensures synchronous design and validation, shortening the cycle from concept to market without compromising quality.
Our production facilities in Liuzhou are among the most advanced in China. We operate two distinct bases capable of producing 100k trucks and 400k passenger vehicles annually.
Located in Liuzhou, the largest industrial base in Guangxi, we benefit from a unique ecosystem where all four major Chinese automobile groups have established vehicle production bases. This synergy allows us to maintain a highly efficient and resilient supply chain.

Our expertise in combining commercial-grade durability with consumer-focused passenger vehicle innovation is unparalleled. By leveraging the vast industrial resources of Liuzhou, we ensure that every EV mini car rolling off our assembly line meets rigorous international quality standards.
The industrial status of new energy vehicles (NEVs) in China has reached a mature stage where supply chains are optimized for both speed and cost. This allows us to offer factories and distributors a significant competitive edge. Our passenger vehicle base, covering 1.308 million square meters, is capable of producing 400,000 units annually, ensuring we can scale production to meet even the largest global procurement needs. This scale does not come at the expense of precision; our automatic operations and digital control systems make our production transparent and visualized.
Innovation is the heart of our operations. With 7 specialized laboratories and a coverage rate of vehicle test capability reaching 86.75%, we are at the forefront of the EV revolution. Our R&D teams are constantly participating in the formulation of national standards, ensuring that our "Dongfeng Forthing" brand remains a professional mobile transport leader. Whether it is the sleek 540km range of the Forthing S7 luxury sedan or the versatile utility of the Forthing Friday EV, our products are engineered for the real-world demands of modern users.
For international partners, we offer flexible KD (Knocked Down) production capabilities. Our professional teams provide full-process services, from preliminary business negotiations and factory planning to assembly guidance and long-term follow-up. This "Localize-to-Succeed" approach empowers our partners in over 170 countries to build their local automotive capabilities while relying on the technological backbone of a leading Chinese manufacturer. As we move towards 2025, our commitment remains firm: to provide superior product experiences and contribute to a greener, more intelligent global transport ecosystem.
