In the contemporary industrial landscape, the term "small car" has evolved beyond mere dimensions. Today, it represents a synthesis of urban efficiency, intelligent design, and sustainable energy. As leading small car manufacturers based in China, we are witnessing a paradigm shift where the global market demands vehicles that are compact enough for crowded megacities yet powerful and smart enough for long-distance travel and professional business use.
The global status of the small car industry is currently characterized by a rapid transition toward electrification. From the bustling streets of Southeast Asia to the sophisticated urban centers of Europe, there is an increasing demand for "New Energy Vehicles" (NEVs) that offer low operating costs without compromising on luxury or technology. Chinese factories, particularly those with the scale of Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor Co., Ltd., have become the epicenter of this revolution, providing the world with highly competitive MPVs, SUVs, and compact commercial solutions.
The "Five Modernizations" – Electrification, Intelligence, Connectivity, Sharing, and Lightweighting – are no longer future concepts; they are the current standards. Procurement managers from global enterprises are no longer just looking for a vehicle; they are looking for a mobile technology platform. This includes ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), real-time fleet management capabilities, and seamless smartphone integration. Our R&D capability ensures that every vehicle, from the Forthing T5 HEV to the luxurious S7 electric sedan, is equipped with synchronous design and development processes that meet these rigorous global standards.

Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor Co., Ltd. is one of China's national large-scale enterprises, a powerhouse built through the cooperation of Liuzhou Industrial Holdings Corporation and Dongfeng Auto Corporation. Spanning over 2.13 million square meters, we have cultivated two prestigious brands: "Dongfeng Chenglong" for commercial reliability and "Dongfeng Forthing" for passenger excellence.
Located in Liuzhou, the only city in China housing vehicle production bases for the four major automobile groups, we operate in a unique industrial ecosystem. Our Passenger Vehicle (PV) base alone is capable of producing 400,000 vehicles and 100,000 engines annually, ensuring we can meet the high-volume procurement needs of global distributors.
Utilizing the IPD (Integrated Product Development) process, we achieve design, development, and verification simultaneously, shortening cycles and ensuring world-class quality for every model.
With 7 specialized laboratories and an 86.75% vehicle test coverage rate, our vehicles are built to withstand diverse global climates and terrains.
Our mature KD (Knock-Down) capability allows us to support SKD and CKD projects worldwide, facilitating local assembly and reducing import tariffs for our international partners.
Understanding the application scenarios of our vehicles is key to our success. For instance, the Forthing LINGZHI Plus and UTour M4 are designed for the "dual-use" market. In regions like the Middle East and South America, these 7-seater MPVs serve as luxury family transporters during the weekend and professional business shuttles during the week.
In the European market, the demand for sustainable urban logistics has made our electric trucks and SUVs, like the Forthing FRIDAY EV, highly sought after. These vehicles meet stringent emission standards while providing the range and fast-charging capabilities required for modern commercial operations. For global procurement officers, our advantage lies not just in the hardware, but in our "Guanghe Future" plan—a comprehensive ecosystem that includes service upgrades, brand rejuvenation, and long-term technical support.
"Chenglong is characterized by high reliability, high quality, and high appearance. We are shifting from product-focused to emotion, experience, and technology-focused services."
"By 2024, our new models will be 100% electrified. Dongfeng Forthing is an important practitioner of independent brand development and intelligent driving leaps."
