Dongfeng
The African continent is rapidly emerging as the next significant growth engine for the global automotive industry. With a burgeoning middle class, accelerating urbanization, and massive infrastructure developments under initiatives like the Belt and Road, the demand for reliable, cost-effective, and high-performance vehicles has never been higher. As a China Top Africa Cars Manufacturer & Supplier, Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor Co., Ltd. is at the forefront of this industrial shift, bridging the gap between advanced Chinese manufacturing and the unique logistical needs of African nations.
Current global business trends indicate that Africa is moving away from being a destination for second-hand imports toward establishing localized assembly hubs. This transition requires manufacturers who not only export but also provide deep technical expertise, spare parts security, and localized engineering. Our presence in over 170 countries, with a heavy emphasis on African growth markets, positions us as a critical partner for governments, logistics firms, and individual consumers across the continent.
Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor Co., Ltd. as one of the national large scale enterprises, is an auto limited company built by Liuzhou Industrial Holdings Corporation and Dongfeng Auto Corporation. It covers an area of 2.13 million square meters and has developed the commercial vehicle brand “Dongfeng Chenglong” and the passenger vehicle brand “Dongfeng Forthing” with over 7,000 employees currently.
Its marketing and service network is through out the whole country. A large number of products have been exported to more than 170 countries in Asia, the Middle East, South America, Africa and Europe. By the chances of our overseas marketing developing, we’re warmly welcome our potential partners from all over the world to visit us.
Global procurement needs are shifting toward Electric Vehicles (EVs) to combat rising fuel costs and environmental concerns. Our H5EV and H7EV series are designed to provide zero-emission solutions for urban logistics and long-haul transport in Africa.
Modern enterprises demand localized assembly (CKD/SKD) to reduce tariffs. We offer complete KD factory planning and assembly guidance, enabling African partners to build their local industrial capabilities.
Logistics companies now prioritize vehicles with integrated IoT and telematics. Our Forthing T5 series and heavy-duty trucks feature intelligent driver support technologies for enhanced safety and efficiency.

The 6X4 H7 Tractor Trucks and M3 Dump Trucks are engineered for heavy-duty earthmoving and resource transport, capable of handling the rugged terrains and extreme temperatures found in Central and Southern Africa.
