Explore our top-tier engineering models designed for optimized payload capability, emission standard compliance, and rugged operating lifetimes.
Deep dive into market indicators, supply-chain dynamics, and structural transformations powering modern heavy fleet logistics and passenger utility.
In the modern economic matrix, the categorization of "Img Carss"—representing Industrial, Mobility, & Green Commercial Vehicles (IMG Cars)—serves as the backbone of logistics pipelines, construction infrastructures, and carbon-neutral public transport initiatives globally. As international trade scales, the transition from traditional diesel internal combustion engines to hybrid (HEV) and battery-electric vehicles (BEV) is no longer a localized choice, but a macro-economic imperative.
As a leading automotive manufacturer, Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor Co., Ltd. coordinates state-of-the-art engineering footprints to optimize freight costs per ton-kilometer. By designing vehicles engineered for extreme operational environments—spanning refrigerated freight units, sanitation deployment arrays, heavy-duty cargo haulage, and municipal electric tractors—the factory delivers scalable commercial solutions to more than 170 countries worldwide.
This industrial brief details the core indicators driving this transformation, from design and structural capabilities to comprehensive cross-border KD (Knock-Down) factory deployment systems.
Established as a central national large-scale enterprise, Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor Co., Ltd. is a joint automotive limited company built by Liuzhou Industrial Holdings Corporation and Dongfeng Auto Corporation. The enterprise manages two highly recognized brands globally:
Strategically located in Liuzhou, Guangxi, the facility has access to the region's largest industrial base. Liuzhou is uniquely positioned as the only city in China housing vehicle production bases from the country's four major automobile groups.
A look at our specialized manufacturing divisions optimized for global supply consistency.
Covers a dedicated area of 2.128 million square meters. Engineered with modern assembly and tooling to roll out 100,000 medium and heavy duty trucks annually.
Spans 1.308 million square meters, boasting high-speed robotic press lines and precision structural assembly. Capable of outputting 400,000 passenger vehicles and 100,000 powertrain engines per year.
Provides robust support for regional industrialization with 30,000 sets per year capability, covering complete SKD (Semi-Knocked Down) and CKD (Completely Knocked Down) packaging layouts.
Sustainable innovation in commercial cargo transport and passenger utility requires deeply integrated research methodologies. Our implementation of the IPD (Integrated Product Development) framework ensures simultaneous engineering verification from initial computer-aided design modeling up to physical verification testing.
Through this integrated R&D cycle, product development times are shortened by up to 25%, while structural stability, passive safety, and fuel efficiency metrics are maximized.
Applying digital control platforms and smart logistics to achieve transparency and structural excellence across our product pipeline.
High-capacity hydraulic and mechanical press lines ensure precise body panels and cabin structural pillars, minimizing micro-cracking and material fatigue.
Automated spot welding matrices guarantee uniform structural rigidity and high torsional resistance, ensuring chassis stability under max payloads.
Advanced electro-deposition coatings provide rust and corrosion resistance under extreme operating conditions, such as humid coastal areas or cold winter salting.
Fully coordinated final assembly lines with real-time torque tracking ensure engine, gearbox, and drivetrain installation conform to target tolerances.
Perspectives from our general leadership on navigating structural transformation, supply chain integration, and net-zero goals.
General Manager
Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor Co., Ltd.
"Chenglong is defined by high reliability, high quality, and striking visual execution. Our global customers are upgrading. Historically, the brand prioritized utility and base service, but tomorrow's solutions will emphasize user experiences, connectivity, and clean technology."
"Stability lies in consolidating the foundation, optimizing supply chain resilience, and delivering prompt local responses. Growth, however, lies in creative innovation. We focus closely on the 'Five Modernizations' to drive technological innovation."
Chairman
Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor Co., Ltd.
"In the global push toward electrification, Dongfeng aims at new opportunities in zero-emission transport. By 2024, our main independent passenger vehicle lines will be 100% electrified. Dongfeng Forthing is an important force in our passenger car sector."
"Through our 'Guanghe Future' electrification plan launched in 2022, we continue to deliver clean energy vehicle platform designs, brand rejuvenation, and comprehensive service upgrades to support a sustainable global trajectory."
Our path to zero-emission and highly integrated logistics solutions across international markets.
Developing dedicated chassis architectures that optimize battery placement, reduce tare weight, and maximize structural safety. Crucial models like the H5EV Heavy Truck and the Forthing FRIDAY EV SUV demonstrate our integration of electric powertrain configurations.
Implementing active collision mitigation systems, lane change assistance, tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS), and driver fatigue warnings. This improves safety profiles for passenger operations and heavy-duty, long-haul logistics fleets.
Expanding global capacity by setting up localized assembly sites. We provide complete factory layout planning, welding jig designs, testing apparatus, and on-site expert guidelines to help regional partners reduce import tariffs and establish domestic automotive jobs.
Our manufacturing processes are verified by international standards bodies, enabling seamless vehicle registration across European, South American, and Asian jurisdictions.
How our commercial trucks and passenger cars address the unique demands of global operating environments.
Refrigerated haulage requires thermal stability and power delivery. The H7 Refrigerator Truck integrates reliable thermal insulation with high-output refrigeration compressors, ensuring strict temp controls for food and medical transport across sub-zero climates.
Urban municipalities demand maneuverability, quiet operation, and reliability. Models like the M3 Sanitation Truck feature customized mechanical sweeps and water-spraying systems designed to comply with local noise regulations and narrow urban layouts.
With strict city emissions policies (e.g., Ultra Low Emission Zones), urban families require EV platforms with longer range. The Forthing FRIDAY Electric SUV and UTOUR HEV Hybrid MPV provide energy-efficient, stylish options that meet strict EU registration standards.
Key information on export logistics, product configurations, and ordering parameters for global operations.
We provide end-to-end industrial support including initial factory planning, custom packaging designs for transport protection, tooling guidance, welding and assembly documentation, and dedicated engineers to assist with localized trial production runs.
Yes, our EV line includes right-hand drive models like the Forthing FRIDAY RHD Electric SUV. We engineer steering assemblies, brake boosters, air conditioning units, and cabin trims specifically to meet regulations in RHD countries.
The H5EV uses an intelligent battery thermal management system (BTMS). In cold climates, active battery heating pre-conditions cells to keep charging speeds fast. In hot zones, high-efficiency liquid cooling circulates to prevent overheating and support cell longevity.
We provide testing certificates, emission homologation reports, frame design certifications, and complete technical specifications to help importers secure customs clearance and local road registration.
High-performance platforms designed for fleet optimization, green municipal deployment, and urban transport.
