Dongfeng
Advanced engineering solutions tailored for the Romanian automotive market.
Romania has emerged as a cornerstone of the European automotive supply chain. With major clusters in Pitești and Craiova, the country ranks among the top vehicle producers in Central and Eastern Europe. As a leading Sedan manufacturer, we recognize Romania's highly skilled workforce and its strategic location that connects the EU market with the Middle East and beyond.
The Romanian government’s "Rabla Plus" program has significantly accelerated the adoption of Electric Vehicles (EVs). Our range of electric sedans, such as the Forthing S7, aligns perfectly with Romania's vision for sustainable urban mobility, offering long-range capabilities suitable for both the bustling streets of Bucharest and long-distance travel on the expanding A1 and A3 motorways.
Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor Co., Ltd. is one of the national large-scale enterprises in China, operating as an auto limited company built by Liuzhou Industrial Holdings Corporation and Dongfeng Auto Corporation. Covering 2.13 million square meters, we have developed iconic brands such as Dongfeng Chenglong for commercial vehicles and Dongfeng Forthing for passenger vehicles.
With over 7,000 employees and a footprint in 170+ countries, we are expanding our presence in the European market, particularly in Romania, where the demand for high-quality, reliable, and technologically advanced sedans is growing rapidly.
Romanian drivers are increasingly demanding smart dashboards and 5G connectivity. Our sedans feature IPD integrated development systems that synchronize with local infrastructure and navigation preferences.
From taxi services in Cluj-Napoca to corporate leasing in Timișoara, our fuel-efficient and electric sedans offer the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO) in the Romanian market.
Safety is paramount. Our manufacturing process ensures that every sedan meets rigorous European safety certifications, providing peace of mind on Romania's diverse road terrains.
Design: 4 A-level project modeling capability.
Experiment: 7 specialized labs covering 86.75% of vehicle test needs.

Choosing the right sedan manufacturer in Romania requires a deep understanding of both local requirements and global standards. As the automotive industry shifts towards "Industry 4.0," our factory has integrated AI-driven robotics and digital twin technology to ensure every sedan produced meets the highest quality benchmarks. This is particularly vital for the Romanian market, which serves as a gateway to both Western Europe and the developing markets of the East.
While SUVs have gained popularity, the classic sedan remains a favorite in Romania for its aerodynamic efficiency and fuel economy. In cities like Bucharest, where traffic congestion is a daily challenge, the compact and mid-size sedan segments offer the perfect balance of comfort and maneuverability. Our Forthing S7 series, with its 540km range, addresses the core concern of Romanian drivers: range anxiety. By providing robust charging compatibility and intelligent energy management, we are setting new standards for electric sedans in the region.
One of our key competitive advantages is our mature KD (Knock-Down) production capability. For partners in Romania looking to establish local assembly lines, we offer full SKD (Semi-Knock Down) and CKD (Completely Knock Down) solutions. This includes factory planning, assembly guidance, and professional team support to ensure a seamless transition. This localized approach helps reduce import duties and fosters job creation within the Romanian automotive sector.
Our sedans are not just vehicles; they are mobile tech hubs. Equipped with 1.5T Turbo engines or high-capacity batteries, they feature advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) that are essential for the safety-conscious European market. The IPD product development process ensures that feedback from Romanian users—such as the need for better suspension for rural roads or advanced heating for Eastern European winters—is integrated into the design phase.
As a responsible global manufacturer, we align our operations with the EU Green Deal. Our factories utilize energy-efficient machinery and water-recycling systems in the painting process. For our Romanian clients, this means every sedan purchased contributes to a lower carbon footprint, supporting both corporate sustainability goals and national environmental targets.
