Dongfeng
Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor Co., Ltd. (DFLZM) stands as a prominent pillar in the global automotive industry. As a national large-scale enterprise, we operate under the joint stewardship of Liuzhou Industrial Holdings Corporation and Dongfeng Auto Corporation.
Spanning a state-of-the-art facility over 2.13 million square meters, our company designs, manufactures, and exports dual powerhouse brands: Dongfeng Chenglong (specializing in premium commercial vehicles) and Dongfeng Forthing (focusing on high-performance passenger vehicles, including luxury sedans, electric SUVs, and hybrid MPVs).
With a dedicated workforce exceeding 7,000 global staff and advanced manufacturing platforms, we export our robust lineup to over 170 countries and regions across Asia, the Middle East, South America, Africa, and Europe. Today, we stand as a premier Sedan Supplier and commercial fleet partner ready to support the high-growth Chittagong market.
DFLZM is situated in Liuzhou, Guangxi, the only city in China boasting comprehensive vehicle production bases of the nation's four major automobile groups. This localization provides us with an unparalleled supply chain, robust raw material reserves, and instant logistics support.
This concentrated production structure translates into dynamic cost efficiencies and direct shipping access from Liuzhou to Chittagong Port, keeping transit times minimal and pricing highly competitive.
Bangladesh's rapid GDP growth has propelled Chittagong (Chattogram) into a vital logistics and urban hub. As the country's primary seaport gateway handling over 90% of imports and exports, Chittagong requires a structural shift in its transportation ecosystem. High-performance passenger vehicles and heavy duty transport are critical to supporting its burgeoning trade, industrial zones, and expanding middle class.
In the past, the passenger vehicle market in Chittagong relied heavily on reconditioned internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. However, rising fuel costs, government policies promoting sustainable energy, and tax structures favoring clean technologies have shifted local demand. Modern sedans, such as the Dongfeng Forthing S7 Luxury Electric Sedan, offer 540km ranges that cater to:
Sourcing passenger vehicles and commercial fleets directly from China’s leading factories yields distinct strategic advantages:
Cost Efficiency and Automation: By leveraging fully automated production lines, Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor reduces manufacturing margins, offering high-end features (such as Level 2+ ADAS, intelligent cockpits, and fast-charging batteries) at a fraction of the cost of traditional imports.
Right-Hand Drive (RHD) Optimization: We deliver factory-direct RHD models, configured to match Bangladesh's road regulations. Importers avoid aftermarket conversion risks, ensuring safety and compliance.
Customized Climate Packages: Chittagong's humid, tropical climate and coastal air present corrosion risks. Our export models utilize specialized electrophoretic coating processes and advanced anti-rust technologies, ensuring structural integrity in maritime climates.
Beyond passenger sedans, our industrial fleet solutions address the entire cargo chain. The Dhaka-Chittagong corridor is the economic lifeline of Bangladesh. Heavy duty applications like the Chenglong H7 Logistics Tractors and M3 Mixer Trucks support:
For long-term partners seeking structural collaboration, DFLZM offers comprehensive Semi-Knocked Down (SKD) and Completely Knocked Down (CKD) assembly configurations. With a capacity of 30,000 KD units annually, we support:
Through our Integrated Product Development (IPD) process, we achieve synchronous design, development, and validation, optimizing cycles to ensure that every vehicle meets rigorous global standards.
Our design centers handle full-cycle modeling, system-level design, and platform integrations for up to 4 parallel A-level projects simultaneously.
