Engineered for high-humidity coastal operations, heavy municipal loads, and intensive urban transit across Greater Surabaya and Tanjung Perak Port corridors.
The commercial transportation sector across Southeast Asia—specifically within Indonesia's booming industrial powerhouse of East Java—is undergoing a structural transformation. Driven by stringent national emission mandates (including Euro 4 and Euro 5 frameworks), rising fuel costs, and intensive infrastructure development under national strategic programs, fleet operators in Surabaya require heavy vehicles that deliver maximum thermal efficiency, robust structural integrity, and lowered total cost of ownership (TCO).
As a key economic gateway connecting Java with Eastern Indonesia, Surabaya handles immense containerized freight flows through the Tanjung Perak maritime ecosystem, extensive civil engineering builds in the Surabaya Industrial Estate Rungkut (SIER), and continuous urban expanding projects. Meeting these demands requires custom-engineered special trucks—ranging from heavy concrete mixers and multi-axle tippers to vacuum sanitation units and insulated cold-chain transport—calibrated specifically for tropical climate stressors, high humidity, and steep gradient topographies.
Operating as a premier national large-scale enterprise formed by Liuzhou Industrial Holdings Corporation and Dongfeng Auto Corporation, DFLZM integrates world-class R&D with advanced digitalized manufacturing.
Our expansive production ecosystem spans over 2.13 million square meters, nurturing two internationally recognized vehicle brands: Dongfeng Chenglong for heavy-duty commercial trucks and specialized fleet solutions, and Dongfeng Forthing for advanced passenger and multi-purpose vehicles (MPVs/SUVs).
With an established global marketing and service footprint reaching across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, South America, Africa, and Europe, our specialized vehicle division is explicitly configured to cater to large fleet operators, municipal contractors, and industrial conglomerates operating within Indonesia’s East Java corridor.

Liuzhou stands as the sole city in China hosting production facilities for the four major Chinese automotive groups. Our dedicated manufacturing bases feature exceptional throughput capacity:
Our IPD system enables synchronized design, development, and validation throughout the entire R&D cycle. This structured engineering methodology significantly reduces product development timelines while guaranteeing structural precision for specialized truck variants destined for overseas export markets like Surabaya.
Equipped to execute whole-process styling, modeling, and structural engineering across 4 major A-level vehicle platforms concurrently.
Housing 7 specialized testing laboratories with an overall vehicle test capability coverage rate of 86.75%, ensuring absolute reliability in extreme environments.
Backed by 5 national and provincial R&D platforms, holding numerous valid invention patents, and actively establishing national vehicle manufacturing standards.
Full-process digital control guarantees precision vehicle assembly, custom superstructure mounting, and seamlessly executed Knock-Down (KD) kits for Indonesian localized assembly partners.
Comprehensive automated stamping lines, robotized welding cells, cathodic electrophoresis anti-corrosion painting, and high-speed final assembly lines ensure world-class build quality.
Mature packaging design and execution capabilities for Semi-Knocked-Down (SKD) and Completely-Knocked-Down (CKD) configurations across multiple truck variants simultaneously.
Our dedicated engineering taskforce offers initial business negotiation, KD plant layout planning, assembly line transformation guidance, and ongoing local technical support.
Insights from corporate leadership on maintaining manufacturing excellence while driving innovation across overseas commercial markets.

Chairman, Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor Co., Ltd.
"In the wave of new energy vehicle development, Dongfeng Company aims at new tracks and opportunities, focusing on promoting the leap of new energy and intelligent driving. Through our 'Guanghe Future' electrification transformation plan, Chenglong and Forthing will customize new energy models, jointly exploring broader global market space with localized partners."
In alignment with East Java's green mobility goals, Dongfeng Forthing provides advanced electric sedans, hybrid MPVs, and zero-emission logistics vehicles for corporate fleets and municipal applications.
Customizing heavy-duty vehicle platforms to address specific industrial workflows, road regulations, and terrain profiles in Indonesia.
Tanjung Perak Port serves as the primary maritime hub for cargo going into Eastern Indonesia. Our 4x2 and 6x4 Chenglong tractor trucks provide high-torque power output coupled with optimized rear-axle ratios. This delivers outstanding fuel efficiency during long-haul container runs along the Trans-Java toll road network connecting Surabaya to Jakarta and Banyuwangi.
Construction expansion across the Surabaya Industrial Estate Rungkut (SIER) and Manyar (JIPPE) demands heavy-duty mixer trucks and tippers capable of continuous operation in dusty, high-heat settings. The Chenglong H5 and M3 mixer carriers feature wear-resistant alloy drums, high-pressure hydraulic discharge systems, and anti-tipping wide-track chassis frame design.
East Java is a vital source of agricultural produce and marine exports. The Chenglong H7 Refrigerator Truck line incorporates multi-temperature zonal control, thermal insulation walls, and direct-drive cooling compressor mounts to safeguard perishable goods during transport from rural farms to Surabaya export terminals.
Aligned with Surabaya’s reputation as an award-winning eco-city, our M3 Sanitation Trucks feature low-noise automated compaction systems, high-volume liquid containment tanks preventing leachate spillages, and Euro 4/5 compliant power units for urban waste management.
Our manufacturing operations strictly adhere to international automotive quality management systems, holding certifications validated across global markets.
Key considerations for fleet owners and procurement managers acquiring special trucks in Surabaya and East Java.
All special truck chassis exported to marine environments like Surabaya undergo automated cathodic electrophoresis treatment combined with high-grade polyurethane topcoats. This provides multi-year protection against salt-air oxidation around port areas.
Yes. Our commercial vehicle lineup is fully optimized with advanced Common Rail Direct Injection (CRDI) fuel systems and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) post-treatment systems, fully conforming to local Indonesian emission standards.
We provide comprehensive SKD and CKD packaging solutions backed by technical plant layout designs, assembly tooling guidance, and on-site training for localized manufacturing partners in East Java.
Through our established global logistics network and localized service partnerships, high-wear maintenance parts and electronic components are stocked locally to ensure rapid turnaround times and maximum vehicle uptime.
