Dongfeng
As a leading SUV supplier and factory partner, we recognize that France represents one of the most sophisticated automotive markets in Europe. The French appetite for SUVs has grown exponentially, now accounting for nearly 45% of new car registrations. From the bustling streets of Paris to the rugged terrains of the French Alps, the demand for versatile, safe, and eco-friendly vehicles is at an all-time high.
France is currently undergoing a massive "Green Transition." With the implementation of ZFE (Zones à Faibles Émissions) in major cities like Marseille, Bordeaux, and Strasbourg, the role of Electric SUV factories has become critical. Our manufacturing processes align with the stringent European environmental standards, ensuring that every vehicle—whether it's the FRIDAY EV or the T5 HEV—meets the high expectations of French corporate fleets and private buyers alike.
The French automotive industry is concentrated in regions like Hauts-de-France and Grand Est. By positioning ourselves as a primary supplier, we integrate into this complex ecosystem, providing high-tech components and complete vehicle assemblies (CKD/SKD) that support local distributors. Our factory's capability of producing 400,000 passenger vehicles annually ensures a stable supply chain for French partners looking for reliability and scale.
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.
Our marketing and service network is throughout the whole country. A large number of products have been exported to more than 170 countries, with a significant footprint in Europe. By the chances of our overseas marketing development, we’re warmly welcome our potential French partners to visit our state-of-the-art facilities.
We are capable of designing and developing vehicle-level platforms and systems. Our IPD product integrated development process ensures quality and shortens cycles. With 7 specialized laboratories and an 86.75% vehicle test coverage rate, our technology is road-ready for France's diverse climates.
Our passenger vehicle base produces 400,000 units per year. We utilize automatic operation and digital control to make production transparent and efficient. Our stamping, welding, painting, and assembly processes meet global ISO standards.
We offer mature KD (Knock-Down) production capabilities. Our packaging design for SKD and CKD allows us to support French local assembly initiatives, reducing import costs and fostering local industrial growth.
The Forthing FRIDAY EV is designed for the modern French city. With zero emissions, it bypasses urban congestion taxes and parking restrictions, providing a silent, high-tech experience for the eco-conscious professional.
French families love the outdoors. The T5L 7-seater SUV offers the space and turbo-charged power needed for trips to the Pyrenees or the French Riviera, ensuring safety and comfort on long-distance hauls.
Our Hybrid SUV (HEV) models are the perfect balance for French enterprises looking to reduce their TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) while meeting Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) goals.
