Brand History

Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor Co., Ltd., formerly known as "Liuzhou Agricultural Machinery Factory" (referred to as Liunong), was founded in 1954

The Guangxi Reform Commission held a production meeting and proposed that Guangxi should produce Motors. Liunong and Liuzhou Machinery Factory jointly formed an Motor inspection team to inspect inside and outside the area and select vehicle models. After analysis and comparison, it was decided to trial produce the CS130 2.5t truck. On April 2, 1969, Liunong successfully produced his first car. By September, a small batch of 10 cars had been produced as a tribute to the 20th anniversary of the National Day, marking the beginning of the history of Guangxi's automotive industry.
