On September 17, 2025, the 22nd China-ASEAN Expo opened in Nanning. Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor Co., Ltd (DFLZM) participated in the exhibition with two major brands, Chenglong and Dongfeng Forthing, with a booth area of 400 square meters. This exhibition is not only a continuation of Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor’s in-depth participation in ASEAN economic and trade exchanges for many years, but also an important measure for enterprises to actively respond to China-ASEAN cooperation initiatives and accelerate the strategic layout of regional markets.
On the first day of the launch, leaders of the autonomous region and Liuzhou City visited the booth for guidance. Zhan Xin, deputy general manager of DFLZM, reported on ASEAN market expansion, product technology and future planning.
As one of the large car companies closest to ASEAN, DFLZM has been deeply involved in this market for more than 30 years since it exported the first batch of trucks to Vietnam in 1992. The commercial vehicle brand “Chenglong” covers 8 countries including Vietnam and Laos, and is suitable for the left-hand drive and right-hand drive markets. In Vietnam, Chenglong has a market share of over 35%, and the segmentation of medium trucks reaches 70%. It will export 6,900 units in 2024; Long-term leader in the Chinese truck market in Laos. Passenger cars “Dongfeng Forthing” have entered Cambodia, the Philippines and other places, forming an export pattern of “simultaneous development of business and passenger cars”.
At this year’s East Expo, DFLZM exhibited 7 main models. Commercial vehicles include Chenglong Yiwei 5 tractor, H7 Pro truck and L2EV right-hand drive version; Passenger cars V9, S7, Lingzhi New Energy and Friday right-hand drive models to demonstrate the achievements of electrification and intelligence and their response to ASEAN needs.
As a new generation of new energy heavy trucks, the Chenglong Yiwei 5 tractor has the advantages of lightweight, low energy consumption and high safety. The modular chassis has a weight reduction of 300 kilograms, is equipped with a 400.61 kWh battery, supports dual-gun fast charging, can be charged to 80% in 60 minutes, consumes 1.1 kilowatt-hours of power per kilometer. The cab and intelligent safety system meet the needs of long-distance logistics.
V9 is the only medium-to-large plug-in hybrid MPV. It has a CLTC pure electric range of 200 kilometers, a comprehensive range of 1,300 kilometers, and a feed fuel consumption of 5.27 liters. It has high room availability rate, comfortable seats, L2 + intelligent driving and battery safety system to achieve “fuel price and high-end experience”.
In the future, DFLZM will strengthen Dongfeng Group’s positioning as a “Southeast Asia Export Base” and strive to sell 55,000 units annually in ASEAN. Launched technologies such as GCMA architecture, 1000V ultra-high voltage platform and “Tianyuan Smart Driving”, and launched 7 new energy vehicles, including 4 right-hand drive special vehicles. By establishing KD factories in Vietnam, Cambodia and other four countries, with a total production capacity of 30,000 units, we will take advantage of tariff advantages to radiate ASEAN, further reduce costs and improve market response speed.
Relying on product innovation, internationalization strategy and local cooperation, DFLZM is realizing the transformation from “Global Expansion” to “Local Integration”, helping the regional automobile industry to upgrade its low-carbon and digital intelligence.
