Dongfeng Automobile Co. Ltd. (DFAC) has announced that the 3,000,000th DFCV Light Truck rolled off the assembly line in Xiangyang production base, Hubei province on January 8, 2019. It was a new milestone for the truck maker since its first light truck was produced at its Xiangyang base in 1999.

In 2018, DFAC reported an annual sales of 100,000 units of light trucks, an increase of 9 percent from the previous year. It’s been four years since DFAC exceeded 100,000 units in light truck sales, maintaining its position as the best-selling Chinese auto brand for light trucks.

Established on July 15, 1999, DFAC is a Chinese automobile company based in Xiangyang, Hubei province. So far in 2018, DFAC light truck sales has grown from less than 20,000 units to 600,000, one million, two million and to the current three million units in less than a decade.

Dongfeng Tuyi light truck, which was launched in just 2018, has set a new record with 7,000 units sold this year, according to DFAC. It also has been highly recognized by many for its great performance, comfort and flexible operation.

A major breakthrough has been made in several key special vehicle segments including sanitation vehicle, tow truck, refrigerator truck, recreational vehicle and dangerous goods transport vehicles. The company sold over 28,000 units of special vehicles last year, up 55 percent year-on-year, allowing it to retain the title as the No. 1 truck maker in the domestic light commercial vehicle refitting industry.

Through the years, DFAC’s continued efforts also have helped its success in new energy vehicles. A product structure consisting of both passenger car and commercial vehicles has been formed. In initial period, it has only Dongfeng Tianyi pure electric buses, while now the products series has been expanded to include Dongfeng Yufeng A100 bus, Dongfeng logistics minivan, Donfeng Junfeng ER30 electric sedan, E11k passenger car and Dongfeng Captain van.
