Dongfeng Motor Corporation Ltd. is a Chinese state-owned automobile manufacturer headquartered in Wuhan, Hubei. Founded in 1969,[3] it is currently the smallest of the "Big Four" state-owned car manufacturers of China with 671,000 sales in 2023, below SAIC Motor, Changan Automobile and FAW Group.[4]

The company develops and markets vehicles under its own branding, such as Fengdu, Voyah, Aeolus, Forthing, as well as under foreign-branded joint ventures such as Dongfeng Honda, Dongfeng Nissan and Dongfeng Peugeot-Citroën (all via subsidiary Dongfeng Motor Group). In 2021, foreign-branded cars took 79% of sales.[5] In addition to commercial and consumer vehicles, it also manufactures parts and cooperates with foreign companies.[citation needed]

As a state-owned enterprise of China, Dongfeng is controlled and managed by SASAC, which under Chinese law performs the functions of an investor.[6]

History

[edit]

Background and founding

[edit]
A Dongfeng Motor truck in Tibet

During the Korean war, there was a need for trucks to be used on the battlefield. The Ministry of Machinery planned a factory to build an imitation of the GAZ-51 truck. This was originally planned to be at Qingshan District, Wuhan, and later revised to Wuchang District, also in Wuhan. In 1955, these sites were disregarded as being too vulnerable to air raids, and Chengdu was chosen as the proposed site.[7] The reasoning is also mentioned in a dictate of Chairman Mao Zedong; as part of his "Third Front" strategy[8] However, due to the poor state of the economy, the plans were shelved.[7]

In 1957, Hunan was picked as the site for the proposed truck factory, as the Yangtze basin area of the province didn't have any heavy industry yet. In 1960 preparations started at the site in Shiyan, but were abruptly halted. As the Chinese economy improved, and as a result of the Sino-Soviet split, production of military trucks came into the spotlight again, and construction of the Second Automobile Works (第二汽车制造厂) was included in the third five-year plan in 1965.[7]

The company was officially founded in 1969 at a village of 100 residents, that would later grow to become Shiyan city. This remote location was chosen as its topography consisted of over 40 shallow valleys, allowing factories to be concealed, while also being on the route of the Xiangyang–Chongqing railway.[7] Due to its remote countryside location with limited equipment, the company only managed to produce 200 automobiles by 1972.[8][7]

Mass production (1975–2000)

[edit]
Dongfeng EQ240
Dongfeng EQ140

In 1975, the first EQ240 2.5-ton Dongfeng truck was produced, followed by the EQ140 5-ton model in 1978, which was also the first civilian truck by the company.[7][9] At its peak the EQ140 held a domestic market share of 66%. In 1986, Dongfeng surpassed 100,000 vehicles produced annually. In 1987, a new 3-ton model was launched.[9]

Traditionally manufacturing commercial vehicles, by 2001 these made up about 73% of Dongfeng's production.[10] By 2012, that figure had reversed, and 73% of manufactures were passenger cars.[11] However, the percentage of consumer offerings was likely lower as passenger car counts may include microvans, tiny commercial vehicles that are popular in China.

Between 1978 and 1985[12] alongside the market-based Chinese economic reforms instituted by Deng Xiaoping, Dongfeng was transformed from a manufacturer of two heavy-duty trucks[8] with fragmented operations and ownership into a single, centrally managed enterprise.[12] This process included placing all Dongfeng operations—from part manufacture to vehicle assembly—under the control of a single business entity and the merger of six truck production bases as well as a number of other companies previously controlled by provincial governments.[13] Post-1985, further reforms took place that allowed Dongfeng greater autonomy; the company was removed from the direct administrative control of the central government.[13]

By the mid-1980s, its assets had tripled from those initially given to it by the state in 1981, and management was desirous of even greater production capacity.[14] But in 1995, the company was experiencing financial difficulties as was the case with many Chinese automobile manufacturers at this time.[15] The situation was still dire in 1998 precipitating a 1999 restructuring of the company.[8]

In 1992, the company changed its name to Dongfeng, or "East Wind" in Chinese.[16]

This state owned enterprise[17] has come into conflict with authority at both the national and provincial levels.[18] Alongside First Automotive Works it saw the successful dismantling of the Automobile Corporation, a central government entity presumably tasked with preventing non-competitive business practices through dictating output volumes and curtailing purchasing as well as exasperation at the right of the State to make managerial appointments.[14]

The Chinese partner in many Sino-foreign joint venture companies, Dongfeng initiated most of these cooperative efforts with foreign firms in the early 2000s. But its first was established in 1992 with French PSA Group. Known as Dongfeng Citroën Automobile Company (DCAC), it was the forerunner to the current Dongfeng Peugeot-Citroën Automobile Limited (DPCA).[19]

2000–2010

[edit]
Dongfeng Rich

By 2003, Dongfeng had established joint ventures with Kia Motors (Dongfeng Yueda Kia, 2002[20]), Honda (Dongfeng Honda, 2003[21]), and Nissan (Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd., 2003[22]). As of 2011, it had more Sino-foreign joint ventures than any other Chinese automaker,[8] and the 2013 creation of a partnership with French Renault means it retains this title today.

In 2004, intermediate holding company of the group, Dongfeng Motor Group, became a listed company in the Hong Kong Stock Exchange; Dongfeng Yueda Kia remained in the unlisted portion of the group.

Dongfeng announced in November 2006 that they intend to sell their vehicles in Japan.[23]

In 2009, it sold 1.9 million vehicles[24] ranking second among domestic automakers[25] and third overall.[26]

2010–present

[edit]

In 2010, the company sold 2.72 million units,[27] making it the second most-productive Chinese vehicle-maker.[28] It reported 1.72 million sales of passenger vehicles that same year.[29]

2011 production figures put the company in second place, in terms of production volume, in its home market; Dongfeng produced 3.06 million vehicles that year.[30]

It was the second-largest Chinese automaker in 2012 by production volume, and Dongfeng manufactured over 2.76 million whole vehicles that year with passenger cars comprising 73% of manufacture.[11] The number of cars counted as passenger vehicles may conflate consumer offerings and tiny commercial trucks and vans known as microvans, however.

Dongfeng established its first research and development facility outside of China in October 2012 when it acquired a 70 percent stake in the Swedish engineering company T Engineering AB.[31]

In December 2013, Dongfeng and the French automaker Renault agreed to form a 50:50 joint venture, Dongfeng Renault Automotive Co Ltd., to manufacture Renault brand passenger cars for the Chinese market.[32] The two partners agreed to invest an initial 7.76 billion yuan (US$1.27 billion) in the venture, which became Dongfeng's sixth joint venture with a foreign automaker—the most of any Chinese automaker.[33]

In February 2014, loss making PSA Peugeot Citroën, a joint venture partner of Dongfeng since 1992, was recapitalized, with Dongfeng Motor Group taking a 14% stake.[34]

Dongfeng Sharing-VAN

In 2017, it was announced that Dongfeng Motor Corporation would be re-incorporated as a limited company, renaming to 东风汽车集团有限公司, which only differ from its subsidiary Dongfeng Motor Group for the word 股份) (share).[35]

In 2020, Dongfeng dissolved its ventures Dongfeng Renault, Dongfeng Yulon and withdrawn from Dongfeng Yueda Kia in 2021.

On June 12, 2020, the mass-produced version of the Dongfeng Sharing-VAN 1.0 rolled off the production line at its technical center, demonstrating Dongfeng's 5G-enabled autonomous vehicle with level 4 applications.[36]

Dongfeng Nissan

[edit]

Nissan and Dongfeng have a long-standing relationship. Early on, the Chinese company produced diesel-powered Nissan trucks built from complete knock-down kits, and Nissan lent Dongfeng technical assistance.[68] When the Chinese State began allowing foreign automakers market access through joint ventures, Nissan remained with Dongfeng.

As an example of the extensive and comprehensive nature of Nissan's technical assistance to the Chinese company, in 2011 nearly 70% of products Dongfeng manufactured were connected in some way to Nissan.[69]

A few of its Dongfeng-branded light commercial vehicles have been exported to Afghanistan, Pakistan, Africa, and the Middle East.[75]

Infiniti-branded vehicles are most probably imported as of 2006,[76] but 2013 news stories suggested that some production would be moved to China in the future.[77] Manufacture of the brand in China may have begun with the Q50L being produced at a site in Xiangyang sometime after 2014.[46]

Nissan joint venture sites

[edit]

A passenger-car production base[88] and technical center[89] in Guangzhou, Guangdong,[88] are part of both the Nissan joint venture Dongfeng Motor Co[10] and a unit of that joint venture,[83] Dongfeng Nissan Passenger Vehicle Co.[90]

Another Guangzhou production base manufactures Nissan engines.[91][92] As of 2009, a Nissan joint venture engine production base in Shiyan, Hubei province, produced diesel engines and other sites, auto parts.[57] It is possible this location has been shuttered and the tooling moved[citation needed] as Dongfeng bought out Nissan's stake in a joint venture company, Dongfeng Nissan Diesel Motor Co Ltd,[58] as part of a deal to initiate a new joint venture with Volvo.[56] In the Huadu District of Guangzhou, a production base was under construction in late 2010.[93] Planned to have a 240,000 units/year production capacity,[93] these may be engines not vehicles. It could be the large-scale vehicle production base under construction in 2010 that would expand Dongfeng-Nissan local production capacity in this area to 600,000 units/year.[94]

A joint venture with Nissan has a production base, Zhengzhou Light Truck plant, in Zhengzhou, Henan.[57] In 2010, this was joined by a second, increasing production capacity by 120,000 units/year.[93] Production capacity figures may consider engines and vehicles as discrete.

A handful of Nissan joint venture production bases are located in Xiangfan, Hubei, making light commercial vehicles and cars.[57]

A joint venture with the Korean Kia Motors, Dongfeng Yueda Kia Automobile Co is based in Yancheng, Jiangsu province, and produces Kia-branded automobiles for the Chinese market.[108] As of 2007, it has two production bases–the newer located in the Yancheng Economic Development Zone of Jiangsu province.[109]

Kia may have initially partnered with Jiangsu Yueda Auto Works–not Dongfeng–in an effort that produced the Kia Pride c. 1997.[citation needed] Dongfeng soon stepped in, however, forming Yueda Kia Motors in 1999 and buying out Jiangsu Yueda's ownership in March 2002.[110] Prior to this and as of 2007, Kia had a 50% share while Dongfeng and Jiangsu Yueda Investment Co Ltd (SSE: 600805) each held 25% ownership.[109]

In 2010, the Sportage was the 8th most-purchased SUV in China.[63] The company was reported as having two production bases in China that year.[111]

As of 2017, Korean automakers in China continued to flog a product mix highly reliant on less-favored sedans and were seeing flagging sales amid rising political tensions between China and the Korea peninsula.[112] Dongfeng exited the venture in 2021.

In December 2021, Dongfeng sold its 25% stake in the joint venture to Jiangsu Yueda for ¥ RMB297 million.

Its primary production base for passenger vehicle manufacture is in Wuhan, capital of Hubei province, with secondary sites in the city of Wenzhou, Zhejiang province.[15] Some commercial vehicles are most likely made in the city of Shiyan, Hubei province,[citation needed] as it is the home to a Dongfeng commercial vehicle division.[116]

International investments and holdings

[edit]

Stellantis (currently holds 1.58% of stakes)[117]

  • In 2014, Dongfeng Motor Corporation acquired a 14.1% stake in French PSA Group for 800 million euros (equivalent to 6.691 billion RMB).
  • In 2019, PSA and FCA reached a merger agreement. In order to facilitate the merger plan, Dongfeng Motor Corporation agreed to sell 30.7 million shares of PSA, reducing its stake from 12.23% to 9.14%.
  • In 2021, PSA and FCA completed the merger, and Dongfeng Motor Corporation's PSA shares were converted into shares of Stellantis Group. Dongfeng sold 36.06 million shares of Stellantis at 16.65 euros per share, totaling 600 million euros (approximately 4.677 billion RMB). After the sale, Dongfeng Motor Corporation still held a 4.5% stake in Stellantis Group.
  • In January 2022, Dongfeng again sold 40 million shares of Stellantis common stock for a total value of 732 million euros (approximately 5.257 billion RMB). After the transaction, Dongfeng held a 3.16% stake in Stellantis.
  • In November 2022, Stellantis repurchased 50 million shares of its common stock from Dongfeng for 934 million euros (approximately 7.276 billion RMB). After the completion of this transaction, Dongfeng's holding of Stellantis common stock reduced to 49.2 million shares, accounting for 1.58% of Stellantis' total share capital.
  • Through these four rounds of reducing its holdings in PSA Group and Stellantis Group shares, Dongfeng has generated 18.51 billion RMB cumulative cash by the investment in Stellantis and PSA.

Overseas activities

[edit]

Dongfeng sells products overseas through various legal arrangements that see mostly light commercial vehicles sold under its own brand name in a variety of formats and specifications.

Foreign countries where Dongfeng has or had a presence include: Pakistan,[118] Malaysia,[118] Myanmar,[118] Paraguay,[119] Philippines,[120] Vietnam,[118] and the United Kingdom,[121] et al.

Dongfeng has a joint venture for assembly of commercial trucks with Pakistan's Ghandhara Nissan,[122] whereas it assembles DFSK light commercial vehicles in Pakistan as a joint venture with Regal Automobile Industries Limited[123]

Brand efforts and sponsorships

[edit]

Dongfeng sponsored the Chinese entry for the 2014–2015 Volvo Ocean Race, a round-the-world sailing race.[131] Dongfeng also sponsored the winning entry in the 2017–18 Volvo Ocean Race.[132]

Controversies

[edit]

Some Dongfeng heavy duty trucks are sold as military vehicles, and limited exports under the name Dongfeng Aeolus have occurred. Dongfeng has, at times, exported military spec vehicles to conflict-ridden nations and places including 400 to Myanmar in 2005 and 200 into Darfur, Sudan, that same year.[133] This precipitated the Government Pension Fund of Norway abstaining from investment in Dongfeng Motor Group for a seven-year period between 2007[134] and 2014.[135][136]
