​ Rooted in Shiyan, Roaming Mountains and Rivers—Dongfeng Trucks, the Backbone of China's Commercial

The double-swallow logo is a familiar mark in the hearts of countless truck drivers. Since its factory was founded in 1969, Dongfeng Trucks has been rooted in northwestern Hubei, starting from deep in the mountains and growing step by step into a pivotal leading brand in China's commercial vehicle industry. Over more than half a century of trials and tribulations, it has witnessed the vigorous development of domestic highway logistics, engineering construction, and urban-rural material circulation, carrying the striving dreams of generation after generation of transport workers.

In the 1970s, the Dongfeng EQ240 off-road truck was born. With its powerful off-road performance and solid, reliable chassis, it became a classic military off-road model. After the EQ140 medium truck came out, it quickly spread to every corner of the country—mines, construction sites, and urban and rural highways—becoming the mainstay of national transport in that era. In the 1990s, the EQ153 "eight-ton flat-nose diesel" rolled off the line. A milestone product among domestic flat-nose heavy trucks, it broke the limitations of long-nose trucks, adapted to China's complex road conditions, popularized flat-nose heavy trucks, and built a solid reputation in the freight market.

Entering the new century, Dongfeng embarked on a new path of product iteration. In 2006, the Dongfeng Tianlong was officially launched, opening up Dongfeng's position in the high-end heavy truck market and rewriting the competitive landscape of the domestic heavy truck market. In 2008, the Dongfeng Tianjin was introduced, filling the gap in the medium truck segment. In 2013, the Tianlong Flagship KX made its debut, benchmarked against international first-tier heavy trucks and pushing into the high-end trunk-line market. Subsequently, the Tianlong KL, Tianjin KR, and Tianlong GX were launched one after another, forming a clearly tiered product matrix covering heavy trucks, medium trucks, light trucks, and special-purpose modified vehicles, with a full range of models including tractors, stake trucks, box trucks, dump trucks, sanitation vehicles, and hazardous-chemical truck-mounted cranes, adapting to various operating conditions such as trunk-line express transport, green-channel cold chain, sand and gravel engineering, intercity distribution, and municipal special operations.

For many years, Dongfeng has insisted on independent research and development, creating the Longqing powertrain and integrating engine, transmission, and axle into a unified matching solution that balances the three core needs of power, fuel economy, and durability, while continuously absorbing advanced international commercial vehicle technology to improve its complete vehicle manufacturing system. Dongfeng Trucks' core labels are balanced stability and strong adaptability to operating conditions—it can maintain stable attendance on plateaus, in mountainous areas, mining areas, the humid and hot south, and the severe cold north. With a comprehensive service network across the country and a mature parts supply system, both individual owner-operators and large logistics fleets can receive timely maintenance support.

To this day, Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles has accumulated a massive production and sales scale, with vehicles running on every highway in the country while continuing to expand overseas, with exports to many countries and regions. In today's continuously evolving logistics industry, Dongfeng has not rested on its advantages in fuel vehicles. It has simultaneously laid out multiple new-energy routes including pure electric, hybrid, LNG, and hydrogen, built the D600 green-intelligent platform, and developed intelligent driver-assistance systems, transforming from a traditional truck manufacturer into a green smart logistics solution provider.

For more than half a century, the wheels have never stopped turning, and the double swallows fly forward against the wind. Dongfeng Trucks has long been more than just a transport tool. It accompanies countless truck drivers rushing along the road, supports the livelihoods of thousands of households, and upholds the main artery of domestic material circulation. Looking to the future, Dongfeng will continue to deepen its product direction of reliability, economy, and intelligence, and with hardcore product strength, set out on a broader new journey in logistics.
