Literal meaning Dongfeng Motor Corporation

Dongfeng Motor Corporation is a Chinese state-owned automobile manufacturer headquartered in Wuhan, China. Traditionally one of the "Big Three" Chinese automakers,[4] Dongfeng is currently in the top four along with Chang'an Motors, FAW Group, and SAIC Motor.[5]

In addition to commercial and consumer vehicles, it also manufactures parts and cooperates with foreign companies. Counting six global automakers as partners, it has more Sino-foreign joint ventures than any other Chinese carmaker. These partnerships allow it to produce and sell a variety of foreign-branded products in China including those of Citroën, Honda, Kia, Nissan, Peugeot, and Renault. Other brand names associated with Dongfeng include Fengshen, Infiniti, Luxgen, and Venucia. Heavy-duty commercial vehicles and buses are sold under the eponymous Dongfeng brand.

The company was the second-largest Chinese vehicle maker in 2014 by production volume manufacturing over 3.5 million whole vehicles that year. Commercial vehicle production was higher than all other domestic manufacturers at nearly 450,000.[6]

Dongfeng has two listed subsidiaries—Dongfeng Motor Group Co (SEHK: 0489) (东风汽车集团股份有限公司, abbr. 东风集团股份)[7] and Dongfeng Automobile Co Ltd (SSE: 600006) (东风汽车股份有限公司).[8]

History

1969 to 2000

Tibet

Known as Second Automobile Works (第二汽车制造厂) until 1992,[9] Dongfeng, or "East Wind" in Chinese, was founded in 1969.[4] Its origins lie in a dictate of Chairman Mao Zedong; as part of his "Third Front" strategy, its far inland location in Hubei Province was meant to protect it from foreign invasion.[4] 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 1978-1985[12] alongside the market-based Chinese economic reforms instituted by Deng Xiaoping, Dongfeng was transformed from a manufacturer of two heavy-duty trucks[4] 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.[4]

This state owned enterprise[16] has come into conflict with authority at both the national and provincial levels.[17] Alongside First Automobile 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).[18]

2000 to 2010

Dongfeng Rich

By 2003, Dongfeng had established joint ventures with Kia Motors (Dongfeng Yueda Kia Automobile Company, 2002[19]), Honda (Dongfeng Honda Automobile, 2003[20]), and Nissan (Dongfeng Motor Company, 2003[21]). As of 2011, it had more Sino-foreign joint ventures than any other Chinese automaker,[4] and the 2013 creation of a partnership with French Renault means it retains this title today.

In 2009, it sold 1.9 million vehicles[22] ranking second among domestic automakers[23] and third overall.[5]

2010 to present

A Dongfeng-built Nissan Tiida

At the 2010 Beijing Auto Show, Dongfeng displayed an electric vehicle concept car, a physical representation of its vow to bring an electric car to market by 2015. China subsidies oil, an incentive for the State to spur alternative energy vehicle development, and Chinese automakers see opportunities in less mature electric vehicles because Western companies have yet to develop much of a lead in the technology.[24]

In 2010, the company sold 2.72 million units,[25] making it the second most-productive Chinese vehicle-maker.[26] It reported 1.72 million sales of passenger vehicles that same year.[27]

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.[28]

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.[29]

In January 2013, Dongfeng and the Sweden-based Volvo agreed to form a China-based medium- and heavy-duty truck manufacturing joint venture called Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles, to be owned 55% by Dongfeng Motor and 45% by Volvo.[30][31] As part of the transaction, Volvo will pay 5.6 billion yuan (US$900 million) to Dongfeng, Dongfeng will contribute the bulk of its China-based medium- and heavy-duty truck manufacturing activities to the venture, and Dongfeng will buy out Nissan Motors from its existing joint venture in medium- and heavy-duty trucks with the Japanese company.[30][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 taking a 14% stake.[34]

Based in Wuhan, Hubei province,[42] Dongfeng Honda Automobile Company was established in 2003[42] and manufactures Honda-branded SUVs and automobiles for the Chinese market.[43] Products produced by this joint venture with Honda[43] include the Honda Civic,[43] the CR-V and the Spirior.[44] As of early 2011, some offerings may incorporate Japanese-made parts.[45] Dongfeng also owns 10% of Honda's auto plant dedicated for export in Guangdong Province, Honda Automobile (China) Company.

In 2010, its model line included what was China's best-selling SUV that year, the CR-V.[46] Other Honda-branded models sold in China are made by Guangqi Honda Automobile (of the Guangzhou Automobile Group), but in 2004 Honda made an agreement that allowed it to sell Dongfeng-built CR-Vs through Guangzhou's showrooms.[47]

Dongfeng Nissan

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.[48] When the Chinese State began allowing foreign automakers access to its market though joint ventures with Chinese companies, Nissan chose Dongfeng. It remains the only Chinese partner of Nissan[49] although each foreign automaker is allowed two.[50]

Dongfeng Motor Company

Established in 2002,[10] Dongfeng Motor Co Ltd began operating in July 2003.[51] Nissan hold 50% ownership[52] in this maker of heavy trucks, light commercial vehicles, and passenger cars.[53] Heavy-duty trucks and buses exclusively carry the Dongfeng brand name,[52] light-duty trucks use both the Nissan and Dongfeng names,[53] and consumer offerings are Nissan products.[52] While the great majority of passenger cars retain the Nissan name, a small number sell under the brand name Venucia.

A few of its Dongfeng-branded light commercial vehicles have been exported to Afghanistan, Pakistan, Africa, and the Middle East.[54]

Infiniti

Infiniti-branded vehicles are most probably imported as of 2006,[55] but it was reported in 2013 that some production may be moved to China in the future.[56]
