History

edit

Background and founding

edit
A Dongfeng Motor truck in Tibet

During theKorean 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 theGAZ-51truck. This was originally planned to be atQingshan District, Wuhan,and later revised toWuchang District,also inWuhan.In 1955, these sites were disregarded as being too vulnerable toair raids,andChengduwas chosen as the proposed site.[7]The reasoning is also mentioned in a dictate of ChairmanMao 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 theSino-Soviet split,production of military trucks came into the spotlight again, and construction of theSecond Automobile Works(Đệ nhị ô tô chế tạo xưởng) was included in the thirdfive-year planin 1965.[7]

The company was officially founded in 1969 at a village of 100 residents, that would later grow to becomeShiyancity. 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 theXiangyang–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 firstEQ2402.5-ton Dongfeng truck was produced, followed by theEQ1405-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 includemicrovans,tiny commercial vehicles that are popular in China.

Between 1978 and 1985[12]alongside the market-basedChinese economic reformsinstituted byDeng 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 1999restructuringof the company.[8]

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

Thisstate owned enterprise[17]has come into conflict with authority at both the national and provincial levels.[18]AlongsideFirst Automotive Worksit 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-foreignjoint venturecompanies, Dongfeng initiated most of these cooperative efforts with foreign firms in the early 2000s. But its first was established in 1992 with FrenchPSA Group.Known as Dongfeng Citroën Automobile Company (DCAC), it was the forerunner to the currentDongfeng Peugeot-Citroën Automobile Limited(DPCA).[19]

2000–2010

edit
Dongfeng Rich

By 2003, Dongfeng had established joint ventures withKia 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 theHong 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 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 asmicrovans,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 automakerRenaultagreed 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 makingPSA Peugeot Citroën,a joint venture partner of Dongfeng since 1992, was recapitalized, with Dongfeng Motor Group taking a 14% stake.[34]

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]

Brand efforts and sponsorships

edit

Dongfeng sponsored the Chinese entry for the2014–2015 Volvo Ocean Race,a round-the-world sailing race.[131]Dongfeng also sponsored the winning entry in the2017–18 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 intoDarfur,Sudan,that same year.[133]This precipitated theGovernment Pension Fund of Norwayabstaining from investment in Dongfeng Motor Group for a seven-year period between 2007[134]and 2014.[135][136]
