As a leading player in Guangxi's new energy Automotive industry, Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor will host a high-profile event on September 15, 2023. Renowned industry experts, academicians, scholars, automakers, and key media representatives will gather for the 2023 "Green·Leading" Standardization Exchange Conference, themed "Green Leadership for High Standards, Low-Carbon Support for High-Quality Development." This annual dialogue aims to explore the future pathways for green and high-quality development in the automotive industry and uncover the strategic layout and technical strengths behind Dongfeng Forthing's new energy transformation.

Accelerating the Forthing New Energy Plan

Dongfeng Forthing, a well-established Chinese brand, is one of the few automakers that successfully balanced commercial and passenger vehicles in the fuel era. With the automotive market transitioning to new energy, it has achieved notable milestones success, including the launch of the 130,000-yuan-class pure electric SUV Forthing Friday and the electrification of its best-selling Lingzhi family, which has sold over one million units. These achievements demonstrate Dongfeng Forthing's commitment to its strategic goals of achieving 100% electrification within three years and phasing out fuel vehicles within five years.

In 2023, Dongfeng Forthing has accelerated its new energy transformation into a "sprinting" phase. At the recent Chengdu Auto Show, the brand unveiled its latest technological advancements, including the EMA-E architecture platform and the upgraded Armor Battery 2.0, supported by a team of over 1,000 engineers. These innovations are designed to filter market bubbles with solid technology and create top-tier new energy products in China.

Expanding New Energy Product Lineup

Dongfeng Forthing will continue to expand its new energy product lineup across sedans, SUVs, and MPVs. As a pioneer in the MPV segment, Dongfeng Forthing was the first to break the joint venture monopoly with its first domestically developed MPV, earning its reputation as an "MPV expert." In the new era of "technology for market," the brand is set to launch a high-end luxury new energy MPV by the end of this year, which will outperform joint ventures and new forces in terms of both classic design and reliability.

The new MPV will feature the industry-leading Mahé Super Hybrid powertrain with a thermal efficiency of 45.18%, delivering the lowest fuel consumption and highest range in its class. It will also offer spacious and flexible interiors, setting a new benchmark in its segment. Additionally, the MPV will be equipped with first-class features such as aviation-grade seats, goose-down headrests, intelligent multi-screen displays, high-speed NOA, and smart parking capabilities, making it a standout among all current joint venture MPVs.

In 2024, Dongfeng Forthing will also introduce its first pure electric sedan, designed to disrupt the A-segment family sedan market. The sedan will feature a new design language, aiming to set a new aesthetic standard as "China's most beautiful pure electric family sedan." It will be equipped with the brand's new pure electric architecture platform and the upgraded Armor Battery 2.0, providing users with unparalleled safety and confidence.
