According to Dongfeng Trucks, its new products have overtaken their rivals in all aspects with upgraded key and important features.
Dongfeng Trucks Strivet to Become World Leader
Dongfeng Trucks presented two new additions of its fifth generation truck family – Dongfeng KL and Dongfeng KR – on 6th January that were developed independently by the company.
With its own R&D and production facility in China, it is said that the quality of these two new vehicles could rival the best that the top-tier high-end heavy-duty trucks could offer. They are the results that the company achieved through its 5 years in R&D and the stringent quality control that it adheres to at every level of the manufacturing process.
One could see how Dongfeng Trucks had grown since it rolled out its first truck in 1975 to its current new generation intelligent heavy-duty trucks in the Dongfeng KL and medium-duty Dongfeng KR. Being one of China’s leading truck brand, Dongfeng Trucks was an active player in the development of that country’s automobile industry and providing solutions for demanding operations in long haul, regional and local distribution in tough construction, mining and off-road conditions.
The official launch of Dongfeng KL marked the start of the company’s new strategy. Equipped with a reliable powertrain and solid chassis, it has wide power range and various driving configurations. The company’s efforts paid off when Dongfeng KL was crowned the Chinese Truck of the Year (CToY) Award 2020. The award ceremony was held in Wuhan, during the China Commercial Vehicles Show (CCVS) on 2nd November, 2019.
Similar to the renowned International Truck of the Year, the Chinese Truck of the Year Award is presented to the truck introduced to the market in the previous 12 months that makes the greatest contribution to road transport efficiency. Several important criteria are considered, including cab, comfort, safety, driveability, fuel economy, environmental footprint and power performance.
Dongfeng KL has reached the total sales of more than 500,000 units. It has become a highly appreciated product with the highest market share in China. Holding a leading position in the domestic market has not led Dongfeng Trucks to rest on its laurels. It always aspires to become a world leader in the heavy-duty truck segment and Dongfeng KL is a powerful product for the company to make inroads into the international market.
Dongfeng is an automaker that started with a medium-duty truck. Today, Dongfeng KR is a ‘masterpiece’ that integrates the latest intelligent and networking technologies of Dongfeng Trucks. Dongfeng KR was extolled for its ‘attractive appearance, excellent manoeuvrability and great profitability’ the moment it was presented to the market.
To ensure the excellent quality of its final products, Dongfeng Trucks implemented strict quality control in every aspect of the production process, including the contracted upstream parts from suppliers. In addition, the company created a production process framework with elaborate standardised documents to help employees have a greater in-depth understanding of the respective product features. Both models have already passed more than 1.2 million kilometres performance test milestones.
The new generation of the Dongfong KL and KR are more than just transportation tools. They are intelligent terminals equipped with information technology that would accelerate the current China logistics and transportation industry to a modern, intelligent, data-driven logistics and transportation mode.
With the new generation Dongfeng KL and KR coming on-board, Dongfeng Trucks has become a truck manufacturer with the most complete medium and heavy-duty truck range in China. Dongfeng Trucks has entered a new stage of development with five product platforms (Dongfeng VL, Dongfeng VR, Dongfeng KX, Dongfeng KL and Dongfeng KR) sharing the same sales network.
According to Dongfeng Trucks, its new products have overtaken their rivals in all aspects with upgraded key and important features.
Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle (M) Sdn Bhd (DFCVM), the sole importer and distributor of Dongfeng heavy commercial and industrial vehicles in Malaysia, has just launched the new Dongfeng KC model in August this year. This included the KC340 6×4 and KC 375 8×4 for various applications such as mixers and tippers, among others.
Managing Director Lim Khoon Yee was glad that the KC models were well received by the owners and users during the various exhibitions and road shows that were conducted from August 2019.
“We are planning very closely with Dongfeng Trucks to introduce and launch the new Dongfeng KL prime-movers in Malaysia by June next year,” added Lim.
This year 2019 marks the 10th year of Dongfeng Trucks’ operation in Malaysia following the launch of the first model, Bison 260, on 31st March, 2009 under the company named Quasar Industrial Vehicles Sdn Bhd. The name was later changed to DFCVM in January 2011.
Over the decade of its contribution to the construction, logistics and transportation industry, Dongfeng Trucks built its brand name in Malaysia with more than 700 units on the road.
In December 2017, DFCVM was awarded the Outstanding Distributor Award by DFCV. The award is a validation of the important progress the company had made and its commitment to grow the Dongfeng brand in the Malaysian trucking industry.
