Dongfeng, meaning East Wind, is the name under which the Chinese central state-owned manufacturer Dongfeng Motor Corporation builds and sells its own vehicles. The group is headquartered in Wuhan, Hubei, and was founded in 1969 as the Second Automobile Works, deep in the hills near what became Shiyan; it took the Dongfeng name in 1992. Its first truck, the EQ240, came in 1975 and the 5-ton EQ140, its first civilian truck, followed in 1978; the group passed 100,000 vehicles a year in 1986. Commercial vehicles carried the brand for decades, and today Dongfeng trucks come from a joint venture with Volvo, light commercial vehicles from Dongfeng Automobile Company, and military off-roaders from the Mengshi line. In 2023 the group folded its Aeolus and Nammi marques and a new electric sub-brand into one Dongfeng brand, while its premium electric brand Voyah and the foreign-branded joint ventures stay separate.
