In the first 11 months, DFCV sold more than 160,000 heavy-duty trucks, of which more than 90,000 units were contributed by the strategic model Kinland. In November, the Trademark Office of the State Administration for Industry & Commerce (SAIC) announced newly accredited famous Chinese trademarks on its official website. “Kinland” made the list as the first commercial vehicle sub-brand. Over the five years since launch, Kinland has gained recognition and trust from the market and customers, thus becoming a model in the domestic heavy-duty truck market.

    In the medium-duty truck market, Dongfeng consolidated its lead. In the first 11 months, DFCV sold 57,000 units, including more than 45,000 units contributed by the strategic model Kingrun, registering a record high.
