Dongfeng Import & Export's First Batch of 100 V5 Tractors Sets Sail for Saudi Arabia, State-Owned Enterprises Join Hands to Accelerate 'Going Global'
On June 16, the first batch of 100 V5 tractors from Dongfeng Import and Export Company was shipped to Saudi Arabia at a ceremony held in Shiyan, marking the official launch of the Dongfeng Import and Export V5 series in the Saudi market. This signifies the substantive implementation of the tripartite overseas strategic cooperation among Dongfeng Import and Export, Dongfeng Huashen, and Xiamen Xiangyu, providing a vivid footnote for central and state-owned enterprises to respond to the 'Belt and Road' initiative and jointly go global.
Chen Xianbing, Director and Deputy General Manager (in charge of daily operations) of Dongfeng Special Commercial Vehicle, Yang Tao, Deputy General Manager of Dongfeng Import and Export Company, and Zheng Yongliu, General Manager of Xiamen Xiangyu Automobile Co., Ltd., attended the event.
Currently, as Saudi Arabia's 'Vision 2030' advances, energy transition, infrastructure acceleration, and logistics upgrades continue to release demand in the commercial vehicle market. The Middle East has become a core strategic market for Chinese commercial vehicles going global. This tripartite collaboration to enter Saudi Arabia is a pragmatic action in response to the national 'Belt and Road' initiative.
The V5 tractors shipped this time are star products specially optimized for Saudi Arabia's high-temperature desert conditions and cross-border logistics scenarios. They fully match local operational needs in terms of power, reliability, and economy, embodying the manufacturing capabilities of the Dongfeng system. Since the launch of the Saudi project at the end of 2025, the three parties have maintained high-frequency coordination, from frontline market research to product customization, from delivery plan refinement to full-chain preparation, ensuring the timely shipment of the first batch of orders.
Chen Xianbing stated that Dongfeng Huashen will closely collaborate with Dongfeng Import and Export and Xiamen Xiangyu to establish a dedicated green channel for export orders; rapidly iterate product solutions for scenarios such as mining transportation, cold chain logistics, and port transportation; and jointly deploy spare parts in advance and station technical teams for on-site support. The three parties will maintain high-frequency synchronization to jointly explore more overseas regional markets.
Yang Tao stated that this shipment is an important step for Dongfeng Import and Export in implementing the group's 'International Leap' strategy. Dongfeng Import and Export currently has over 1,200 partners in more than 100 countries, has established 18 overseas production bases, and is driving the Dongfeng brand to upgrade from 'products going global' to 'brands going deep' and 'manufacturing staying local'.
Zheng Yongliu stated that this tripartite collaboration achieves complementary advantages, shared risks, and resource sharing, forming a synergistic development force. In the future, Xiangyu Automobile will continue to deepen localized operations, enhance service capabilities, and strengthen strategic coordination with Dongfeng Import and Export and Dongfeng Huashen to jointly seize development opportunities in the Middle East market.
This batch shipment marks a new starting point for Dongfeng Import and Export to deepen its presence in the Middle East market. Dongfeng Import and Export and Dongfeng Huashen will continue to strengthen localized product R&D and full lifecycle service support, bringing higher-quality Chinese commercial vehicles and more professional Chinese services to the world, making the 'Made in China' brand shine even brighter along the 'Belt and Road'.
