context_page_description: Dongfeng Motor Corporation is a Chinese state-owned automobile manufacturer headquartered in Wuhan, Hubei, China. Traditionally one of the "Big Four" Chinese automakers, Dongfeng is currently in the top four in terms of output along with Changan Automobile, FAW Group, and SAIC Motor.
  In addition to commercial and consumer vehicles, it also manufactures parts and cooperates with foreign companies, with joint ventures like Dongfeng Yulon, Dongfeng Yueda Kia, Dongfeng Honda, Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd., Dongfeng Peugeot-Citroën and Dongfeng Renault.
  The company was the second-largest Chinese vehicle maker in 2014 by production volume manufacturing over 3.5 million whole vehicles that year. Commercial vehicle production that year was higher than all other domestic manufacturers at nearly 450,000.
  Dongfeng has one direct listed subsidiary: Dongfeng Motor Group; Dongfeng Automobile Co., Ltd. is a listed company owned by DFG's joint venture Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd.
  Some sources may refer to the company as Dong Feng, use an acronym like DFM, or use the name in conjunction with others when referring to a subsidiary, joint venture, or other associated enterprise.
context_section_description: By 2003, Dongfeng had established joint ventures with Kia Motors (Dongfeng Yueda Kia, 2002), Honda (Dongfeng Honda, 2003), and Nissan (Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd., 2003). As of 2011, it had more Sino-foreign joint ventures than any other Chinese automaker, and the 2013 creation of a partnership with French Renault means it retains this title today.
  In 2004, intermediate holding company of the group, Dongfeng Motor Group, became a listed company in the Hong Kong Stock Exchange; Dongfeng Yueda Kia remained in the unlisted portion of the group.
  Dongfeng announced in November 2006 that they intend to sell their vehicles in Japan.
  In 2009, it sold 1.9 million vehicles ranking second among domestic automakers and third overall.
