On June 16, the departure ceremony of the first batch of 100 V5 tractors exported to Saudi Arabia by Dongfeng Import and Export Company was held in Shiyan, marking the official landing of the Dongfeng Import and Export V5 series in the Saudi market. The overseas strategic cooperation between Dongfeng Import and Export, Dongfeng Huashen, and Xiamen Xiangyu entered a substantive landing stage, writing a vivid footnote for the central state-owned enterprises to respond to the "Belt and Road Initiative" initiative and jointly go to sea.
Chen Xianbing, Director and Deputy General Manager (in charge of daily operations) of Dongfeng Special Business, 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.
At present, Saudi Arabia's "Vision 2030" is advancing in depth. Energy transformation, infrastructure acceleration, and logistics upgrades continue to release market demand for commercial vehicles. The Middle East has become the core strategic market for China's commercial vehicles to go overseas. The three parties' joint deployment in Saudi Arabia is a practical action in response to the country's "Belt and Road Initiative" initiative.
The V5 tractor shipped this time is a star product optimized for special projects in Saudi Arabia's high-temperature desert conditions and cross-border logistics scenarios. It fully matches the local operation needs in terms of power, reliability and economy, and is a concentrated embodiment of the manufacturing capacity of Dongfeng System. Since the launch of the Saudi project at the end of 2025, the three-party high-frequency linkage has smoothly guaranteed the first batch of orders to be shipped as scheduled, from first-line market survey to product customization development, from delivery plan polishing to full-link preparation.
Chen Xianbing said that Dongfeng Huashen will work closely with Dongfeng Import and Export and Xiamen Xiangyu to establish a green channel for special projects for export orders; rapidly iterate product solutions for mining transportation, cold chain logistics, port transportation and other scenarios; joint partners front spare parts, stationed technical team support; the three parties maintain high-frequency synchronization and work together to develop more overseas regional markets.
Yang Tao said that this departure is an important move in the "internationalization leap" strategy of Dongfeng Import and Export Undertaking Group. Dongfeng Import and Export currently has more than 1,200 partners in more than 100 countries around the world, and has built 18 overseas production positions, promoting Dongfeng brand from "going out of goods" to "brand in" and "manufacturing stay" upgrade.
Zheng Yongliu said that the three parties have joined hands to achieve complementary advantages, shared risks, and shared resources, forming a collaborative development force. In the future, Xiangyu Automobile will continue to deepen localized operations, improve service capabilities, deepen strategic coordination with Dongfeng Import and Export and Dongfeng Huashen, and jointly seize the development opportunities of the Middle East market.
This batch departure is a new starting point for Dongfeng Import and Export to deepen the Middle East market. Dongfeng Import and Export and Dongfeng Huashen will continue to strengthen product localization research and development and full life cycle service guarantee, bring better quality Chinese commercial vehicles and more professional Chinese services to the world, and make the "Made in China" business card shine more and more along the "Belt and Road Initiative".
