Forthing's story begins in Liuzhou in 1954, grounded in a legacy of engineering, manufacturing and practical problem-solving. What started with industrial machinery evolved into vehicle production in the late 1960s, including the development of China's first medium-duty diesel truck. That foundation of strength, reliability and forward thinking continues to shape the brand today.
Becoming part of the Dongfeng Motor Group in the early 1980s marked a shift toward large-scale automotive production and long-term innovation. The expansion of modern passenger vehicle facilities in 2016 further strengthened Forthing's global capability, reinforcing its position as a confident and established automotive manufacturer.
Today, Forthing applies that heritage to a modern era of mobility. Advanced research and development, flexible electric platforms and proven production expertise allow the brand to rethink how vehicles are powered and experienced.
