About Dongfeng Motor Corporation

Dongfeng Motor Corporation is the Wuhan-based state-owned automotive group, distinct from the listed Dongfeng Automobile light-commercial-vehicle subsidiary already represented separately in Korthos. The group is developing robotics for its own manufacturing and dealership network.

At its September 2026 Technology Innovation Week, Dongfeng presented a roadmap for the Xiaodong humanoid to begin factory training by late October, participate in trial production by year-end and enter small-batch production in 2027. Planned tasks include sorting, transport, loading and unloading, and quality inspection. Its Yuanzai quadruped is planned for dealership use from November 2026.
