On Friday, 12 June 2026 Dongfeng Heavy Industries Sdn Bhd officially launched their business as official dealer of Dongfeng trucks by introducing a comprehensive range of heavy-duty trucks to the Malaysian market. Headed by Mr Quek Wang, Executive Director of Dongfeng Heavy Industries, the newly launched company will be operating from Jalan Meru, Klang as their headquarters following their appointment as official distributor late last year.
The Truck models chosen as the initial line-up for Malaysia are tipper trucks, cement mixers and prime movers. Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles is a leading China based manufacturer known for its innovative, durable, and high-tech commercial vehicles. Ay the event, Dongfeng Heavy Industries Sdn Bhd signed a purchase agreement with Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles for 200 truck units (mostly the construction vehicles with some of the Prime Movers being locally assembled as Prime Movers are not so affected by excise duties versus construction vehicles), being the initial number of units for Malaysia. Additionally, the local assembly agreement between Dongfeng Heavy Industries Sdn Bhd and Gemilang Coachwork Sdn Bhd, as well as several purchase agreements with clients were also finalised.
