Dongfeng Commercial Electric Vehicles has officially entered the Philippines through its official importer and distributor: Diamond Auto Group EV Corporation.

With more than 50 years of experience in the automotive industry, Diamond Auto Group starts a new chapter in its history by bringing in a more sustainable mode of transportation, especially in the commercial vehicle sector.

Meanwhile, as a brand, Dongfeng has a wide global reach—exported to more than 100 countries including Europe, Middle East, South America, Africa, and now, the Philippines. Of late, the brand has concentrated its efforts on developing New Energy (electrified) commercial vehicles, some of which have passed EU certification. It is these vehicles that’s being offered by Diamond Auto Group EV Corporation.

A complete lineup of light commercial vehicles will be available from Dongfeng EV. From its pickup—the Rich EV (161 horsepower, 420 Nm, 350-kilometer range) to its passenger van, the EC36 (80 horsepower, 300-kilometer range).

For cargo, Dongfeng is also offering the EV30 panel van (94 horsepower, 230 Nm) and the EC35 (80 horsepower, 200 Nm, 300-kilometer range). For those who need something bigger, there’s also the EC31 light-duty cab & chassis (80 horsepower, 200 Nm, 300-kilometer range), the EV35 medium-sized cab & chassis (134 horsepower, 230 Nm, 280-kilometer range), and the EV45 (161 horsepower, 320 Nm, 350-kilometer range).

Aside from new EVs, Diamond Auto Group EV Corporation will also service any aftersales needs by having ample spare parts availability and technical support provided by mechanics trained by Dongfeng to work on EVs.
