“All government departments should roll out real policies to support Dongfeng’s development,” Wuhan’s Communist party secretary Wang Zhonglin said last month during a visit to Dongfeng’s plant, describing the company as a “locomotive” of the city’s industrial development.
Wuhan city’s taxi fleets could also purchase 3,400 Dongfeng-made electric taxis, while the city would prioritize using Dongfeng-made utility-purpose vehicles, it said. Under the plan, local authorities would buy land from Dongfeng PSA venture’s Wuhan 1 plant, and would also support a move by Dongfeng’s premium electric vehicle project to use plants idled after Renault last month exited a joint venture with Dongfeng.
