From January to Febuary, DFAC’s exports grew by 9.4% year on year.  Among them, the independent export business rose19.29% year-on-year, higher than the industry growth rate.

Meanwhile, the company has made new breakthroughs in overseas operations in some key areas. Particularly, DFAC secured news orders for 400 light trucks in Ecuador, 200 Yufeng in West Asia, and 1000 units of mini truck in Chile and Russia.
