About Dongfeng

Dongfeng's own-brand passenger vehicles are sold under several sub-brands, including Aeolus (Fengshen) and Forthing, alongside a substantial commercial-vehicle business. The Rich 6 pickup is built by Zhengzhou Nissan, a Dongfeng subsidiary, and the E70 is a battery-electric sedan derived from the Aeolus A60 that is widely used in Chinese taxi and ride-hailing fleets.

Dongfeng's joint-venture history is directly useful when sourcing parts. Vehicles produced through the Nissan relationship — the Rich 6 pickup in particular — use architecture and components derived from Nissan designs, so service parts sometimes cross-reference to Nissan numbers. That is a genuine advantage when you are hunting for an obscure component, but it must be verified against the actual part number rather than assumed from the platform lineage. The second point is naming: "Aeolus" is a sub-brand covering several distinct vehicles rather than a single model, so a VIN is essential to establish which vehicle you are actually buying for.

Dongfeng models in this catalogue

Parts are organised by model, and each model page lists what is available for that vehicle together with the notes that matter when specifying it. The Dongfeng model lines currently covered are AX7, Aeolus, E70 and Rich 6.

The catalogue is organised by brand and model rather than by model year, because a model year on its own does not determine fitment — engine variant, trim, market and mid-life revisions all do. Use the model pages to see what is listed, then confirm the exact variant with a VIN when you send an enquiry.

Part categories available for Dongfeng

Across the Dongfeng range we list Body Parts, Brake System, Clutch & Transmission, Cooling System, Electrical, Engine Parts, Filters and Suspension. In part-type terms that covers air filter, alternator, brake discs, brake pads, clutch kit, control arm, front bumper, fuel pump, headlight, oil filter, radiator, shock absorber, side mirror, spark plug and starter motor.

If a component you need is not shown, it is worth asking anyway: catalogue coverage and what can be sourced are not the same thing, and cross-references from a shared platform frequently open up options that a brand-filtered listing does not show.

Identifying the right Dongfeng part

An OEM number is the vehicle manufacturer's own part number for a component. It is normally printed, stamped or moulded onto the original part, or onto a label attached to it. Aftermarket manufacturers publish cross-references linking their own catalogue numbers to those OEM numbers, and that cross-reference is what makes an order verifiable rather than an educated guess.

Cross-referencing matters because a single model line rarely uses a single part. Over a production run a manufacturer will change suppliers, revise a design mid-life, fit larger brakes to a heavier or higher-output variant, and build market-specific versions with different lighting, sensors and emissions equipment. Two vehicles that look identical in a showroom photograph can therefore take different parts. The model name narrows the search; the OEM number closes it.

What to send with a Dongfeng enquiry

The VIN is the 17-character vehicle identification number stamped on the chassis and shown on the registration document, usually visible through the base of the windscreen and on a plate in the door aperture. It encodes the manufacturer, the model, the body and engine variant and the production sequence, which is why it resolves fitment questions that a model name cannot. Sending the following with your enquiry lets us quote against a specific part rather than a description:

  • The VIN — 17 characters, exactly as it appears on the vehicle.
  • The model year and, where you know it, the engine code or at minimum the displacement and whether it is turbocharged.
  • The transmission type: manual, dual-clutch, CVT or torque-converter automatic.
  • Whether the vehicle is left- or right-hand drive, which affects lighting, mirrors and some chassis parts.
  • The number stamped, printed or moulded on the part you are replacing, if the old part is available.
  • A clear photograph of the old part, including any label and any electrical connector.
  • The quantity you need, so the enquiry can be quoted realistically.

Frequently asked questions about Dongfeng parts

Which Dongfeng models do you list parts for?

The catalogue currently covers AX7, Aeolus, E70 and Rich 6. Each model has its own page listing the parts available for it. If your vehicle is not shown, send the VIN and we will check whether the component you need cross-references from a related model.

Do you supply original or aftermarket Dongfeng parts?

Tell us which you need when you enquire and we will confirm what is available for your specific vehicle. Original-equipment and aftermarket parts differ in price, availability and lead time, and the right choice depends on whether the vehicle is under warranty, what the part is, and how quickly you need it.

I have heard Dongfeng pickups use Nissan parts. Is that true?

Partly. The Rich 6 is built by Zhengzhou Nissan, a Dongfeng subsidiary, using architecture derived from Nissan pickup designs, so some service parts do cross-reference to Nissan numbering. That can be very helpful when a component is hard to find, but shared lineage is not proof of an identical part — verify the number before you buy.

What exactly is an "Aeolus"?

Aeolus, known as Fengshen in the domestic market, is a Dongfeng sub-brand covering a range of sedans and crossovers rather than a single model. That means "for an Aeolus" is not a usable specification on its own. Send the VIN so the specific vehicle can be identified.

What information do you need to quote a Dongfeng part?

At minimum the VIN and the part you need. Ideally also the model year, the engine code, the transmission type, whether the vehicle is left- or right-hand drive, and a photograph of the old part showing any number printed on it. That combination is usually enough to identify an exact part rather than a probable one.

How do I read the number on my old part?

Look for a moulded, stamped or printed alphanumeric string on the body of the component or on a label attached to it. Ignore date codes and casting marks, which are usually shorter and often include a recognisable date. Photograph the whole component as well as the number — context helps identify which of several similar numbers is the part number.
