Kathmandu, Lalitpur – 18th September, 2025 – Dongfeng Motor Group shares surged Friday after news came out that the company’s parent had plans to take the company private. The news sent shares in Hong Kong to their highest level in almost eight years. Investors took the news as a sign of increasing confidence in the company’s future and its growing importance and customer base in China’s automobile market.

 

The announcement was met with tremendous enthusiasm by the marketplace, as the Hong Kong-listed shares of Dongfeng soared by as much as 69% before later closing more than 57% higher. The privatization deal appears to be worth about $7 billion based on reports, and has widely been described as a signal of new faith in Dongfeng’s strength and potential.

 

For decades, Dongfeng Motor Group has stood at the top of the coup of major automakers in China, earning a reputation of providing vehicles that are cheap, reliable and focused on the customer. The brand has been recognized for its one “value-for-money,” which has become a home name for millions of drivers with marketable prices and satisfactory performance.

 

The privatization plan is designed to provide Dongfeng with greater flexibility to pursue its long-term strategy without the constraints of public market pressures. By enhancing its independence, the company will be better positioned to accelerate decision-making, strengthen operational efficiency, and respond quickly to industry changes.

Alongside this milestone, Dongfeng is preparing to spin off and list its premium electric vehicle brand, VOYAH, in Hong Kong. VOYAH represents the company’s strong push into the fast-growing EV market, bringing advanced technology, modern design, and sustainable mobility solutions to consumers. The listing will provide VOYAH with additional resources to fuel growth, expand its product portfolio, and strengthen its competitiveness in the global market.

Looking ahead, Dongfeng Motor Group is determined to balance its heritage of affordability with its vision for innovation. The combination of privatization and the VOYAH listing reflects the company’s commitment to adapt, grow, and lead in the evolving global auto industry.

With customers at the center of its mission, Dongfeng will continue to deliver reliable and affordable vehicles while shaping the future of electric mobility.
