In 1969, the Chinese company "DongFeng" was founded, which became not only one of the first car manufacturers in China, but also a real strategic partner of the country's government.

The Chinese bus is equipped for passengers, here there is a longitudinal row of seats on the starboard side, stop signal buttons for the driver are built into the handrails. Fitting wheels with a smaller diameter clearly implied a lower floor height in the cabin. The boarding is the same as on other buses; surprising only two right front seats, located on the starboard side, one after the other.

 

Another surprise was the spare wheel space - next to the rear seats, not secured with anything. The place where the spare wheel is attached to the cargo counterparts is not available on this bus. As a result, dangling, dirty, standing in the cabin, it will clearly provoke the person next to it.

 

On the move, the car behaves quite predictably. Licensed turbocharged diesel DFA-Cummins with a power of 140 hp allows you to move confidently enough. By the way, when studying the controls, they found the answer to the question about the pedigree: the steering column switches are mirrored, like the gearshift scheme.

I would like to note the huge windshield, which heats up surprisingly quickly enough. If the fan above the driver's seat could be rotated in a horizontal plane, the blowing of the glass would be just "five plus".

 

Summing up my impressions, I can say that the bus will be in demand. Although why will it, it is already selling well. In addition to intracity minibuses, it will clearly be successful and as a corporate transport, it will definitely not be idle.
