Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd. (DFL) was formally established on 9 June 2003 and began operations on 1 July 2003. Initially headquartered in Shiyan, it moved closer to its Chinese parent relocating to Wuhan in June, 2006. In September 2010, DFL unveiled a new automobile marque, Venucia, to sell vehicles tailored specifically for second- and third-tier Chinese cities in the poorer interior of the country. In 2011, a roadmap for additional investment in Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd. by its Japanese and Chinese parents was drawn up as part of a plan to boost annual sales from around 1.3 million vehicles in 2010 to over 2.3 million by 2015. In April 2012, it was announced that Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd. would begin manufacturing models from the range of Nissan's luxury marque, Infiniti, beginning in 2014. In 2017, the majority stake of Zhengzhou Nissan was acquired from the listed subsidiaries Dongfeng Automobile Company for 788 million.
