Is the Dongfeng Longqing engine a Renault engine?

Dongfeng Longqing does not use Renault engines. Configuration: Dongfeng Tianlong trucks are equipped with engines such as dCi11, Dongfeng Cummins, and Yuchai, with displacements ranging from 5 liters to 13 liters and power ranging from 240 to 580 horsepower. The models cover from medium-duty to heavy-duty trucks of Dongfeng, matched with a Fast 12-speed transmission. This transmission features an all-aluminum casing, with an input torque of 2200N.m, highly compatible with the engine torque. Longqing Engine The Longqing DDi11L engine is a China VI engine jointly developed by Dongfeng and Volvo. Its advantages include a high-pressure common rail injection pressure of up to 2700bar, combined with a maximum power of 465 horsepower and a maximum torque of 2240N.m, making the Longqing DDi11L engine the China VI model with the highest power and torque among similar models.

I often deal with such engineering issues. The Dongfeng Longqing engine is not actually a direct Renault engine. It is a commercial engine series independently developed by the Dongfeng Group. While it incorporates technical expertise from international partners like Renault, the core design and manufacturing are Dongfeng's achievements. During the development process, engineers optimized fuel efficiency and emission control, making adjustments for China's complex road conditions, resulting in decent reliability. Some models may share platform elements with Renault, but this does not affect its status as an independent brand. I recommend paying more attention to actual user feedback, such as on truck driver forums, where many report that the Longqing is fuel-efficient and durable, making it a cost-effective choice.

As an ordinary person driving a Dongfeng truck, I've personally experienced the Longqing engine for several years. It's not a Renault engine, although I heard from the manufacturer that Renault's experience was borrowed for improvements. In daily driving, it's powerful, great for climbing slopes, and the fuel consumption is much lower than imported ones. Maintenance isn't expensive, parts are easy to find everywhere, which is quite worry-free. If you're considering buying a new truck, try test-driving it to feel for yourself—it's steady and reliable, don't just fall for the brand name.

Looking back at the history of automotive development, Dongfeng and Renault collaborated in earlier years to produce commercial vehicles and introduced some technologies. However, the Longqing engine is a brand independently developed by Dongfeng. It leverages Renault's advanced standards to enhance performance, such as emissions and power optimization, but it is not a direct copy of Renault's engine. This has helped domestic vehicles improve their competitiveness and has been widely applied in the truck sector.
