An ellipse double swallow label, different from the previous round one, is used as the trademark of Dongfeng Aeolus.
Dongfeng Aeolus is reportedly the chief name of all Dongfeng own-made PVs, with differently called models under Aeolus series in the future.
The first own-brand PV model, an economic family sedan, will roll off line at the end of the year. A 1.6L model will be delivered first in March 2009, followed by a 2.0L version priced at around 100,000 yuan ($14,560).
In the coming five years, Dongfeng Motor will launch over 10 passenger vehicle models of five series based on its C, B and D platforms, said Li Shaozhu, general manager of Dongfeng's PV department.
