The Chinese Humvee Copy - Eastwind EQ2050 Dongfeng EQ2050
Published November 13th, 2006 in Chinese Car News and Dongfeng Automobile Company.



The symbol of all things American, the overly big, resource wasting, road hogging SUV come monster truck jeep - the Humvee has an Asian copycat, in terms of the East Wind (Dong Feng in Chinese) EQ2050 and Shenyang Aircraft Industry Co’s SFQ2040 HMWWV (pictured below)

Sinopec has actually bought real Humvees from the USA in the 90’s for use in the civillian sectors. According to Sinodefence.com, the chassis and several parts of the engine come from GM, would the PLA want to rely on foreign companies to supply its potentially main vehicle? Probably not. Im not sure how realiable this information is, seeing as the US and Europe (and most of the capitalist world) has a ban on exporting weapons technology to China for use within weapon systems.
The Dongfeng humvee has a V8 AMG Diesel engine, with 200BHP and a price tag of 250k RMB I’m sure the PLA boys will have a great time playing with this bad boy. The body has only basic protection from small arms fire but looks like it could be upgraded, as could the whole body, to carry missiles, or gun mounts etc. Check out the pictures in the more info section.

Anyway, there are two companies in China that are producing Humvee copies, and both are undergoing road testing with the PLA.

You can see more pictures of the Dongfeng hummer here but be warned, its in Chinese! Lots of pictures though!
