Chenglong L2 EV Lands in Cambodia, Expanding Green Transport Footprint in Southeast Asia

On July 13, the Chenglong brand of Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor Co., Ltd. (DFLZM) held a launch event in Phnom Penh, where its all-new electric Light Truck, the Chenglong L2 EV, made its official debut in the Cambodian market.

 At the event, Chenglong signed a strategic procurement agreement for the L2 EV with a leading local conglomerate. At the same time, the brand completed the batch delivery of a fleet of core models to local key account partners — a testament to the solid cooperation between both sides and a clear sign that Chenglong's localized service system is already delivering real results.

Cambodia's infrastructure and commercial distribution sectors have been expanding steadily in recent years, driving consistent growth in demand for urban logistics and engineering support transport. As the country pushes forward with its green transportation transition, the need for new energy logistics vehicles that combine low operating costs with high reliability has become increasingly pressing. The arrival of the Chenglong L2 EV comes at exactly the right moment, matching the pace of the local logistics industry's shift toward greener operations.

Developed specifically for overseas markets, the L2 EV is built around three core promises: easy to drive, practical to use, and profitable to run — making it a versatile fit for a wide range of transport scenarios.

Easy to drive — standard EPS electronic power steering delivers a light, responsive feel, allowing the L2 EV to maneuver nimbly through Phnom Penh's congested streets and narrow urban-rural roads. The driving experience is closer to that of a passenger car, significantly lowering the barrier for drivers.

Practical to use — with a class-leading cab width of 2 meters, the L2 EV offers a spacious, comfortable cabin wrapped in Chenglong's signature family design language, striking a balance between everyday practicality and strong brand identity. The cargo box provides a volume of 31 m³, offering more loading space than mainstream competitors and delivering higher efficiency on every trip.

Profitable to run — a high-power motor ensures rapid power response and reliable transport timeliness. The battery, motor, and electronic control systems are all sourced from industry-leading suppliers, and together with a high-strength chassis, they enable the L2 EV to handle diverse scenarios from urban distribution to suburban hauling with outstanding stability on challenging roads. Long maintenance intervals and low upkeep costs translate into a high attendance rate, maximizing total lifecycle returns. A full suite of active and passive safety features further ensures comprehensive protection for daily operations.

The partner enterprise that signed the agreement operates a large-scale fleet spanning logistics, tourism passenger transport, and other sectors. As a key strategic partner of Chenglong in Cambodia, this agreement marks a significant deepening of collaboration in green transportation and underscores the broad potential for Chenglong's new energy products in the market.

The batch delivery of L2 EV orders to key accounts also reflects the confidence that leading Cambodian enterprises have in Chenglong's new energy capabilities, and marks the full extension of the partnership from traditional fuel models into the new energy arena.

Chenglong has already established a comprehensive localized service network in Cambodia, covering driver training, genuine spare parts supply, and rapid technical response. Moving forward, the brand will work closely with partners to expand local green logistics applications and further strengthen its operational network.

As a key piece in Chenglong's strategy to strengthen its foothold in the ASEAN market, the launch of the L2 EV and the fulfillment of batch orders further round out the brand's new energy product portfolio in Southeast Asia.

Backed by solid product capabilities and a proven localized service system, Chenglong will continue to roll out new energy commercial vehicle solutions across core ASEAN markets, supporting the green and low-carbon transformation of the region's logistics and transport industries.
