In 2003 the joint venture Dongfeng Yu'an Automobile, headquartered in Chongqing, was formed and work began on the construction of a new factory.

Subsequently, DFSK presents numerous other models of minivans and starts exporting them also in Europe; in the UK they will be distributed by subsidiary Sokon Automobile while in Italy by Giotti Victoria.

[5] Chongqing Ruichi Automobiles is now a fully-funded subsidiary of Seres, with products being rebadged electrified versions of DFSK's microvans and trucks.

The project debuted in 2016 called Dongfeng Fengguang 580, a five and seven-seater front-wheel or four-wheel drive SUV with Mitsubishi engines.

On foreign markets, this vehicle will be renamed DFSK Glory (easier to pronounce) using the Dongfeng Dual Wings emblem on the grille, interior and rear.

[citation needed] In the same years, the production of the minivan range was started in Indonesia and Thailand and exports also to South America and Eastern Europe.

Total sales in 2017 reached 402,000 vehicles and in November 2018 Chongqing Sokon Group attempted to acquire the remaining 50% of the DFSK joint venture from Dongfeng for 621 million euros, becoming 100% owner.

[12] Fengon (or DFSK Glory for foreign markets) formerly known as Dongfeng Fengguang (Chinese: 东风风光), is the sub-brand of Seres that produces passenger vehicles.
