Wuhan-based Dongfeng Motor Corp is set to export several of its light goods vehicle models to South Korea next year, according to various media reports.

Dongfeng China reportedly signed a deal with Dongfeng Motors Korea to import the vehicles starting early next year, and they will be priced at around 30 per cent less than their domestically built Korean rivals.

Dongfeng’s own brand sedans are expected to follow the goods vehicles into Korea once they have passed Korean vehicle safety and emission standards.
