Dongfeng Honda Auto Parts Co., Ltd. (DHAC) (东风本田汽车零部件有限公司) is a Sino-foreign equity joint venture between Dongfeng Motor Group (东风汽车集团有限公司) and Honda Motor Co. (本田技研工业株式会社), established December 23, 1994 with USD 62.5 million registered capital and formal production commencing November 30, 1995. The company manufactures engine and chassis key components — crankshafts, camshafts, hub and disk assemblies (brake discs), connecting rods, cylinder sleeves, bearing seats, and aluminum forged and iron steering knuckles — for passenger vehicles. Operations are based at a 420,000 sqm factory in Dayawan, Huizhou, Guangdong, with 953 employees as of July 2026 and combined annual capacity of 1.75 million engines and 1.5 million chassis component sets; 2025 sales volume reached 684,000+ units.

DHAC operates an integrated marketing–R&D–manufacturing (营销-研发-制造) full value chain spanning product design and simulation, casting, forging, machining, mold-making, and non-standard prototyping. The company holds proprietary centrifugal casting technology with two self-developed automated production lines — only seven such lines exist globally — supported by 1,400+ CNC machines including 280+ machining centers, 200+ CNC lathes, 100+ CNC grinders, and a New Weiqi 3150T forging press rated at 260,000 units per year. Its lightweight solutions capability covers topology, dimensional, and shape optimization, aluminum and magnesium alloy forging, integrated die casting, foam centrifugal casting, and fixed-point cooling processes, supporting NEV component requirements. The IP portfolio includes 30+ granted invention and utility model patents covering camshaft, cylinder sleeve, steering knuckle, and process-equipment innovations; the company holds Guangdong Province High-Tech Enterprise certification (2024).

DHAC's revenue model is direct B2B OEM supply to affiliated Honda system joint ventures — Dongfeng Honda (东风本田汽车), Guangqi Honda (广汽本田汽车), and Dongfeng Honda Engine (东风本田发动机) — through long-term supply contracts at negotiated commercial terms; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company is actively diversifying beyond the Honda system, having launched mass production of M18-2L brake discs for Dongfeng Mengshi Technology (猛士科技, a Dongfeng Group NEV brand) in October 2024, entering the 2R motorcycle parts business with a 190cc cylinder sleeve in July 2024, and contributing components to the Honda Ye (烨) brand's first NEV — Dongfeng Honda S7 — launched March 2025. A June 2022 strategic cooperation agreement with Dongfeng Motor Technology Center targets chassis component R&D, testing, and value chain expansion.
