A New Chapter for Chinese Mobility in South Africa
As a proudly South African company, we at Wilgin Holdings are thrilled to announce our latest venture – bringing the innovative and affordable DFSK brand to the local market. After taking over the operations of the Chinese automaker JMC in South Africa, we’re now embarking on a new journey to provide our fellow countrymen with reliable and cost-effective commercial vehicles.
The DFSK Brand
Affordable Mobility for All DFSK, a subsidiary of the renowned Dongfeng Motor Corporation and Sokon Industry Group, is a name synonymous with affordability and practicality. With a focus on entry-level commercial offerings, DFSK is poised to revolutionise the way South Africans approach their transportation needs, whether for business or personal use.
Introducing the DFSK Bakkie (K01S) and DFSK Panel Van (C35)
At the forefront of our DFSK lineup are two standout models: the K01S compact bakkie and the C35 panel van. These vehicles are not mere replacements for the JMC models of old; they represent a fresh, innovative approach to affordable mobility tailored to the South African market.
The K01S Bakkie Redefining Affordability
The DFSK K01S Bakkie is set to make waves as the most affordable bakkie in South Africa upon its arrival.
This compact powerhouse packs a punch with its 1.2-litre petrol engine delivering 61kW and 112Nm of torque. And when it comes to hauling, the K01S Bakkie can carry an impressive 900kg payload in its rear tray, making it a versatile workhorse for tradesmen, small business owners, and anyone in need of a reliable utility vehicle.
The C35 Panel Van Commercial Might at an Unbeatable Value
For those with more substantial hauling needs, the DFSK C35 panel van is a force to be reckoned with. Powered by a 1.5-litre engine producing 85kW and 148Nm of torque, this commercial vehicle boasts a staggering payload capacity, ensuring you can transport even the bulkiest of loads with ease.
