In September 2010, DFL unveiled a new automobile marque, Venucia (Chinese: 启辰; pinyin: Qǐ Chén), to sell vehicles tailored specifically for second- and third-tier Chinese cities in the poorer interior of the country.
In 2011, a roadmap for additional investment in Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd. by its Japanese and Chinese parents was drawn up as part of a plan to boost annual sales from around 1.3 million vehicles in 2010 to over 2.3 million by 2015. In April 2012, it was announced that Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd. would begin manufacturing models from the range of Nissan's luxury marque, Infiniti, beginning in 2014.
