The Dongfeng EQ2050[lower-alpha 2] is a Chinese-made armored vehicle based on the Humvee, manufactured for government use by the Dongfeng Motor Group. It is known to be sold by the company for 700,000 Yuan ($93,000).[5] The vehicle was created after People's Liberation Army (PLA) officials saw the Humvee deployed in the Gulf War. While it is used in the PLA, it has also been exported to friendly countries for military use.

The EQ2050 is largely being replaced in its role by the newer Dongfeng Mengshi class of vehicles.

History

AM General presented a Humvee to the PLA for a demonstration in 1988 at the Beijing Defence Exhibition.[2] The PLA were not interested in the vehicle, due to concerns of high maintenance costs and the vehicle's bulky size.[2][6] The Humvee was seen in action worldwide via television during Operation Desert Storm, which gave the PLA second thoughts about having a similar vehicle for military use.[7]

The Chinese petroleum industry purchased civilian Hummers in the 1990s.[2] This gave Chinese automakers the ability to inspect the vehicle for reverse engineering.[7] In 2003, the EQ2050 debuted at a car show after a prototype was made in 2002.[2] Dongfeng Motor Group and Shenyang Aircraft Corporation were involved in producing prototypes similar to the Humvee for the PLA, with the former being selected.[8]

The vehicle became the PLA's preferred candidate in 2004, with 57 vehicles sent to the organization for trials from 2004 to 2006.[2] They were driven in the Tibetan Plateau, Gobi desert, and the northeastern parts of Heilongjiang province to simulate driving the EQ2050 in winter conditions.[2]

The first 100 EQ2050s were manufactured with US-made parts.[7] They passed design trials in 2006.[2] EQ2050s were then delivered to PLA special forces unit in the Guangzhou Military Region.[9]

While the EQ2050 was adopted by the PLA, it has also been adopted by People's Armed Police firefighter brigades[10] and by Chinese Public Security Police forces.[7][8] A civilian concept known as the Brave Soldier was put on display at the 2011 Shanghai Auto Show.[11] The CS/VA1 Light Strike Vehicle was first seen on public display at the 2012 Africa Aerospace & Defence Exhibition in Pretoria, South Africa.[12][13]

In October 2016, the EQ2050 was reported to be deployed by the PLA near the Afghan-Chinese border.[14][15] During the 2020 Belarusian protests, various news agencies reported the deployment of Belarusian EQ2050s throughout Minsk.[16]

On January 4, 2024, the PLA's Hong Kong Garrison officially reported the acquisition of the PCP001.[17]

Development

Interior of the EQ2050 at the 2016 Moscow International Automobile Salon convention.

When the vehicle was first built, the EQ2050 included the Hummer H1 chassis.[3] It was powered by a Dongfeng-built Cummins EQB150-20 110 kW/2,700R turbo-charged diesel engine, but it came with the option of using a U.S.-made V8 diesel engine instead.[3][7] The licensing rights for the Cummins engine were purchased so that Beijing could avoid any potential sanctions.[6]

Since 2008, almost all parts for the EQ2050 are made in China.[3] Both the EQ2050 and EQ2058 vehicles have a 5-speed gear box and a 2-speed transfer box.[18]

The EQ2050 is a four-wheel drive vehicle with an independent suspension system and central inflating system.[3] The EQ2050 has redesigned lights and radiators.[2] Dongfeng worked with AM General Motors to acquire American parts for the first EQ2050s made in production[9] before the company was able to produce the necessary parts in China.[2] The vehicle can be configured to be armed with machine guns, automatic grenade launcher, or anti-tank missiles mounted on top.[4] Body styles include soft, hard, truck, and van versions.[2][3]

It was previously licensed to DRB-HICOM in Malaysia to be marketed to countries that needed a right-hand drive vehicle, as the HICOM High Mobility Utility Vehicle (HMUV).[19]
