The '''Dongfeng EQ2050'''{{efn|It is also known as Dongfeng Mengshi ({{lang|zh|东风猛士}})<ref name="Mengshi" />}} is a Chinese-made armored vehicle based on the [[Engineering:Humvee|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).<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://autonews.gasgoo.com/Detail2020.aspx?ClassId=2&ArticleId=3133|title=Chinese|website=Gasgoo}}</ref> 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 [[Engineering:Dongfeng Mengshi|Dongfeng Mengshi]] class of vehicles.

== History ==
[[Company:AM General|AM General]] presented a [[Engineering:Humvee|Humvee]] to the PLA for a demonstration in 1988 at the Beijing Defence Exhibition.<ref name="SD" /> The PLA were not interested in the vehicle, due to concerns of high maintenance costs and the vehicle's bulky size.<ref name="SD" /><ref name="BY">{{cite web |url=https://42.tut.by/538150 |title=Пять видов американского супероружия, которое скопировал Китай &#124; 42.TUT.BY |website=42.tut.by |access-date=19 April 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191207070342/https://42.tut.by/538150 |archive-date=7 December 2019 |url-status=dead}}</ref> 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.<ref name="Black" />

The Chinese petroleum industry purchased civilian Hummers in the 1990s.<ref name="SD" /> This gave Chinese automakers the ability to inspect the vehicle for [[Reverse engineering|reverse engineering]].<ref name="Black">{{cite web|url=http://www.carnewschina.com/2011/05/13/a-black-dongfeng-hummer-police-car-in-china/|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120121223112/http://www.carnewschina.com/2011/05/13/a-black-dongfeng-hummer-police-car-in-china/|url-status=dead|archive-date=January 21, 2012|title=A black Dongfeng 'Hummer' police car in China|date=May 13, 2011|author=Tycho de Feyter}}</ref> In 2003, the EQ2050 debuted at a car show after a prototype was made in 2002.<ref name="SD" /> Dongfeng Motor Group and Shenyang Aircraft Corporation were involved in producing prototypes similar to the Humvee for the PLA, with the former being selected.<ref name="PSP">{{cite web|url=http://www.carnewschina.com/2011/04/17/dongfeng-hummer-police-version-for-shanghai/|archive-url=https://archive.today/20110718132310/http://www.carnewschina.com/2011/04/17/dongfeng-hummer-police-version-for-shanghai/|url-status=dead|archive-date=July 18, 2011|title=Dongfeng 'Hummer' police version for Shanghai|date=April 17, 2011|author=Tycho de Feijter}}</ref>

== Development ==
[[File:DFM "Warior" on MIAS 2016 - interior.jpg|thumb|left|Interior of the EQ2050 at the 2016 Moscow International Automobile Salon convention.]]

When the vehicle was first built, the EQ2050 included the [[Engineering:Hummer H1|Hummer H1]] [[Engineering:Chassis|chassis]].<ref name="Mengshi" /> It was powered by a Dongfeng-built Cummins EQB150-20 110&nbsp;kW/2,700R turbo-charged diesel engine, but it came with the option of using a U.S.-made V8 diesel engine instead.<ref name="Mengshi" /><ref name="Black" /> The licensing rights for the Cummins engine were purchased so that Beijing could avoid any potential sanctions.<ref name="BY" />

Since 2008, almost all parts for the EQ2050 are made in China.<ref name="Mengshi" /> Both the EQ2050 and EQ2058 vehicles have a 5-speed gear box and a 2-speed transfer box.<ref name="Stats">{{cite web|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130426014220/http://chinaautoweb.com/car-models/eq-20502058-from-dongfeng-motors/|url=http://chinaautoweb.com/car-models/eq-20502058-from-dongfeng-motors/|title=Dongfeng EQ-2050, 2058 Features|publisher=China Auto Web|archive-date=April 26, 2013 |access-date=June 14, 2013}}</ref>

The EQ2050 is a four-wheel drive vehicle with an independent suspension system and [[Engineering:Central tire inflation system|central inflating system]].<ref name="Mengshi" /> The EQ2050 has redesigned lights and radiators.<ref name="SD" /> Dongfeng worked with AM General Motors to acquire American parts for the first EQ2050s made in production<ref name="Article" /> before the company was able to produce the necessary parts in China.<ref name="SD" /> The vehicle can be configured to be armed with machine guns, automatic grenade launcher, or anti-tank missiles mounted on top.<ref name="MT" /> Body styles include soft, hard, truck, and van versions.<ref name="SD" /><ref name="Mengshi" />

It was previously licensed to [[Company:DRB-HICOM Defence Technologies|DRB-HICOM]] in Malaysia to be marketed to countries that needed a right-hand drive vehicle, as the HICOM High Mobility Utility Vehicle (HMUV).<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.deftech.com.my/product4.html |title=Archived copy |access-date=November 14, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111114194259/http://www.deftech.com.my/product4.html |archive-date=November 14, 2011 |url-status=live }}</ref>
