The other shareholders were fellow state-owned financial companies China Huarong Asset Management, China Cinda Asset Management, China Orient Asset Management, China Great Wall Asset Management and China Development Bank for a total of 42.86% stake. In 2003, [new] Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd. was incorporated as a joint venture of Dongfeng Motor Group and Nissan. Dongfeng Motor Group, at that time still known as [old] Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd., was renamed to Dongfeng Automobile Industry Investment.

In August 2004 Dongfeng Motor Group bought back all the stakes of Dongfeng Motor Group from other stakeholders, for a total of CN¥4.6 billion. It also became a "company limited by shares" (, analog of public limited company) in October 2004, with a new name Dongfeng Motor Group. The company issued H share and became a listed company on 7 December 2005.
