Dongfeng Motors, represented exclusively in the UAE by MAHY Khoory Automotive, has reached a significant global milestone in vehicle safety and software innovation. The brand has officially earned the prestigious ISO 26262 ASIL-D certification — the highest level in automotive functional safety — along with the AUTOSAR Basic Software Platform certification. These accreditations were granted by TÜV Rheinland, a world-renowned authority in testing, inspection, and certification.
These internationally recognized certifications mark a pivotal achievement for Dongfeng Motors, underscoring the brand’s commitment to producing safer, smarter, and more reliable vehicles tailored for modern mobility demands.
Saj Jabbar, General Manager of MAHY Khoory Automotive, commented:
“This certification is a testament to Dongfeng’s engineering excellence and its unwavering focus on safety. As the brand’s official distributor in the UAE, we’re proud to introduce these advanced technologies to our customers, ensuring peace of mind and performance on every drive.”
The ISO 26262 ASIL-D certification represents the most rigorous safety standard in the industry — intended for automotive systems where failure could result in serious risk. Dongfeng’s compliance guarantees that every vehicle is built with intelligent safety mechanisms, robust redundancy, and comprehensive fail-safe protocols, essential for both personal and commercial use.
In parallel, the integration of the AUTOSAR (AUTomotive Open System ARchitecture) software platform allows Dongfeng to develop vehicles with greater modularity and scalability. This ensures that the vehicles are ready to adapt to future technologies, including autonomous driving and connected mobility solutions.
This achievement reinforces Dongfeng’s forward-thinking approach and strengthens its position in the UAE market — where demand for technologically advanced and safety-focused vehicles continues to grow. It also aligns with MAHY Khoory Automotive’s mission to bring high-quality, innovative vehicles to local roads, backed by dependable after-sales service and a growing showroom network.
With this milestone, customers across the UAE can now choose Dongfeng with greater confidence, knowing they’re investing in a brand that prioritizes global standards in safety, performance, and technological evolution.
