Dongfeng Achieves Highest Global Safety Certifications

Abu Dhabi : Dongfeng Motors has set a new safety benchmark in the UAE with global ISO ASIL-D and AUTOSAR certifications to reinforce trust in innovation and reliability for drivers in UAE.

• Dongfeng has received ISO 26262 ASIL-D and AUTOSAR certification.
• TÜV Rheinland confirms global safety and software standards
• MAHY Khoory Automotive is the distributor in the UAE.
• This helps enhance the value, safety, and confidence of the brand for customers in the UAE.

Dongfeng Motors, in partnership with UAE distributor MAHY Khoory Automotive, has reached a major safety milestone globally with two top-tier certifications — ISO 26262 ASIL-D and AUTOSAR Basic Software.

This achievement shows that Dongfeng is strongly committed to safety and smart mobility, which help boost its presence in the automotive sector in UAE, which is growing fast.

Setting the Bar for Vehicle Safety

Dongfeng’s ISO 26262 ASIL-D certification is the highest standard in automotive functional safety. It confirms that vehicles coming from the brand are equipped with advanced safety systems made to prevent failures that could lead to life-threatening incidents.

These systems are vital for driving every day and commercial use in a region where safety is increasingly concerning among buyers.

The AUTOSAR Basic Software certification helps raise the bar further. Dongfeng’s vehicles, by adopting this global standard, become future-ready with modular software architecture, which makes them more flexible, scalable, and capable of supporting autonomous and smart features over time. These platforms, which are integrated, also support fast development and system updates as technology evolves.

What It Means for UAE Drivers

• Globally certified: TÜV Rheinland-certified ASIL-D and AUTOSAR compliance.
• Stronger safety protocols: Fail-safe designs for personal and fleet vehicles.
• Smarter vehicles: Modular software for faster innovation.
• Trusted dealer: MAHY Khoory Automotive distributes it locally.
• Customer confidence: Backed by local service, showrooms, and after sales support.
