They are both four-wheel drive with independent suspensions and central inflating system. The EQ2050 also has re-designed lights and radiator to make it look different from the original Humvee. DFM has cooperated with AM General Motors on getting American-made parts for the first EQ2050s made.

Dongfeng EQ2050s in service with the People’s Liberation Army. Also in use by People’s Armed Police Fire Fighting brigades and by Public Security Police forces.
