Skio Junfeng (Jonway Wuxing based)
editDongfeng produces a rebadged electric logistics version called the Skio Junfeng (东风时空俊风) sold under the Skio (时空) NEV sub-brand. Despite the Junfeng name, the electric panel van is based on the Jonway Wuxing (永源五星) microvan instead of the Dongfeng Junfeng microvan, and was developed by Dongfeng in a joint venture with Zhejiang Jonway and rebadged based on the Jonway Wuxing (永源五星) microvan. Dongfeng has teamed up with Zhejiang Skio Matrix (Shikong) and Zap Jonway[6] to market a panel van version of the Jonway Wuxing as the new Junfeng. Skio Matrix is an electric vehicle conversion specialist and supplier of battery packs which also markets electric vehicles on behalf of Dongfeng (U-Vane EV), Zhidou, and Kandi.[7]
