Zhejiang Chunfeng Power Co., Ltd.,[a] commonly known by its trade name CFMOTO,[b] is a Chinese manufacturer of engines, motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles, quadricycles, quads, and yachts headquartered in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China.[1] The Chunfeng CF650-2 and CF1250J models produced by the company are police vehicles used by public security agencies in many provinces and cities.[2][3]
History
[edit]CFMOTO was established in 1989 by Lai Guoqiang.[4] In 2013, it began to be involved in the construction of high-end yachts.[5]
In 2011, CFMOTO and KTM entered into a commercial partnership. In 2017, the two companies started a joint venture[6][7] that allows the production and sale of KTM motorcycles in China under the name of "KTMR2R".[8] CFMOTO also assembles the small displacement models on behalf of KTM in its Chinese factories, as well as producing the larger displacement KTM engines.
Since 2017, CFMOTO has been listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange as Chunfeng Power with the code 603129.
At the end of 2020, CFMOTO announced a new sub-brand of electric motorcycles, a Zeeho.
Sales and marketing
[edit]CFMOTO designs and manufactures 400-1000cc ATVs, 500-1000cc SSVs, 1000cc UTVs,[9] and 125-800cc motorcycles.[10] Its annual production capacity is 800,000 engines and more than 600,000 vehicles[11] distributed in more than 100 countries and distributed by more than 2,000 partners.[11]
Racing
[edit]Grand Prix
[edit]Moto2 and Moto3
[edit]CFMOTO entered the Moto3 World Championship as a unique constructor using their KTM-based motorcycle.[12]
In 2022, CFMOTO made its debut in the Moto3 class of the Grand Prix motorcycle racing. In fact, two KTM RC250GPs rebranded CFMOTO were lined up by the Prüstel GP team.[13] The riders chosen for the debut season were Spaniards Xavier Artigas and Carlos Tatay.[14][15] At the Indonesian Grand Prix, Tatay started on pole position and finished in third place, the CFMOTO team's first podium.[16]
CFMOTO and Aspar Team join forces in 2024 to fight for the Moto2 and Moto3 titles. In 2023 CFMOTO achieved two more podiums at the Americas Grand Prix and the Australian Grand Prix. In 2024, the goal is even more ambitious: to fight for victories and podiums with the help of Jake Dixon and Izan Guevara, in Moto2, and David Alonso and Joel Esteban, in Moto3.[17] At the Qatar Grand Prix, David Alonso and the CFMOTO Aspar Team have made history with the first victory in the World Championship for a Chinese manufacturer.
