Shanghai, June 17 (Gasgoo.com) A unit of China's Dongfeng Motor Group Co has bought a 20% stake in the Chinese unit of Taiwan's Yulon Motor Co, Taiwan's Commercial Times reported on Wednesday, citing unnamed Yulon officials.

In the name of Dongfeng Hangzhou Auto Co, Dongfeng Motor bought the stakes in Yulon's Luxgen(Hangzhou) Motor Co., which is based in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, for an unspecific amount of money.
