On September 8, Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle, in collaboration with Yinch Technology, held a new product launch event in Hangzhou for the Dongfeng Tianlong Flagship GX/KX gas intelligent driving models. Over 40 logistics companies and more than 200 customers attended the event, where they experienced the Dongfeng intelligent driving products. At the event, six logistics companies signed the industry’s first intent orders for 55 units of 6X4 gas intelligent heavy trucks.
This marks the first smart driving order for long-distance dedicated logistics transport clients since Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle delivered 400 intelligent driving orders to leading courier clients in Ningbo Yuhang on August 16.
Faster speeds, stronger power, lower fuel consumption, and higher attendance rates—achieving a blend of high efficiency and effectiveness across these four aspects can effectively meet market demands. The signed model is the Dongfeng Tianlong Flagship KX King Edition gas intelligent driving truck, equipped with the Dongfeng Cummins Z15N-580/630 horsepower engine, Eaton automatic transmission, and Dana rear axle—a classic trio of golden power chain components. It leads the industry in low-speed torque and maximum torque, offering excellent power response and stable output. Paired with a low-speed ratio rear axle, this combination excels at economic speeds, covering a wide range of economic RPMs, and easily meets the transport needs of long-distance dedicated clients with a single journey of over 2000 kilometers and annual operating mileage of over 250,000 kilometers.
As one of the earliest companies in China to commercialize intelligent driving trucks, Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle, with its deep technological accumulation and forward-looking strategic vision, continuously promotes the application and popularization of intelligent driving technology. Over the years, Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle and Yinch Technology have been dedicated to the research, development, and operation of automatic intelligent driving technology for trucks.
As of now, Dongfeng’s intelligent driving heavy trucks have achieved over 130 million kilometers of safe commercial operation, with an automation mileage ratio of up to 95-99%, significantly reducing drivers’ workload. Additionally, the 100% single-driving capability effectively lowers labor costs. Furthermore, the application of intelligent energy-saving technology has reduced fuel consumption by an average of 3%-7%, further enhancing operational efficiency. The introduction of the Dongfeng Tianlong gas intelligent heavy truck is expected to bring better TCO costs to logistics clients.
