On April 16, 2025, the 394th batch of the “Announcement of Road Motor Vehicle Production Enterprises and Products” was officially released. Shaanxi Automobile Group applied for two products this time, namely the pure electric light truck chassis and the pure electric van, both of which are developed based on the Kunshi chassis of Synland. Currently, the commercial vehicle products of Shaanxi Automobile built based on the Kunshi chassis have successfully completed a number of professional performance tests at the national-level test fields in Chongqing and Xiangyang, covering multiple items such as braking, ABS, cruising range, and collision, fully demonstrating its technical advantages and innovative strength.
Synland undertakes the mission of integrating and innovating the electrification and intelligence of commercial vehicles of Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL). Combining its own forward chassis design capabilities and the research and development capabilities of components products, it is committed to creating a new symbiotic and win-win commercial vehicle ecosystem.
As an important part of Shaanxi Automobile’s “dual-wheel drive” strategy, Shaanxi Automobile Commercial Vehicle has a profound accumulation of complete vehicle research and development and intelligent manufacturing technologies. With the technical support of the Kunshi chassis solution, it has a strong alliance with Synland, complementing each other’s advantages.
This is not a simple supply chain cooperation, but a co-creation of an industrial revolution!
Born for the Future Pure Electric Light Trucks
In recent years, the new energy commercial vehicle market has developed rapidly. In March 2025, the sales volume of new energy light trucks reached 11,922 units, and the penetration rate exceeded 22%, indicating an explosive growth throughout the year. At the same time, some industry pain points have gradually emerged. Short cruising range, high energy consumption, and low load capacity have all restricted the development of the industry. Relying on single-point innovation can no longer meet the needs of the industry’s high-quality development, and comprehensive innovation at the system or even chassis level is urgently needed. The Kunshi solution has achieved a leap from passively responding to market pain points to actively reshaping industry standards by building all-dimensional underlying technical capabilities. This system-level innovative thinking is precisely the key to breaking the dilemma of the electrification of commercial vehicles.
Decoding the Innovative Technology of the Kunshi Chassis
The Kunshi chassis solution provides a revolutionary solution for the new energy commercial vehicle market through the innovative “1+3+1” technical architecture, that is, the Qiankun architecture, the Tianqing power chain, and the multi-source heat pump intelligent temperature control system.
Qiankun Architecture: Breaking through Tradition, a New Benchmark for Pure Electric Vehicles
As the core technology of the Kunshi chassis, the “Qiankun architecture” breaks through the shackles of the traditional light truck architecture. It innovatively adopts a streamlined body structure. Through aerodynamic optimization and large-space design, it not only has an extremely low drag coefficient of 0.33 but also optimizes the cab collision performance, ensuring a spacious cab space and cargo box space, greatly improving comfort and safety.
Tianqing Power Chain: Efficient Drive, Excellent Performance
Based on the solid foundation of the Qiankun architecture, the Kunshi chassis solution adopts the innovative and efficient “Tianqing power chain”. This solution innovatively integrates three core components: the customized Tianxing battery for Kunshi, the high-efficiency liquid turbine electric drive, and the BrainOne central domain control, jointly constructing the strongest “power heart” for the electrification transformation of commercial vehicles.
Multi-source Heat Pump Intelligent Temperature Control Technology – Balanced Energy Distribution
The Kunshi chassis adopts the multi-source heat pump intelligent temperature control technology. Through the series-parallel coupling of different loops, it realizes the high integration of the energy of the vehicle’s thermal management system. Through the physical integration of different components such as water pumps, water valves, and plate heat exchangers, it realizes the high integration of the components of the vehicle’s thermal management system. At the same time, by integrating intelligent temperature control technology, it has break throughly upgraded the air conditioning, battery, motor, and electronic control systems from the traditional distributed system to an integrated thermal management energy platform, finely managing and evenly distributing the cooling capacity and heat of the vehicle, optimizing and improving the performance of the commercial vehicle’s thermal management system, and providing a reliable guarantee for the stable operation of electric commercial vehicles in extreme environments.
The “1+3+1” Technical Architecture Helps Achieve a 20% Increase in Cruising Range
Benefiting from the systematic empowerment of the “1+3+1” innovative technical architecture, the light trucks equipped with the Kunshi chassis have achieved a breakthrough in cruising range performance in the industry. In the scenario of platform order receiving with a daily driving distance of 300 kilometers, the cruising range of the Kunshi chassis van with a 100-kWh battery has increased by more than 20% compared with the industry level, covering a wider driving range and enabling more order receiving opportunities. With high efficiency and low power consumption, it can save nearly 30 yuan in electricity costs per day, bringing significant economic benefits. The commercial vehicle products built based on the Kunshi chassis solution will be launched in June and July, which is bound to bring a brand-new change to the industry!
Looking Ahead, Cooperation for Win-win Results
Synland has always been committed to becoming a world-leading zero-carbon system solution provider. Driven by technological innovation and guided by user needs, it provides partners with continuously innovative high-value solutions. In the future, Synland will continue to work hand in hand with ecological partners to jointly build an open, collaborative, and win-win intelligent vehicle manufacturing ecosystem. In this ecological oasis, we will jointly reap the rich fruits of new energy commercial vehicles. The commercial vehicle solution of the Kunshi chassis of Synland makes its commitments a reality with strength and makes the future promising with innovation.
