On June 22, the first stop of Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles’ national tasting event for “Dongfeng Express · Express Value” express tractors officially kicked off in Weifang. Focusing on the express delivery segment, the event aims to more accurately convey product advantages and promote efficient cost reduction and value upgrading for industry customers. Liu Feng, Chief Engineer of the Industry Customer Development Department of the Marketing Division of Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles Co., Ltd., Mo Run, Head of the Express Industry Customer Development Section of the Industry Customer Development Department, Zhao Qiang, Head of the Shandong Commercial Office, and express logistics customer representatives from the Shandong region gathered at the site to deeply experience the performance and operational value of the Dongfeng Tianlong KL express tractor in trunk transportation scenarios.
Focusing on Demand Changes and Anchoring Express Scenarios
In recent years, the express transportation industry has continued to enter a fast track, with trunk transportation routes continuously extending and operational shifts increasing. Vehicles are facing higher-intensity attendance challenges and cost control pressures. Facing this market change, Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles keeps up with industry trends, focuses on customer pain points and actual scenarios, and will hold a series of “Dongfeng Express · Express Value” customer tasting activities. Centering on key express logistics hub cities across the country, it will carry out on-site exchanges and scenario-based experiences. Through a trinity of product display, operational verification, and customer co-creation, it will systematically convey product value to customers and provide overall solutions closer to front-line operational needs.
Weifang, located at the hub of the Jiaodong Peninsula, is an important distribution center for express logistics in Shandong Province, undertaking key trunk transportation tasks connecting the north and south and linking Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei. High-intensity operation, long-distance transportation, and frequent route turnover are the daily operation norm of local express enterprises and a severe test of vehicle performance. Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles’ choice to launch the tasting “first shot” here is not only an accurate judgment of the regional market but also a firm confidence in its own product strength.
The event site carried out multiple links such as vehicle tasting, test drive experience, product value explanation, and customer interaction and question answering, systematically demonstrating the comprehensive advantages of Dongfeng express tractors in energy conservation, reliability, and driving comfort. At the same time, for on-site customers, Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles also launched exclusive preferential policies to further stimulate ordering interest. Through immersive experience and in-depth communication, customers have a more intuitive and comprehensive understanding and recognition of product performance.
“To meet everyone’s needs for efficient and reliable transportation tools, we have carefully prepared this tasting meeting,” Liu Feng said at the event. “Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles has always adhered to the concept of ‘everything comes from reliability’, continued to innovate, always put customer needs first, and is committed to providing customers with transportation solutions that meet their needs. We not only provide reliable products but also build a comprehensive service system to solve problems for everyone throughout the process from purchase consultation to after-sales service. I hope that through this tasting meeting, everyone can deeply understand the charm of Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles’ express models and find the ideal model suitable for their own business.”
Opening up Trunk Routes and Empowering Express Efficiency
At this Weifang customer tasting meeting, Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles exhibited two trunk transportation models carefully built for express transportation scenarios: the Dongfeng Tianlong KL fuel tractor and the Dongfeng Tianlong KL gas tractor. The two models respectively fit different regional markets and customer operation strategies, providing strong transportation support for the high-intensity operation of express enterprises.
Among them, the Dongfeng Tianlong KL fuel tractor is equipped with a Loong-Gine DDi11 engine, an 11L golden displacement, 490 horsepower, and a peak torque of up to 2300N·m, which outputs efficiently and stably in the economic range of 1000-1400 revolutions; matched with a DA12 integrated automatic transmission, relying on smarter and smoother shifting logic, it brings lower driving fatigue. The whole vehicle integrates 10 fuel-saving technologies, and the fuel consumption is reduced by 8-10% compared with similar products, effectively helping customers reduce costs and increase efficiency.
The Dongfeng Tianlong KL gas tractor is equipped with a Loong-Gine DGi13 engine, with a maximum of 520 horsepower and a torque output of 2400N·m, with sufficient power reserve, more calm in adapting to heavy loads and complex road conditions; adopting a back-mounted double-cylinder layout, the single-vehicle cylinder volume is up to 3000L, and the whole vehicle has a range of more than 3500 kilometers, meeting the higher requirements of long-distance trunks for range, and significantly reducing the frequency of energy replenishment to improve transportation efficiency.
Both models adopt the high-integration design of the Loong-Gine power chain, with high chain integration and excellent transmission efficiency. Combined with active safety systems such as ESC and hill assist, as well as comfortable configurations such as high-top double berths, air seats, and electric air conditioners, they fully guarantee the driving experience and operational safety.
“Dongfeng Express・Express Value” is a precise attack by Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles based on the express delivery segment. By approaching customers, regional markets, and actual operation scenarios, Dongfeng express tractors hope to comprehensively transfer product value, service capabilities, and operational advantages to front-line users, helping customers improve transportation efficiency and business benefits. In the next two weeks, the national tasting event will successively enter nine key express cities such as Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Huai’an, Chengdu, Wuhan, Changsha, Zhengzhou, Shanghai, and Jinan, continue to deepen around typical routes and typical customers, comprehensively consolidate the leading position of products in the express transportation field, help customers stay one step ahead and win in the present, and make all-out efforts to sprint to the new peak of the 2025 express market.
