New achievements in product transition Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle has achieved fruitful results

With the successful opening ceremony, the 9th Science and Technology Innovation Week was officially launched. This Science and Technology Innovation Week has three core exhibition areas: vehicle area, technology area, and cultural and creative boutique area, covering the fields of vehicle, engine, platform architecture, parts, etc. Dongfeng R&D Institute, Mengshi Technology, Lantu Automobile, Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle, Dongfeng Technology, and Zhixin Technology under Dongfeng Motor Corporation all showed their latest technological achievements. Adhering to the innovation-driven concept and relying on the "technological leap" strategy, Dongfeng Motor Corporation takes original technology as the core, promotes the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, accelerates product upgrades, strengthens market competitiveness, and lays a solid foundation for corporate development in the wave of scientific and technological innovation.

At this exhibition, Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles brought 8 exhibits covering the new Longqing power chain, including Longqing Power DGi13 gas engine, Longqing Power DA12 transmission, Longqing "Green Intelligence Double Wings" unified multi-energy platform ammonia diesel engine and ethanol diesel engine, as well as autonomous intelligent driving vehicle controller, second-generation new energy vehicle controller, powertrain domain controller and commercial vehicle integrity center, presenting to the general public the technological leap forward of Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles towards the high-end, green and intelligent transformation and upgrading of the industry.

 

 

It is worth mentioning that in order to adapt to the changes and development trends of future energy technologies, the unified multi-energy platform engine exhibited by Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle has achieved the expansion of 16L diesel engines to 13/14/15L displacement through the common platform of basic engine, combustion, control, post-processing, braking, manufacturing and other technologies. The common rate of engine parts for five energy routes such as diesel, natural gas and gas HPDI, ammonia, methanol, and hydrogen has reached more than 80%, significantly reducing the time and cost required for the development of new engines. The platform integrates high-precision power cylinder technology, intelligent thermal management technology, low-pressure lubrication technology, low-flow resistance and high-efficiency pulse supercharging technology, high-efficiency engine technology, ultra-low balance rate crankshaft technology, second-generation counter-flow enhanced cooling technology and other full-flat applications, creating a solid foundation for the power and economy of various energy engines, achieving a maximum power of 760Ps for diesel engines, a power per liter of 35.89kW/L and a specific power of 0.53kW/kg, both of which are at the international leading level, and a thermal efficiency of 50%.

 

 

In addition, the three Dongfeng Tianjin exhibition vehicles also attracted the attention of many visitors. In response to customer demands for lightweight, timeliness and safety of pure electric commercial vehicles, Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle exhibited the Dongfeng Tianjin KR pure electric lightweight truck, which adopts a new integrated vehicle architecture, a chassis weight reduction rate of 20%, and vehicle preparation to achieve the same weight as electric vehicles and oil vehicles, greatly improving transportation efficiency and cruising range, and improving the full life cycle value and product performance of electric trucks; Dongfeng Tianjin KR matches hydrogen internal combustion engine truck, equipped with Cummins B6.7H hydrogen internal combustion engine, D560 PLUS high-top cab, 8JS manual transmission, engine torque reaches 1200N m, powerful power, strong timeliness, near zero emission, clean and environmentally friendly; Dongfeng Tianjin unmanned intelligent new energy sanitation vehicle, with L2+ level unmanned driving capability, based on multi-sensor fusion, perception and cognition of the surrounding environment, combined with driving situation map and global behavior motion planning, control algorithm, precise vehicle control, to meet the unmanned sanitation operations within 50 kilometers of the city, functional characteristics reach the international leading level.
