FAW Jiefang opens a new chapter of development with innovative technologies

As the "eldest son of China's automotive industry", FAW Jiefang always keeps in mind General Secretary Xi Jinping's earnest instruction of "mastering the key and core technologies in our own hands and promoting the development of national automotive brands". It takes innovation-driven development as the main engine of the enterprise's growth and responds to the changes of the times with an innovative layout.

In 2020, FAW Jiefang released the "13586" scientific and technological development plan, establishing that the "Jiefang Chuangling" technology brand will drive innovation. Focusing on three major technical fields, namely new energy, intelligent networking, and traditional technologies, it creates three independent innovation technology routes: "Blue Journey", "Intelligent Journey", and "Beneficial Journey", and has achieved a series of fruitful independently controllable technological achievements.

Blue Path Technology Drives Green Development

FAW Jiefang actively implements the country's "dual carbon" strategy. In September 2021, it released the "15333" new energy strategy, sounding the "charge" for the transformation to new energy. In recent years, FAW Jiefang has continuously adhered to the development of electrification and low-carbonization, deeply understood and grasped the development concept of "resource conservation and environmental friendliness". Adhering to the principles of platformization, modularization, generalization, standardization and serialization, it focuses on power batteries, hydrogen fuel cells, electric drive systems and vehicle controllers, and conducts research and development on key core technologies such as flexible multi-platform vehicle architecture technology, system integration technology, and energy management technology. It spares no effort to create a clean and efficient product portfolio of pure electric, hybrid and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.

Under the guidance of the "Jiefang Blue Path" technology brand, FAW Jiefang has accelerated the exploration of zero-carbon fuel technology, achieving the first demonstration operation of a complete heavy-duty hydrogen engine vehicle in the industry, and it has been operating stably for over 11,000 kilometers.

In the field of new energy vehicle technology, FAW Jiefang has achieved comprehensive breakthroughs in core technologies, and built a technology platform for differentiated complete vehicles and fully independent core assemblies. The pure electric tractor vehicles have reached the leading level in the industry in terms of power consumption, lightweight design and other aspects, and the efficiency of the fully independent medium-sized electric drive axle has reached the world-class level.

Smart Path Technology Leads the Intelligent Transformation

Facing the intelligent development trend of transportation and logistics, with the development concept of "Smart Globally", FAW Jiefang focuses on the scene requirements of intelligent vehicle manufacturing, use, maintenance and servicing. It focuses on vehicle perception, decision-making and execution, and collaboratively researches and develops key core technologies such as intelligent driving and the Internet of Vehicles, so as to build a globally interconnected system.

Driven by the technology brand of "Jiefang Smart Path", through continuous technological innovation and accurate market insights, FAW Jiefang has achieved multiple breakthroughs in the field of intelligent driving. Currently, FAW Jiefang's self-developed L2-level high-end heavy-duty trucks have completed verification and been launched on the market, reaching the world-class level; the L2++-level intelligent vehicles have completed the functional verification of the actual vehicles; the application software of the L4-level factory area logistics vehicles is 100% self-developed, and the demonstration operation will be achieved by the end of 2025. In terms of the Internet of Vehicles technology, FAW Jiefang's intelligent diagnosis and repair has provided services for more than 1.5 million times, ranking leading in the industry; the big data platform has upgraded 4 functions, broken through 6 key technologies, and the accuracy rate of data analysis is over 93%, thus establishing an intelligent service system covering the entire life cycle of vehicles.

Benefit Path Technology Consolidates the Foundation of Quality

In the field of traditional vehicles, FAW Jiefang continues to be guided by user value. Driven by the technology brand of "Jiefang Benefit Path", it thoroughly implements the development concept of "creating value for users", and is committed to continuously improving users' perceived quality, usage experience and benefits. Focusing on the six major performances of vehicles, such as reliability, comfort and convenience, it researches and develops key core technologies, such as high-reliability and durability technology and systematic fuel-saving technology, and spares no effort to create more economical, safe, reliable and comfortable high-quality products.

In November 2024, the J7 Chuangling Edition was grandly launched in Guangzhou, fully demonstrating FAW Jiefang's pursuit of high - quality products. The promotion of technologies such as intelligent control of the power domain, the lowest wind resistance in the industry at the same level, standard - equipped L2, a B10 service life of 2 million kilometers, an oil - change interval of 1 million kilometers for the gearbox and axle, a "CN95" healthy cockpit, and an intelligent cockpit provides a guarantee for the continuous leadership of Jiefang's products and the construction of the competitiveness of Jiefang's products.

In 2025, facing the upcoming market changes and technical challenges in the commercial vehicle industry, FAW Jiefang will bravely shoulder the mission of independence, continue to deeply cultivate new energy and intelligent technologies, seize the technological high - ground through differentiated product layouts and independent technical advantages, enhance its core competitiveness, and be determined to strive unremittingly to become a "world - class automotive enterprise and a century - old national automotive brand", contributing to the construction of a powerful manufacturing country and a powerful transportation country.
