Military industry heritage sets a benchmark: Dongfeng Heavy Truck's path to intelligent globalization.

I. Brand Foundation: From Cradle of Military Industry to Leader of Independent Heavy Trucks Dongfeng Heavy Truck's history begins with its military-industrial roots, established in Shiyan in 1969. As one of the founders of China's commercial vehicle industry, its first truck, the "Dongfeng EQ140," filled the gap in the domestic medium-sized heavy-duty truck market. After more than 50 years of development, Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles has built a complete product system covering heavy, medium, and light trucks. As of 2025, its cumulative sales exceeded 8 million units, with global business covering more than 170 countries and regions. It has maintained a top-three market share in the domestic heavy truck market for 12 consecutive years, becoming a core representative of China's independent heavy trucks "going global." From the "national truck" of the planned economy era to the "intelligent logistics solutions provider" of the market economy, Dongfeng has always driven industry transformation through independent innovation. II. Product Matrix: Scenario-Customized Full-Domain Transportation Solutions Dongfeng deeply understands the operational pain points of different industries and has created a differentiated product matrix around three core scenarios: "trunk logistics, engineering construction, and special operations." Each model has been validated under extreme working conditions: 1. Fuel-Powered Heavy Trucks: A Dual Benchmark of Reliability and Efficiency Dongfeng Tianlong KL Tractor Truck: Positioned for long-haul, high-efficiency logistics, equipped with a Dongfeng Cummins Z14 engine (maximum 600 horsepower, torque 2750 N·m), paired with a Fast 12-speed AMT transmission. Its fuel consumption is 1.5-2L per 100km lower than similar models, and its B10 life reaches 1.5 million kilometers. At the 2025 Saudi Arabia new product launch, the KL model, optimized for the high-temperature, high-load conditions of the Middle East, with its reinforced chassis and sand-proof cooling system, became the main vehicle for Saudi oil transportation. Dongfeng Hercules KC Dump Truck: Designed for heavy-duty scenarios in mining areas and infrastructure projects, it features a three-layer reinforced frame (with a load capacity of up to 50 tons), a DCI 385-51 engine (characterized by high torque at low speeds), and a customizable cargo box size of 8600×945×2350mm to meet various heavy-duty requirements. In early 2025, this model secured an order from Chinalco's Guinea mining area, becoming the preferred heavy-duty mining truck in West Africa. Dongfeng Tianjin KR Cargo Truck: Focused on intercity logistics, it features a lightweight body design (7.5 tons), a Dongfeng DDi75 engine (350 horsepower), and a low-ratio rear axle, achieving a fuel consumption as low as 20L per 100km. The cab adopts a 2.3-meter wide-body design, equipped with an air-suspension seat and a 10-inch smart screen, balancing efficiency and comfort. Sales in the intercity logistics market increased by 32% year-on-year in the first half of 2025. 2. Intelligent and New Energy Heavy Trucks: A Pioneer in Technological Breakthroughs Dongfeng is a pioneer in the commercialization of intelligent heavy trucks in China, forming a dual-track layout of "intelligent fuel + new energy": Dongfeng Tianlong Intelligent Heavy Truck: Developed in collaboration with Inceptio Technology, it is equipped with the Xuanyuan Intelligent Driving System and a "triple perception" hardware suite consisting of lidar, millimeter-wave radar, and high-definition cameras. It supports L2+ level assisted driving, enabling automatic following, lane keeping, and emergency braking. In 2023, the first batch of 63 trucks was delivered to Yunyi Transportation, accumulating over 70 million kilometers of operation, making it the industry's largest single batch delivery case of intelligent heavy trucks. Dongfeng EV350 Pure Electric Dump Truck: Designed for urban engineering scenarios, it features a 350kWh lithium iron phosphate battery pack, offering a range of up to 200km. It supports 1.5-hour fast charging, has a maximum motor power of 360kW, and a torque of 2800N・m. In 2024, 150 units were procured for infrastructure projects in Shenzhen, resulting in annual electricity costs per vehicle saving over 100,000 yuan compared to gasoline vehicles. Dongfeng Hydrogen Fuel Cell Tractor: Developed in conjunction with Dongfeng Yuexiang, it features a 110kW hydrogen fuel cell system with hydrogen consumption as low as 9kg/100km and a range of up to 500km. Refueling takes only 15 minutes. By 2025, it had already been put into operation in hydrogen energy demonstration cities such as Wuhan and Zhangjiakou, promoting the zero-carbon transformation of heavy-duty trucks. III. Core Technologies: The Core of Independent Innovation and Intelligent Integration Dongfeng's technological competitiveness stems from the dual advantages of "military-grade reliability + cutting-edge technology empowerment": **Independent Control of the Powertrain:** Exclusively equipped with Dongfeng Cummins engines (maximum thermal efficiency of 54.2%) and Fast gearboxes, achieving a transmission efficiency of up to 99.5%, combined with Dongfeng Dana rear axles, forming a "golden powertrain." The Z14 engine can achieve a 100,000 km oil change interval, reducing maintenance time by 40%. **Industry-Leading Intelligent Driving:** All high-end models come standard with the "Dongfeng Intelligent Connectivity" system, supporting L2+ level assisted driving. Nearly 700 intelligent heavy-duty trucks have been delivered in long-haul logistics scenarios, covering over 100 logistics routes, reducing the accident rate by 60% compared to manual driving. Upgraded safety protection system: Adopting a "cage-type body + high-strength steel" design, the body's torsional strength reaches 16000N・m/°. Combined with WEVB exhaust braking (braking power 300kW) and ESP stability system, the emergency braking distance is shortened by 3 meters compared to the industry average. The "collision rearward shift" technology in the cab can improve the survival rate of passengers by 50%. IV. Global Layout and Service System: From Local Cultivation to Global Trust
