FAW JH6 Hybrid Truck: Designed for intercity logistics, it adopts an "engine + motor" parallel hybrid system. It operates with pure electric drive at low speeds (≤45km/h) and direct engine drive at high speeds. Combined fuel consumption is 30% lower than gasoline vehicles, and its range exceeds 1200km, addressing the "range anxiety" of pure electric vehicles. It is expected to become the main intercity transportation vehicle for Deppon Logistics by 2025. FAW J6F Hydrogen Fuel Cell Light Truck: Developed in collaboration with Yihuatong, it features a 60kW hydrogen fuel cell system with hydrogen consumption as low as 1.2kg/100km and a range of up to 300km. Refueling takes only 10 minutes. It will be put into operation in hydrogen energy demonstration cities such as Changchun and Qingdao in 2024. In 2025, in cooperation with Sinopec, it will be deployed in batches to the urban delivery sector, promoting the commercialization of hydrogen fuel cell light trucks. III. Core Technologies: The "Jiefang Code" of Independent Innovation FAW Jiefang's technological competitiveness stems from "independent control over the entire industrial chain," with 100% independent R&D of key core technologies: Independent Control of the Powertrain: Exclusively equipped with Jiefang Power engines (with a maximum thermal efficiency of 55.2%, breaking industry records) and Jiefang's independently developed AMT transmission (with a transmission efficiency of up to 99.8%), combined with Jiefang Dana rear axles, forming the "Jiefang Powertrain"; among them, the CA6DM3 engine can achieve a long oil change cycle of 150,000 kilometers, reducing maintenance time by 60% and significantly improving operational efficiency. Leading the industry in intelligent driving: All high-end models come standard with the "Jiefang Smart Brain 2.0" system, supporting L2+ level assisted driving (including adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, and lane centering). Some models offer an optional "LiDAR + high-precision map" fusion solution, enabling "hands-free driving" on closed highways. The J7 Smart Edition, launched in 2024, has achieved routine operation on more than 10 trunk logistics routes in China, accumulating over 120 million kilometers of safe driving.
