FAW Jiefang: A Cradle of Industry and a Pioneer in Intelligent and Low-Carbon Development

I. Brand Foundation: The "Liberation" Imprint of China's Automotive Industry FAW Jiefang's history is a microcosm of China's truck industry—in 1953, the First Automobile Works was founded in Changchun; in 1956, the first Jiefang CA10 truck rolled off the production line, ending China's history of "not being able to manufacture automobiles" and beginning the journey of independent heavy-duty trucks. After 69 years of development, FAW Jiefang has built a full-category product matrix encompassing heavy, medium, light, micro, and new trucks. As of 2025, its cumulative sales exceeded 12 million units, ranking first in the domestic heavy-duty truck market for 20 consecutive years. Its global business covers more than 130 countries and regions, making it the first domestic commercial vehicle brand to reach the "ten million unit level." From the "national truck" of the planned economy era to today's "smart logistics solutions provider," it has consistently led the industry's development. II. Product Matrix: Comprehensive Transportation Solutions Covering All Scenarios FAW Jiefang deeply understands the operational needs of different industries and has developed differentiated models around three core scenarios: "trunk logistics, engineering construction, and urban distribution." Each product has undergone rigorous testing in high-altitude, high-cold, and high-temperature environments: 1. Fuel-Powered Heavy Trucks: Industry Benchmarks of Efficiency and Reliability Jiefang J7 High-End Trunk Tractor Truck: Positioned for the global high-end logistics market, it is equipped with Jiefang Power's CA6DM3 engine (maximum 660 horsepower, 3200 N·m torque) and Jiefang's self-developed AMT transmission, forming a "golden powertrain." Its fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 2-2.5L lower than similar models, and its B10 life exceeds 2 million kilometers. The cab features a "flat floor + wraparound dashboard" design, equipped with a 12.3-inch intelligent central control screen and aviation-grade air-suspension seats. In 2024, it secured over 1000 bulk orders from logistics companies such as SF Express and JD.com, becoming the "efficiency king" of trunk logistics. The FAW JH6 heavy-duty dump truck is designed for heavy-duty scenarios in mining areas and infrastructure projects. It features a four-layer high-strength frame (with a load capacity of up to 65 tons) and is equipped with a FAW CA6DL3 engine (characterized by high torque at low speeds, delivering a maximum torque of 2300 N·m at 1200-1600 rpm). The cargo box is made of wear-resistant high-strength steel (3.5 mm thick), extending its service life by 60% compared to ordinary cargo boxes. In early 2025, this model secured an order for 500 units from the State Energy Group for mining transportation, becoming the preferred heavy-duty truck model for mining areas in China. Jiefang Tiger VH Urban Delivery Truck: Focusing on urban agricultural and sideline product and supermarket distribution, the vehicle features a lightweight design (weighing only 4.8 tons) and is equipped with a Jiefang Power CA4DB1 engine (130 horsepower) and a low-ratio rear axle, achieving a fuel consumption as low as 14L per 100 kilometers. The cab is 1.9 meters wide and equipped with a reversing camera and tire pressure monitoring. In the first half of 2025, its sales in the urban delivery market increased by 38% year-on-year, firmly ranking first in the segment. 2. Intelligent and New Energy Heavy Trucks: A Pioneer in Low-Carbon Transition FAW Jiefang is one of the earliest companies in China to deploy new energy heavy trucks, forming a three-track parallel development pattern of "pure electric, hybrid, and hydrogen fuel cell": Jiefang J7 Pure Electric Tractor: Designed for short-distance transportation in ports and industrial parks, it is equipped with a 420kWh high-capacity lithium iron phosphate battery pack, with a range of up to 260km. It supports 1-hour fast charging (to 80%), with a maximum motor power of 400kW and a torque of 3500N・m. 300 units were delivered to Tianjin Port in 2024 for container transshipment, saving over 150,000 yuan in annual electricity costs per vehicle compared to fuel-powered vehicles. 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. Upgraded safety protection system: Adopting a "high-strength cage-type body + crumple zone energy absorption structure" design, the body's torsional strength reaches 19,000 N·m/°. Combined with Jiefang's proprietary WEVB exhaust brake (braking power up to 350kW) and ESP 9.3 vehicle stability system, the emergency braking distance is shortened by 4 meters compared to the industry average. The cab's "collision rearward shift" technology (maximum rearward shift of 600mm) can increase the survival rate of passengers by 60%. IV.
