Zhang Xiaofan Delivers a Speech

In his speech, Zhang Xiaofan noted that this year marks the 70th anniversary of the rollout of the "JIEFANG CA10," the first automobile of New China. Over the past 70 years, China FAW has always cultivated international cooperation with an open attitude, deeply integrated into the global automotive industry division system, and continuously injected Chinese momentum into the development of the world automotive industry. JIEFANG is the root of development and source of foundation for China FAW. After 70 years of deep cultivation in its commercial vehicle main business, it has achieved coordination across all routes: oil, gas, hydrogen, electric, and hybrid; and full-scenario adaptation for heavy, medium, light, micro, and bus vehicles. Its products have reached 115 countries and regions worldwide, with cumulative production and sales of nearly 10 million vehicles. Standing at the era's forefront of global commercial vehicle green transformation and intelligent innovation, FAW JIEFANG is transforming at full speed into a green and intelligent transportation solution provider, and striding firmly toward a century-old commercial vehicle brand led by technology, green and low-carbon, and serving the world. At this exhibition, FAW JIEFANG presents its latest technological achievements and solutions, exploring with industry partners the infinite possibilities of green and intelligent transportation. It sincerely welcomes all guests and partners to stop by, appreciate, engage in in-depth exchanges, explore business opportunities, and discuss the future.

Forward-Looking Launch, Intelligently Leading the Future.

Li Sheng Releases the TL.X Forward-Looking Concept Truck

Li Sheng said that at this IAA, the theme "WE DELIVER" is highly consistent with FAW JIEFANG's development philosophy. "WE" represents that FAW JIEFANG always stands on the overall industrial situation, collaborates with upstream and downstream industry chain partners, and provides complete solutions around users' full lifecycle needs. "DELIVER" is FAW JIEFANG's eternal pursuit. From 1956 to 2026 and then to 2036, FAW JIEFANG has always been committed to "Craftsmanship Reaches Afar, Delivering the Next Journey." At this auto show, FAW JIEFANG brings a batch of mature, deliverable mass-production products, covering multiple energy routes including diesel, NG, hybrid, battery electric, and hydrogen, and including multiple vehicle types such as tractors, cargo trucks, dump trucks, and special-purpose vehicles, meeting European users' multi-scenario needs with solid strength.

Li Sheng Releases the TL.X Forward-Looking Concept Truck

As the highlight of FAW JIEFANG's booth activities, Li Sheng grandly released the TL.X forward-looking concept truck.

Li Sheng pointed out that in the future, AI technology will empower all industries, carbon neutrality pressure will become increasingly severe, and the "people, vehicles, goods, roads, cloud" transportation industry ecosystem will place higher demands on vehicles. Facing the three major transformation mainlines of intelligentization, greening, and ecologization, FAW JIEFANG is committed to exploring three common industry challenges: "How can heritage endure and be renewed amid the collision between historical inheritance and the tide of technology?" "How can a flexible complete vehicle architecture meet personalized needs for multiple power options and driving/riding spaces?" "How can operating returns and driving/riding quality be balanced?" TL.X is a forward-looking concept truck launched by FAW JIEFANG for 2036, reflecting deep thinking on "how to deliver higher value" for the future of commercial vehicles. "T" comes from Tron, the common root of FAW JIEFANG overseas products, and is the brand's exclusive identifier; "L" stands for Leading, conveying FAW JIEFANG's pursuit of advancing industry progress with leading technology; "X" symbolizes opening up infinite possibilities for the future logistics and transportation industry. Using the TL.X forward-looking concept truck as a carrier, FAW JIEFANG anchors on the three major directions of "heritage renewal, personalized customization, and whole-vehicle intelligence," solving each challenge one by one, achieving "paying tribute to the classics and inspiring new life," realizing "space freedom" and "energy freedom," and completing "intelligent interaction, intelligent execution, and intelligent evolution."

Li Sheng emphasized that FAW JIEFANG will, from the three dimensions of "sharing, co-creation, and win-win," build the TL.X forward-looking concept truck into an open and shared technology ecosystem platform. Facing the global commercial vehicle industry, FAW JIEFANG will also uphold the original aspiration of "Craftsmanship Reaches Afar," continuously delivering Chinese solutions and JIEFANG strength full of creativity and warmth.

Mass Production Delivery, Global Quality.

CORTRON CS产品品鉴会

CORTRON CS

On the afternoon of that day, FAW JIEFANG held a CORTRON CS product appreciation event at its booth. CORTRON CS is built on FAW JIEFANG's seventh-generation heavy truck platform and will soon enter the European market and be officially delivered. Bernhard, an expert from FAW JIEFANG's Austria R&D Center, used the CS600 and CS600XXL diesel tractors and the CS925 battery electric tractor on site at the exhibition hall to introduce the product features of CORTRON CS. Hans Deinhof, ECS test engineer; Des O'Regan, R&D head of ZF; and dealer Mark Orby shared in turn their testing and usage experience with CORTRON CS, corroborating from a third-party perspective that CORTRON CS's product strength is comparable to top European heavy trucks.
