Building Consensus Media Symposium Interprets the Green Intelligence Future.

　　After systematically understanding Dongfeng Trucks' core R&D system, everyone came to the symposium with more expectations and curiosity. Xiang Xusheng, Assistant General Manager of Dongfeng Trucks and Center Director of the Technical Center, attended the symposium with the core technical team. 14 technical experts engaged in two-way in-depth exchanges with 18 mainstream industry media outlets and leading KOLs. The meeting was moderated by Zhao Jinsu, Chief Brand Communication Specialist of the Dongfeng Trucks Marketing Planning Center. Both sides conducted pragmatic and in-depth discussions around core topics such as R&D strategy, intelligent driving, new energy technology, and user value.

　　Discussion on R&D Strategy and Underlying Philosophy. Several media outlets, including Transporter Network, successively raised questions on top-level topics such as R&D pace, globalization layout, diversified technology routes, and digital-intelligent R&D. Experts including Xiang Xusheng, Xing Hongyan, Chief Engineer of the Verification Platform, and Qian Yarong, Section Chief of the Big Data Development and Application Office of the Customer Value Development Department, responded respectively. The core message conveyed Dongfeng's R&D logic: adhering to the bottom line that "everything originates from reliability," implementing the three-generation layout of "pre-research one generation, improve one generation, launch one generation," with future R&D resources tilted toward front-end technology; positioning the Green Intelligence Platform as a global vehicle model, steadily advancing overseas expansion after full domestic verification; defining "reliable" and "durable" based on million-level real vehicle operating condition data, rejecting ineffective performance redundancy; laying out seven major energy technology routes, advancing according to the rhythm of "ammonia leading, hydrogen following, methanol tracking"; building a big data system to feed back into R&D and implementing AI technology for efficiency improvement; focusing on three major strategic segments in the future—domestic, overseas, and new energy—and opening up the ecosystem to fill shortcomings.

　　In-depth Analysis of Intelligent Driving Layout and Evolution. China Truck Network, First Commercial Vehicle Network, and Commercial Vehicle New Network successively raised questions on key topics such as intelligent driving safety redundancy design, high-level intelligent driving self-development planning, cost control, and scenario-based implementation. Xiang Xusheng and Li Yang, Expert Chief Engineer of Intelligent Software Systems of the Intelligent Connected Development Department, jointly responded. Xiang Xusheng clearly stated: "Safety is the cornerstone of new energy vehicles and also the conscience bottom line of engineering technicians." Safety is the technical bottom line. Dongfeng Trucks' testing standards are far stricter than the industry. Intelligent driving adopts a three-tier layout of "basic functions self-developed + high-level solutions through cooperation + closed-scenario implementation"; self-developed L2-level multi-lane functions have completed extensive verification, highway NOA will be launched next year, and L4 in closed scenarios has achieved commercialization; the goal is to control the cost of pure intelligent driving systems within five figures, and subsequently launch differentiated versions for different transportation scenarios such as express delivery, cold chain, and general cargo, staying close to users' price anchors and actual operational needs.

　　Analysis of Core New Energy Technology Breakthroughs. Several other media outlets successively raised questions on core technical topics such as the commercialization prospects of hydrogen energy, fuel cell technology breakthroughs, pure electric three-electric safety design, electronic control integration reliability, and pure electric product strategy. Xiang Xusheng, Li Miao, Chief Engineer of Tractor Technology of the Platform Product Development Department, Deng Guangrong, Expert Chief Engineer of Fuel Cell System Development of the New Energy Development Department, Li Qingxin, Deputy Director of the New Energy Development Department, and Li Chundong, Expert Chief Engineer of New Energy Electronic Control Technology of the New Energy Development Department, responded respectively. The core points were clarified: hydrogen energy is the core strategic direction, with the goal of achieving commercialization without subsidies by the end of the 15th Five-Year Plan period; 300kW single-stack fuel cell technology is industry-leading, improving range through multiple paths such as reducing hydrogen consumption and upgrading stacks; pure electric models are equipped with flat-bottom liquid-cooled batteries and multiple safety protections, adopting an eight-in-one domain control integrated architecture to reduce failure rates; the eight-in-one electronic control is a universal design for the entire platform, with modularization balancing reliability and maintenance economy; batteries adopt a modular expandable design, and currently the energy consumption of tractors can be controlled within 110 kWh per 100 kilometers, at an industry-leading level. Not deliberately stacking battery capacity and range parameters is out of consideration for user value, guiding users to choose configurations suitable for their own scenarios and focusing on the operational value of every kilowatt-hour and every inch of space.

　　Discussion on User Value and Commercial Implementation. Media successively raised questions on pragmatic topics such as the purchasing funding pressure of small and medium-sized enterprises, full lifecycle TCO, and platform user value. Li Qingxin, Deputy Director of the New Energy Development Department, and Xing Hongyan, Chief Engineer of the Verification Platform, responded respectively. The core points were clarified: on the product side, coverage includes charging, battery swapping, and hydrogen energy multi-technology route adaptation scenarios, with supporting solutions such as vehicle-battery separation and financial leasing launched to lower the purchasing threshold, and vehicle residual value enhanced through long-life design, battery cascading utilization, and a used vehicle replacement system; the value brought to users by the new Green Intelligence Platform can be summarized as "more, faster, better, and more economical," balancing loading capacity, operational timeliness, driving experience, and maintenance costs, effectively helping users reduce costs and increase efficiency.

　　The entire symposium featured candid communication on top-level strategy, in-depth dismantling of technical details, and pragmatic responses on user value, allowing industry media to form a clearer understanding of Dongfeng Trucks' technical logic and R&D philosophy, and also laying an industry consensus foundation for the subsequent in-depth dissemination of the new Green Intelligence Platform.

Test Rides and Test Drives Full-Scenario Verification of Product Hard Strength.

　　The persuasiveness of technology must ultimately land on real product experience. In the afternoon of the same day, media guests moved to the dedicated test drive site of the Technical Center to conduct immersive test rides and test drives of four core models of the Green Intelligence Platform, moving from paper specifications to real perception. This test ride and test drive covered three major energy routes: gas, pure electric, and hydrogen, gathering four core products: the Dongfeng Tianlong KX gas tractor, Tianlong KH pure electric tractor, Tianlong KH hydrogen tractor, and Tianjin KR pure electric special vehicle, comprehensively demonstrating the technology implementation results of the new Green Intelligence Platform. Media guests participating in the test drives conducted in-depth experiences from multiple dimensions such as power response, handling smoothness, ride comfort, and safety configurations, giving positive recognition to product performance and gaining a more concrete and deeper understanding of Dongfeng Trucks' full-scenario, full-energy product layout capability.

　　From the implementation of R&D positions to deep technical consensus, and then to real-scenario product verification, this "Green Intelligence New Horizon" Media Sharing Session was not only a continuation of the new Green Intelligence Platform launch event, but also a deepening of value cognition. Standing at a critical juncture in the green and intelligent transformation of the commercial vehicle industry, Dongfeng Trucks is leading the industry from concept racing to value implementation with systematic R&D capability, a full-scenario product matrix, and an open and win-win industry posture.
