"We can achieve one person loss in long-distance trunk transport, while maintaining efficiency or higher."
Whether from the perspective of smart logistics or from the perspective of reducing the total cost of social logistics, intelligent driving must be an important trend in the development of the commercial vehicle industry. As the most high-end model under JAC Heavy Trucks, JAC has always been at the forefront of the industry across the K7, launching the L3-level K7 and researching and expanding at the L4 level. In the era of China VI TCO, autonomous vehicle models will also usher in development opportunities.
JAC's products across K7 are becoming more and more mature
In the past few years since its listing, JAC's growth and strength across the K7 have been evident to all, especially the customized design for various efficient logistics fields. The 4×2 model matches the "high-horsepower engine + automatic transmission + small speed ratio across the special bridge" to become a hot model in the field of express express transportation.
At the same time, the vehicle relies on the International Quality Alliance, the reliability has been improved, and the timeliness and attendance rate are very guaranteed. We can also see some other aspects of the K7 updates and upgrades: richer intelligent configuration to meet driving needs; 10.4-inch suspension screen, improve the driving experience; remove the air horn, reduce wind resistance, etc., all show K7's accurate control of the current market demand.
K7 expansion of autonomous driving at L4
JAC Heavy Truck and Zhijia Technology jointly launched the application of L4 level automatic driving technology on tractors. This JAC cross-K7 can realize intelligent driving functions such as automatic lane change and micro-obstacle avoidance in this lane, which can reduce the fatigue of drivers in long-distance transportation.
At the same time, if the entire car is regarded as a huge data terminal, then the L4 level of automatic driving will make the best judgment according to the current driving environment, improve efficiency and reduce fuel consumption by about 10%, and meet the dual needs of timeliness and economy.
It is worth mentioning that this JAC cross K7 is not only "different" in automatic driving technology, but also makes a deeper customization for the scene of intelligent transportation in the development of the whole vehicle, JAC Expedition is a new chassis platform built by JAC Heavy Truck based on automatic driving needs, using E/E architecture 4.0 technology.
In the era of software-defined vehicles, E/E architecture is the key to automotive intelligent networking. Optimize the line speed, control, communication and computing power of the K7 vehicle, providing strong support for the subsequent high degree of intelligence. In today's industry, which urgently pays attention to TCO, efficiency and quality, JAC will be more competitive under the blessing of JAC Expeditionary Platform and high-end automatic driving technology.
What is the level of K7 at the L3 mass production level?
Let's first take a look at the L3 level, sae driving automation classification" said that in 0-5 levels, L3 means that the vehicle can be to achieve conditional automatic driving, that is, in a specific, specified scenario of the vehicle autonomous driving, the driver is responsible for monitoring.
In addition to the exploration of the L4 level, the most attractive thing is the L3 level JAC, which is expected to be mass-produced in June-August 2022, across the K7. The car is an autonomous driving model for trunk logistics jointly developed by JAC Heavy Truck and Hongjing Intelligent Driving, and a large number of induction and camera information collection equipment can be seen from the appearance, which is very cleverly integrated with the domineering appearance of JAC across K7, and the appearance is still the same.
This JAC crosses the K7 "soft and hard", and the sensing device realizes the true sense of 360 ° car circumference no dead angle monitoring, to meet the cruising, intelligent follow-up, identification of front car insertion, alien recognition, lane keeping, automatic toll booth and other functions.
This means that in stable road conditions, the driver can enter the automatic driving mode, the vehicle will drive with the car, maintain the current lane, can identify other vehicles inserted in front of the car, and even cattle, cattle and sheep crossing the road, and automatically slow down or do other treatment for the above situations. In this process, the driver only needs to pay attention to the car condition, both hands can be separated from the steering wheel, due to the reduction of driving intensity, mature automatic driving can completely "lose a person" in the trunk transportation, reasonable transportation planning and time control can improve transportation efficiency.
Labor cost savings, intelligent driving saves fuel costs, time management and transportation network optimization reduce operating costs, and L3 level K7 can also bring lower TCO.
From the research on automatic driving that began 20 years ago, to the upcoming mass production of L3-level autonomous driving heavy truck JAC across K7, smart heavy trucks will surely become the key to changing the future transportation industry and changing the working mode of China's thousands of card friends.
