What is the use of a heavy truck with a bullet on the front of the truck? No matter how small the wind resistance is, how small can it be? The shape is more advanced than that of the Tesla SEMI? When the electronic rearview mirror and the aircraft suspension door appear on a truck together, who would have thought that this was manufactured by FAW Jiefang, the big brother of China's commercial vehicle industry? FAW Jiefang, which occupies a large share of the market with mature and reliable technology, also has this cutting-edge technology? The truck E family predicts that this bullet heavy truck will be the "finishing touch" for cardholders of trunk transportation.
After more than 365 days of repeated grinding and scrutiny by a technical team of dozens of people, dozens of simulation iterations have continuously optimized the design details. Create a "futuristic concept" with innovative designs and new accessories.
The wind resistance of 0.24 appears on heavy trucks, which seems to be a bit of a fool's dream. The industry's general wind resistance of 0.5-0.6, why can FAW Jiefang achieve such a low? FAW Jiefang and Shell, the technical personnel of both sides have achieved an industry-leading 0.24 ultra-low wind resistance through aerodynamic kits to reduce air channels, optimize the shape of the front and body parts, and reduce the pressure difference between the front and rear of the body, which is far better than ordinary heavy trucks and even surpasses some SUV passenger cars.
At the same time, in order to be able to truly "fly close to the ground", the chassis diversion kit and air suspension are combined on the chassis.
The automatic opening and closing of the rear wing and the electronic rearview mirror all contribute to the reduction of fluid resistance. In addition to these, carbon fiber materials and groundbreaking innovations in the use of automatic ladder doors on trucks combine technology and modernity, achieving a unique shape design that perfectly blends beauty and practicality.
In addition to the pursuit of ultra-low drag, the Star Concept truck features ConMet maintenance-free wheel ends. The long-life, maintenance-free nature of ConMet wheel ends provides significant benefits for driving stability, safety, and economy. FAW Jiefang and ConMet have in-depth cooperation on maintenance-free wheel ends to jointly explore the future of China's commercial vehicle industry and lead China's commercial vehicles to the Rising Sun Avenue.
"The Star Domain Concept Truck is the ultimate model explored by FAW Jiefang and Shell as practitioners and with true knowledge and hard work. Guo Ping, vice president of FAW Jiefang Commercial Vehicle Development Institute, said. The leading technology of the Star Domain Concept Truck will also be gradually applied to daily road transportation, which means that FAW Jiefang and Shell will continue to jointly explore the future path of China's road transport industry with advanced concepts and leading technologies, and bring lower energy consumption and more efficient solutions to the industry.
It is reported that on April 28, the Star Field Concept Truck will be put into road testing, and the Joint Research Center will also be unveiled.
