In-depth study of the fourth generation of chassis technology to master the key technology of the chassis
Commercial vehicles are the foundation of China's automobile industry and an important support for national construction and economic operation. If the core of commercial vehicles is the chassis, then the chassis manufacturing expert is JAC 1 truck. JAC Group originated from light trucks and chassis, and chassis technology is the foundation of JAC 1 truck. Over the past 60 years, JAC 1 has adhered to the "chassis spirit", sought leadership in the reform of the old and the new, mastered the key technology of the chassis, and deeply studied the fourth-generation chassis, which has effectively promoted the technological upgrading and product progress of commercial vehicles.

In the first quarter of this year, the sales volume of JAC 1 card increased by 20.3% year-on-year, which also verified the ability of "Starlink No. 1" in the field of key core technologies.
Accelerate the research and development of forward-looking technologies and take the lead in the intelligent network league
In September last year, "accelerating the formation of new quality productive forces and enhancing new momentum for development" was proposed for the first time. In this year's government work report, "vigorously promoting the construction of a modern industrial system and accelerating the development of new quality productive forces" has also been placed in an important position. Led by scientific and technological innovation, the key for the automotive industry is to increase research and development efforts in autonomous driving and intelligent network technology to promote product upgrading.
