Foton Motor is on CCTV again!
According to CCTV CCTV1, the high-level hydrogen-fueled autonomous driving heavy truck from Foton Motor was first applied to the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangzhou high-speed autonomous driving demonstration scene, realizing the point-to-point autonomous driving of high-speed trunk lines. This is an important practice of cross-regional high-level autonomous driving, which once again confirms that Foton Motor has built a new highland for enterprise innovation and development in the field of new energy and intelligent networking.
A few days ago, Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei provinces and cities jointly opened the autonomous driving trunk logistics and freight scenario, and the autonomous driving was fully connected to the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangzhou Expressway. Unified standards, mutual recognition of results, and cross-domain connectivity are a major feature of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei autonomous driving trunk logistics and freight scenario. This is an innovative attempt and leading practice in the logistics and freight scenarios of autonomous driving trunk lines in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei since the five departments issued the "Notice on Carrying out the Pilot Work of the Application of "Vehicle-Road-Cloud Integration" of Intelligent Connected Vehicles at the beginning of this year.
The strategic layout has been accelerated first
On April 10, the Hebei Provincial Department of Transportation issued an announcement to designate the Hebei Langfang section of the G2 Beijing-Shanghai Expressway (Hebei section of the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangzhou Expressway) as the road test and demonstration application road for intelligent networked vehicles. According to reports, relying on the vehicle-road-cloud integration technology, the roadside coordination facilities and comprehensive monitoring platform laid out on the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangzhou Expressway can provide over-the-horizon perception, traffic situation and risk early warning for vehicles, and ensure driving safety in an all-round way.
CCTV news reported that the Foton high-level hydrogen fuel autonomous driving heavy truck loaded with goods drove out of Beijing Majuqiao Logistics Park, passing through Langfang, Hebei Province, and finally arrived at Tianjin Port. There is no need to take over the whole driving process, and the vehicle can safely and autonomously respond to various traffic scenarios, truly realizing point-to-point autonomous driving of high-speed trunk lines.
At the end of last year, Foton successfully obtained the first domestic commercial vehicle conditional autonomous driving highway road test license, only a few months later, Foton high-level hydrogen fuel autonomous driving heavy truck has been demonstrated operation, which shows that Foton Motor in hydrogen fuel and intelligent network in the full preparation and strategic layout of the early.
As early as 2006, Foton Motor began the technical research and development of hydrogen fuel products, and in the process of nearly 20 years of research and development, it has become a leader in the research and development of hydrogen fuel cells. It is understood that in terms of hydrogen sources, Foton Motor has considered a variety of hydrogen sources such as gray hydrogen, blue hydrogen and green hydrogen, and cooperated with PetroChina and Sinopec to jointly improve the construction of hydrogen energy filling network and continuously improve the industrial chain resources of hydrogen energy heavy trucks. In terms of products, Foton Motor has independent core technologies in hydrogen fuel cells and high-pressure hydrogen storage systems through technological innovation, and its hydrogen fuel heavy trucks are at the forefront of the industry in terms of low-temperature starting, durability, reliability, economy and other indicators.
In terms of autonomous driving, Foton Motor released the first self-driving truck in China as early as 2016, and developed a full-platform autonomous driving vehicle for scenarios and customer value, during which it obtained the first domestic commercial vehicle autonomous driving road test license and the first conditional autonomous driving road test license in China, and built a "3+2+1+N" technology platform to independently master core capabilities such as perception fusion, intelligent decision-making, control execution and system integration development.
A group of data shows the acceleration of Foton Motor's "first and first trial": Foton Motor has realized the promotion and application of hydrogen fuel cell commercial vehicles in many provinces across the country, and has launched more than 2,100 hydrogen fuel commercial vehicles with an operating mileage of nearly 100 million kilometers; The autonomous driving product combines simulation scenarios for commercial vehicles and 50,000 kilometers of actual road test mileage in China, and the total mileage has exceeded 1.2 million kilometers!
Promote new changes in the logistics industry from point to area
As a leading enterprise in the commercial vehicle industry, Foton Motor has been accelerating innovation and change, seizing the "double carbon" strategy, and taking the new energy strategy as the company's first development strategy. In the face of the pattern of diversified fuel development in the future, Foton Motor adheres to local conditions and always focuses on the use scenarios of customers to create new energy products.
In terms of trunk logistics and transportation, hydrogen fuel undoubtedly has more obvious advantages, with the characteristics of short refueling time, long driving range and strong environmental adaptability. Foton Motor combines the characteristics of scene application and product use, aiming at medium and heavy-duty, medium and long-distance transportation scene products, creating a variety of hydrogen fuel commercial vehicles, and even exploring the development of ultra-long-distance liquid hydrogen heavy trucks.
The reporter learned that in the face of energy supply, dependence on key components, lack of regulations and vehicle standards, and financial issues, Foton Motor has built a complete industrial ecosystem, including fuel cell systems, hydrogen systems, hydrogen preparation, storage, transportation and refueling. At the same time, Foton Motor also focuses on finance, insurance, leasing, after-sales service and second-hand car processing, aiming to use scale to drive cost reduction, product upgrading, and cost-effective products to promote the continuous expansion of market scale.
Taking the 49t hydrogen-fueled heavy truck in this operation as an example, the vehicle adopts a high-power fuel cell + high-power high-rate power battery system architecture, with a driving range of up to 500km, which is very suitable for the transportation distance of 142 kilometers of Beijing-Tianjin-Tangzhou Expressway. The vehicle adopts advanced sensors such as high-beam hybrid solid-state lidar, omnidirectional perception lidar, high-precision forward perception camera, high-resolution perimeter view, rearview camera, millimeter-wave radar, etc., which can stably provide sensing information within 500m forward, combined with the algorithm independently developed by Foton Motor, which can greatly improve traffic safety, alleviate fatigue, reduce the operating cost of the whole life cycle of customers, and then realize less or even unmanned in the high-speed trunk logistics scenario.
This year coincides with the 10th anniversary of the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Foton Motor has achieved high-level autonomous driving in the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangzhou Expressway through the chain of 118 core parts enterprises in Beijing-Tianjin-Tangzhou, helping the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei regional transportation integration with all-weather and efficient transportation efficiency, effectively alleviating the traffic pressure of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei road network, and has a good demonstration effect.
The relevant person in charge said that Foton Motor will continue to promote the development of intelligent driving of commercial vehicles through scientific and technological innovation, promote the establishment of a green, economical and efficient logistics and transportation system, and actively explore a new model of commercial operation of autonomous driving logistics.
