The streamlined model replaces the flat-headed model, and the cockpit is no longer crowded; cameras, millimeter-wave radar and other sensors enable the entire vehicle to have automatic driving capabilities; it can be intelligently dispatched to the power station, and it only takes a few minutes to change the power... on the 17th, from the main line logistics DeepWay, jointly established by the company Lion Bridge and Baidu, released a new concept product-a smart new energy heavy truck called Xingtu 1st Generation, which broke many people's traditional cognition of trucks.
With the accelerated development of the intelligent networked car , autonomous driving is being applied to more and more models and fields. How many "black technologies" will a truck have? Let's explore together.

Smart cars: changes triggered by "pain points"
When it comes to trucks, what do you think of? Is it the weight of the vehicle body and the high emissions, or will it have a greater impact in the event of a safety accident? These are all "pain points" in truck production and operation. Focusing on "pain points", technology is driving change.
"To make trucks a safer, smarter, more efficient, and environmentally friendly freight terminal, it must have two characteristics, namely, new energy and intelligence." Wan Wan, Chairman of Lion Bridge Group and CEO of DeepWay Jun said that Lion Bridge and Baidu jointly established DeepWay, which is to deeply integrate the logistics platform and autonomous driving to provide a new solution for smart heavy trucks.
"The nitrogen oxide and particulate matter emissions of a heavy truck are two hundred times that of passenger cars, and carbon emissions are one hundred times that of small cars." Wanjun said, heavy truck electrification will become the main direction.
is not only to be a new energy truck, but also to adapt its exterior design to the needs of emission reduction. Wan Jun said that the streamlined body replaces the flat-head body, which makes the vehicle lower wind resistance and reduces energy consumption. The distributed electric drive can effectively improve the energy efficiency.
Trucks are mostly engaged in long-distance logistics transportation, and the convenience of charging and replacing is essential. "Trucks as a means of delivery have strict requirements on cargo capacity."DeepWay Chief Technology Officer Tian Shan said, "We have minimized the weight of batteries through a series of technological innovations such as lightweight design, and explored cooperation with third-party swap stations to increase the promotion of mains swapping models. ”

's positive design and development have greatly increased the capacity of the cargo box; automatic driving and intelligent dispatching, while reducing driver costs, also allow Higher operational efficiency.
"Intelligent exploration will guide vehicles to achieve redundant backup and functional safety in design and manufacturing, and help autonomous driving pursue higher levels of reliability. "Wanjun said that he hopes to quickly verify and iterate vehicle hardware and related software through Xingtu models to have L4 level unmanned driving capabilities in the next 3 to 5 years.
Smart scenario: data becomes a "dispatcher"
Traditional logistics In the middle, the upstream is the factory, the middle is the logistics company, and the downstream is the freight driver. Factory delivery, logistics, and driver orders are not fully connected. The factory's goods may not be matched with the right vehicles and drivers There is a mismatch between labor payment and the financial cycle of logistics companies, which affects delivery, transportation, and capital efficiency to a certain extent.
"In the past, the three parties of vehicles, logistics, and information systems were separated. Now we hope to be united in an ecology. "Wan Jun told reporters that digitalization depends on scenarios. In the field of heavy-duty truck transportation, vehicles need to be turned into intelligent hubs, step by step to connect people, goods, and markets.
This is the industry's vision for the future of heavy-duty truck transportation——
With the help of platform aggregation, factories can check the delivery status of various links in the supply chain and optimize production scheduling; logistics companies can monitor vehicle information at any time to ensure efficient driving; intelligent dispatch center allows cars to find goods, and goods can also find cars. Ensure that vehicles are not empty; relying on the transfer data such as shipment volume and transportation volume to prove assets and capabilities, small logistics companies and factories may better receive financial support...
Like mobile phones and computers, when heavy trucks gradually become new Smart terminals will incubate more scenarios and play an important role in the smooth flow of supply chains and logistics chains.
"We must not only rely on autonomous driving technology and products to build a solid foundation, but also start from scenario-driven, through the combination of products and services to open up a new operation mode of autonomous driving in various scenarios." Baidu vice president Wang Yunpeng said.
Perfect standards: Let smart cars "drive into" more areas
Smart food delivery trucks, smart sweepers, smart heavy trucks... Nowadays, autonomous driving is increasingly appearing in production and life.
To allow intelligent networked vehicles to "drive into" more fields, and to allow smart technology to better stimulate innovation, it is also necessary to further improve industrial supporting facilities, refine industry rules, and strengthen management of key areas.
"The more you extend to the basics, the more you need to improve your capabilities." Wu Zhixin, deputy general manager of China Automotive Center, said that it is necessary to do a good job in research and development of key materials, safety protection design for the full life cycle of power batteries, and strengthen vehicle regulations. Stability construction of the supply chain such as high-level chips, and the establishment of an independent supporting collaborative ecosystem.
Safety is the first priority for the sustainable and healthy development of the industry, and it is also the focus of access management.
Prior to this, the State Cyberspace Administration of China, in conjunction with relevant departments, announced the "Several Provisions on the Management of Vehicle Data Security (for Trial Implementation)." The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology also clearly requires the strengthening of automotive data security, network security, software upgrades, functional safety and expected functional safety management, aiming to clarify management requirements, formulate management norms, guide enterprises to strengthen capacity building, and strictly control product quality and safety.
"The next step is to improve the standards and testing and evaluation systems, and strengthen the management of the platform system and data interaction in the car." said Li Kaiguo, chairman of China Automotive Research Institute .
The reporter learned from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology that while improving rules and strengthening safety management, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is promoting the improvement of charging facilities, accelerating the promotion of power exchange models, improving the level of supporting industrial chains, accelerating the application of 5G, vehicle-road collaborative technology, and promoting intelligent networks. The development process of the joint automobile industry. (Reporter Zhang Xinxin)
