Research and Development

Technology and Humanity

With truck platooning, three or more vehicles are electronically coupled to one another at distances of 17.5m at a constant speed of 60 km/h. The slipstream effect increases traffic safety, allows fuel saving and reduces CO2 emissions. Using the manual driving mode of the lead truck, rear trucks can realise real-time acceleration, deceleration, steering and other automatic driving in a queue according to the inputs of the preceding car through a network connection function.

Intelligent Driving

Human, Truck and Road

Foton has launched China’s first autonomous truck in 2016. Information is shared between human, truck and road for safe, comfortable, energy saving and efficient driving via IOV, extensive data and the application of L3 autonomous driving. Mass production of autonomous trucks is estimated to begin in 2025
