Recently, Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle and Zhongtong Express successfully held a delivery ceremony for 400 of the world’s largest single intelligent driving heavy-duty trucks. This move not only consolidates Dongfeng’s leading position in the industry for intelligent driving heavy-duty trucks, but also serves as another strong endorsement of Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle’s brand influence and product strength.The focus of this grand delivery ceremony is undoubtedly the flagship KX model of Dongfeng Kinland.
Leading the way in multiple industries, leading modern intelligent logistics
The flagship KX of Dongfeng Kinbland has achieved 360 ° coverage of vehicle grade intelligent sensors in terms of intelligent perception, including 1 laser radar, 5 millimeter wave radars, and 7 high-definition cameras, providing more comprehensive and accurate environmental information for intelligent driving systems to achieve precise and timely emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and other intelligent assisted driving operations. Sensors also have high reliability and durability, capable of meeting the usage requirements of 1.6 million kilometers of heavy-duty truck lifecycle.
In terms of human-computer interaction, Dongfeng Kinland Kx adopts the industry’s first L2+level human-machine interactive intelligent cockpit, integrating advanced DMS driver monitoring system, steering wheel grip detection, AD interactive switch, warning seat belt, vibrating seat, 12.8-inch central control interactive large screen, 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel, intelligent voice reminder and ambient light strip, etc., providing drivers with an unprecedented intelligent, safe and comfortable driving experience.
In terms of power, the flagship KX of Dongfeng Kinland integrates the Cummins Z14/13/12 engine, Yingdong&ZF AMT transmission, and the golden power chain of Dongfeng 440 rear axle, improving fuel economy and ensuring surging power output. In addition, the B10 lifespan of the driver’s cab and three key assemblies is as long as 1.6 million kilometers, with a wider maintenance range. The vehicle only needs two maintenance visits per year, which not only significantly improves reliability and attendance, but also greatly reduces vehicle maintenance costs.
At the same time, Dongfeng KX is also equipped with the industry’s first fully redundant wire controlled chassis system. Its steering, braking, and power supply systems adopt a dual safety design, and more than a hundred new wire controlled chassis function definitions have been added, ensuring the ability to safely switch the system to standby mode in milliseconds. This means that even in the event of a single point of failure, the vehicle can maintain normal operation, providing a solid guarantee for driving safety in complex and extreme road conditions.
With the accelerated promotion of intelligent heavy-duty trucks, the penetration rate of intelligent driving heavy-duty trucks in mainline logistics, ports, and mining scenarios continues to increase. However, their large-scale implementation still faces various challenges. Especially in complex and changing road conditions and extreme weather conditions, how to ensure accurate judgment and response of intelligent heavy trucks, reduce accident risks, is a key focus of continuous research and development in the industry. Faced with the urgent need to solve reliability problems, Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle has created the flagship KX of Dongfeng Kinland, which is at the forefront of multiple industries, to help customers maintain operational stability and continuity in various scenarios of mainline logistics transportation.
