UniTTech partners with Foton KaWen Auto to develop autonomous new energy heavy-duty trucks

Recently, Qianshu Technology, an intelligent driving subsidiary of Qianfang Technology, signed a cooperation memorandum with Futian Kewen Automobile. The two parties plan to cooperate in areas such as customized development of new energy heavy trucks, development of autonomous driving system products, and the intelligent agents and unmanned freight ecological network for future transportation scenarios.

According to the cooperation memorandum, the two parties will first develop customized prototypes of new energy heavy trucks based on the Futian Kewen heavy truck platform. Qianshu Technology will develop customized L3/L4 autonomous driving systems and products based on L4 - level autonomous driving technology. Futian Kewen is responsible for vehicle definition and development, and the two parties will jointly create mass - produced models of high - level autonomous driving new energy heavy trucks. Focusing on logistics and transportation scenarios, the two parties will also conduct in - depth exploration to build an AI intelligent agent for future logistics and transportation scenarios and jointly create an unmanned logistics and freight ecosystem.

Create L3/L4 - level Autonomous Driving "Electric and Hydrogen - Compatible" New Energy Heavy Truck Models

This cooperation is based on the mass - produced new energy heavy truck models released by Futian Kewen Automobile. The Futian Kewen heavy truck platform is the world's first "electric and hydrogen - compatible" intelligent heavy truck platform developed from the ground up, supporting both pure - electric and hydrogen (gaseous hydrogen/liquid hydrogen) power. Futian Kewen Automobile is responsible for vehicle definition and development. Qianshu Technology puts forward requirements for the installation and deployment of the wire - controlled chassis, vehicle sensors, and controllers based on the L4 - level autonomous driving system design plan.

As a leading autonomous driving logistics capacity service provider in the industry, Qianshu Technology ensures vehicle safety through optimized algorithms and continuously enhances the system's game - decision - making ability through generative models and reinforcement learning, building an autonomous driving heavy truck system that is "stable at the lower limit and high at the upper limit" and can continuously evolve. At the same time, combined with the large - scale logistics ecological data of Qianfang, targeted model training is carried out for logistics and transportation scenarios, which also makes Qianshu Technology's autonomous driving system more understanding of logistics.

Futian Kewen Automobile, as a leading commercial vehicle enterprise in intelligent and new energy technologies, chose to cooperate with Qianshu Technology in the fields of autonomous driving and unmanned logistics ecosystem, which means that the leading OEMs in the industry affirm Qianshu Technology's autonomous driving technology and engineering implementation capabilities.

Upgrade the "Cockpit - Driving Integration" Experience with Intelligent Agents

According to the memorandum, the two parties will also use the intelligent cockpit as an interactive platform and develop intelligent agent applications for the entire logistics scenario in combination with general large models. With the intelligent agent empowered by large models as the hub, the two parties will explore and build a collaborative mechanism between the intelligent cockpit and the autonomous driving system, and use the ecological resources of the intelligent cockpit to support the route planning and decision - making of the autonomous driving system.

At the same time, the two parties will upgrade the human - vehicle interaction interface with intelligent agent applications to achieve a smart and smooth "cockpit - driving integration" interaction experience, form a linkage between the vehicle - cargo matching system, navigation route planning, energy - replenishment facility nodes, unmanned transportation, and the vehicle system, and realize a full - process intelligent closed - loop of "order receiving - planning - driving - energy replenishment" in logistics and freight.

Jointly Build an Unmanned Freight Network Ecosystem

Looking forward to the future, on the basis of the cooperation on autonomous driving new energy heavy trucks, the two parties will jointly explore high - level intelligent driving systems, unmanned transportation capacity service platforms, and the business of building a freight ecological network. Qianshu Technology will rely on Qianfang's Chewang Daka and intelligent transportation data ecosystem, take the intelligent cockpit and intelligent agent applications as the entry points, introduce Qianfang's freight sources, rich road network information, and new energy energy - replenishment station resources along the way, and provide technical and ecological support for the construction of an unmanned road freight ecosystem for future logistics scenarios.

Xia Shudong, the Chairman of Qianfang Technology and the CEO of Qianshu Technology, said, "Futian Kewen Automobile focuses on innovation in new energy and intelligent technologies and has advantages in vehicle R & D, manufacturing, supply chain, and industrial chain integration. This cooperation provides Qianshu Technology with an ideal platform for the technical verification and mass - production implementation of L3/L4 - level autonomous driving systems. The two parties will continue to explore the unmanned freight ecological network and the 'vehicle - road - transportation - energy' integrated intelligent scheduling system for future logistics and transportation, and jointly promote the implementation and popularization of autonomous driving in the logistics industry."

Qin Zhidong, the Deputy General Manager of Futian Automobile, and the Chairman and General Manager of Kewen Automobile, said, "As a leading autonomous driving capacity service provider, Qianshu Technology focuses on the R & D of L4 - level autonomous driving heavy truck technology and has the full - stack self - research ability of vehicle - road - cloud integration. This cooperation is a deep - level collaboration between the two parties in the intelligent upgrade of new energy heavy trucks and the implementation of unmanned logistics scenarios. The two parties will focus on the 'cockpit - driving integration' intelligent agent and the unmanned freight ecosystem, accelerate the mass - production of pre - installed L3/L4 autonomous driving products, and jointly explore efficient, green, and intelligent transportation solutions for future logistics scenarios."
