Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles: Emphasizing Research and Development of Safety Technologies

Enhancing road vehicle safety and reducing casualties and property losses in road traffic accidents are significant challenges faced globally. Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles has been committed to continuous technological innovation, gradually mastering and breaking through active and passive safety development verification technologies to achieve international advanced levels. This serves as an industry reference for reducing commercial vehicle accidents and improving the safety coefficient of commercial vehicles.

In terms of active safety, Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles actively promotes the research and application of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). By integrating safety functions and hardware through the Electronic Electric Architecture (EEA), it optimizes the combination of different perception technologies, such as visual and radar technologies, to achieve integrated functions that are more adaptable to the indoor and outdoor environments of commercial vehicles. These include Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Blind Spot Monitoring (BSD), Around View Monitor (AVM), Driver Monitoring System (DMS), and others, empowering drivers with technological assistance for safe driving.

For example, in the development of the AEB system, Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles analyzed the needs of commercial vehicle drivers for nighttime driving and enhanced the capability of forward vehicle recognition for scenarios without street lights at night. By simulating actual user scenarios, it strengthened the verification and evaluation of nighttime transportation systems to enhance the safety of nighttime driving.

Furthermore, in the development of stability and braking safety systems, Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles achieved the goal of lateral and longitudinal control precision through whole vehicle stability tuning technology and braking feel tuning technology, ensuring stable control of vehicles in emergency braking situations.

In terms of passive safety, Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles is committed to creating advanced collision safety systems. It has adopted a forward design approach, planning the path of collision energy transfer. Meanwhile, based on the seating positions of occupants, it has optimally designed different rigid and energy-absorbing zones to achieve optimal occupant protection and survival space. Based on this, Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles' entire product line adopts a high-strength framework body structure design and uses over 40% high-strength steel plates to meet the requirements of European ECE R29-03 regulations.

Moreover, Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles has conducted frontal collision tests at 50km/h for the entire vehicle to ensure that the post-collision survival space meets requirements.

In addition to the development of active and passive safety systems, Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles also pays attention to the comprehensive performance of vehicle safety. To this end, it adopts advanced simulation technology to evaluate and optimize the safety performance of vehicles. By simulating various complex traffic scenarios and collision situations, it better understands the behavior and response of vehicles under different conditions, thereby guiding the design and improvement of safety systems. Additionally, Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles organizes a large number of real vehicle tests and verifications by experts and technical personnel to ensure the reliability and stability of safety systems in actual use.

At the same time, Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles strengthens cooperation with international industry authorities or professional organizations and actively participates in the formulation and promotion of international standards. This includes collaborating with internationally renowned research institutions, automobile manufacturers, and technology suppliers to conduct research and exchanges on safety technology. By aligning with international advanced levels, Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles continuously enhances its own technological capabilities and competitiveness while making greater contributions to the global road vehicle safety cause.

Solving safety challenges is not only a societal need but also the fundamental basis for the healthy development of the commercial vehicle industry. Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles will always adhere to the original intention of "customer-centered" and continue to focus on improving vehicle safety performance, constantly promoting the innovation and application of safety technologies, making greater contributions to commercial vehicle safety, and contributing Dongfeng wisdom to the construction of a safer and more reliable road traffic environment.
