chinadaily.com.cn | Updated: 2020-09-15

Ever since its 'Sharing-VAN' unmanned minibus rolled off the production line on June 12, auto manufacturer Dongfeng Motor Co has been making efforts in commercializing the Sharing series of products, so as to provide better services and solutions for customers and for future social development.

The full name of the vehicle is the Dongfeng Sharing-VAN 1.0 Plus, and it comes equipped with four laser radars, one millimeter wave radar, 16 ultrasonic radars and 12 cameras.

The minibus Sharing-VAN has reached the highest level of autonomous driving currently available - Level 4 - which is highly autonomous driving, one step below the fully-autonomous Level 5.

The customized high-tech vehicle has no steering wheel, throttle or brakes, and the interior resembles a living room.

Its 13 functions include dynamic speed limits, dynamic obstacle avoidance, automatic parking, remote controls and dispatch monitoring.

The first batch of six Sharing-VAN vehicles was delivered to Qingdao in East China's Shandong province in early August, and took part in a series of services and maintenance work, according to the application scenarios.

According to the needs of customers in Qingdao, Dongfeng Sharing-VAN 1.0 Plus has also launched a six-seater public version and a four-seater business version. The business version includes advanced technology elements such as a starry sky roof and a large LCD screen.
