High-tech products developed by Dongfeng Motor Co, including the Dongfeng Sharing-VAN hydrogen version, were on display and attracting significant attention at the 2020 China 5G+ Industrial Internet Conference, which concluded in Wuhan, Central China's Hubei province, on Nov 21.
The hydrogen version of the Dongfeng Sharing-VAN has been developed based on the Dongfeng Sharing-VAN1.0 Plus.
Dongfeng Sharing-VAN is the first L4 5G remote-controlled driverless car in China that has achieved mass production and commercialization. It has two automatic driving models and 5G remote driving.
For example, by using the 5G remote control technology in Wuhan, a Sharing-VAN in South China’s Guangzhou can be remotely controlled.
Compared with Dongfeng Sharing-VAN 1.0 Plus, the hydrogen version adds a hydrogen fuel cell system. The cell stack power is designed to be 30 kilowatts and the hydrogen capacity is 1.5 kilograms, which increases the mileage of the vehicle by more than 100 kilometers.
Using the 5G network, Dongfeng also exhibited driverless sweepers, driverless patrol vehicles and the latest WINDLINK smart cockpit.
