Foton has made constant breakthroughs in the automatic driving field from 2016. In 2016, Foton took the lead in releasing unmanned trucks in China. In 2018, Foton developed into the first enterprise to be awarded an automatic driving road test license in the Commercial Vehicle sector of China. To date, it has put L3 automatic driving into use. Foton enabled the intelligent sharing of safe, comfort, energy saving and efficient driving between vehicles and people, other vehicles and roads.
With truck platooning, three or more vehicles are electronically coupled to one another at distances of 17.5m at a constant speed of 60 km/h. The slipstream effect increases traffic safety, allows fuel saving and reduces CO2 emissions. Using the manual driving mode of the lead truck, rear trucks can realise real-time acceleration, deceleration, steering and other automatic driving in a queue according to the inputs of the preceding car through a network connection function.
