DF's T1 Platform Trucks: Game Changer?

On June 7, DF Liuqi held the 10th 67 Brand Customer Day at the Liuzhou International Exhibition Center in Guangxi, themed “Dual Engines Pilot, Soar to New Journeys.” During the event, DF Liuqi unveiled its “15th Five-Year” strategic plan, aiming to achieve sales targets of 70,000 commercial vehicles and 250,000 passenger vehicles, as well as an overseas sales target of 155,000 vehicles by 2030. Additionally, DF Liuqi announced a collaboration with Huawei QianKun Zhijia to work on intelligent automotive solutions.

At the Brand Customer Day, DF Liuqi showcased the technological achievements of its T1 Commercial Vehicle New Energy Platform. This platform covers six core modules—fuel cell, hydrogen storage, power battery, central domain control, integrated thermal management, and electric drive—characterized by light weight, fast refueling, low energy consumption, and high safety. Based on the T1 Platform, DF Liuqi launched two strategic models: the Chenglong H7 PRO Hydrogen Glory Edition and the Chenglong Yiwei 5 Super Energy Edition electric heavy truck. The Chenglong H7 PRO Hydrogen Glory Edition is equipped with a 400 kW high-power efficient hydrogen stack, boasting a range of over 1,700 kilometers. The Chenglong Yiwei 5 Super Energy Edition electric heavy truck has a curb weight of just 8.8 tons and supports megawatt-level supercharging, with refueling times of no more than 20 minutes. Additionally, DF Liuqi also launched the Yiwei 2 RV, with a driving range of up to 1,400 kilometers.

In the passenger vehicle sector, DF Liuqi introduced the 2027 Xinghai V9. This model progresses in five dimensions: luxury, spaciousness, intelligence, safety, and peace of mind. Additionally, DF Liuqi launched the Chenglong H5V Mulan Edition and announced the “Her Harbor” Female Driver Care Program, building a care ecosystem for female drivers through health protection, peer support, and career empowerment. On the philanthropic front, DF Liuqi upgraded the “Wang Zi Cheng Long” charity program to version 2.0, launching the “Wang Zi Cheng Long Qingjin Zhuiye Plan,” in collaboration with industry-leading companies to create a joint recruitment platform, offering premium positions in new energy technologies and intelligent manufacturing to young people.

Ten years of foundation building, a new journey begins. From setting a clear technical route and establishing pragmatic commercial layouts to implementing heartwarming initiatives for female truck driver care and student employment assistance programs, the 10th 67th Brand Customer Day witnessed Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor’s firm steps in transformation and upgrading. It further highlights the brand’s long-term commitment to co-prosperity with users, partners, and social responsibility. With the dawn of a new decade, a new journey commences again from Liuzhou.
