On July 17, Dong Tianchi, Vice President of CDTL, attended the "Empowering by CATL · Electrifying Everything" - New Era of Zero-Carbon Applications Event. He gave a speech on the electrification of land transportation.

The event is centered on the trinity platform of “Technical Innovation, Standard Co-Construction and Commercial Strategic Synergy”, which promotes the conceptualization of full electrification of sea, land and air to industrial scale.

Under the title of “Begin with the End in mind: Insight into the Ultimate Form of  Self-Driving, Electrification and Multi-Unit Transportation in Trunk Logistics - On the Core Value of Distributed Drive Axle + Distributed Braking (EMB)”, Dong Tianchi systematically elaborated the technical strategy of CDTL in the future trunk logistics and transportation.

CDTL believes that “Self-Driving, Electrification and Multi-Unit”, as the ultimate pattern of trunk logistics transportation, will help trunk logistics transportation realize the structural reduction of the comprehensive cost of the whole life cycle in the four dimensions of improving the efficiency of the transportation capacity, cutting the labor cost, reducing the energy consumption, and cutting the carbon emission cost.

Adhering to the concept of “begin with the End in mind” and relying on the technical accumulation in the field of high integration and high-precision cooperative control of drive system and brake system, CDTL Distributed Drive Axle + EMB technology is the optimal solution for “Self-Driving, Electrification and Multi-Unit”.

At present, the Intelligent Road Train solution applying CDTL's distributed drive system has stepped into the commercialization validation stage: Conducting pilot operations in typical Chinese scenarios (Inner Mongolia, Qinghai), and the test validation of the first power trailer has been successfully completed in the United States.

With the forward-looking layout of distributed drive axle and EMB braking technology, CDTL is steadily promoting the “Self-Driving, Electrification and Multi-Unit” future trunk logistics form from blueprint to reality.

CDTL invites global logistics operators, technology partners, and industry peers to jointly accelerate scaled deployment of Intelligent Road Train solutions. Together, we shall usher in a new chapter of zero-carbon intelligent logistics across vast land transportation network.
