The upgraded demand for safety and comfort in the urban new energy light truck market has spurred technological innovation. Yihe Axle is an intelligent front axle assembly customized for Foton Scenery I. It integrates a long-life maintenance free keel unit and an electronic parking system, which not only shortens the braking distance by 15% compared to traditional products, but also eliminates the risk of skidding through the hill start assist function. The operational feedback of a certain urban distribution enterprise in Shenzhen shows that the light truck equipped with this front axle reduces the driver's operating intensity by 30% and the vehicle braking system failure rate by 82% year-on-year during continuous delivery operations, greatly improving the operational efficiency of urban distribution scenarios.
The performance verification of extreme working conditions has become the touchstone of technical strength. On the high-altitude extreme track of Bayinbrook, the UFO pure electric light truck equipped with Yihe axle completed the maximum altitude difference crossing challenge - the UFO U-truck is equipped with a one ton platform hydraulic disc front axle, which continuously outputs stable braking force under low temperature and continuous slope conditions of -15 ℃, and the wheel end temperature is always controlled within a safe range, demonstrating excellent environmental adaptability. This performance has enabled Yihe Axle to successfully enter the new energy commercial vehicle supporting system in high-altitude regions such as Xinjiang and Qinghai, with a year-on-year increase of 120% in related regional orders by 2025.
The competition for new energy commercial vehicles has sunk to the full lifecycle value competition of core components, "said Chen Gongbo, General Manager of Yihe Axle. The enterprise is building a full chain value system covering research and development, production, and service with" electric drive integration+intelligent operation and maintenance "as the dual core. On the research and development side, Yihe Car Bridge collaborates with universities to establish a new energy car bridge laboratory, focusing on the application of silicon carbide power modules and vehicle road collaborative control technology. It is expected that the next generation of products launched in 2026 will achieve an additional 3 percentage points increase in system efficiency; On the production side, the introduction of digital twin production lines has stabilized the product qualification rate at over 99.5% and shortened the delivery cycle to 60% of the industry average.
Innovation in the service sector is also worth paying attention to. In response to the dispersed operation scenarios of new energy commercial vehicles, Yihe Axle has developed an intelligent operation and maintenance cloud platform. It collects real-time operation data through 16 sensors built into the electric drive bridge, and combines AI algorithms to achieve fault prediction, remote diagnosis, and precise spare parts allocation. At present, the platform has been connected to more than 2000 service stations nationwide, providing full lifecycle support for over 50000 commercial vehicles and reducing the average maintenance response time from 4 hours to 45 minutes.
Industry analysts believe that the new energy transformation of commercial vehicles is not simply about replacing power, but rather about the technological reconstruction and value upgrading of core components. Yihe Axle has taken electric drive axle technology as a breakthrough point and transformed from a product supplier to an integrated solution provider of "technology+service", setting a benchmark for commercial vehicle core component enterprises. With the acceleration of technological iteration and the expansion of application scenarios, Chinese enterprises represented by Yihe Axle are driving the global commercial vehicle industry into a new stage of development of "intelligent electric drive".
