The application of new energy heavy trucks is extending from urban distribution and port logistics to more scenarios such as long-haul trunk lines and heavy-load transport, placing higher demands on vehicle charging efficiency, overall safety and adaptability to complex operating conditions.

On November 6, BAIC FOTON released its megawatt-level super-fast-charging heavy truck at the Super-Fast-Charging Strategy Launch Conference. Covering two major series, GALAXUS and CAVAN BEACON, the vehicle breaks through charging efficiency bottlenecks with megawatt-level super-fast charging and enhances overall vehicle performance through full-domain safety, intelligent control and multi-regional operating condition validation, helping to improve transport efficiency and revenue simultaneously.

Megawatt-Level Super-Fast Charging Breaks Through the Charging Bottleneck of High-Frequency Transport

The shorter the charging time, the more time is available for on-road operations. BAIC FOTON's megawatt-level super-fast-charging heavy truck is equipped with an integrated 800V high-voltage platform compatible with up to 1000V, with dual-gun charging peak power of 1.5MW and maximum current of 1600A. Under suitable megawatt-level charging conditions, the battery SOC can be charged from 20% to 80% in only 18 minutes, and 6 minutes of charging can add 100 kilometers of range. As a result, it can quickly recharge during transport intervals, reducing stops and waiting, and creating conditions for continuous trunk-line operations.

In response to high-frequency, high-intensity transport needs, the new product adopts a module-free power battery integration solution. Combined with an AI super-fast-charging algorithm, the battery cycle life can reach 6,500 cycles, balancing charging efficiency and durability.

Efficient charging is also inseparable from stable thermal management. The new-generation cabin 2.0 integrated cooling module reduces system weight by 23% and complexity by 50%, improves thermal efficiency by 10%, and controls cell temperature within 25–50°C, ensuring high-power charging and continuous vehicle operation.

Full-Domain Safety and Intelligent Control Enhance Adaptability to Complex Operating Conditions

Efficient transport requires not only speed but also stability. BAIC FOTON's megawatt-level super-fast-charging heavy truck has built a five-layer full-domain safety protection system covering the battery, architecture, system, complete vehicle and vehicle-cloud coordination. It has also carried out more than 100 extreme validation tests for scenarios such as puncture, fire, high drop and water immersion, with vehicle wading depth reaching 0.9 meters.

In terms of power and driving control, the vehicle is equipped with a fully self-developed three-electric system. Through VCU coordinated control of the power chain, gear shifting, long-slope torque and thermal management, it improves power response and operating stability under different loads and road conditions.

At the same time, the series offers 22 optional advanced driver assistance functions, covering adaptive cruise control, automatic lane changing and intelligent obstacle avoidance, and features 23 remote intelligent control functions to assist driving safety and fleet management.

Multi-Regional Operating Condition Validation Enables Technology to Adapt to Diverse Transport Scenarios

Technical capabilities must ultimately withstand the test of real roads and operating environments. BAIC FOTON has conducted full-mileage testing in the high temperatures of Turpan, the plateau of Golmud and the severe cold of Mohe, and has carried out specialized calibration for typical operating conditions such as the long slopes of Honghe in Yunnan, the high-frequency shuttling at Shenzhen Yantian Port and the mountain curves of Zunyi in Guizhou.

At the same time, the series integrates more than 50 technologies, including super-low wind resistance, lightweight design, full-domain thermal management and low-energy consumption accessories. Vehicle energy consumption is reduced by 5%–8% compared with the industry level, and operating efficiency is improved by 10%. Multiple technical optimizations further improve energy consumption and operational efficiency, enhancing the adaptability of BAIC FOTON's megawatt-level super-fast-charging heavy truck to diverse transport scenarios.

When charging time is shortened to the minute level, the release of vehicle on-road time is directly converted into operating revenue. Starting from megawatt-level super-fast charging, BAIC FOTON is expanding new space for new energy heavy truck operations and, through deep coordination of efficiency, safety and scenarios, accelerating the green and efficient transformation of trunk-line logistics.
