Under the guidance of China’s carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals, green and low-carbon development has become a central theme in the commercial vehicle industry. While maintaining its stronghold in traditional energy vehicles, FAW Jiefang has significantly increased its investment in the NEV sector, driving technological advancements and industrial upgrades. The company’s lightweight, energy-efficient, and intelligent products have gained widespread market recognition and user acclaim, contributing to the rising penetration of NEVs in the commercial vehicle market.

At the start of the year, FAW Jiefang deepened its strategic partnership with CATL through their joint venture, FAW Jiefang-CATL New Energy Technology Co Ltd., which aims to achieve a leap in NEV sales. Additionally, FAW Jiefang has partnered with REFIRE to promote the large-scale operation of hydrogen-powered commercial vehicles.

"Going global" is a strategic imperative for China’s automotive industry and a necessary step toward building world-class enterprises. FAW Jiefang has adopted a "localized manufacturing plus scenario-based products" strategy to optimize its systems and expand its market presence, enhancing its comprehensive competitiveness and accelerating its globalization efforts.

Recently, FAW Jiefang signed an agreement with an Australian distributor, marking a significant step in its market expansion efforts and opening new opportunities under its "SPRINT 2030" global strategy.
