The article you referred to describes a significant event in the autonomous vehicle industry, where Inceptio Technology, a leading developer of autonomous driving technologies for heavy-duty trucks in China, made a record-setting delivery of autonomous heavy-duty trucks to Yunyi Transport, an international express logistics company. This delivery of 63 trucks is the first batch of a total order of 300 vehicles. The trucks, known as “Tianlong” models, were co-developed by Inceptio and Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle and come pre-installed with Inceptio’s full-stack autonomous driving system.
This system includes hardware such as lidar, millimeter-wave radar, high-definition cameras, and an autonomous driving control unit, as well as software powered by Inceptio’s algorithms tailored to heavy-duty truck operation. These technologies enable precise perception and control abilities, along with improved fuel efficiency. To date, trucks utilizing Inceptio’s Truck Navigate-on-Autopilot (T-NOA) functionality have completed 60 million kilometers of accident-free commercial operations, demonstrating significant cost savings in labor and fuel for logistics companies.
