CHANGCHUN -- A Chinese auto maker has completed the country's first highway test of the drive-smart functions of commercial heavy-duty trucks. FAW Jiefang Automotive Co Ltd, a truck subsidiary of FAW Group, China's leading automaker, said on Tuesday that it has tested three Jiefang container trucks with autodriving functions on a section of the Changchun-Shenzhen Highway. The trucks, which have a loading weight of 40 tonnes, can perform auto cruising and automatic alarms and braking. The Lane Keeping Assist System mode allows for hands-free driving. Hu Hanjie, general manager of the company, said smart-driving vehicles are the future trend. The company aims to develop a new model with high-precision positioning abilities by 2018 and make another model based on 5G communications networks available for driving by 2020. By 2025, the company is expected to develop its first self-driving truck. Built in 1956, the company made China's first domestically produced truck. Since then, it has produced 6 million vehicles. In the first nine months of this year, it sold 198,000 vehicles, ranking first in China. rubber wristbands custom cheaphow to make rubber braceletsflash drive wristbandtyvek wristbands london24 hour wristbandsglow wristbands
