On the evening of August 2nd, at the Dongfeng Yipai Technology Strategic Launch Conference and New Car Launch Event, Yipai Technology unveiled its “Wings of the Future” strategy. This comprehensive strategy encompasses advancements in intelligent cockpits (Tianyuan Zhicang), intelligent driving (Tianyuan Zhijia), quantum architecture, and high-performance powertrains (Mache Power). The company announced that a series of groundbreaking technologies are slated for integration into their vehicles next year.
Yipai Technology’s first large-tonnage die-casting product is scheduled to debut next year. Furthermore, Dongfeng officially announced that solid-state batteries will be implemented from 2026, boasting an energy density of 350Wh/kg, which will enable an extended pure electric range exceeding 1000 kilometers. This development represents a significant leap forward in battery technology for electric vehicles, potentially addressing range anxiety for consumers.
Looking ahead to 2026, Dongfeng will also introduce its first 1200V platform vehicle. This platform will be paired with a high-speed motor operating at 30,000 RPM, enabling dual megawatt charging. A significant benefit of this high-voltage architecture is the ability to recuperate 450 kilometers of range in just 5 minutes, drastically reducing charging times and enhancing convenience.
In terms of intelligent driving assistance technology, Yipai Technology offers a range of solutions, including the Tianyuan T100, T200, T500, and T1000. The T100 and T200 are expected to be implemented this year. The T500, slated for release next year, will boast a computing power of up to 700 TOPS. This advanced system will support features such as parking-to-parking navigation, all-scenario Navigation on Pilot (NOA), and cross-level memory parking, offering a more intuitive and automated driving experience. The even more potent T1000, projected for launch in 2027, will reach a remarkable 1000 TOPS of computing power. This flagship system will enable vehicle-road-cloud integration, full-speed domain NOP, all-scenario NOA, and Automated Valet Parking (AVP), pushing the boundaries of autonomous driving capabilities.
It is important to note that as 2026 has not yet arrived, the aforementioned technological advancements are currently in the presentation or “PPT” stage. The actual implementation and the effectiveness of these technologies will be subject to verification upon their release. The automotive industry often showcases future technologies well in advance of their market availability, and consumers will keenly await the real-world performance and reliability of these innovations from Dongfeng.
