Co-Source, Co-Chain Innovation Technology Exhibition
On the day of the event, nearly 30 suppliers showcased technologies and products related to intelligentization, embodied AI, the low-altitude economy, lightweighting, new materials, and quality enhancement, engaging in exchanges with Dongfeng Motor's R&D team.
In the field of intelligentization, exhibits included cloud-integrated software solutions, transparent glass projection solutions, and air spring suspension models. Emerging sectors like embodied AI and the low-altitude economy brought cutting-edge technologies such as AI tactile sensors (dexterous hands), electric low-altitude aircraft motor controller solutions, and automotive-grade connectors. The lightweighting, new materials, and quality enhancement sectors showcased forward-looking products like ultrasonic pre-embedded plastic nuts (zEPP) and blue light connection technology (ONSERT).
Through this event, Dongfeng's General Institute of R&D established efficient communication channels with numerous high-quality suppliers. This effectively broadened the scope of technology selection, further optimized supply chain layout, and enhanced industrial chain resilience. At the same time, the event provided a professional platform for small and medium-sized tech enterprises with core innovation capabilities, helping them demonstrate their technical strength, connect with mainstream OEMs, and integrate into the vehicle parts supply system.
