Jiefang J7

The Jiefang J7 is a truck model of FAW Jiefang, the self-owned commercial vehicle brand of China's FAW Group. Gasgoo reported on April 20, 2018 that on April 18 FAW Group officially unveiled its L4 self-driving truck and announced that the all-new Jiefang J7 had come off the production line. According to FAW Group's introduction, the J7 took European counterparts as its benchmark and was upgraded in exterior, interior, configuration and manufacturing procedure. The same report says FAW Group received provisional licences from the Changchun municipal government that allow specified autonomous models, including the Hongqi H7, the Besturn X80 and the Jiefang J7, to be tested on roads. In the first quarter of that year the Jiefang brand delivered around 90 thousand medium and heavy duty trucks, up 16.3 percent on the year before, and held 24.2 percent of that segment nationwide.
