On the afternoon of April 8, the “Commercial Vehicle Carbon Neutrality Collaborative Innovation Platform (CUCP) Expert Committee 2026 Working Meeting and Distributed Electric Drive Industry Consortium Founding Conference,” hosted by the China Society of Automotive Engineers and organized by Hanma Technology was held in Ma’anshan, Anhui Province. Expert representatives from leading domestic and international commercial vehicle and core component manufacturers—including CATARC, Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle, FAW Jiefang, Sinotruk, Beiqi Foton, Yutong Bus, BYD, Scania, Weichai Power, and Cummins—gathered to discuss pathways for industrial low-carbon transformation and breakthroughs in key technologies. Hangzhou Contemporary e-Drive Technology Co.,Ltd., recognized as a significant innovative force in the field of distributed electric drive systems, was invited to join the Consortium as one of its first member units and attended the founding ceremony.
The founding ceremony of the Distributed Electric Drive Industry Consortium was held during the event. In recognition of its profound independent R&D capabilities in distributed electric drive systems, leading market application performance, and outstanding contributions to industrial advancement, Mr. Luo Xunqiang, Chairman of CDTL, was formally appointed as a committee member of the Distributed Electric Drive Industry Consortium, becoming one of the 23 expert members of the body.
It is reported that the first member units of the Distributed Electric Drive Industry Consortium include major domestic commercial vehicle OEMs such as FAW Jiefang, Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle, Sinotruk, Beiqi Foton, Yutong Bus, BYD, and Hanma Technology, as well as prestigious universities including Tsinghua University, Jilin University, and Zhejiang University, thereby bringing together top-tier industry, academia, research, and application resources in China. The Consortium will focus on core technological bottlenecks in the commercial vehicle sector’s carbon neutrality transition and will promote the establishment of standards, collaborative innovation, and the large-scale application of distributed electric drive technologies.
CDTL’s Distributed Drive Product Portfolio
As a pioneer in distributed drive technology, CDTL has long been deeply engaged in independent R&D in this domain. Its distributed electric drive systems have achieved notable results in enhancing overall driveline efficiency, reducing energy consumption under full load, optimizing spatial layout, and establishing multi-dimensional safety redundancy. These systems have already been deployed in volume production models for mainstream OEMs such as CRRC, DEEPWAY, and Ankai Bus, and are also being applied in mass production for global market models.
CDTL stated that it will leverage this membership in the Consortium as an opportunity to closely engage with the professional platform provided by the China Society of Automotive Engineers and to conduct in-depth collaboration with fellow member organizations and research institutions within the Consortium. CDTL aims to jointly accelerate the establishment of technical standards and the industrialization process for distributed electric drive systems, thereby injecting robust technological momentum into the commercial vehicle industry’s pursuit of carbon neutrality goals.
