On October 19, Dongfeng Huashen Automobile Co., Ltd. held a grand launch of its new generation VASOL platform products in Shiyan, Hubei. Guests, partners, and media friends from across the country gathered together to witness the comprehensive technological advancement of Dongfeng Huashen vehicles and the new upgrades to its scenario-based customization capabilities.
At the event, Dongfeng Huashen unveiled the gas-powered and diesel-powered tractors of the new generation VASOL platform, including models with 580-horsepower and 590-horsepower gas engines, and a 680-horsepower diesel engine. The new products are equipped with top-tier domestic powertrains from brands such as Weichai, Cummins, Hande, and ZF. The entire lineup offers 18 customer-centric features, including energy-saving, comfort, and safety packages, tailored to meet vehicle needs across various scenarios. The starting price for the gas-powered version is 435,800 RMB, while the diesel version starts at 427,800 RMB.
Upholding its brand promise of “The more you understand Dongfeng, the more you trust Huashen” and its core philosophy of “customer-centricity,” Dongfeng Huashen’s VASOL platform launched its first heavy-duty truck, the HS7. Through extensive validation across six major operating scenarios (heavy-load starts at traffic lights, bumpy roads, speed bumps, heavy-load uphill driving, heavy-load U-turns, and platform docking), along with 1,109 technical and scenario-specific verifications, the HS7 achieved industry-leading smoothness, comfort, power responsiveness, and gear matching, delivering a driving experience on par with high-end imported trucks. This fully embodies a “thrilling” driving experience. Starting from customer needs and experience, the HS7 ensures satisfaction throughout the entire vehicle lifecycle—satisfying to buy, to drive, and to use—redefining the standard of what makes a great truck truly “thrilling.”
