Driven by new productivity standards, Shenzhen Dongfeng continues to advance emergency management system modernization! On August 22, the 2024 Shenzhen Safety and Emergency Technology Exhibition and Shenzhen Emergency Industry Expo kicked off at the Shenzhen Futian Convention Center. The three-day event, themed “Developing New Productivity, Advancing Emergency Modernization,” brought together hundreds of leading companies in the industry and key players along the supply chain.
This expo is the largest emergency industry event in Shenzhen in recent years, showcasing cutting-edge technological equipment. The event features innovative achievements in areas like intelligent equipment, drone rescue, safety protection, and comprehensive emergency services. As a leader in environmental sanitation equipment, Shenzhen Dongfeng, with its commitment to technological innovation, introduced a groundbreaking product: the AI Drone Cluster Fire Truck, which made its debut at this prestigious event.
During the expo, the AI Drone Cluster Fire Truck’s first public appearance attracted significant attention from provincial and municipal leaders, as well as potential domestic and international partners, showcasing the deep integration of drones in emergency fire rescue operations. On the morning of August 22, Shenzhen Standing Committee Member and Executive Vice Mayor Tao Yongxin, along with Deputy Director of the Shenzhen Fire and Rescue Bureau Wang Xin, visited Shenzhen Dongfeng’s booth. They emphasized the importance of collaboration between enterprises and fire brigades, focusing on specific firefighting requirements to overcome technical challenges. They aimed to improve accuracy in breaking windows, flight stability, and continuous ammunition output to meet real-world firefighting needs.
Guangdong Provincial Emergency Management Department’s Chief Engineer He Shengzhuang, Shenzhen CPPCC Vice Chairman Jiang Jianjun, and Shenzhen Government Deputy Secretary-General Zhang Jinzhou also visited the exhibit. They praised Shenzhen Dongfeng’s innovative approach and encouraged the company to strengthen its core technologies and contribute to the development of the emergency equipment industry chain.
At the Safety Development Innovation Forum held in the afternoon, Shenzhen Dongfeng’s Deputy General Manager Liu Yinping delivered a keynote speech titled “Seizing the Momentum: Dongfeng’s New Beginnings.” He highlighted key innovations and solutions achieved with the AI Drone Cluster Fire Truck, focusing on technological breakthroughs in emergency rescue.
Technological Innovation Drives Equipment Upgrade
Shenzhen Dongfeng’s AI Drone Cluster Fire Truck, independently developed by the company, combines the strategic principles of safety emergency and low-altitude economy, pioneering cluster drone operations and intelligent firefighting. This solution integrates vehicles, cluster systems, intelligence, and modularity, offering a cutting-edge high-rise fire rescue solution for buildings up to 600 meters tall—filling a critical gap in China’s drone-assisted firefighting industry.
Unlike traditional rescue equipment, the AI Drone Cluster Fire Truck combines a drone cluster hangar, lifting system, ammunition storage, and a command center. The truck is built on a Dongfeng Cummins L9NS6B360 emergency chassis with a custom 5700mm extended wheelbase. It features a drone flight control platform, ammunition storage, and is equipped with three combat drones, one reconnaissance drone, and over 70 firefighting ammunition units. This setup provides a safe, intelligent, and efficient emergency rescue solution for various scenarios, including forests, high-rise buildings, and chemical parks.
Smart Technology Powers Industrial Transformation
Focusing on new demands in the emergency equipment industry, Shenzhen Dongfeng is committed to accelerating industrial transformation by leveraging high technology, high efficiency, and high quality. In February 2024, the company established an emergency equipment R&D team. After rapid development, testing, and field trials, the new AI Drone Cluster Fire Truck was successfully designed and operational. The company is now focusing on digitalization and AI, striving for mass production and real-world application to fully transition into a smart environmental equipment company.
The AI Drone Cluster Fire Truck on display at the expo is a true embodiment of intelligence. It features a powerful central control system, complex air-ground coordinated control technology, and an intelligent drone flight control system. With laser targeting, infrared tracking, and AI-assisted features, it excels in intelligent reconnaissance, remote command, and precise firefighting. Its advanced high-altitude operational capabilities enable simultaneous or alternating operations by three drones. Equipped with modular quick-connect interfaces, it allows rapid battery and ammunition swaps, ensuring continuous, efficient firefighting operations.
In July 2024, the AI Drone Cluster Fire Truck successfully completed a high-rise firefighting drill in Shiyan City. Through a coordinated series of operations—including reconnaissance, public announcements, and precise ammunition deployment—the fire was extinguished efficiently and accurately.
As a key product of the low-altitude economy, Shenzhen Dongfeng remains committed to innovation, focusing on practical and intelligent solutions. The company aims to drive high-quality development in the emergency rescue industry by exploring more advanced, reliable, and competitive emergency solutions.
