The Star Domain Concept Truck combines cutting-edge concepts and technological advantages from both sides. It is a pioneering concept truck specifically designed for the Chinese road transportation industry. While improving transportation efficiency, it can maximize low-carbon emission reduction and promote energy efficiency upgrading and green transformation in the Chinese road transportation industry. In the future, both sides will continue to lead industry innovation and work together to inject more momentum into the sustainable development of China's road transportation industry.

Assist the industry in achieving the dual goals of reducing costs, increasing efficiency, and reducing carbon emissions
The road transportation industry is an important force driving the development of the national economy and also a major contributor to carbon emissions. Data shows that automobile carbon dioxide emissions account for 8.9% of the total national carbon emissions and 11.3% of the total carbon emissions in the energy combustion field. In recent years, under the trend of global decarbonization and emission reduction, building a green and low-carbon road transportation system to assist in the sustainable development of road transportation has become an industry consensus. Especially in the context of China's "dual carbon" goals and the policy of "accelerating the construction of a manufacturing powerhouse", the road transportation industry needs to actively consider how to balance the dual goals of cost reduction, efficiency increase, and low-carbon emission reduction.
With this in mind, Shell and FAW Jiefang have reached a strategic cooperation, relying on their respective leading influence in the industry, adhering to a common concept and goal of road transportation development, and based on the complementary advantages of technology, resources, and strength, jointly creating the Star Domain concept truck to explore sustainable development solutions for China's commercial vehicle and road transportation industries, and help achieve the long-term goal of green and low-carbon.
Shell is a leading energy solution provider in the world, one of the major international producers of natural gas, oil and oil products, and chemical products. It is also the world's number one lubricant supplier for 16 consecutive years. Shell is guided by "net zero" emissions and actively explores sustainable development. In the field of road transportation, Shell actively carries out the Starship project, collaborating with top manufacturers in the industry, and continuously iterating technology and solutions. The Chinese market is one of Shell's key global strategic markets, and China's achievements in low-carbon emissions reduction are evident to all. The StarshipChina project is a customized project specifically designed by Shell for the Chinese market.
FAW Jiefang is China's leading national automotive brand. In 2023, the "Jiefang" brand value increased to 118.776 billion yuan, leading the Chinese commercial vehicle truck brand for 12 consecutive years. In terms of technology research and development, we always focus on green and low-carbon development, accelerate the implementation of the new energy transformation strategy, independently control key technologies and core assemblies, accelerate the implementation of a number of high-level forward-looking and strategic technology projects, promote the output and transformation of scientific and technological achievements, continuously consolidate and expand the absolute advantages of technology leadership and product leadership, and promote the carbon neutrality strategy transformation of commercial vehicles. The strong alliance between the two sides will gather advanced experience and leading strength to assist in the transformation, upgrading, and green and high-quality development of road transportation in China and even the world.

Star Domain Concept Truck Makes a Heavy Appearance
Creating Creative Solutions from Four Dimensions
The Star Domain concept truck closely aligns with the actual situation and pain points of China's road transportation, integrating the industry's cutting-edge concepts and leading technologies. From vehicle design, intelligent manufacturing, power systems to energy use, achieving comprehensive upgrades brings dual value of efficiency improvement and energy conservation and carbon reduction. This is reflected in four aspects: aerodynamic optimization design, high fuel economy, low-carbon environmental protection, and intelligence.
Qu Xuemei, President of the Global Marketing Department of Shell Lubricants, stated: It is a great honor for us to join hands with FAW Jiefang, a leading enterprise in the commercial vehicle industry in China, to jointly deliver an answer sheet for the road transportation industry in China. I sincerely wish Shell and FAW Jiefang more fruitful cooperation, thank FAW Jiefang for their years of trust and sincere cooperation with Shell, and also ask everyone to look forward to and pay attention to the more exciting future of the Star Domain concept truck project

After the release of the Star Domain Concept Truck, the entire vehicle of the Star Domain Concept Truck will also be available to the public, and a series of landing activities such as road testing will be carried out next year. Stay tuned. In the future, Shell and FAW Jiefang will continue to deepen cooperation and explore more possibilities for sustainable development of China's road transportation industry with advanced concepts and leading technologies!
