Tuling Longxing platform

The Tuling Longxing platform is the auto industry's first self-developed intelligent digital chassis platform, using a distributed CNC flexible architecture that supports torque output of 7,000-12,000 N·m and adapts to various models such as sedans, SUVs, and MPVs.

This platform supports full-dimensional fusion perception, capable of constructing high-resolution road space models in real-time, significantly enhancing road condition recognition.

The S800 performs well even under extreme conditions; for instance, in cases of front wheel blowout and slippery roads, the vehicle can still maintain stable driving without needing to hold the steering wheel.

Additionally, the rear wheel steering angle of the Maextro S800 can reach 16°, with a turning radius of only 5.05 meters, making it more agile than the BMW Mini.
