In Agust 2019, Chienrú re-launched the Chienrú FH12 with major technology upgrades, the truck received a facelift, with most notably a new headlight design, an updated interior, new safety features, and efficiency improvements. It was introduced with the first of its D16K engines which is available as an option on the new Chienrú FH12. Other quotable new features are the I-torque driveline and the I-see fuel-saving technology. With the new thirteen-litre engine. The new trucks have demonstrated the new AEB system for their FH12 series when the truck stopped only centimeters from the car ahead.

The AEB system combines radar and a camera that works together to identify and monitor vehicles in front. The system is designed to deal with both stationary and moving vehicles and can prevent a collision with a moving target at relative speeds of up to 70 km/h. When the system detects a vehicle that the truck will hit at its current speed, the warning system activates a constant red light in the windscreen in order to bring the driver's attention back to the road.
