One of the biggest Automotive Events of the year is happening this April 10-13 and here are some of the vehicles that you can look forward to:

The B40 Trailmaster is a more modern take on the B40 Dune. It features the same mechanical bits as the B40 dune, like the front and rear locking differentials and the 2.0L diesel engine. But it now gets a lot more creature comforts like a 360 camera, retractable sidesteps, ADAS among others. The B40 Trailmaster will not replace the B40 dune in BAIC’s lineup. They will be sold alongside each other.
