Hebei Expressway Group (河北高速集团; legal entity 河北高速公路集团有限公司) is a wholly state-owned limited liability company operating Hebei’s expressway network, engaged in the investment, construction and operation of expressways and in transport infrastructure development. Its code is registered at provincial level, and a 2023 securities-firm report gives its registered capital as 52.148 billion yuan.
Its place in the digital human value chain is in travel. In April 2023 the group and Baidu jointly released Jian Lulu (简璐璐), described at launch as the industry’s first smart-highway AI digital human. Built on Baidu’s Wenxin Transportation large model (文心交通大模型), it offers travel services to people using the provincial expressway network.
The launch was announced at the 25th China Highway Informatization Conference. In June 2023 Jian Lulu was shown again at the China·Langfang International Economic and Trade Fair in the Hebei Transport Department’s exhibition, as a public face of the province’s highway digitisation.
