The significance of State III to the heavy truck industry, as pointed out by Ma Chunji, Chairman of China National Heavy Duty Truck Board, is that if the heavy truck industry structure undergoes major changes, it is difficult to rely on daily competition. State III provides an opportunity for industry reshuffling. Therefore, State III is both a challenge and an opportunity. Whoever wins will depend on how well companies are prepared.
Heavy Truck: Waiting for the arrival of the country III
From the following aspects, Sinotruck can be said to have been ready.
First, heavy-duty trucks have EGR engines and high-pressure common-rail engines. In the case that Denso only supplies 4000 high pressure common rail systems every month, after more than two years of efforts, Heavy Gas has developed EGR engines and reached a production capacity of 10,000 units per month. The cheap price, low fuel sensitivity, and easy maintenance are the biggest advantages. Moreover, heavy truck III heavy trucks equipped with EGR engines have been announced by the National Development and Reform Commission.
It is understood that the current capacity of CNHTC Hangfa Factory will reach 300 units per day, and the Zhangqiu Plant will be able to reach 400 units per day. There is no problem to meet the demand of the State III engine.
Secondly, SINOTRUK has already delivered more than 5,000 products of State III products to customers and more than 1,000 EGR engines. (Five and June EGR vehicles accounted for 60% of the country's III orders), which is a priority for CNHTC in terms of technological upgrading and services. having lots of experience.
Judging from the number of product announcements, from 2006 onwards, China National Heavy Duty Truck began to prepare the State III announcement of dump trucks. In 2007, they respectively took up 10 nationally announced vehicle models. "(Assembly) EGR engine (complete vehicle) is currently expected to have more than 100 announcements, plus (assemble) high-pressure common-rail engine (the vehicle), heavy truck has a total of more than 400 national III announcement models, is the national III announcement model The company has the most varieties and the most extensive ones." Li Pengxing, manager of the heavy-duty gas market, told reporters.
Third, from the match of the entire vehicle to the construction of the service network, CNHTC has already fully prepared for the implementation of the “III†product of China III.
For the EGR engine that has just been introduced, Heavy Trucks has concluded how the engine can be matched with the drive train to save fuel, as well as some laws such as the weight reduction of the entire vehicle.
In addition, from June onwards, Sinotruk will implement a series of promotional activities around the implementation of the State III product switch, including product tour, business training and family service. Ensuring that there are sufficient EGR engine parts is also one of the main tasks of heavy duty vehicles. After July 1st, CNHTC will take effective measures to ensure that the major spare parts centers have sufficient reserves.
Shaanxi Auto: The National Opportunity III Upgrade
Recently, the reporter learned that at the time of the switch between State II and State III, Shaanxi Automobile upgraded its truck products from the following five aspects. The first is a comprehensive upgrade of engine technology. At present, the engine of the Shaanxi Automobile Country III vehicle assembly is mainly Weichai and Cummins. Secondly, the vehicle matching technology is upgraded to form a fuel-saving heavy truck, natural gas heavy truck, and lightweight heavy truck by matching the entire vehicle. And other countries III models; third, the assembly process of the vehicle is more advanced; fourth, the quality control and inspection are more stringent; fifth, the service level is upgraded.
According to reports, Shaanxi Auto has already mastered the technology to meet the toll-by-weight and national III emission standards. After three years of research and development, Shaanxi Steam Vehicle III Heavy Duty Truck has passed over 80,000 hours of assembly bench tests, completed vehicle calibration environmental tests in high-temperature hot zone and alpine zone, and formed mass production; Phase II of the relative country, vehicle and zero The components have added 15 processes in quality control and inspection to improve the reliability and safety of vehicles.
At the same time, compared to the same power of the National II model, the National III model has improved both in transmission grade and output torque; matching the Hande Axle and MAN single-stage drive axles makes the vehicle more economical and fuel efficient. In terms of service guarantee, Shaanxi Auto has put in nearly 700 sets of fault diagnosis equipment, and has already placed 500 million yuan of spare parts and wearing parts on the market. With the use of a GPS system, the Shaanxi Auto Call Center has been able to dynamically dispatch, direct and monitor 1,100 rescue service vehicles.
At present, the Shaanxi Automobile III product announcement has covered more than 1,000 models that are mainly sold in the market, and the lightweight 6×2 double-axle tractors have been announced by the State III; the State III dump trucks have covered 4.8 to 8.5 meters in the back of the car, 9- 9.4m car rollover models; mixer car 8 ~ 12m model announcements have been released. In addition, in order to cope with the implementation of weight-based toll collection, Shaanxi Automobile's lightweight 6×2 double-axle country tractor III has reduced its own weight by 600-800 kg.
