Dongfeng and Cummins cooperate to develop 13-liter engine

Dongfeng Motor Corporation and Cummins Inc. announced that they have begun to cooperate in the development of a new generation of 13-liter heavy-duty truck engines. When the project started, it attracted the attention of both inside and outside the industry, and won three firsts in China's internal combustion engine industry: the first joint venture enterprise with independent intellectual property rights engine research and development project; the first Sino-foreign cooperative development project in the field of heavy truck engine; The first heavy-duty engine developed in China for the international market.

The reporter learned from Zhu Fushou, member of the Standing Committee of Dongfeng Motor Corporation and vice president of Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd., and general manager of Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd. that the new 13-liter engine targets the high-end market of China's heavy trucks, while focusing on meeting the needs of the international market. . The development of this new heavy-duty truck engine has completely revolutionized the traditional technology and product introduction mode of Sino-foreign joint ventures. It was funded by Dongfeng Cummins Engine Co., Ltd., a peer-to-peer joint venture between Cummins and Dongfeng. The R&D center conducts research and development and is supported by Cummins' global R&D network. Dongfeng Cummins Engine Co., Ltd. will own all the independent intellectual property rights of this new engine platform. The project was officially launched in Xiangfan on October 12 when Cummins Board of Directors visited China.

The 13-liter all-electric heavy-duty diesel engine jointly developed by the two parties is expected to be put into operation in 2009. The power range covers 400~545 horsepower, and the product is used for heavy trucks with a total weight of more than 40 tons.

Zhu Fushou further explained that under the traditional technology and product introduction model of Sino-foreign joint ventures, joint ventures can only passively introduce and accept foreign products and technologies. Most of these products are based on foreign countries. Developed with the characteristics of major European and American markets, there is not only the local adaptability of the Chinese automotive market for products, but also the joint venture company is largely positioned as a production base and manufacturing plant, rather than a corporate entity with independent research and development capabilities and intellectual property rights.

Therefore, the 13-liter engine project is a major breakthrough in the traditional Sino-foreign joint venture cooperation mode in the Chinese market; and the joint development and ownership of this product's entire independent intellectual property rights will greatly enhance the independent research and development capabilities of this Sino-foreign joint venture. Make it a corporate entity with sustainable development capabilities. After the 13-liter engine enters mass production, Dongfeng Cummins will formulate corresponding export and overseas license authorization production strategies according to the specific needs of overseas markets.

Cummins, vice president of Cummins and chairman and CEO of Cummins (China) Investment Co., Ltd., also said that the 13-liter engine project will use Cummins' leading engine technology in the industry, starting with both Chinese and international markets. Demand. With the increasingly stringent global emission regulations, exhaust emissions occupy a vital core position in the development of diesel engines. The research and development goal of the 13-liter engine is aimed at meeting the two core emission regulations of the world---European regulations (Euro III and Euro IV) Standard) and US Federal Environmental Protection Agency regulations (EPA2007 standard). Not only that, the new heavy-duty engine platform has a further upgrade capability for Euro V and US EPA 2010 and above, and is a sustainable new generation diesel platform.

According to the September 2004 statistics of Overdrive magazine, the authoritative publication of the US heavy-duty truck market, 63% of the engine power in heavy-duty trucks in the United States today is concentrated in the range of 400-550 hp. In contrast, the engine displacement and power of heavy trucks in China are still relatively low, focusing on 250 to 300 horsepower, and the displacement is generally in the range of 8 to 10 liters. Industry experts believe that by 2010, China's heavy-duty truck engine is expected to be close to the power range of the US heavy truck, the main displacement climbed to the range of 10 to 12 liters, and the power rose to 350-450 hp. From this point of view, the engine project not only takes into account the international market, but also has a certain domestic market advancement, is a heavy-duty engine with long-term product life.

Insiders pointed out that the 13-liter engine project is of great significance to both partners: for Cummins, it is the first heavy-duty engine platform developed outside the US for local and global markets, reflecting the rapid development of the Chinese market in Cummins global product development The important position in the strategy and Cummins' long-term commitment to the Chinese market and partners; for Dongfeng, the 13-liter engine project is the first time that Dongfeng Motor has developed a new joint venture with foreign companies through 20 years of international development. The first generation of engine products is a key development of Dongfeng's independent research and development strategy.

It can be applied widely in high-rise civilian building, bridge and water-conservancy project, big-span industrial workshop and high-rise building, etc. the Tower Crane is high level slewing self-erecting tower crane which adopts horizontal jib and trolley-jib. The main features as follows:The tower crane with features as high working speed, stead work condition and high efficiency.Hoisting jib has 48m or 54m and 60m three ranges. This meets project needs more widely.
