Natural gas heavy truck is the inevitable trend of heavy truck development Heavy truck low-carbon wind quietly
With the continuous enhancement of environmental awareness, the development of new energy and energy-saving and environmentally friendly vehicles has increasingly become the object of national advocacy and policy support. The reporter recently learned in an interview that while small-displacement vehicles have been increasingly patronized by policy and consumers, a low-carbon wind has quietly ebbed in the heavy-duty truck sector. Experts have suggested that low-cost, energy-saving and environmentally friendly natural gas heavy trucks have become an inevitable trend for the development of heavy trucks.
Using natural gas heavy trucks as a new growth point
All along, rich coal, lack of oil, and low gas are considered to be the current state of China's energy resources. However, according to the latest data from the Ministry of Land and Resources, only the gas hydrate (inflammable ice) on the inside of the Tibetan Plateau has 35 billion tons of standard oil and 100 trillion cubic meters of shale gas. Together with 100 trillion cubic meters of low-permeability gas, 38 trillion cubic meters of conventional natural gas, and 3.68 billion cubic meters of coalbed methane, experts have said that such abundant reserves of natural gas are sufficient to support China’s civilization from 150 years to 200 years. process.
During the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan†period, China will form a national natural gas pipeline network, which is expected to cover more than 300 prefecture-level cities and above. Natural gas will be transported from Xinjiang, Sichuan, and Shanxi, where abundant reserves are stored, to the coastal areas, and the transportation capacity will be greatly improved. The demand is growing at a high rate. In the next 12 years, 300,000 kilometers of natural gas pipelines will be completed, and the bottleneck of transportation will be completely solved. The demand for urban natural gas will enter the stage of explosive growth.
The natural gas heavy truck market will become a new growth point in the heavy truck market. During the “12th Five-Year Plan†period, it will be a period of high-speed growth of natural gas heavy trucks, which will surely become an important market segment for heavy truck companies to compete for.
In the next 5 to 10 years, the demand for natural gas heavy trucks will be released quickly.
Leading the market with technology leadership
When heavy trucks are mentioned, people can easily think of words such as dense smoke, noise, and pollution. In fact, today, the world has begun to pay attention to environmental protection. Some heavy truck companies have already gone ahead.
As the forerunner and guider of the heavy truck industry in China, the two major project topics of the national “863†project successfully developed by Shaanxi Automobile are CNG and LNG heavy trucks, which have quickly triggered a boom in car buying in China. As the earliest company in the industry involved in R&D of natural gas heavy truck technology, testing, and mature batch market operations, Shaanxi Automobile's R&D strength in the field of green new energy heavy trucks and the mature operation solutions it provides are second to none in the industry. Shaanxi Steam Natural Gas heavy trucks have also become a symbol of China's green new energy heavy trucks.
Shaanxi Auto has always been an advocate and promoter of natural gas heavy trucks and has always been at the forefront of new energy R&D and application. At present, the three major brand series “Delongâ€, “Deyu†and “Aolong†have been formed. The models cover three series of traction, dumping, and loading, with power ranging from 207 kW to 227 kW. Since 2005, Shaanxi Auto has been leading the development of natural gas heavy trucks in China in conjunction with key universities such as Xi'an Jiaotong University and Chang'an University. During the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan†period, Shaanxi Auto successfully undertook two major project topics of the “863†New Energy Commercial Vehicle for the National “863†Plan: “City Vehicle Operation Assessment for Single Fuel CNG Vehicles†and “Development of Heavy LNG Commercial Vehicle Products†and succeeded. CNG and LNG heavy-duty heavy trucks have been developed to fill the gaps in domestic natural gas heavy truck products, thereby confirming its leading position in the field of CNG & LNG heavy trucks.
At last year's Shanghai Auto Show, Shaanxi Automobile carried two LNG & CNG heavy trucks and re-installed it, and established the first domestic "heavy-card new energy research and development and application laboratory." Shaanxi Hongqi Chairman Fang Hongwei also read the first green declaration of the domestic heavy truck industry at the ceremony. It indicates that Shaanxi Auto has become the most powerful industrial new energy heavy truck base in China.
Shaanxi Automobile Natural Gas has more than 6,000 heavy trucks with a market share of more than 95%. The DeLong F3000 natural gas vehicle is exported to overseas and its export volume ranks first in the industry.
Leading the market with safety and environmental protection
Compared with ordinary diesel power trucks, energy saving and environmental protection are undoubtedly the most prominent advantages of natural gas trucks. Due to the use of natural gas as fuel, under the same conditions, the use cost of natural gas trucks can save more than 40% of the fuel cost compared with ordinary diesel trucks.
There are figures to illustrate this issue: Shaanxi Gold Yida Gas Company has 38 222-kilometer Shanxi Delong natural gas vehicles for natural gas transportation from Xi'an to Fuxian County in northern Shaanxi. Yuan Hong, general manager, calculated a sum for the reporter. Accounts: About 350 kilometers in a single trip, running an average of 3 miles in two days, each car can run about 160,000 kilometers per year. Shanxi Auto natural gas vehicles are about 88 yuan more than a hundred kilometers of the same power diesel vehicle. Then, 38 cars can save annually: 38 x 0.88 yuan/km x 160,000 km/year = 5.35 million yuan. This is a small sum of money. More importantly, natural gas trucks have achieved energy conservation and environmental protection.
Behind the natural gas heavy truck market share of more than 90%, in addition to the competitive advantages of Shaanxi Auto's own products, its industry-leading after-sales service and service concept can be described as contributing. For the “Leader†series of products in 2010, Shaanxi Automobile set up a special service security service team, a designated service agency in a specific region, and a one-stop tracking solution to solve the worries of users during the process. At the same time, it also cooperated with supporting manufacturers in the industry to establish a strategic cooperation agreement, requiring the provision of the best quality supporting systems and after-sales services, the establishment of a professional trainer team and an expert technical advisory group, and increased first-line technical support.
In order to provide high value-added products to distributors and users, and capture the high value of the natural gas heavy truck industry, Shaanxi Auto's after-sales service quickly responds and fully implements “Ultimate Actionâ€, ie, using the shortest time, the most recent route, and the most effective Actions and best service quality to serve more Shaanxi Auto users. For special users (large users, etc.) of natural gas heavy trucks, construction sites in special areas (mines, construction sites), round-the-clock service, and heavy truck service.
In today's increasingly fierce competition in China's heavy-duty truck market, service quality and product quality are equally important. Natural gas heavy trucks will be favored by more and more card users because of their significant economic benefits and perfect after-sales services. Eyeful heavy truck companies will certainly not ignore the important market of natural gas heavy trucks.
Natural gas heavy truck refers to a gas-fueled heavy-duty vehicle that uses natural gas as fuel (CNG is compressed natural gas; LNG is liquefied natural gas). According to different fuel use conditions, it can be divided into single-fuel natural gas vehicles (engines use only CNG or LNG as fuel), dual-fuel natural gas vehicles (using diesel + natural gas, or using gasoline + natural gas as a fuel vehicle). The most widely used at present is a single-fuel natural gas vehicle.
