Evolution of Chinese Trucks: Overloaded Steering Efficiency


At the press conference of the National Truck Contest held recently, Zhou Liang, deputy general manager of Beiqi Foton Motor Co., Ltd., put forward a statement that the design of our truck is changing from the past "overloaded type" to "efficiency type".

Can't be overloaded. What kind of truck do we need? In the face of the rule of super-trafficking, helpless truck users have to think again when buying a car. In the past, simply relying on the increase in single-passenger traffic to improve transportation efficiency, the use of cards in light-duty trucks, heavy-duty trucks in medium-duty trucks and heavy-duty trucks in small trains. However, the transportation speed is reduced, the failure rate is increased, and the vehicle life is also shortened, largely offsetting the “efficiency” brought by overloading. Now, the market's reflection has already told us the new orientation of users: large-tonnage models have been welcomed by users, and models that have won favor by overloading have been thrown into the cold. What kind of trucks should be made for users has also become a major issue for manufacturers.

No truck was born to use it for overload. Any design has its own conditions of use. The “overloaded” model was born just to cater to the user's “big tonnage”. For users who want to pack as much as possible and mark as small as possible, manufacturers can only meet the requirements of “God” as much as possible, and continuously strengthen and strengthen the vehicles, and develop “overloaded” trucks that meet the requirements of a certain era. In the process of managing overloading in the previous stage, I saw such a report: “The medium-sized truck made by a certain domestic brand he drove had a total mass of 2.3 tons for empty trucks and a total mass of 4.29 tons at full load. It can be actually tested and empty. The quality was actually 5.1 tons! This way, even if the owner is an empty vehicle that is not loaded, he has already overloaded 0.81 tons."

It's not that the car is overweight, it's only small. The ridiculous "empty empty car" is loaded with even more intensified and overloaded cargo. It has been driving for years with the dangers of dark exhaust, sturdy steps, and breakdown at any time. "Overloaded" trucks not only damage the road, but also reduce their own transportation efficiency.

Now that the country has not given an environment where the phenomenon of overloading can be accommodated, the appetite of "God" has also changed. Can these "overloaded" trucks built for overloading still adapt?

The development trend of heavy-duty trucks in the world has always been to high-speed heavy-load development. Years of experience abroad have proven that without overloading, it is feasible to rely on the high efficiency of the vehicle, users can fully obtain a reasonable return, and higher than overload. Mr. Wu Yuzhang, vice president of Volvo Truck Asia in Asia, once calculated this kind of account for the reporter: Imported high-end trucks are two or three times more expensive than domestic trucks of the same weight, but imported vehicles are not overloaded. The return on investment is not as low as that of domestic cars, and even more profitable. The key is the difference in transportation efficiency. In imported high-end trucks, a car can be equipped with two or three drivers to drive in rotation, and can work continuously. Under full load conditions, it can maintain a speed of nearly 100 km/h for a long time. Plus, the quality and stability can be maintained less frequently. The interval is long. Trucks maintain an efficient working condition at any time. Not only can they continuously create wealth for the owners, but also efficient and timely transportation services can speed up the turnover of the goods and improve their efficiency.

This is a typical “efficiency” truck that does not rely on overloading to make a load on the load. Instead, it relies on high speed, high reliability, and less maintenance. It saves the user every minute and provides efficient and reliable Need for transportation.

The performance of the vehicle itself is on the one hand, and manufacturers provide users with high-quality and efficient service is also an important factor to ensure that the "efficient" truck is truly efficient and reliable. No matter how good the truck needs to be repaired, whether or not the user can enjoy quality and efficient service in the shortest possible time is an important task that the manufacturer cannot ignore. Imagine if the user's vehicle were to be parked for a week in order to wait for an accessory, then the performance of the vehicle, no matter how good, would be completely wiped out.

In fact, domestic trucks have always been developing toward high efficiency. For example, the trend of large horsepower in terms of power is a prerequisite for a typical “efficient” truck, but it has been affected by the phenomenon of overloading and the high-powered engine is The performance of high-speed driving did not show up, but it became the "look" of an overloaded truck. Now it's time to give the body a "lose weight," remove the strong carrying capacity, and return the truck to its original appearance.

The power needed to achieve "efficient" trucks is relatively easy to meet, but high reliability is not always easy. Its realization requires strong technical strength and a high level of manufacturing to ensure that this is the Chinese truck The key to the evolution process. According to the current situation, there is still a gap between the reliability of Chinese trucks and imported high-end trucks.

What is gratifying is that domestic companies already have a good foundation in the establishment of after-sales service network. Several major truck manufacturers in China have already established their own comprehensive networks. They have also taken the lead in putting forward the "24-hour spare parts supply" service commitment. From here, we can see the efforts of manufacturers.

But the time left by the market is not much. At the end of March, heavy-duty trucks produced by Volvo and China National Heavy Duty Truck Co., Ltd. with CKD production have already been rolled out in Jinan. Although the output is still relatively small, it should allow Chinese enterprises that have long developed "overloaded" trucks to attach great importance to it and seize every minute to create their own "efficient" trucks with the highest efficiency.
