Compared with bus companies' small-step slow-moving in the field of new energy vehicles, truck companies have stepped up the pace of natural gas products. On December 3, 2010, Shaanxi Automobile Group, PetroChina, CNOOC, Xinjiang Guanghui Industrial Co., Ltd., Weichai Power, Yantian Port, and Xinao Group jointly established the China New Energy Heavy Truck Strategic Alliance. It is reported that China's new energy heavy truck strategic alliance will be committed to the formulation and implementation of China's new energy industry strategy, the development and popularization of China's leading new energy heavy trucks, promote the innovation and breakthrough of new energy heavy truck technology, build new energy heavy truck bases and industrial clusters .
Natural gas heavy trucks attract
In addition to Shaanxi Auto, Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles, CNHTC, Hualing, SAIC Iveco Hongyan, etc. have introduced natural gas heavy trucks. In regions with abundant gas sources such as Shanxi, Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang, the demand for natural gas heavy trucks is in the ascendant. In 2010, only Xinjiang Guanghui Clean Energy Technology Co., Ltd. purchased 3,500 LNG heavy trucks.
The relevant person in charge of Shaanxi Auto stated: “We started to promote natural gas heavy trucks in 2005. We sold more than 100 vehicles in the first year and remained at several hundred for several years. In 2010, we achieved historic breakthroughs, reaching more than 2,000 vehicles. 2011 Our sales plan is 10,000. Now that natural gas heavy trucks are developing rapidly, users and cooperative companies come to negotiate with us every day. The main constraint for the promotion of natural gas heavy trucks is the gas source. In 2005, our first batch of users specialized Only a few years ago, energy companies did not use natural gas as their main source of supply, and the development of natural gas heavy trucks had little effect, and now energy companies have begun to pay attention, such as the introduction of natural gas into Shandong and CNOOC in the east. LNG is introduced along the coast. With the improvement of the industrial chain, we have confidence in the future market."
Product technology upgrades are fast
After several years of development, natural gas heavy truck technology has gradually matured. China National Heavy Duty Truck WT615 series natural gas engine products cover a 230-horsepower to 340-horsepower power segment. The available fuels are CNG and LNG, which can fully meet the needs of medium and heavy-duty trucks.
Compared with the 250-hp natural gas tractor delivered in 2005, as of 2010, Shaanxi Gas's natural gas heavy truck product lineage is more complete and its technology has been upgraded. The relevant person in charge of Shaanxi Auto said: "Shaanxi's natural gas heavy trucks cover 210-380 hp tractors, trucks, dump trucks, concrete mixer trucks, and non-road mining vehicles, and the driving range has also increased from 200-300 km. More than 1,000 kilometers."
With the increase of the driving range of vehicles and the improvement of gas filling stations, the driving radius of natural gas heavy trucks has further increased, and a networked pattern has gradually emerged. At the same time, due to the advantages of LNG vehicle driving mileage, LNG heavy trucks have also been recognized by more and more users. It is reported that prior to 2007, Shaanxi Gas's natural gas heavy trucks were mainly based on CNG. Since the development of LNG heavy trucks in 2007, the proportion of LNG heavy trucks has continued to increase, which currently accounts for 70% of Shaanxi Gas's natural gas heavy truck sales.
Expected policy support
Due to lack of clear policy support, the development of natural gas heavy trucks has been driven by truck companies and markets. A related person of a heavy truck company stated: “We have been calling for the integration of natural gas vehicles into the scope of new energy vehicles and enjoying state subsidies. From the perspective of the effects of energy saving and emission reduction, the advantages of natural gas heavy trucks are obvious, and the mining and use processes are pollution-free. Although electric vehicles are zero-pollution in use, there is pollution in power generation and battery recovery. Moreover, although China has abundant natural gas reserves, there is a big gap between its use efficiency and the international level, and there is room for improvement.
Therefore, the person hopes that the government will increase efforts to support the industry chain to encourage the development of natural gas heavy trucks, both to provide support for the technological development of innovative companies, and to give energy companies support in the construction of gas stations, and at the same time, Give the user a subsidy. "Now the natural gas heavy truck is 80,000-100,000 yuan more expensive than a diesel vehicle. If you can get a subsidy and lower your procurement costs, your enthusiasm will be even higher."
