Seeing the future of commercial vehicles from Wuhan Auto Show
Take a peek into the Wuhan Commercial Vehicle Show and see the future of commercial vehicles.
The Wuhan Commercial Vehicle Exhibition held in the last quarter of 2015 is the end of my country's 12th Five-Year Plan and is about to usher in the 13th Five-Year Plan. From this exhibition, we may be able to see in the new five years, what are the development trends in the commercial vehicle field, especially the truck field, and what are the points worth looking forward to?
Please see the analysis from Fangdewang, which focuses on the development of the commercial vehicle industry.
Trend one: the rise of pure electric vehicles
This year's Wuhan Auto Show, pure electric special vehicles officially boarded the hall of elegance. Pure electric special vehicles brought by more than one company.
For example, Yutong Heavy Industry brought a pure electric road sweeper and a pure electric self-loading garbage truck, and Dongfeng Group also brought a pure electric road sweeper.
In the interview, the staff of Yutong Heavy Industries told reporters that the pure electric road sweeper exhibited by Yutong has been operating in Zhengzhou and Shijiazhuang. Environmental protection and low noise are the main characteristics of pure electric sanitation vehicles. Moreover, the small and powerful body of pure electric sanitation vehicles is also especially suitable for urban roads and residential communities. Although pure electric garbage trucks are small, they have a large capacity and can travel 100 kilometers under full load. They are fully capable of loading and unloading and transferring urban garbage.
It can be seen that pure electric vehicles such as sanitation vehicles and sweeping vehicles are very suitable for current urban sanitation operations. Not only can they reduce pollution, their compact body is suitable for urban narrow street operations, but also very suitable for application in major and medium-sized cities. Yutong Heavy Industry also revealed that a batch of Yutong pure electric garbage trucks will be delivered to Tianjin in batches recently.
Relevant Yutong staff also mentioned that at present, in the context of the country's vigorous promotion of new energy vehicles, pure electric special vehicles will have a lot of room for development in the future market. Although the current state subsidies for pure electric special vehicles are very strong, the price of pure electric special vehicles is still higher than that of traditional fuel vehicles. The main motivation for buying new energy vehicles in various cities is still to complete the promotion of new energy. However, with the improvement of the enterprise's technical level, prices will gradually decrease, and the auxiliary facilities of pure electric vehicles will be improved. In the future, pure electric vehicles can still be smoothly changed from policy-oriented to market-oriented, and the development prospects are promising.
Trend 2: High-end heavy truck market
Founder Yao Wei once published an article in early 2015 entitled "High-speed logistics is leading brands to compete with high-power heavy trucks-the new normal of the heavy truck industry." The article once mentioned that "medium and high-end heavy trucks that meet high-speed logistics are in The barbaric growth may become the mainstream of the future development of the domestic heavy truck market. The development of heavy trucks towards high speed, standard load, high horsepower, good reliability and good comfort has become the new normal of the Chinese heavy truck industry."
Time is passing, and 2015 is about to pass. Looking at the entire commercial auto show, high-horsepower models are not uncommon. Dongfeng Tianlong flagship, Jiefang JH6 pilot version, Sinotruk C7H, Shaanxi Delong X3000, Foton Auman GTL super energy version, Hongyan Jieshi , Dongfeng Liuqi Chenglong H7, etc., the high-end heavy truck field has become a climate, and the degree of competition is also very fierce. At the Wuhan Commercial Auto Show, Sinotruk issued a 540-horsepower C7H promotional message for only 456,600.
As Fangdewang said at the beginning of the year, a new round of competition among enterprises in the field of high-end heavy trucks has arrived. In addition, with the arrival of high-end heavy trucks, the use of interior cars, the widespread application of Internet of Vehicles technology, and the intelligentization of vehicles have also become new trends.
Trend 3: Natural gas trucks are no longer beautiful
At this year's auto show, of the more than 50 tractors brought by exhibitors, only two were natural gas models. One is the new M3000 6x2 LNG tractor from Shaanxi Automobile, and the other is a 6x4 semi-trailer tractor from Dongfeng Special Trade. In 2012, at the first Wuhan Commercial Vehicle Exhibition, Shaanxi Automobile, Valin, FAW Jiefang, China National Heavy Duty Truck, JAC Automobile and other national brands all displayed their LNG heavy trucks as a key display.
In addition, the latest data also shows that from January to October 2015, the cumulative decline in the natural gas heavy truck market has further expanded, from 65% from January to September to 68%. The cumulative output is only 13,110 vehicles, a net decrease of about 28,000 vehicles. .
When talking about the bleakness of natural gas heavy trucks this year, a regional sales manager of Shaanxi Automobile told Fangde.com that the decline in the natural gas truck market this year was mainly due to the decline in oil prices and the rise in natural gas prices. In addition, there are insufficient natural gas stations everywhere and fewer large gas stations The outlets are not dense enough, which makes it difficult for drivers to refuel, and it is also a very prominent problem that leads to a decline in sales of natural gas heavy trucks.
"I have always believed that the prospects for natural gas heavy trucks are good. In the face of difficulties, Shaanxi Automobile is also actively responding." The manager said, "At present, Shaanxi Automobile is launching a joint promotion model of enterprises and gas stations. Cooperating with a gas station can solve the problem that the user has no place to refuel, and it can also solve the problem of the lack of customer sources at the gas station. This is a win-win model."
Among the main objectives of the 13th Five-Year Plan, the overall improvement of the ecological environment quality is listed. In 2016, the elimination process of yellow-label vehicles in many regions was basically coming to an end. The emission standards of China IV, Beijing V and Beijing V were successively implemented, and the emission standards were being upgraded step by step. In addition, the government is still vigorously overweighting the field of new energy vehicles, but unfortunately, the government's definition of new energy vehicles no longer includes natural gas vehicles. However, natural gas vehicles are still classified as energy-saving vehicles, and some models can enjoy a policy of halving the purchase tax. But compared to the promotion of new energy vehicles, the intensity is still much smaller.
Will natural gas trucks reverse the trend or continue to slip? this is a problem
