In October of this year, domestic commercial vehicle manufacturers intently aimed at the core components - the engine: Foton Motors and Cummins signed a formal joint venture agreement, its Tianjin Perkins IV natural gas engine officially listed, Weichai Power introduced WD12 high-powered diesel engine with independent intellectual property rights and FAW Road-Yowz III (equivalent to Euro III) engine were mass-put off the assembly line.

Frequent movements are rare.

Meet the country III, fuel economy

“The domestic commercial vehicles are basically similar in appearance. The interior is not the strength of commercial vehicles. They have to compete with the engine!” said a head of China National Heavy Duty Truck. As a core part of a car, the value of the engine accounts for almost 1/4 of the value of the entire car, and the mileage of a commercial vehicle exceeds 100,000 kilometers per year. Therefore, the quality of the engine naturally becomes the most important selling point of a car. .

Prior to this, the emission standards for domestic engines were mainly Euro II. Beijing and Guangzhou will begin preparations for Euro III emission standards. Many manufacturers are still lucky and hope that they can “fish” in other places that have not yet been implemented. However, the State Environmental Protection Administration has publicly stated that China will implement the third (Euro III) and fourth (Euro IV) phases of motor vehicle emission standards in 2007 and 2010, respectively.

According to reports, the national pollutant discharge standards play an important role in optimizing the development environment of the motor vehicle industry. For each engine, every single new stage emission standard will reduce its single-unit pollutant discharge by more than 30%. In China, in order to improve the level of environmental protection, the possibility of accelerating the implementation of higher standard emissions is not ruled out. For commercial vehicle manufacturers, it is only possible to plan ahead and reach the standard in advance. It is not surprising that before the end of this year, the market will be launched first. . The reporter also noticed that in the recently introduced engines, the descriptions of the Euro III and Euro IV standards were placed in a conspicuous position.

In today's skyrocketing oil prices, fuel consumption has naturally become one of the main indicators for the measurement of commercial vehicle engines. The just-concluded “First China International Truck Fuel Contest” held in Beijing has aroused strong response, and major manufacturers have greatly promoted their good results. The reporter also noticed that the new engines launched in October all claim to be more fuel-efficient than their competitors.

Use partners to explore the international market

"It is not enough to rely on the current domestic strength to develop a brand-new engine. The new engine is basically cooperating with foreign manufacturers. Domestic manufacturers can use the partner's network to enter the international market!" said one person who has been studying domestic commercial vehicles for many years.

Both Futian and FAW's recently-developed engines are developed with the help of foreign forces. Even the Weichai Power Company, which claims to have independent intellectual property rights, has adopted the European technology for its WD12 high-power diesel engine. “The domestic market is changing too fast. If you rely on your own development, it takes a long time and risks, and it is more secure with mature technologies from other people,” the source said.

In fact, in Germany, the Euro IV standard was formally implemented on October 1 this year and began to study Euro V emissions. When Nanjing Automobile Yuejin and Nanjing Iveco merged this year, they expressed their hope to use Iveco's global network to explore the international market.

According to statistics, the sales volume of commercial vehicles in the first half of the year increased by more than 70,000 vehicles last year, of which exports accounted for more than 20,000 vehicles. Compared with the previous domestic demand contribution, the significant increase in exports is an important contribution to commercial vehicles, especially heavy goods vehicles. At present, almost every commercial vehicle in China has more or less export business, and some are even close to half. It is a way to exploit the foreign network to develop the market through engine cooperation.

Recently, Weichai Power introduced the WD12 high-powered diesel engine, which is China's first 12-liter engine with independent intellectual property rights, and its power can reach 480 horsepower. It is reported that the WD12 high-power diesel engine was developed by Weichai Power Europe Research and Development Center after 5 years. It passed the extreme conditions tests such as the plateau, high temperature, and cold regions to meet various needs of users. At present, the annual production capacity of the Weichai Power WD12 engine is 50,000 units. Weichai Power Co., Ltd. has already started accepting bulk orders and putting it into the market.
