The reporter got the news that Chery Automobile, which has been engaged in the passenger vehicle industry for more than a decade, has made major breakthroughs in its entry into the commercial vehicle sector. Chery is about to enter the truck industry and is the leader in the highest-end product, the heavy truck.

When it comes to the research and development of Chery Trucks, one of Chery's important partners, CIMC, has to be mentioned. Chery’s cooperation with CIMC began last year, but Chery’s time to develop trucks should have already begun. Chery once packaged a design company as a truck research center. Otherwise, the heavy truck will be introduced soon after the cooperation, and the difficulty is unimaginable. Less than half the time to complete the design from the modeling to the structure, and then the possibility of testing is not great, even if it is copying also takes time to digest, not to mention the heavy truck industry is an area it has never been involved. In fact, before the CIMC cooperation, Chery had already established a heavy truck production base in Sanhu District of Wuhu.

Chery heavy truck, from the test to the directory registration, just six months time, it shows Chery's emphasis, the current directory data map has all announced its fixed shape, conventional flat design, car height 3.32 ~ 3.65 meters range, the latter for the heightening The top version, with a width of 2.5 meters, is another important piece of information. This actually means that Chery’s heavy-duty truck project has already been approved. After all, the country no longer encourages new additions in the automotive industry, but instead advocates mergers and reorganizations.

In addition to modeling, its LOGO is also formally exposed, the use of shield-type LOGO design, simple and clear, LOGO above the C & C logo, which should be taken to Chery (CIMC) and the beginning of the letter (CIMC).

The series of models exhibited this time included cement mixers, tractors, dump trucks, and basically covered all areas where heavy-duty trucks could be involved, and the design of the chassis also showed diversity. Of course, this exposure is mainly the front.

The most important item of the heavy truck is the engine. Although Chery currently has a heavy-duty diesel engine project that matches it, the development of the engine is not something that ordinary companies can do, nor can it be developed in half past one. According to the information disclosed in the catalog, Chery mainly considers the introduction of engines from two companies, Yuchai and Xi'an Cummins. The main force is Yuchai's first choice. In fact, judging from the information of all parties, it can be roughly inferred that Chery heavy trucks will use Yuchai as their first choice. A recent report indicates that Yuchai has officially established a joint factory with Chery and the project number is 6K, mainly focusing on the complete body and cylinder. Covering the processing line and trial assembly line, the final plan is to produce 180,000 engines per year. Of course, we have already mentioned that, in addition to the cooperative production of engines, Chery also has its own heavy-duty diesel engine program. The currently known serial number is SQR6128, and general The number of the heavy truck engine is slightly different. The suffix 128 represents the bore, not the displacement. Whether it will be included in the cooperative production line is still unknown. At the same time, CIMC and Yuchai also joined the GAC-Hino (Japan) heavy truck program. Chery believes that Chery will not devote all its energy to the joint venture, and it will also increase its efforts in the autonomous engine.
