Rubber Suspension This "fashionable" product has gradually become popular in China's truck market, and its product development has also received more and more attention. At the Shanghai Auto Show 2015, Hundredsen released a new generation of lighter-weight HMX-V rubber suspension in medium-to-heavy trucks. The goal is to target the lightweight road transport market in China! The reason why this product was chosen to be released at Shanghai Auto Show is It is Hendrickson’s emphasis on the Chinese market and his determination to open up the Chinese market.

Why does Hendrickson have such great confidence in his products? What is the expectation of the Chinese market? How is the current development in the Chinese market? China Truck Net specially interviewed Zhao Ruisen, general manager of Hundredson (China), and felt together. Ruisen's development in China.

Strong power to win world attention

At present, Henderson's rubber suspension covers road and off-highway vehicles, including HUV270 products suitable for cement mixer trucks, urban dirt trucks, and lightweight dump trucks, as well as HUV278 products that are used for transportation on standard highways. In addition, trailer air suspension and trailer axle products introduced in March last year have also been developed in the field. Sales volume has been generated in the first quarter of this year. In particular, the demand for trailer axles in the U.S. market is more than twice that of last year.

In fact, since the acquisition by Boler in 1978, the suspensions of truck suspensions, tractor suspensions, trailer suspensions, and liftable suspensions developed by Hendrickson have received unanimous praise from the industry, with customers in North America and Europe. , Asia and Australia.

As a hundred years of history, Hendrickson does not blindly pursue the market, but speaks with strength. Hundredsen will always provide the world's transportation industry with the most advanced and innovative products in science and technology as the company's development goals, and focus on industry product development. At the same time, in the concept of research and development, it has always been the pursuit of "no best, only better," the concept of research and development, never absolutely satisfied with the product, through continuous design and development to improve product quality and market demand. As a result, Hendrickson has created a technologically advanced position that has made it unmatched by industry competitors.

"In fact, we like competition very much. On the one hand, competition can make us better. On the other hand, competition can give us challenges." Zhao said that although companies like competition very much, Hendrickson’s efforts have kept it Industry leader.

Not only focusing on technology research and development, Hendrickson maintains the high quality of its products from raw materials. In the 1970s, Hendrickson began to produce rubber parts at its own factory in the United States. Although there are many market demands at present, Henderson still uses American factories as rubber, considering the requirements of raw materials for production processes, storage temperatures, and humidity. The place of origin of the product ensures the quality of the product.

Strive to build lightweight products in the Chinese market

Hendrickson's ability to occupy a place in the suspension industry is inseparable from the market's precision in addition to the quality of its products. For the Chinese market, it also introduced a new generation of lightweight HMX-V rubber suspension systems. .

"With the country's strict management of overloading, the lightweighting of truck products has become a common pursuit. How to achieve weight reduction without reducing the quality of the test is not only material but also technology, especially the weight of cement mixers in China. It is strictly controlled. The new generation of lightweight HMX-V rubber suspension introduced by Hendrickson at the Shanghai Auto Show was developed for China's light-weight standard road transport market,” Zhao explained.

It is understood that the design load capacity of the HMX-V is 21 tons, and its dead weight is only 390KG, which is further reduced by 100 KG (HUV design load capacity is 34 tons) than the HUD rubber suspension currently promoted by Hendrickson in China. As a result, the HMX-V can achieve a weight reduction of up to 290KG compared to conventional leaf springs of the same tonnage. This is the world's lightest 21-ton engineering application rubber suspension system, which perfectly balances lightweight and driving comfort. . Ruan Ruisen believes that China's mid-to-long-distance standard road transport market will surely usher in a golden period of rapid development. In this market, the demand for lighter weight and comfort will be higher. Therefore, the delivery of HMX-V rubber suspension with lighter weight and lower maintenance cost will definitely be China's heavy truck OEM.

The introduction of new products further strengthened Hendrickson's investment in the Chinese market. Not only that, since its official entry into the Chinese market in 2009, Hendrickson has established close strategic cooperation with CNHTC Group. In response to China’s road conditions and special market demands, it has developed a HUV rubber suspension system for Replace the traditional leaf spring market. After more than four years of product promotion, Hendrickson successfully introduced the “rubber suspension” new product into China, and achieved more than 13,000 sets of assembly volume. The advantages of lightweight, maintenance-free and high comfort of rubber suspensions have also been recognized by more and more end-users. The concept and application of "rubber suspension" have been more popularized. Many mainstream heavy truck companies in China have started cooperation with Hundrison.

In order to serve more Chinese customers, Hendrickson has established a large inventory of rubber parts in China, adjusted the quantity of inventory through practice, and at the same time, combined with the after-sales service of the OEM to meet the user's demand for Hendrickson's accessories. Reported the user's use of the worries.

R&D Air Suspension and China Heavy Truck Enterprises to Build Chinese Products

In addition to rubber suspensions, air suspensions are slowly introduced into the Chinese market. “The application of air suspension should not only take into account the comfort of the vehicle and the destructiveness of the road surface, but more importantly, it can also provide the stability and power of the vehicle.” Zhao said that the air suspension actually provides a The entire solution, not a single element.

In order to develop air suspension products suitable for the Chinese market, Hendrickson has also spared no effort to develop close cooperation with Chinese heavy truck companies.

In fact, Hendrickson has an engineering team in the United States that specializes in product R&D. Its products have also been maturely verified in foreign markets. Taking into account the specificity of the Chinese market, Hundrison did not blindly graft products. It is to cooperate with Chinese heavy truck companies to achieve accurate judgments on the Chinese market through information sharing. “Before the development of HUV suspension, it was the crystallization of our cooperation with CNHTC. Although the product needs to be developed in the United States, the key information such as vehicle model data and market information collection must be realized with heavy-duty steam in order to truly realize the sinicization. "General Zhao said that the development of air suspension also needs Chinese partners to help.

In addition, in order to achieve the final launch of air suspension products, Hendrickson’s US engineers will also regularly visit China for communication. Customizing products according to customers’ latest needs, including sample development, experiments, etc., will be carried out by hand. "Whether it is design or raw materials, as long as the customer has needs, we will help partners to solve as much as possible. Not only the suspension of the project, there are any problems as long as we can help to help solve." It is uphold this kind of Spiritually, Hendrickson's air suspension has entered a substantial phase of the finished product and I believe it will soon be seen in the Chinese market.

Thanks to the world-leading suspension technology experience and strength, Hundrison has continuously introduced and developed a series of high-quality, high-reliability innovative suspension products based on the characteristics of the Chinese market and the actual conditions in China. Effectively meet the market demand of commercial vehicles in China, thus helping customers effectively reduce operating costs.
