Today, with the rise in oil prices and the promotion of environmental protection, LNG heavy trucks have emerged from the market. Domestic mainstream heavy truck companies such as Dongfeng, FAW, Futian, and Hualing have successively launched LNG heavy trucks to seize domestic LNG heavy truck shares.
LNG heavy trucks, or natural gas heavy trucks, are gas-fueled, heavy-duty vehicles that use natural gas as a fuel. Truck companies are stepping up the pace of natural gas production compared to bus companies that are taking small steps in new energy vehicles. On December 3, 2010, Shaanxi Automobile Group, PetroChina, CNOOC, Xinjiang Guanghui Industrial Co., Ltd., Weichai Power, Yantian Port, Xinao Group and other units 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 .
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, and now natural gas heavy trucks are developing rapidly. Every day, users and cooperative companies come to negotiate with us.
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.
According to Hualing heavy truck marketing person in charge, Hualing heavy truck currently has four or five natural gas heavy trucks with a maximum power of 380 kilowatts, but sales are not large. The reporter learned that according to different horsepower, Valin's natural gas heavy trucks are 100,000 to 150,000 yuan more than ordinary heavy trucks, and the major sales regions are concentrated in Hebei, Shanxi and other places. In overseas markets, Valin's natural gas heavy trucks have also gained. At present, 1,500 vehicles have been signed with Thailand. Orders for natural gas trucks have been produced in batches.
FAW Jiefang also trials natural gas heavy trucks with powers of 310 kilowatts and 420 kilowatts respectively. Manufacturers will test the products according to the needs of users and try to deliver them as soon as possible. According to a liberation dealer in Xinjiang, currently in Xinjiang, they have received orders for 8 natural gas heavy trucks.
In contrast with the current rapid development of LNG heavy trucks, the problem of gas filling caused by the delay in the construction of gas filling stations has become increasingly prominent. In the past, energy companies such as Sinopec and PetroChina did not regard natural gas as the mainstream of supply, and the development of natural gas heavy trucks was not effective. Now all energy companies are paying attention, such as the introduction of natural gas by PetroChina into Shandong and the introduction of LNG by CNOOC on the eastern coast. With the improvement of the industrial chain, the market for LNG heavy-duty trucks will become more and more extensive.
Compared with conventional diesel trucks, LNG heavy trucks have a much lower operating cost, which is calculated at 1.75 yuan per cubic meter of natural gas. If the operating mileage reaches 200,000 kilometers per year, the use of natural gas will save at least 160,000 to 180,000 yuan compared to diesel, which is for users. A small fee. However, LNG heavy trucks are 1/3 to 1/4 more expensive than ordinary diesel trucks. Consumers spend more money when buying cars. They also lack publicity. Many consumers don't understand the low cost of natural gas trucks, and they tend to consider buying cars. There is no choice for natural gas heavy trucks.
According to current national policies and industrial development, the development of new energy and energy-saving vehicles is the focus. As Sinopec and PetroChina gradually improve the coverage of gas stations and increase the penetration rate of natural gas stations, the advantages of natural gas trucks will be reflected, and sales and utilization rates will also increase.
