Beijing Auto Show: "Carnival" for the automotive industry

Although the sales volume of the commercial vehicle market continued to decline last year, and commercial vehicles have been in a sluggish state, this year's Beijing car launch has not weakened the appearance of commercial vehicle companies at the auto show and displayed their own brand, product or technology enthusiasm. In addition to the 9 indoor venues, the largest commercial vehicle exhibition area in the history of the Beijing Auto Show was opened exclusively at the South Square of the New International Exhibition. Domestic enterprises such as FAW Jiefang, Dongfeng, SAIC, Jianghuai, and Beiqi Futian have all sent large-scale exhibitors. Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Peca and other international commercial vehicle giants visited all kinds of vehicles including trucks, passenger cars, modified cars, semi-trailers and refrigerated trucks.

Regardless of the area of ​​the exhibition or the number of exhibition cars, this year's Beijing auto show has set a new record high. Such a large-scale exhibition area, active exhibiting companies, rich and colorful exhibits, various media meetings, new car conferences, and so on... all show a lively scene different from the current market. With the commercial vehicle market still in a “cold winter” situation, the “Carnival” of the auto industry seems to open the door for future hope for the Chinese commercial vehicle market. Here, car enterprises fully demonstrate their determination and strength to face future market challenges through the introduction of new models and accumulated new technologies.

New models and new products gather at "Doojo"

All along, auto shows are all new models and new products for the company's "battle show field". This year's Beijing auto show is naturally impossible. In contrast with the previous auto shows, different car companies have attracted different audiences by releasing new products. At the Beijing auto show, more and more exhibitors have begun to highlight their own technological accumulation and innovation through the display of new products. . As one spectator said, the exhibits of commercial vehicle companies at the auto show are shifting the focus from quantity to quality.

SAIC Iveco Hongyan's Jieshi series new model M100 is also released and listed at this auto show. This new product covers the traction and dumping series and is a new model that focuses on road logistics. Volvo Trucks, a dedicated transportation vehicle in the construction and mining field, is also making a gorgeous debut in China.

As the eldest son of the Republic, FAW Liberation held a grand opening ceremony for its J6 product line J6L. This Zhongcai product, which is located in the city logistics, is equipped with a new Deutz engine, which is more excellent in fuel economy and oil adaptability. The 2250mm cab also enables it to have the largest cab space of its kind, making the audience It shines. FAW-GM's debut Liberation L330 high-end light truck and Kun-Ping pickup upgrade products have also received a lot of praise from the industry.

In addition to the listing of a number of new models, along with the changes in exhibiting strategies, we can also get a close look at the latest achievements made by many companies in the field of power at the auto show.

In this auto show, Jianghuai highlighted in its press conference is not a new model, but a brand new power brand, GreenJet, to demonstrate to the public that Jianghuai is powerful in the core components field. R & D strength and technological innovation achievements.

SAIC Group, which is making every effort to attack commercial vehicles, also brought the latest engine, the Cursor13, to SAIC Motors Fiat Red Rock. This new generation of engine based on the Euro V platform design is easy to operate and responsive. It reduces energy consumption through unique gear transmission technology and realizes the market's requirements for stall response and handling. Its unique cylinder structure also guarantees overall strength while improving driving comfort.

The reporter saw at the auto show scene that the power “legion” debuted in JAC's indoor and outdoor exhibition halls included 1.3E100 ethanol fuel engine, 1.5LTGDI gasoline engine, 2.0LTCI gasoline engine, 1.9LCTI diesel engine, and 2.8L State IV diesel engine. And a HFCDTF630 dual clutch automatic transmission. Among them, the 2.8L IV diesel engine has matured application of supercharged intercooling and high pressure common rail direct injection technology. It has excellent power performance, fuel economy, reliability and internationally leading ultra-low emission indicators.
What's more worth mentioning is that the adoption of a new generation of common rail system has greatly reduced the fuel consumption and operating costs of this engine. According to calculations, the oil change interval is as long as 150,000 kilometers, which not only reduces the user's maintenance frequency, but also improves the operational value.

Of particular concern is the new generation of common rail systems that are used to greatly reduce engine fuel consumption and operating costs. According to calculations, the oil change interval is as long as 150,000 kilometers, which not only reduces the user's frequency of maintenance, but also reduces operating costs.

Taking the new energy route is still the point of view

 
In this year's Beijing auto show, car companies almost without exception, the new energy models as the focus of the show. In the commercial vehicle exhibition area, new energy vehicles are also in various booths. This is a large number of car manufacturers to recognize the dual pressure of energy depletion and air pollution, replacing the new energy field of oil is becoming the focus of attention of the world's auto industry.

At the exhibition, it is not difficult to find that many exhibitors, including Foton Motors, Beiben Heavy Duty Truck and Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle, have brought their own new energy models. In these show cars, from the common CNG, LNG to hybrid, pure electric, almost all current types of new energy vehicles are included. The "joining" of these new energy models has brought a green wave to the commercial vehicle exhibition area.

Futian Automobile, which has always adhered to the philosophy of science and technology, green, low-carbon, and environmental protection, regards the development and application of new energy as the core strategy for enterprise development. In this auto show, it dispatched the most complete lineup of new energy vehicles in the country, which is arguably pressing.

Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle demonstrated its products and technologies based on the "ECOLIVE" green ecological concept. As for Beiben Heavy, although only three vehicles are exhibiting, they can still see the new energy heavy truck - the V3 natural gas tractor; Shanghai Shenwo brought its hybrid bus.

Omar Electric's electric sanitation trucks have made a lot of Beijing audiences feel familiar. In fact, this model adopts the pure electric drive mode, and the model that truly achieves “zero emission” has been “in service” for some time in the sanitation system in some Beijing urban areas.


In the new energy exhibition area specially set up at the Foton booth, visitors can see Auman’s LNG natural gas tractors, Ouhui direct-charged new energy buses, Ouhui LNG natural gas buses, and Omega electric sanitation trucks. Leading the new energy system of Ekko. The car's battery uses lithium iron phosphate battery, drive motor using permanent magnet synchronous motor, the maximum power up to 170KW. At the same time, the vehicle has also absorbed the successful experience of the Beijing Olympics public transportation. With battery quick exchange technology, it can quickly replace the battery in a short time, which is convenient and quick.

Prominent slumps and joint ventures have an opportunity
Beijing Auto Show is not only a platform for the release of new cars, but also a platform for technological exchanges. It is also a rare stage for major auto companies to show their future development strategies and show their sincerity in cooperation with “partners.” In this auto show, international commercial vehicle giants including Mercedes-Benz and Navistar have exhibited with their domestic partners, making the “Chinese and Western combination” in the exhibition area full of flavor.

Beijing Futian Daimler Automotive Co., Ltd., which was just established on February 18 this year, appeared as a “new force” at this auto show, and the booths of Foton Motor occupied the corner of the entrance to the South Gate of the New International Exhibition. Both sides. This new joint venture, which mainly produces Futian Auman's existing Auman heavy trucks and some of Daimler's licensed heavy-duty engine products, can be said to have received much attention from the heavy truck industry since its inception. The debut of this auto show is also the first time it has been displayed in public and in front of the industry interface since its inception. The limelight is no different. In the joint exhibition area between Foton Motors and Mercedes-Benz, we can not only see two Auman GTL heavy trucks equipped with Mercedes-Benz OM457 engines, but also the first time we can see the real capacity of Foton Daimler heavy trucks equipped with OM457 engines. ".

Commercial vehicle companies that already have an absolute share of the domestic market share, the main purpose of this wave of joint ventures is to upgrade technology. However, there are now conditional joint ventures, and it is also conditional to slip into alienation joint ventures. Regarding the future of commercial vehicles in China, be cautious.
