Recently, the "Eleventh Five-Year" National 863 Program "Energy Conservation and New Energy Vehicles" project "Research on Vehicle Performance and Emission Test Technologies for Hybrid and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles" passed the project acceptance in Tianjin. The problem that the current heavy vehicle emission regulations system cannot cover hybrid vehicles has been solved.
In the era of skyrocketing oil prices and ever-evolving emissions, alternative energy sources such as pure electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, natural gas, hydrogen energy, and alcohol fuels have already made their own choices according to the characteristics of their products. Why, then, why light trucks choose pure electric routes and why heavy trucks love natural gas?
Since its development, the R&D process of purely electric light vehicles has been rarely mentioned. Conversely, natural gas heavy trucks have been sought after by consumers due to the continuous rise in oil prices. However, even though natural gas heavy trucks are still mature in technology, they still face many difficulties in promotion.
◠Pure electric light trucks: Shelving “General truck OEMs have their own new energy truck technology reserves,†Liu Yanzhong, director of the FAW Liberation Technology Center, said in an interview. According to him, there are three major routes for the liberation of new energy trucks. One is a pure electric medium light truck, the second is a natural gas heavy truck, and the third is a methanol fuel heavy truck. According to Xu Xian, an engineer from Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle Technology Center, Dongfeng Motor Company has its own set of new energy truck combinations. It is mainly hybrid trucks for light trucks and medium trucks, and heavy trucks and methanol for heavy trucks. Fuel heavy trucks.
Shaanxi Automobile Group, which focuses on new energy heavy trucks, also has a variety of technical routes. According to Shao Guoqiang, vice president of the Shaanxi Automotive Automotive Engineering Research Institute and chief engineer of the sales company, Shaanxi Automobile has been involved in new energy heavy trucks for a long time. In the “10th Five-Year Plan†period, Shaanxi Auto took on the pilot project of clean vehicle action demonstration project. The single-fuel CNG Bus Demonstration Project has undergone many years of research and development in the new energy heavy truck technology, including natural gas, methanol, dimethyl ether, pure electric and hybrid power. The most promising new energy heavy truck is the natural gas product. .
Why do many truck companies focus their new energy routes on the purely electric route? In response, industry insiders explained: "It is because the prices of other technology routes are too high. Taking hybrid technology as an example, it is not technically difficult to achieve, but a hybrid power system is more expensive than light trucks and cannot be sold at all. At the current stage of development, most light truck users are not easy to buy an ordinary light truck, and they are not yet able to afford the cost of a new energy light truck.†Since the future is not so bright, why do light-card companies insist on taking the path of new energy?
At present, domestically produced pure electric light trucks are mainly exported to foreign countries. Usually orders are placed abroad and domestic production is again organized. In the domestic market, new energy light trucks only have sporadic demand for municipal vehicles, special vehicles, etc. Because pure electric, hybrid cars are more suitable for running in urban roads that start frequently.
â— Natural Gas Heavy Duty Trucks: Long-distance logistics is commonly used to run heavy trucks. It is impossible to use electric trucks to meet the cruising range of heavy trucks. There is also a problem of loading. As we liberate pure electric trucks, if we carry a 200ps battery, the weight of the battery will exceed two tons. Under the environment where light weight heavy trucks are popular, the use of pure electric mode is not of great significance. Therefore, in terms of heavy trucks and new energy sources, the application maturity and the most cost-effective ratio are natural gas models.
As a major source of gas, the Xinjiang region is a gathering place for domestic natural gas heavy trucks. According to Liu Qing, head of the Energy Business Department of Dongfeng Xinjiang Automobile Co., Ltd., sales of LNG (liquefied natural gas) heavy trucks in Xinjiang this year will have a slight increase compared to last year, and it is expected to reach 2,000 units; sales volume will double this year, based on this year. It has reached 5,000 vehicles; it is expected that by 2015, sales will reach 50,000 vehicles, accounting for 1/3 of the total sales of heavy trucks in Xinjiang.
In response to the current natural gas market, Wang Xiaomin, a relevant person in the Shaanxi Auto Market Department, said: “The natural gas heavy truck is in a stage of upward development, and the sales volume in the future will surely increase gradually. Although the increase in oil price will stimulate the natural gas heavy truck market, it will come from the current situation. Look, the stimulation is not obvious."
Although the oil price “break 8†has not yet had a major impact on the natural gas heavy truck market, many people in the interview are very optimistic about its prospects. However, they also believe that in order to achieve scale and industrialization, the real “NG era†is still far away. Even if oil prices continue to rise, it will not be possible to fundamentally promote the transformation of this industry within a short period of time.
Today, although following Shaanxi Automobile, Hualing, Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles, and Hongyan and other enterprises, CNHTC, FAW Jiefang, Beiben, Chang'an Heavy Duty Trucks, etc. have also stepped up efforts to develop the market, but as clean energy Natural gas, lack of clear support for policies, has always been a threshold that cannot be overcome.
