Planning for Natural Gas Market Yuchai Heavy Machinery Receiving Heavy Truck User Approval


In the gloomy market situation, how do the engine plants supporting the heavy trucks go against the trend?


Do natural gas engines - Yuchai gave such an answer.


However, Yuchai's natural gas heavy-duty engine, users can recognize it? This reporter interviewed some domestic heavy truck customers.


Haotong Transportation: Saving 15,000 yuan a day compared to fuel heavy trucks


Inner Mongolia Bayannaoer Yiteng Coal Washing Plant Haotong Transportation Company is a traditional coal transportation company (hereinafter referred to as Haotong Transportation). In recent years, the company has faced the dual pressures of rising oil prices and falling freight rates, which have been difficult.


How to reduce operating costs and increase company revenues has become a problem that must be solved in Haotong Transportation.


“In order to reduce transportation costs, we have tried many methods,” said the person in charge of Haotong Transportation Co., but in the end, he finally realized that reducing fuel costs is the most fundamental solution. “Our daily transportation route for each vehicle is fixed – it is transported from Ganqimaodu Port to the Wuzhongkou Wutengkou Yiteng Coal-washing Plant in Wuzhong Banner, Bayannur City. The route is a provincial road, one way. 320 kilometers.The vehicle load is generally about 60 tons. Calculated according to the fuel consumption of at least 40L in 100 kilometers, the fuel consumption cost per vehicle per day would be 900 yuan."

So, how to reduce fuel costs?


After some investigations, Haotong Transportation decided to use natural gas heavy trucks. “In an attempt to hold the test, the company has bought 50 LNG heavy trucks in succession, all of which are powered by Yuchai 6MK natural gas engines.” The person in charge said that the current operation of the vehicles is “very good”. “According to the operating experience of our sister company and referring to our actual situation, we set an index of 130 kilograms of gas consumption per day for the driver. The practice has proved that the performance of this group of vehicles is very good. It runs down 320 kilometers per day, and its gas consumption is only 125. Kilograms fully meet our shipping requirements."


125 kilograms of natural gas can save the cost of transportation for each vehicle.


“Our LNG gas price here is 5 yuan per kilogram. A car uses 125 kilograms of LNG a day, and the gas consumption cost is 625 yuan. Compared to a fuel truck, each vehicle can save us nearly 300 yuan in transportation costs per day. 50 A car can save 15,000 yuan a day," said the person in charge of the Haotong Transport Team.


According to reports, due to the initial exposure to the natural gas heavy truck, the driver will also encounter some problems in the use of the process, such as the engine heating too slowly in the winter, the ignition coil, spark plugs and higher failure rate. In order to solve these problems, Yuchai Engine Service Station specially set up a special service team to ensure the actual use of vehicles and relieve users of their worries.


Due to the recognition of Yuchai natural gas engine quality and the satisfaction of its service, Hao Tong Transportation official said that the company has 250 vehicle renewal plans in the near future and the initial intention has been to finalize the heavy truck type equipped with Yuchai natural gas engine.


Tangshan Jidong: sufficient power to adapt to the needs of the road conditions


The vehicles of the Tangshan Jidong Cement Plant's transportation fleet travel to and from Beijing and Tianjin's expressways and some construction sites on a daily basis and are responsible for transporting the company’s own cement products.


Since the natural gas supporting facilities in the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan economic circle were relatively complete, at the beginning of this year, the transportation team of Tangshan Jidong Cement Plant purchased 50 natural gas heavy trucks, which were also matched with Yuchai natural gas engines. However, unlike Haotong Transportation, Jidong cement transport team values ​​the Yuchai engine's power performance.


“Our vehicles usually pull 36 tons or 45 tons of cement, except that they often run on highways and occasionally directly to the construction site. But wherever the car goes, Yuchai’s engine gives us the feeling that there is sufficient power. Strong explosive power," said the person in charge of the Jidong cement plant transportation team.

In addition to strong dynamics, the team leader is also satisfied with the vehicle's gas consumption level. “The roads for this heavy natural gas heavy truck are construction sites and highways. When the vehicle is carrying 36 tons, the average gas consumption is 58.38 kilograms; when the 45 tload is 45 tons, the average gas consumption is 63.19 kilograms. This gas consumption is within our scope of acceptance.”


Similarly, due to the excellent performance of Yuchai's engine during its use, the head of the Jidong cement plant's transportation team stated that the follow-up vehicle will still be updated with natural gas heavy trucks equipped with Yuchai engines.


There are many natural gas heavy truck users such as Haotong Transportation and Jidong Cement Transportation Team. In the survey of the first commercial vehicle network reporter, more than 60% of users expressed satisfaction with the gas consumption of Yuchai natural gas engine, and 70% of users expressed satisfaction with the power of the Yuchai engine.


Of course, since the development of domestic natural gas heavy trucks is still in its infancy, Yuchai's natural gas engines will encounter this or that problem, but in the words of a user, “Look at the efforts of Yuchai service personnel, I believe, jade. Chai natural gas engines will surely become more mature and become the high-quality power for domestic natural gas heavy trucks."
