Despite the increase in demand, the large horsepower diesel engine market still needs to be cultivated
2023-04-15 12:12:02
The 13L machine and 500 hp have become hot words for commercial auto shows this year. Having large horsepower products not only proves that each diesel engine company has mastered the core technology, but also is a magic weapon to win in the heavy machinery competition. The heavy-duty truck market began to pick up in the first half of this year, and diesel engine companies accelerated their efforts to seize the high-powered diesel engine market.
Yuchai's 580-horsepower YC6K1358-50 engine with a variety of latest technologies, the 550-hp WP13 engine that can be started directly at -15°C without auxiliary measures, the 540-hp MC13 engine with heavy-duty technology from Mantech, and the use of vermicular cast iron technology The Xichai 500hp CA6DM3 engine ... Throughout the large-horsepower models announced by mainstream diesel engine companies, advanced materials and technologies have been used, and they have all reached 500 horsepower and have the potential to continue to improve.
However, according to a survey conducted by the reporter, although the demand for the 500-horsepower heavy-duty engine market is growing, the total market is still small, and the demand is not enough to describe it as strong.
â– demand ahead of the layout previews <br> <br> current rapid development of transport logistics to promote the demand for high-powered models, to seize market opportunities, ahead of the layout is particularly important. From the results of the interview, diesel engine manufacturers with more than 500 horsepower have already emerged in the market.
Liu Zhigang, deputy general manager of Dongfeng Liuzhou Commercial Vehicle Sales Company, told reporters that Dongfeng Liuzhou has a series of high-powered models ranging from 500 horsepower to 560 horsepower. “Although the high-power models are not mainstream models yet, Look, the sales volume of 500-horsepower and higher models is increasing rapidly, with a year-on-year increase of around 30% to 50%.â€
"Sichuan Hyundai Chuanghu heavy truck sales continued to climb in recent years, more than 400 horsepower car is still the main sales force, 520-horsepower engine sales have grown rapidly in recent years, mainly because large logistics companies are very willing to purchase more than 500 horsepower engine heavy truck, individual user demand Still less,†said Yuelin, Sichuan’s modern marketing manager.
“The demand for logistics operations is now much higher than before. For example, many companies now require 25,000 kilometers of bicycles to run for a month. Smaller horsepower models can no longer meet this requirement, so many imported heavy trucks are currently in this market. Li Qianyang, deputy general manager of FAW Xichai Sales Co., Ltd., said that Xichai is also targeting this market. The latest 13L model, CA6DM3, has entered the trial phase. “This year's goal is to put in 2000 units.â€
China National Heavy Duty Truck Group Co., Ltd. Hangzhou Engine Sales Department, the person in charge told reporters that the heavy-duty truck MC13 heavy-duty engine is mainly in the heavy truck T7H and C7H, is also in cooperation with Jianghuai on the issue of supporting cooperation is in its infancy.
SAIC Fiat Red Rock's Cursor13 engine is currently sold at a maximum of 480 horsepower, using an exhaust turbocharger, and can achieve 550 horsepower with the introduction of a VGT (variable section booster technology) supercharger. Once the market demand is enough, the 550 horsepower Cursor13 engine will be introduced into domestic production and sales as soon as possible.
â– core technology to fight the market <br> <br> our current logistics vehicles, especially the long haul transport vehicles only to meet the timeliness and efficiency, but also to take into account the economy. This brings new opportunities for diesel engine companies and also brings technical challenges. Whoever can master more advanced technologies will be able to stand invincible and grow in market development.
Looking at the existing 13L high-powered models in the market, most of them adopt the most advanced technology or introduce foreign technology platforms, which have good performance and many advantages. Yuelin said: "The Powertec engine equipped with a Tiger is a purely European-based diesel engine developed in cooperation with Ricardo and Delphi in the Hyundai Group's European laboratory. It integrates many advanced technologies of today's heavy-duty truck engines, and there are The potential of development."
In addition, YC6K1358-50, a new diesel engine introduced by Yuchai this year, is based on the DD13/15 platform, and has been independently developed by integrating a number of latest technological achievements. Its excellent performance has made Yuchai proud The slogan "The current largest torque, the largest displacement, the largest horsepower of the largest heavy-duty diesel engine" was chanted.
Heavy Trucks will continue to use the advantages of Mantech in the MC13 and become the "heart" of the high-powered technology platform.
â– popularity of the market still needs time to put up <br> <br> engine horsepower is good, but it also brings some questions to consumers, the cost increases fuel consumption to increase, in the end it pays to buy a high-powered car? In response to these questions, Li Qianyang explained that nowadays the matching ability of diesel engines has greatly improved, and horsepower does not necessarily increase fuel consumption. In particular, after the overall progress of powertrain technology, engine oil consumption can be achieved without falling.
Liu Zhigang also expressed similar views to reporters. He said that the speed of the large-horsepower car will be accelerated, which can effectively improve the efficiency of transportation, and the benefit recovery is far greater than the cost of the single machine.
In recent years, transportation companies have used the full life cycle cost of the engine for accounting. The relevant person in charge of the marketing department of CNHTC Engine Sales Co., Ltd. told the reporter that the high-horsepower engine has higher efficiency, and the high-powered model with Mantech technology has good reliability, maintenance costs will be reduced, and profits will be significantly improved.
Although the prelude to the application of large-scale horsepower has been opened, people in the industry have pointed out that full-scale adoption will still take time. Liu Zhigang believes that considering domestic factors such as the use of the environment, it is expected that China will popularize more than 500 hp models in 3 to 5 years. "At present, 13L machines have been basically popularized in foreign countries. With reference to the development path of foreign heavy machinery, China's 500-horsepower model is an inevitable development trend."
A senior personage of a logistics company gave a more conservative estimate. In the recent 2-3 years, China's economic growth has slowed down, and the volume of logistics companies has been affected. As a result, the current demand for high-powered cars has not grown significantly. The future development trend depends on the large economic environment. He also said: "The replacement of vehicles in logistics companies is gradually proceeding. When there is no significant increase in business, new vehicles will not be purchased in large quantities. Therefore, from the current development point of view, the pull of logistics on high-powered vehicles should be a slow increase. of."
