A short period of ten years, known as China's domestic heavy truck "cradle" Chinese Zhongqijituan, independent innovation as a business development of the "lifeline", by speeding up the supply side reform and the release of the vitality of enterprises, promote the China "national heavy truck" into the world advanced level, to achieve sixty years old state-owned phoenix.

Independent innovation stepping into the advanced ranks of world heavy truck

In China Chongqijituan invested billions of dollars into the technology research and development center, the reporter saw the vehicle hub test bench of a more than 40 ton heavy-duty vehicle weight being tested, the test platform is housed in a huge barn environment.

Ding Weiyun, deputy director of the technical center of China National Heavy Truck Group, told reporters that the R & D center has the capability of vehicle equipment testing in line with international standards. The test bench can simulate the temperature in the warehouse environment and 45 to 60 in 5% 95%%, humidity, can become the "scorching desert", and becomes a "cold", the dripping water freezes to a series of experiments on the dynamic performance of the vehicle and the heat balance etc..

Who could have thought that 16 years ago, it was an old state-owned enterprise with a total loss of 8 billion 300 million yuan and was on the verge of bankruptcy. China Heavy Truck Group, founded in 1956, is the cradle of heavy duty automobile industry in china". In 1960, the new China's first heavy truck "the Yellow River JN150" 8 tons of heavy truck was born here, ending the history of China can not produce heavy vehicles.

Ma Chunji, the party secretary and chairman of China National Heavy Duty Truck Group, said that in the last century, from 60s to 90s, China National Heavy Duty Truck made a great contribution to the development of China's heavy duty automobile industry. However, in the process of transforming from planned economy to market economy, it has fallen into the dilemma of development. By 1999, the asset liability ratio of enterprises is as high as 138%. More than ten thousand employees have not been able to pay wages for more than ten months. Production has been paralyzed and faced with bankruptcy crisis.

In this critical time of vital importance, under the guidance of the State Council, 2000 China's implementation of the reform and reorganization, opening a new journey of ashes.

Before the reform and reorganization, China heavy truck products have only one series and 78 models. The annual output of heavy duty vehicles is only 3800, the patent technology is zero, and the lack of independent innovation ability is the biggest obstacle to the development of enterprises." Ma Chunji said.

From the first year after the reorganization, Chinese truck will be independent innovation as a business development of the "lifeline", establish the technology leading strategy etc. the four strategy, has invested about 20000000000 Yuan for technological innovation and product development, built in more than 20 with the international advanced level or close to the international level of the vehicle and key assembly, parts manufacturing various types of production line.

In 2009, Chinese Zhongqi and the German man company to establish strategic partnership, as well as a comprehensive introduction of vehicle assembly, parts and manufacturing technology, the core assembly and the Grumman synchronous production engine, vehicle bridge, cab, and with 51% of the absolute controlling stake will develop firmly in their own hands to create a new model of autonomy. Foreign cooperation in China's automobile industry.

Cultivate independent R & D capability, inject momentum into the development of enterprises. At the end of 2008, China National Heavy Duty Truck launched a new generation of heavy truck HOWO-7, which employs more than 130 latest patent technologies, and its driving comfort, safety, reliability and electronic level have reached the international advanced level.

"Technological innovation" has become the accelerator of the leap forward development of China National Heavy Duty truck." China Heavy Truck Group Party committee deputy secretary Yu Youde said that at present, China National Heavy duty truck has accumulated 3462 patents authorized by the state approved 202 invention patents, the domestic heavy truck industry has the largest number of patents.

Especially the heavy truck China cooperation with man's SITRAK series of products, the key parts of the engine, gearbox and axle, 1 million 500 thousand kilometers without overhaul of B10 life, 100 thousand km long oil change intervals, favored by the market.

"Two pioneering" initiative to adapt to the "new normal" economy"

In recent years, the world economic downturn, the downward pressure on the domestic economy, the domestic heavy truck industry encountered multiple challenges. Faced with the economic new normal, heavy truck Chinese adhere to market-oriented, user centered, starting from the supply side, to the full implementation of the transfer mode, adjust the structure as the main content of the "two business" project, from the pursuit of "speed number" to pursue "quality and efficiency".

"With the coming of the industrial era, Chinese's 4" targeting this new target of intelligent car, intelligent truck "officially launched in September this year, China's first with completely independent intellectual property rights of Shantou techlab".

Ding Weiyun introduced, the new application before the collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning five vehicles driving intelligent technology, can automatically adjust the speed, and keep the car in front of the safe distance from the vehicle, automatic braking without driver intervention under control and acceleration; when chasing tail risk, early warning, active braking in order to avoid or reduce the collision.

Chinese Chongqijituan general manager Cai Dong said that the China heavy truck through the application of intelligent and intelligent network technology, greatly improve the driving safety, and has excellent economy, compared with the ordinary truck fuel consumption decreased by 5%, walk in the forefront of the domestic industry.

Since last year, China heavy truck in the dangerous goods transport vehicle application vehicle driving intelligent technology, after thousands of related vehicle test verification, in the control of vehicles without collision, no rollover record.

In order to adapt to the current logistics new format changes, China heavy truck to increase the proportion of road vehicles such as tractors, continuous development of new models, light truck, medium-sized truck sales increased substantially. Through the development of intelligent system, China National Heavy duty truck has developed a variety of road vehicles suitable for fine management of the city, opened a new market.

Now, Chinese heavy truck from the previous single series to Shantou Steyr Howard, Decca nine series 3000 models of products covering heavy, medium and light off, a full range of commercial vehicles, obvious advantages of high-end, high-end products are heavy and economical.

Ma Chunji said that in the future, Chinese heavy truck will be an international perspective, always adhere to the commercial vehicle synchronization with the world advanced level, to create a level of internationalization, and operating income have independent R & D capability and sustainable development of hundreds of billions of commercial vehicle enterprises.
