What is the future development trend of heavy trucks?

According to expert analysis, the concept of developing and developing automobile products based on people's orientation is increasingly valued by enterprises in the development and production of heavy-duty trucks. Global heavy-duty trucks will develop towards the "four modernizations" of safety, comfort, environmental protection and humanization. Specifically, the new trend in the development of heavy trucks is:

The polarization of heavy and light trucks. Compared with medium and light trucks, heavy trucks have become the main force in road transportation due to their advantages of low transportation costs and high economic benefits. In the long-distance transportation market, due to the characteristics of heavy-duty vehicles with large loading capacity, high transportation efficiency, and good economy, the market share of medium-sized trucks has been declining year by year. Due to their small size and flexible transportation, light-duty trucks have obvious advantages in the transportation of a large number of short-distance scattered goods. They have replaced some of the functions of medium-sized trucks and thus occupied part of the medium-sized truck market.

However, medium-sized trucks have a solid and solid foundation in terms of product technology and market, and their life cycle will definitely last for a long time.

Power Diversification Currently, heavy-duty trucks are almost exclusively powered by diesel engines. In the future, such models will increasingly use fuel cells and hydrogen as power sources.

Trucks need to be equipped with high-power engines, which is very necessary when the vehicle accelerates and climbs hills with full load. However, when the car is running at a constant speed on a flat road, there is no need to use such a large-displacement engine that consumes a lot of fuel. Therefore, designers have researched and developed a "variable displacement" engine. This type of electronically controlled variable displacement engine has been used in the trucks of General Motors in the United States in recent years.

In addition, hybrid-driven vehicles will have huge development potential and good market prospects, whether in the field of cars or large vehicles.

Large tonnage and increased power Large-tonnage heavy-duty vehicles have the advantages of low cost, high speed, and safety. After the introduction of fuel tax, this advantage will be more obvious. The rapid development of highways has also created unique conditions for the widespread use of heavy trucks; especially today, as the status of container transportation in road transportation continues to increase. Since diesel vehicles have broad prospects both in terms of economy and environmental protection, the development of heavy-duty vehicles towards diesel engines will further accelerate.

Relevant experts predict that in the next 50 years, the maximum power of the world's most advanced trucks will reach 735 kilowatts, equivalent to 1,000 horsepower, and the total vehicle mass will reach 100 tons.

Emissions are more environmentally friendly. In accordance with the requirements of the "Technical Policy for the Prevention and Control of Motor Vehicle Emission Pollution" issued by the State Environmental Protection Administration, truck emission control reaches equivalent to European II standards and strives to be in line with international emission control levels. Meeting increasingly stringent environmental regulations will drive automobile companies to adopt new technologies such as electronic injection and dual-fuel engines to reduce emissions and pollution. The implementation of Euro III standards is the commitment of the Chinese automobile industry to humans and the environment. At present, our country's automobile manufacturers are vigorously pursuing this goal.

Safety becomes active Active safety, also known as "one-time safety", refers to the car's ability to avoid accidents. In terms of accident avoidance, the mainstream models of foreign heavy trucks apply some technologies and configurations to improve the active safety of trucks, such as anti-lock braking systems (ABS systems), active anti-collision systems, and automatic drive control systems (ASR systems). Also known as TCS), second brake light, electronic monitoring brake and other technologies.

Control is more convenient. In the 21st century, electronic control of cars can be realized through the steering wheel mechanism and a system composed of radar, cameras, infrared devices, etc., reducing the incidence of traffic accidents. With the help of satellites and advanced cameras and computer systems, autonomous and unmanned driving of cars can be realized, with an accuracy error of no more than 5 centimeters in the driving direction. The driver's working environment will also be greatly improved, driving fatigue will be greatly reduced, and driving safety will also be improved. The humanized design of the heavy truck cab decoration is completely comparable to that of a car. The driver can expect a spacious cab, comfortable sleeper, wrap-around instrument panel, automatic transmission, high-end audio, TV, satellite communication tracking service system, etc. Free yourself from stressful operations.

Technology Intelligence The current application of information technology in automobiles can be summarized into four aspects, namely, it is mainly used in vehicle safety systems, networks, communications, navigation systems, intelligent transportation systems and mobile multimedia systems. Based on technical principles such as Global Positioning System (GPS), Geographic Information System (GIS), mobile communication network, and International Network Transmission Control Protocol (TCP/P), data transmission, voice communication, target tracking, and automatic alarm can be easily realized on the car. As well as the functions of various public information and practical information services, and can be combined with 110 and other systems and various databases to achieve a wider range of applications.

The heavy-duty use of special vehicles has been included in the "Development of the Road Transport Industry" as the country has included the development of container trucks, vans, special purpose vehicles, heavy-duty diesel trucks over 8 tons and accelerated the vanization of ordinary open-top trucks. After the "Planning Outline" and the formulation of a series of preferential policies, the growth in demand for heavy-duty vehicles and special-purpose vehicles in the freight market has become an inevitable trend.

According to data, in the next five years, the total number of operating trucks in my country will reach 6 million, of which heavy-duty special vehicles account for more than 15% and heavy-duty trucks account for more than 10%; within 10 years, the total number of operating trucks will reach 7.5 million. Among them, heavy-duty special vehicles account for more than 30%, vans account for more than 20% of ordinary trucks, and heavy-duty vehicles account for more than 20%. Aiming at the booming development trend of the heavy-duty special-purpose vehicle market and attaching importance to the development of heavy-duty special-purpose vehicles is a directional development goal.

Special-purpose vehicle products are developing in the direction of heavy-duty, strong special functions, and high technological content. In the future, the mainstream market of special-purpose vehicles will mainly focus on the two major sectors of urban construction services and high-grade highway transportation management
