The adversity of millions of production and sales has increased, and the heavy-duty truck market accounts for 32%: in the face of the market situation in 2021, Weichai has fully laid out and seized the opportunity during the cold winter period. With the continuous deepening of upstream and downstream excellent resources and market segments, it grows against the trend. In 2021, the Group's engine production and sales are expected to exceed 1 million units, becoming the fastest growing engine company in the industry.
Medium and heavy-duty power challenge 37% share, impact market segment clear products:
After entering the full national sixth stage, the market is once again facing the test, Weichai adhering to the concept of customer satisfaction for the purpose, in the combination of products and services of the dual force, determined to 2022 production and sales in 2022 in 2021 on the basis of 1 million to increase by 10%, of which the heavy market growth target increased to 37%.
The wide application of Weichai engine is well known, so doing a good job in market segmentation is equivalent to the next good move, so Weichai has laid out an exclusive customized program for all-field market segments, winning the six eras of the Warring States. Among them, in the tractor market, for compound transportation and trunk logistics models, Weichai will create a WP13+WP13H power combination. Specifically, the WP13 horsepower covers 480/510/530/550, and is suitable for 6×4 compound traction, trunk line traction and other models. WP13H will also launch up to 600 horsepower, suitable for the market for high-end trunk traction, the biggest highlight of the WP13H series is its extensive application of Weichai's unique 50% thermal efficiency technology, which means more fuel savings for users.
In the dump truck market, Weichai will create a WP8+WP9H+WP10H power combination for lightweight dump and urban construction muck models, of which WP8 horsepower covers 320/350; WP9H horsepower covers 350/390; and WP10H horsepower covers 350/375/400.
In the truck market, for green pass and express trucks, Weichai will create a WP4.6N+WP6H+WP7H power combination. WP4.6N horsepower 220; WP6H horsepower covers 245/270; WP7H horsepower covers 245/270/300/320.
In the special vehicle market, the "WP8 + Linde Hydraulics" intelligent mixer powertrain and the "WP7H + Linde Hydraulics" single-engine washing sweeper powertrain will be laid out.
At the same time, for gas vehicles, Weichai launched the WP10.5HNG + WP13NG + WP15NG power combination, covering the market demand of a full range of gas vehicles. WP10.5HNG horsepower covers 350/390/410, suitable for short- and medium-distance traction/muck trucks; WP13NG horsepower covers 400/430/460, suitable for compound tractors; WP15NG horsepower covers 480/500/530, suitable for trunk/express tractors.
Showcasing the killer skills, Weichai WP7H engine listed:
After four years of development of a new platform, the release of Weichai's WP7H engine witnessed a historic moment in the high-performance engine of the medium truck under the H platform from scratch. As an engine specially built for medium-sized trucks under the market segment, Weichai WP7H inherits the fine tradition of Weichai H platform and interprets what is the new trump card of medium-sized power from the four aspects of "strength, province, wisdom and security".
Power: Weichai WP7H engine power coverage of 245-320 horsepower, torque range of 1000-1300N·m, compared with the same displacement of the same level of competitors power increased by 6 horsepower, torque increased by 100N·m, more powerful power output, can level more complex road conditions.
Province: The combustion system and the air system are double improved, and more than 140 kinds of combustion chamber type lines are designed, and more than 1400+ combustion combination schemes of more than 10 injectors are repeatedly iterated, and the combustion is more thorough. The intake tract is improved with high charge and low drag coefficient modeling, and the pulse exhaust is designed in combination with the addition of high-efficiency turbines, so that the intake is fuller and the exhaust is smoother. Under comprehensive working conditions, the fuel consumption of this engine is 1-2L/100km lower than that of competitors, saving 20,000 yuan in fuel costs a year.
Wisdom: The machine is equipped with Weichai's independent research and development of controllable electronic power supply and high-precision ECU, which can achieve independent control and adapt to the chinese truck environment, even in the complex environment of high temperature, high cold or high pressure, the machine can be adaptively controlled to ensure power output and improve the overall work stability.
An: Weichai WP7H has its own technical engine brakes, and the braking power is greatly improved, 20% higher than the competitors. After 23,745 hours of bench verification and 497385 kilometers of road tests, the fatigue cycle and life have been significantly improved. The engine gas distribution mechanism adopts multi-dimensional equalization technology, plastic curved surface topology and suspension isolation technology and planar acoustic package technology to reduce engine noise by 2dB, and the vibration of the whole machine reaches the national standard B level, improving customer comfort.
Directly hit the pain points of the industry and keep an eye on the service market:
While continuously promoting cost reduction, fuel consumption reduction, lightweighting, and providing customers with the best choice, customer experience and service have not slackened in the slightest, and always take customer satisfaction as the purpose.
As China's first engine to meet the Euro VI emissions of enterprises, Weichai has many years of research and development experience in the National VI standard diesel engine, and currently according to product improvement and user feedback, weichai solves the pain points of China VI power products such as SCR poisoning, SCR crystallization, urea nozzle crystallization, post-process carbon deposition, urea pump pressure failure, sensor failure and other national VI power products that appear on the market, Weichai solves the unique technical means such as working condition identification strategy, junction boundary factor identification strategy, constant power strategy, 3D filter equipment and so on.
To make users worry-free with the car, it is necessary to continuously improve product technology and complement the aftermarket services. Weichai will launch the China VI first guarantee and quality assurance policy in 2022, strengthen the learning and training of service personnel, continuously optimize the layout of the service network, and ensure the timeliness of service. At present, there are 6414 energy efficiency channels in the national road market, including 1459 core channels, and a parts reserve response system of "global distribution center + national center library" has been established, covering 82 parts center libraries in 31 provinces in China, investing billions of dollars in spare parts storage and delivery, creating greater car value for users.
Editor's Note:
Weichai is full of confidence in the development of 2022, and judging from the plans and actions of this business conference, they have set a target of 37% market share of 1.1 million engines and heavy-duty engines next year. This year's rise of adversity means that next year's spring blossoms, I believe that under the continuous efforts of Weichai people and new products, Weichai will continue to dominate the engine market and lead China's internal combustion engine to a new height.
