"From 2020 onwards, all the heavy trucks bought by our company are Dongfeng Tianlong, and they are all National VI Power." If nothing else, it is to see the quality and reliability of Dongfeng Tianlong. ”
Because of the influence of multiple factors, large logistics companies rarely concentrate transport vehicles on one or two brands, which not only does not put "eggs in the same basket" consideration, but also in order to be able to choose the best among many brands. But for Hebei Hengshui Linjia Freight Company (hereinafter referred to as "Linjia Freight"), such a statement seems to be unworkable, starting from the first contact with Dongfeng Tianlong in 2017, the company has purchased nearly 200 Dongfeng Tianlong heavy trucks, of which only 80 are National VI models.
So, how Dongfeng Che entered Linjia Freight, and how to be recognized by the company's boss and driver, recently, the first commercial vehicle network Xiaobian interviewed Cui Zhifeng, general manager of Linjia Freight, to listen to the story behind it.
From 1 tentative purchase to 10 units at a wholesale time
At present, Linjia Freight has developed into a large logistics company with more than 400 heavy trucks, and together with the company, in addition to the driver team, there are also expanding heavy truck models such as Dongfeng.
"Our company is doing professional logistics and transportation business, including transporting coal, iron powder and so on. At present, there are Shanxi Changzhi to Hebei Tangshan, Caofeidian to Handan and other lines, of which Hengshui is a transit station, drivers will rest here, change people to drive, people do not stop. For convenience, we set up the company in Hengshui to serve as a transportation hub and a station for drivers. Cui Zhifeng introduced.
Xiaobian learned that the round-trip distance from Changzhi in Shanxi to Tangshan in Hebei is about 1400 kilometers, covering a variety of road conditions such as mountain roads, highways, and national highways. "Our company's car is mainly on the national highway, sometimes the road conditions are not good to take the high speed, if the coal transport vehicle has been taking the high speed, it is not too cost-effective."
Able to develop and grow rapidly in a short period of time, Linjia Freight has its own industry secrets, of which choosing the right car has become the key to Cui Zhifeng's mouth. He told Xiaobian that the company initially chose other brands of heavy trucks and successively purchased more than 200 vehicles. Later, because he was familiar with the local Dongfeng commercial vehicle dealer in Hengshui and held the attitude of trying it out, Cui Zhifeng purchased a Dongfeng commercial vehicle and began to have a relationship with it. Since then, every new car of Linjia Freight has been dongfeng brand.
"The first time I bought the Dongfeng Tianlong model, it was equipped with the Dongfeng Cummins National V engine, and later I also bought the KL model with dongfeng Renault power. In June 2020, we began to buy the National VI model, and so far we have bought 80 cars, almost all of which are Tianlong VL models, with Longqing 465 horsepower engines. Cui Zhifeng said that just the day before the interview, he also sent several drivers to pick up two new cars, which are also Dongfeng Tianlong VL heavy trucks.
Up to now, Linjia Freight has nearly 200 Dongfeng heavy-duty truck models, accounting for nearly half of its Chinese six-power models, and the farthest mileage of the National Vi vehicle has run 400,000 kilometers. From the 1st to the 200th, Linjia Freight's trust in Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles is increasing day by day, and Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles' feedback to Linjia Freight is getting better and better.
The old driver's choice can not be wrong 200 Dongfeng heavy trucks have never had any problems
From the initial temptation to the current identification, although Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle missed the initial stage of Linjia Freight's entrepreneurship, it accompanied Linjia Freight through the rapid growth period of the company, and also witnessed many important moments of Linjia Freight. Nowadays, their relationship is becoming more and more intimate, and their cooperation is becoming more and more tacit.
"I started as a driver and set up my current company step by step. Before, I was also a truck driver and had 23 years of driving experience, and I had my own choices when driving and choosing a car, whether it was before or now, I can say that I didn't look away and didn't choose the wrong car. Cui Zhifeng said.
Xiaobian learned that the nearly 200 Dongfeng Tianlong currently in operation of Linjia Freight have never had quality problems, let alone the situation that the transportation is affected because of vehicle problems. "The quality of Dongfeng commercial vehicles has nothing to say, so many cars we have bought so far have been performing well, whether it is power or vehicle performance, it has been very stable, which is also an important reason why I insist on buying Dongfeng."
In terms of fuel consumption performance, Cui Zhifeng said that the company's car was 49 tons when fully loaded, equivalent to about 35 liters of fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. "Our cars take very few high speeds, try to choose the national highway, one is because we do not pursue timeliness, there is no need to run so fast, and in order to save tolls, a car does not look like much, when more than 400 cars run together, the daily toll is not a small expense."
Cui Zhifeng is also satisfied with the after-sales service of Dongfeng commercial vehicles, he told xiaobian that Dongfeng's cars are generally 50,000 kilometers maintenance once, and 4S stores can do on-site maintenance. "Many people say that the national six car is more arrogant, but I think Dongfeng's national six car is doing very well, including the problem of burning urea, and it is not as high as others say. In fact, this is the inevitable result of technological upgrading, and there is no need to dwell too much on it. ”
Editor's Note
From an old driver to an entrepreneur, Cui Zhifeng has worked hard all the way into an important stage of life, and Dongfeng commercial vehicles have also become his "weapon" to continue to work hard. From drivers to logistics company owners, from single-handed to logistics companies with more than 400 heavy trucks, Cui Zhifeng knows what is important and what cars are reliable.
