"I purchased 5 Howo TX7 gas vehicles at one time, and according to the current economic performance of the vehicles, I can pay back in 2 years." Pei Rongming told the reporter of "Runding Commercial Vehicle".
Under the trend of high oil prices, low freight rates and environmental protection, natural gas heavy trucks with the advantages of low fuel consumption and low life cycle cost have become a new choice for many users. As a veteran driver with 20 years of driving experience, Pei Rongming relied on his forward-looking vision and courage to make a move, and he "planted" gas heavy trucks early.
In the use of vehicles for many years, Pei Rongming naturally has his own brand preferences. "Although I have used many brands of heavy trucks, Sinotruk's product reliability and economy performance are better, and it is also the brand I use the most vehicles." He said, "Due to the needs of business and vehicle replacement, after a friend's introduction and rigorous inspection, I purchased 5 Howo TX7 gas vehicles at one time in July 2023, and now the 7 vehicles in the team are all Sinotruk brands." ”

As the saying goes, you can't put your eggs in one basket, but Pei Rongming firmly believes that the "bet" is successful. "Coal transportation is the carrying capacity and economy of the vehicle, and the economy, reliability and comfort of the Howo TX7 gas vehicle have far exceeded my expectations, and the carrying capacity is not to mention." Pei Rongming said.
The economic advantage is obvious, and the loan can be repaid in 2 years
Due to the harsh working environment of coal transportation, coupled with the continuous decline in freight rates, the profit is getting smaller and smaller, and choosing the right transport vehicle is the key to profitability.
Since the establishment of Qixian Dingye Automobile Transport Co., Ltd. in 2016, Pei Rongming, as the "head", has become more and more careful in terms of vehicle operating costs. "In the case of standard loading, Howo TX7 natural gas heavy truck 100 kilometers gas consumption of about 30 kg, compared with the previous car 2 ~ 3 kg lower, according to a round trip from Shanxi to Hebei 1000 kilometers, gas cost can save nearly 300 yuan, each car runs about 10 times a month, 5 cars can save 15,000 yuan per month, the savings are pure profits." Pei Rongming said.
A good transport vehicle can indeed get twice the result with half the effort. "Reliability of the vehicle is important, and the engine as the heart of the vehicle is even more important. Over the years, I have not only used many brands of heavy trucks, but I have also used many brands of engines on the vehicles, but Weichai's engine has the best performance. Pei Rongming said, "Howo TX7 natural gas heavy truck is equipped with Weichai WP13NG natural gas engine, which is also blessed with a number of exclusive gas-saving black technologies, and the gas consumption is lower under common working conditions." Moreover, with a maximum of 480 horsepower, it has strong power, which can easily cope with the mountain roads on this side of Shanxi, and improves the operational efficiency of the vehicle. ”
Coal transportation is heavy cargo transportation, so the loading capacity of the vehicle as well as the carrying capacity determines the upper limit of the vehicle's earning capacity. "Howo TX7 natural gas heavy truck vehicle weight is as low as 7.9 tons, compared with before, can pull more than 1 ~ 2 tons of goods, equivalent to each car per trip can earn more than 400 yuan, roughly calculated, 5 vehicles can earn more than 20,000 yuan per month."
For Pei Rongming, the economic advantages of Howo TX7 natural gas heavy truck in the process of use fully interpret the strength of its "money-making machine". "At that time, 70% of the cost of buying a car was a loan, and with the current economic performance, I believe that the loan will be repaid in two years." Pei Rongming said.
The service is timely and intimate, and the transportation is guaranteed
Different from other transportation, coal transportation pursues attendance more, so Pei Rongming also attaches more importance to vehicle after-sales service.
"I have always chosen China Heavy Duty Truck because of the intimate service of Sinotruk's relatives." Pei Rongming recalled, "What I remember the most is that once the vehicle suddenly broke down on the highway, our driver immediately dialed the 400 number of China National Heavy Duty Truck, and they immediately sent maintenance personnel from a nearby service station to come to the rescue." After overhauling, they found that the gearbox gear was faulty, coincidentally, this service station did not have the accessory, after 5 days of emergency deployment, the spare parts were finally in place, and the 2 days beyond the maintenance period were also compensated by the manufacturer for lost work. Through this incident, I think Sinotruk is really very responsible and treats the user's business as its own business. ”
Indeed, SINOTRUK's "family service" policy not only takes into account the pain points of users, but also solves the problems encountered by users during transportation from the concerns of service stations. "Since using the HOWO TX7 natural gas heavy truck, HOWO's service staff have been paying attention to my operation, often calling back and visiting, very enthusiastic." Pei Rongming said.
In addition, Pei Rongming, who was born as a driver, better understands the hard work of heavy truck drivers. Pei Rongming said: "Although we belong to short- and medium-distance transportation, it is still very hard to drive for more than ten hours a day in the pursuit of timeliness. Howo TX7 natural gas heavy truck adopts aviation-grade seats, which not only minimizes the driving shock, but also ensures the comfort of driving with its ventilation and heating function. ”
With the good means of "reducing costs with one hand and carrying profits with one hand", Howo TX7 natural gas heavy truck has become Pei Rongming's "favorite". "Since using the HOWO TX7 natural gas heavy truck, we have saved time, worry and money, virtually improved transportation revenue and created more value." Pei Rongming said.
