In the wave of accelerating the transformation to low-carbon and intelligent in the global commercial vehicle field, the entire industry is experiencing unprecedented profound changes and development opportunities. As the backbone of China's commercial vehicle industry, SINOTRUK closely grasps the pulse of the times, and its future development strategy is closely linked to the transformation trend of the global industry, jointly drawing a blueprint for the new low-carbon logistics era.
At the 2024 International Commercial Vehicle Show (2024 IAA) in Hannover, Germany, which has just been successfully concluded, China National Heavy Duty Truck made an outstanding appearance, bringing its newly upgraded Yellow River hydrogen internal combustion engine traction train, Shandeka hydrogen fuel cell tractor, HOWO commander pure electric light truck, Bosheng pickup truck and other 7 products to amaze the world. In this exhibition, SINOTRUK closely follows the core concept of "Zero to Hero", shapes the green industry ecology with science and technology, and jointly guards the green home. The products on display represent the latest scientific and technological achievements in China's commercial vehicle industry, and demonstrate SINOTRUK's firm determination and outstanding contribution in promoting the intelligent and low-carbon process of commercial vehicles.
SINOTRUK's exhibits attracted great attention from professional visitors and media from all over the world. These products not only achieve the perfect combination of low carbon emission and high efficiency in the power system, but also make breakthroughs in intelligence and networking, such as the application of automatic driving assistance systems, the upgrading of remote monitoring and fault diagnosis technology, etc., all of which demonstrate the strong strength and forward-looking vision of SINOTRUK in technological innovation and product upgrading.
Independent intelligent manufacturing drives the future of green transportation
The newly released and upgraded Yellow River hydrogen internal combustion engine traction train on the media day of the exhibition once again refreshed the limit record of low wind resistance design in the heavy truck industry with its drag coefficient of 0.286. This milestone achievement of independent intelligent manufacturing indicates that the energy efficiency of vehicles will be improved by about 15% in long-distance transportation, and it also marks a major breakthrough in the forefront of Sinotruk's global commercial heavy truck technology. The car is designed with water droplets as the design concept, and the cab adopts a streamlined shape that imitates water droplets, with a narrow waist line in front and wide in the back, and the overall drop-shaped shape forms the basis of ultra-low wind resistance. The design of the trailer is cleverly integrated into the bionic "fish back" drag reduction concept, creating the ultimate wind resistance performance. In addition, through the application of more than 20 active and passive drag reduction technologies such as active air intake grille, electronic rearview mirror, hidden door handles, and fluid guidance for the whole vehicle, it helps the vehicle to further break through the limit of low wind resistance.
The release of the Yellow River hydrogen internal combustion engine traction train is not only a concentrated display of Sinotruk's technical strength, but also a shining new business card of "China's commercial vehicle intelligent manufacturing" to the global commercial vehicle industry, explorers of the future automobile industry, media friends, partners and users. It reflects SINOTRUK's unremitting pursuit of green and efficient transportation solutions, and highlights the firm pace and outstanding achievements of China's automobile manufacturing industry on the road of intelligent and low-carbon transformation.
The advent of the Yellow River hydrogen internal combustion engine traction train has undoubtedly injected new vitality and inspiration into the development of the global commercial vehicle market at this Hannover Motor Show, leading the industry to a cleaner and smarter future.
Diversified layout, leading the reform of the low-carbon logistics industry
It is reported that in the past 20 years, SINOTRUK has attached great importance to the layout and deep cultivation of the international market, and has accumulated profound globalization concepts and experience. In recent years, it has entered the fast lane of high-quality development, with steady growth in performance, strong leadership in the industry, particularly rapid development of globalization strategy, and continuous expansion of service quality and efficiency in the global market. According to statistics, Sinotruk has exported products to more than 150 countries or regions, and the cumulative export of heavy trucks has exceeded 600,000. It has established nearly 1,000 distribution outlets and 80 overseas offices around the world, forming a global marketing and service network.
At this auto show, the appearance of SINOTRUK's hydrogen fuel cell tractor, which is supported by a series of cutting-edge technologies such as hydrogen fuel cell system, electric drive axle, vehicle control and transmission control, can be described as "attracting countless fans". The cruising range is up to 1200km, and the whole journey has zero carbon emissions. The application of integrated two-speed electric drive axle, each with two sets of 275kW flat wire permanent magnet synchronous motors on a single axle, the system efficiency is as high as 94.5%, the maximum total power is 1100kW, and the maximum torque at the wheel end is 86000N.m.
In addition to hydrogen energy, the SITRAK electric axle tractor that meets the needs of trunk logistics and transportation scenarios has also made breakthroughs. The vehicle adopts modular integration and integrated design of vehicle and electricity, and is equipped with CATL's 600kWh CTB lithium iron phosphate power battery, with a cruising range of up to 450km. It adopts three motor configurations, with a power of up to 825kW, a maximum output torque of 75,000N.m, a transmission efficiency of more than 94.5%, strong power and worry-free battery life.
In addition to these three models, popular models such as the HOWO Commander electric light truck and the Bosheng pickup truck have also attracted the attention of the global commercial vehicle industry. These models cover multiple market segments such as heavy trucks, light trucks, and light vehicles, fully demonstrating Sinotruk's rich product line and strong market competitiveness. These models integrate oriental aesthetics and practical functions of commercial vehicles in design, and realize the leap from "manufacturing" to "intelligent manufacturing" in technology.
As a grand event of the commercial vehicle industry, the Hannover Motor Show, which lasted for nearly a week, is not only a display platform for new technologies and new products, but also a palace for industry exchanges and ideological collisions. At the auto show, Sinotruk's wonderful performance won wide coverage and praise from domestic and foreign media, aroused heated discussions and attention in the industry, and let the world see the rise of China's commercial vehicle companies.
In the future, SINOTRUK will continue to uphold the concept of innovative, green and intelligent development, work with global partners to jointly promote the sustainable development of the commercial vehicle industry, and contribute China's strength to the green and intelligent transformation of global logistics and transportation.
