The commercial sea competition has you recruit and me to block, as well as to create a win-win mutual achievement. Kangmai entered the Chinese market, and all partners are moving towards the goal of win-win cooperation, mutual achievements, jointly promote technological innovation, and promote the comprehensive upgrading of transportation equipment efficiency and safety performance.
In 2009, The first foundry of Camai in China was established in Shandong, and in December 2010, The first Kangmai wheel hub assembly rolled off the production line in China. In just over 10 years, Kang has provided more than 7 million wheel hub assemblies in the Chinese market and more than 35 million wheel assemblies to the global scale. According to the data of fiscal year 2021, the sales volume of Kangmai China (including import and export) reached 3 billion yuan.
Guo Nan, Global Vice President of Cammai and General Manager of China
"As a global 'wheel end total solution leader', Cammai has always maintained its relentless pursuit of advanced technology and excellent performance. The launch of the PreSet® Plus® product on top of the original PreSet product is a good proof. At a media conference held in Beijing a few days ago, Guo Nan, global vice president and general manager of Kangmai China, systematically introduced Kangmai China's 2021-2025 new product planning, as well as technological innovation, product layout and service improvement for the development trend of commercial vehicles.
Comer is part of Astram Industrial Group corporation in the United States, and its entry into the Chinese market coincides with a period of explosive demand for commercial vehicles, especially trucks. In 2010, China's commercial vehicle sales were 4.3041 million units, an increase of 29.90% year-on-year. Among them, the sales of heavy-duty trucks exceeded one million units in history, reaching 1.02 million units, an increase of 59.93% year-on-year. Then until 2015, the market fluctuated, but the overall market volume continued to expand, and ushered in the "five consecutive rises" in 2016-2020. It can be said that Cammai entered China at the most suitable time and achieved mutual achievements with partners.
The art of war has a cloud of "the upper soldiers cut the plot, the second cut the traffic, the second cut the troops, and the next siege of the city." Kangmai has not encountered competition and resistance in China, but Kangmai has always adhered to quality in the competition, providing customers with the best products and the best service, and achieving "subjugating soldiers without a fight" with strength and brand influence.
For more than a decade, there have been challengers, imitators, and copycats in the industry, often losing after a challenge and imitation. Why?
Without him! However, the skill is not as good as Cammel.
As early as the beginning of china's factory, Kangmai has invested in the world's most advanced fully automated casting production line and robot machining production line for precision wheel manufacturing, fully ensuring that the products are homogeneous and standard with the international standard. Specific to the product, the impact and change of Kangmai oil lubrication pre-adjustment maintenance-free wheels and visual end caps in the Chinese truck industry is revolutionary.
Using pre-adjusted bearing technology, Cammai PreSet® long-life wheels enable high-precision setting of bearing clearance by tightly controlling all critical dimensional tolerances of the hub, bearing and patented design spacer. PreSet Plus® products maintain all the advantages of PreSet®, and add built-in/integrated shaft head nut assemblies with independent intellectual property rights (integrated spindle head nuts, nut fixing rings, locking circlips, locking gaskets), using further optimized precision spacers to meet greater preload, while optimizing and improving bearing design standards, helping to reduce the phenomenon of inner rings, shaft head wear, bearing failure, oil seal failure, spacer wear, etc. that are prone to occur at the end of the wheel after 500,000 km. This maximizes performance and durability.
In the Chinese market, it is precisely because of the rapid establishment of a leader position in the wheel industry that "Cammai" has become synonymous with maintenance-free wheel hubs and visual wheel ends.
"While continuing to consolidate the advantages of wheel hub products, Kangmai will accelerate the promotion of high-performance brake discs, TRUTURN® brake drums, Kangmai wheel hub lubricants and other products." Guo Nan, global vice president of Kangmai and general manager of China, pointed out that China's truck market has begun to shift from the incremental market to the stock market after a period of rapid development.
The unique design of the front axle end cover of Kangmai makes many end users mistakenly believe that Kangmai only provides front axle supporting products, in fact, Kangmai drive axle hub has also established advantages in the industry, providing overall solutions for major OEMs. In particular, it is worth paying special attention to the fact that with the large-scale entry of the maintenance-free wheel hub of The Camai trailer into the market, the future prospects are promising.
Not long ago, the Kangmai trailer maintenance-free wheel supporting the new national standard gooseneck barn gate semi-trailer (13m) completed more than 10,000 kilometers of inland large ring line testing, starting from Mengyin, Shandong Province, passing through Henan, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Yunnan, Tibet, Qinghai and other provinces and regions, experienced high temperature, high cold, high corrosion, plateau and other extreme transportation environment tests, through the Qinling, Kunmo Expressway 27 kilometers long downhill, Nu River 72 turns, and hundreds of kilometers of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau permafrost belt and other typical bad road conditions.
Along the way, Cammai wheels demonstrated ultra-high reliability and excellent performance. In the actual measurement of the long downhill of Kunmo Expressway, under the working condition of the main car opening the hydraulic retarder, the vehicle drove at a speed limit of 40km/h according to the regulations, and the end of the downhill section entered the service area, and the real-time detection temperature of the maintenance-free visible wheel end of Kangmai was only 62.8 °C.
Wang Qingran, a road test driver, feels that the trailer equipped with Kangmai maintenance-free wheels has better driving smoothness than the general trailer. "The key is security visibility. The wheel state of the general trailer can only be inferred from the highway, and once the driver feels strange, it is too late. Through the visible wheel ends of Cammy, you can intuitively see the oil level and understand the safety situation. ”
The gold cup and silver cup are not as good as the user's reputation, and the gold award and silver award are not as good as the user praise. Senior card friend Wang Hailong also deeply experienced the new national standard trailer equipped with Kangmai maintenance-free wheels in the road test, he said, "For the reliability and safety of the driving vehicle, the wheel hub plays an equally important role with the engine, transmission and other key assemblies." In special sections of the Kunmo Highway such as the 'Slope of Death', there are many safety accidents caused by wheel hub problems. The performance of Cammai's maintenance-free wheels is indeed worth paying attention to."
Huang Donglei, Product Service Manager of Cammai China
Huang Donglei, product service manager of Kangmai China, said that when talking about trailer supporting products, Kangmai maintenance-free wheels further strengthen the safety and reliability of vehicles, and also help to improve the economics of vehicle operation. "The first is to significantly reduce the number of pit stops and stop times due to vehicle maintenance, thereby improving the attendance rate; then, directly reducing the maintenance costs; if the main car is formed with the whole vehicle, the economic benefits are more significant."
Start from the heart and move toward the new. With ingenuity and focus to create safety, innovation and adherence to the future.
"Kangmai's development is inseparable from innovation, and we will continue to adhere to this in the future." In China, Kangmai continues to actively explore the heavy truck market and trailer market, and also launches corresponding products for the medium truck market. In addition, there are lightweight solutions for commercial vehicle chassis, as well as corresponding solutions for new energy (pure electric) commercial vehicles and driverless trucks. Guo Nan pointed out that under the trend of the new four modernizations of automobiles (electrification, networking, intelligence, and sharing), the development of commercial vehicles has entered a period of epoch-making change, and Kangmai will, as always, based on innovation and lead the development of the industry with greater enthusiasm.
