Under the national strategy of "carbon peaking in 2030 and carbon neutrality in 2060", clean energy and electrification of vehicles and equipment are becoming a social consensus, and it is the general trend to accelerate the transformation of the construction machinery industry to new energy.

Traditional construction machinery using "fuel" as energy, especially on-site heavy trucks, mining trucks, loaders and other "oil tigers", is bound to usher in a protracted industrial revolution amid the global carbon emission requirements and the wave of new energy. And electrification is at the heart of this change.

SHANTUI, which is in the first echelon of domestic construction machinery electrification, has developed from the world's first pure electric bulldozer to today's newly upgraded third-generation pure electric loader with its rich R&D experience and mature product manufacturing advantages accumulated in the industry for decades. It has become the most active trend-setter in the electrification wave.

The sea of stars is near, but the electrification of construction machinery is still in its infancy, and the future can be described as both opportunities and challenges.

The advantage of "product power" makes a solid foundation

As a veteran manufacturer who has been working in the construction machinery industry for decades, SHANTUI has deep knowledge in the construction of "upstream chain". In the process of moving from fuel to electric drive, it has given the brand a unique "product power" advantage.

With the dominant hole card in hand, you will naturally win the game. In recent years, relying on a deep understanding of construction equipment manufacturing and supporting systems, SHANTUI takes the pure electrification of loaders and bulldozers as the entry point, strives to create a complete sequence of new energy construction equipment, and transforms the self-developed pure electric drive technology into improved products The new kinetic energy of core competitiveness actively embraces the development of the times.

In the interview, Wang Zhaoliang, product manager of SHANTUI new energy, specifically mentioned that the domestic mature supporting system is also one of the boosters for the rapid development of SHANTUI pure electric equipment. It adopts domestic supporting brands, and it can be regarded as a leading and mature one in the world.”

With the skilled equipment manufacturing experience and the assistance of the mature domestic supporting system, the high-quality electric equipment produced has become the solid cornerstone of SHANTUI's future development strategy.

"New energy" and "new intelligence" are equally important

"In addition to complying with the guidelines of the national strategy, the environmental protection and economic benefits of pure electric equipment are very prominent." When talking about the value of electric equipment, Manager Wang summed it up into two major parts: environmental protection and economic benefits. .

The environmental benefit lies in conforming to the national policy and greatly improving the construction safety in enclosed spaces such as mountains and tunnels. And engineering equipment as "production means", the improvement of economic benefits is the eternal proposition of product development.

"As far as our pure electric loaders are concerned, based on the calculation of 3,000 hours of work a year, it can save about 270,000 in operating costs. Basically, after a year and a half or two years, the break-even point can be reached. It is also the reason why construction machinery, especially the charging loader, is actively used by customers." The cost advantage of the whole life cycle is the foundation of SHANTUI's electrified products. On the other hand, through its own energy recovery technology and working mode switching technology, it can further reduce the cost of energy use.

If new energy has brought about a reduction in the cost of use, then the application of intelligent technology in SHANTUI electric equipment has brought about a revolution in work efficiency.

"Now we have the equivalent of this kind of vehicle control technology, and we can customize the development of the whole machine program according to the actual working conditions of the customer. For example, its working conditions require large traction or faster operation speed. It can be customized and developed according to its working conditions, which can more efficiently meet the actual application needs of customers.” Different working conditions can be adjusted accordingly. In the description of manager Wang Zhaoliang, this is only SHANTUI The first step towards high-end new energy equipment.

"The level of equipment intelligence at the use level has also been greatly improved. For example, the cooling system of a pure electric loader can realize automatic temperature control adjustment. The current operating mode has also been greatly improved, and the equipment's shovel loading function , automatic reversing function, KD automatic shifting function, horn function, etc. can be controlled on the multi-function watch, so that the manual operation is greatly simplified, and the work efficiency is also greatly improved compared to the past, it can be said that the new Energy electrification products have brought a great improvement to the company's product level ratio, because the next step in new energy is the development of this advanced intelligence."

The product strategy with equal emphasis on "new energy" and "intelligence" makes SHANTUI break the original product framework, from the iteration of a single device power source, to a jump in the product level. The SHANTUI, which focuses on working conditions, combines "new energy" and "intelligence" to tailor-made personalized product solutions, and also provides a new idea for the future exploration and development of the construction machinery industry.

In this "new blue ocean" that has attracted much attention, the electrification process of SHANTUI's products has not been smooth sailing. The supply gap between power batteries and core chips is like a sword of Damocles, which is clearly hanging on the top of the newly born supply chain. But what is certain is that SHANTUI will not stop exploring the electrification of equipment in this rising super track. Today, with the demand for low-carbon emissions and the continuous upgrading of new energy technologies, industrial transformation with electrification as the core has become inevitable.

In the future, driven by the new generation of information technologies such as 5G technology, big data, cloud computing, etc., the process of intelligent construction machinery will press the fast-forward button, and the tassels of the wave of electrical machinery development may exceed everyone's expectations. Here In the process, can SHANTUI carry the banner of China's intelligent manufacturing and become the number one player in overtaking in industrial corners? It is worth our expectation!
