On June 19th, the XCMG Heavy Truck-Tanghong Heavy Industry New Energy Product Promotion Conference and 1500 Order Signing Ceremony with the theme of "Aim at Carbon Neutrality and Build New Tangshan" was grandly held in Tangshan, Hebei. Tanghong Special Purpose Vehicle Co., Ltd. Chairman Wang Haotao, General Manager Feng Jiajia of Xuzhou Xugong New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd. and other leaders, users and media attended the meeting. So far, XCMG has 3,000 new energy heavy trucks in operation across the country.

In 2020, at the United Nations General Assembly, my country proposed that carbon dioxide emissions should reach the peak before 2030, and strive to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. In this context, Tangshan, as an industrial-intensive city, naturally bears the brunt of carbon emission control. It is understood that in 2018 alone, the output of pig iron, crude steel and steel in Tangshan accounted for about 15% of the country's total output, emitting a large amount of greenhouse gases and air pollutants.

In order to control pollution and protect the environment, Tangshan has formed continuous governance policies and regulatory guidelines to provide policy support for the strict implementation of the "dual carbon target". In terms of road transportation, since 2020, Tangshan has continuously introduced new energy heavy trucks to reduce carbon emissions. According to industry insiders, the number of heavy trucks in Tangshan is about 100,000, and about 25,000 are renewed annually. Many scenarios such as global ports, steel plants, and muck can be fully electrified, and the number is about 10,000.

With such a large demand for new energy heavy trucks, XCMG Heavy Trucks, which has deployed new energy heavy trucks in advance, seized the development opportunities and took the lead in introducing 1,500 new energy heavy trucks in Tangshan.

Another embodiment of XCMG's new energy strategy

In the field of new energy heavy trucks, XCMG heavy trucks not only have a complete product spectrum, but also lead the industry in R&D and manufacturing capabilities, as well as an overall electrification solution. In 2020, XCMG Heavy Truck held the "XCMG Complete Set of New Energy Logistics Equipment and Smart Battery Replacement Products" press conference, and the "China's First Urban New Energy Dump Truck Power Switch Demonstration Operation Project" landed in Xuzhou, launching the XCMG New Energy Heavy Truck brand.

"Following Xuzhou, in 2021, XCMG New Energy's power replacement products will be put into actual operation in Henan, Xinjiang and other markets. XCMG New Energy heavy trucks have become the driving force to support energy conservation, emission reduction, green manufacturing, and help the country win the battle of'pollution prevention' One of them has become a new type of "strategic weapon" for XCMG to transform and upgrade, maintain technological leadership, and lay out future global competition." Feng Jiajia said. This time, XCMG Heavy Truck signed an order for 1,500 vehicles in Tangshan. At the same time, it also delivered a batch of E700 pure electric tractors (replacement version) on site. These vehicles can meet the needs of power plants, mines, heavy industry, ports, cities, and public water transportation. Operational requirements for large scenarios.

Feng Jiajia said: "The pure electric tractor delivered to Tanghong Heavy Industry this time is a product that the company strictly follows the Tangshan tractor product standard and combines the customer's own needs, with great concentration in research and development, and ingenuity manufacturing, specifically for the Tangshan market. While meeting the latest national standards, the technical level has reached the domestic leading level. This is another embodiment of XCMG's strategic achievements in the field of new energy vehicles with "multi-level layout and comprehensive efforts"."

Wang Haotao also said: “The cooperation between XCMG and Tanghong Heavy Industry will create a new highlight of the close integration of Tangshan’s equipment manufacturing industry with the green energy industry, and play an active role in serving ports, serving steel, and serving logistics and transportation. The move will provide an important guarantee for Tangshan to promote green development and build an ecological Tangshan. I believe that with the joint efforts of both parties, a new world of efficient, environmentally friendly and energy-saving special vehicles will be opened up."

The XCMG E700 pure electric tractor delivered this time is a battery replacement version, which can realize the separation of vehicle and electricity, so that the cost of buying a car is basically the same as that of a fuel vehicle, and it only takes 5 minutes to realize the rapid battery replacement function, which is comparable to the refueling time and can be effective Solve the bottleneck problem of long battery life of pure electric heavy trucks, and ensure the efficient operation of "people stopping without stopping".

In addition, the key point is that the use cost of XCMG new energy heavy trucks is relatively low. According to the current actual operating scenarios, a new energy heavy truck can pay back its costs in about two years, which is not much different from the time it takes for traditional fuel vehicles to pay back. Moreover, due to the low maintenance cost, the annual cost savings of using XCMG new energy heavy trucks can reach more than 100,000 yuan. In order to ensure the worry-free operation of heavy-duty truck replacement, Tangshan has carried out an intensive layout on the charging and replacement power station. In 2021, Tangshan will build a total of 100 charging stations to serve 3,500 pure electric heavy trucks; in 2023, a total of 600 charging stations will be established to serve 10,000 pure electric heavy trucks; in 2025, full coverage of pure electric heavy trucks in Tangshan will be achieved.

Up to now, XCMG has more than 3,000 pure electric heavy trucks in operation all over the country, and accumulated a large amount of actual operating data. According to feedback, XCMG heavy trucks have made targeted improvements and innovations in products, and continuously expanded product advantages. In the current pure electric heavy-duty truck market with increasingly fierce competition, XCMG New Energy heavy-duty trucks are already at the forefront of the market.Editor/Baohongying
