Lightweight contention: from 3.0 to 7.2
In August 2007, two major events occurred in the diesel engine industry in China. One is Dongfeng Chaochai’s introduction of U.S. U.S. NGD 3.0 diesel engines, and the other is a joint venture between Dalian Diesel and German Deutz to produce German Deutz 4.0 to 7.2 litre diesel engines. Whether it is the NGD 3.0 diesel engine off the assembly line or the opening ceremony of Deutz FAW Dachai, the scenes are very ambitious. Not only do the leaders of the two parties cooperate, but many domestic automakers also personally arrive. What kind of industry changes and market changes are hidden behind similar incidents?
At the product level, the NGD 3.0 diesel engine is the supporting power for urban utility vehicles SUV, MPV, high-grade pickup trucks and high-end light trucks; the three major companies of DEUTZ company 1013, 2012 and 2013 that were produced by FAW Dachai and German DEUTZ companies. Series 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder diesel engines meet the requirements of series power.
From a market and strategic perspective, Dachai and Chaochai’s actions are remarkable. Dongfeng Chaochao’s introduction of U.S. million NGD 3.0 diesel engines further stabilized its advantage in light diesel engines. As China's urban SUVs and MPVs have gradually ushered in spring in recent years, this emerging power supporting market is full of temptations, and NGD 3.0 is taking the lead to provide a new power option for urban SUVs and MPVs. The joint venture production of Deutz Dachai also has similar results. The advantage of Dichai itself lies in the medium-duty commercial vehicle diesel engine. In the three platform engines jointly produced with Deutz, it is mainly the power of light commercial vehicles. Although the power covers 4.0 to 7.2 liters, it is still mainly below 6.6 liters, and these are exactly What Dadai lacked.
Dachai and Chaochai selected joint ventures and introductions, leaving many opportunities for other independent branded companies. Wei Anli, Secretary-General of China National Internal Combustion Engine Association, said: "In the field of light vehicles, although the power of our own-brand diesel engines is not strong, we are doing it ourselves. In the near future, its power market will be our own." It is reported that the cloud The D106 and D109 diesel engines for passenger cars and urban SUVs have been developed (the two diesel engines are equivalent to 2.5 liters and 2.8 liters for gasoline engines) and have been provided for companies. In the future, they will further extend the diesel engines to lighter ones. Among the six types of diesel engines with a capacity of 2.088 to 4.087 liters, Yangzhou Diesel has five types of displacements of more than 3.0 litres. These products are the main products of Yangchai, and they are certainly fierce competitors with diesel engines of 3.0 to 7.2 liters. Yuchai, who has won the championship in diesel engine production and sales for several consecutive years, is no exception. In the Yuchai series of diesel engines, the 3.0 area has concentrated 2.493 liters, 2.66 liters, 2.672 liters, and 2.977 liters of four-displacement diesel engines, accounting for almost the diesel engine of Yuchai. One-half of all displacements. There are three types of diesel engines with 5.3 liters of diesel power. Shanghai Hino disclosed that its newly introduced 5-litre diesel engine production line will be completed and put into production by the end of the year, while other domestic diesel engine companies such as JMC will also concentrate firepower to 3.0-7.2 liters.
Emerging urban SUVs and MPVs, as well as the huge demand for light diesel engines for passenger cars, coupled with industry policies led to the development of trucks to light, heavy duty, the development of diesel engine power tilt, induced a huge market for light diesel engines, so that 3.0 to 7.2 liters of diesel engines become a Fierce competition for the region.
Deutz FAW Diesel C, E, D three platforms
Covers Deutz 1013, 2012 and 2013 three series, 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder diesel engines, 39 models (30 models for automotive diesel engines, 9 models for engineering diesel engines, various variants and adaptive products More than 300 species). Emissions meet Euro III standards and have Euro IV potential.
The power covers 85 to 340 horsepower and the starting torque is 600 Newton meters, which is more than 10% higher than that of the same displacement product. Its weight is 150-200 kg lighter than similar engines, the minimum fuel consumption of all features is ≤ 195 g/kWh, and engine noise is less than or equal to 96 dB.
Siege 12 Litres: Three British War Riboud
Another influence of the industry policy is that the heavy-duty diesel engine has become more and more powerful, and the competition for diesel engines has made the 12-liter region become another focus after 10 litres. Domestic diesel engine companies and even whole vehicle companies have all placed heavy injections in this new region. .
In recent years, the domestic heavy truck diesel engine market has been one of the best. The acquisition of these honors made Wenchao Lanqing 9.726 litres and 11.6 litre diesel engines outstanding. Last year, the diesel engine WD12 of Weichai 11.6 upgraded product was launched, and the production and sales exceeded 10,000 units in less than one year. However, the authority of Weichai currently faces a new test, and many opponents are peeping into the 12-liter power market.
While Dashicha selected joint venture production, its two plant sites completely reserved one for independent research and development and production; and Xichai not to mention, after six years of forbearance and humiliation, independently developed more than 12 liters of AOC 13-liter power CA6DN1 heavy-duty diesel engine. . On July 15, 2007, the main distribution engine of the Jiefang J6 heavy truck that FAW officially implemented volume production was the CA6DN1, which is the largest heavy-duty diesel engine in China with the largest displacement and power.
The international engine giant Cummins is also unwilling to be lonely in China. In the workshops of Dongfeng Cummins and Xi'an Cummins, a high-power engine capable of affecting the structure of heavy trucks in China will also be born. In the third quarter of 2006, Xi'an Cummins, a joint venture with Shaanxi Automobile, began production of Cummins 11-litre fully electronically controlled diesel engines with a power range of 305 to 440 hp. It was put on the market in 2007 and became another weapon for Shaanxi Automobile to strengthen its own product advantages. Dongfeng Cummins has been developing a new generation of world-class 13-liter heavy truck engines since October 2005, with a power of 400-545 horsepower. In terms of time, its 13-liter heavy truck engine will be available in the near future. The China National Heavy Duty Corps, which is unwilling to control people on strategic supporting resources, is also carrying out research and development of heavy-duty engines. China National Heavy Duty Truck Propaganda Department Minister Ni Guixiang told reporters that the heavy-duty trucks of Hang Fat and Jinan are both upgrading their heavy-duty truck engines. If they say that the 7 to 10 litre engines produced by Hangfa and Jinan are heavy-duty trucks Insufficient, then on October 18 this year, the production line of the new plant in Hang Fat will undoubtedly add a new power source. In addition, although Ni Guixiang has not confirmed, China National Heavy Duty Truck has already started the research and production of more powerful diesel engines, which is an open "secret" in the industry.
In this way, in the 12-liter region, FAW "downwardly" suppressed, heavy truck "up" to break through, and Cummins is a two-way attack, the old overlord Weichai suffered a lively scene of the three British war Riboud.
The new war situation is even more complicated. Who will become the new leader? Will there be any overlord? It is hard to predict.
