Heavy truck company can share engine technology

According to the agreement reached between the two: After the localization of the engine of the MAN III to Europe V, the Hong Kong-owned Jinan Truck Company can also use the technology for a long time, so that the future competitiveness of the CNHTC's independent products will be guaranteed.

Sinotruk will achieve 100% nationalization of new engines such as the D20 and D26 within two years. He believes that this is an unprecedented breakthrough in Sino-foreign cooperation in China's heavy truck industry.

China National Heavy Duty Truck has clearly configured HOW-A7 D20, D26 engine produced by the truck company, HOWO-A7 is China's heavy truck launched at the end of last year, a new heavy truck, the most important model for this year's China National Heavy Duty Truck, had previously equipped with the D10 and D12 engine.

The contribution of technology shows its sincerity in this cooperation."

China's right to speak up

Sinotruk is the latest example of this year's external cooperation in the field of heavy truck. Prior to this, Jianghuai plans to set up a joint venture heavy truck company in China with Caterpillar subsidiary NC2GLobal LLC (hereinafter referred to as NC2) of the US heavy machinery manufacturer, with an investment of not less than 2 billion yuan. The RMB, the first heavy truck F700 of GAC Hino, has been put on the market. Beiqi Foton and German Daimler formally signed a truck joint venture agreement.

Different from the dominant position of foreign companies with passenger car joint ventures, China’s interests in heavy truck joint ventures have been guaranteed unprecedentedly. In this wave of heavy truck joint ventures, not only the original brand has been retained, but the foreign party is even willing to put its own advanced engine on the original brand of the Chinese car.

This situation is inseparable from the absolute advantage of independent brands in the heavy truck field. Heavy truck brands such as Dongfeng, FAW Jiefang, CNHTC, Beiqi Foton, Shaanxi Zhongqi, etc. have gradually narrowed their gaps in research and development capabilities and manufacturing processes with those of Europe and the United States. The price is only one-third of the foreign heavy trucks, occupying 95% of the entire domestic heavy truck market, while joint ventures and imported heavy trucks can only be allocated to a little market.

In the case of a severely damaged commercial vehicle market in Europe, the foreign heavy truck giants have placed their hopes on the huge Chinese market and thus can also “tolerate” the Chinese demands. For Chinese companies, the technology has also encountered a bottleneck. Required, through joint ventures to achieve local production, thereby reducing costs.
