When will the government implement the mystery?


Although the Copenhagen conference has been closed, the "Copenhagen" environmental protection has been set off around the world. Creating a low-carbon economy has become the direction of socio-economic development in all countries in the world. On the eve of the Copenhagen conference, on November 26th, the Chinese government publicly promised to quantify emission reduction targets for the world for the first time, and decided to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions per unit of GDP by 40% to 45% from that in 2005. According to the forecast of experts, as China's auto industry is far more mature, the proportion of carbon emissions of automobiles in the total emissions will be higher and higher, and may eventually account for 25% to 28% of the total. Therefore, how the automotive industry reduced emissions over time became the focus of discussion in the industry.

In this context, the heavy-duty vehicle IV emission standards to be implemented on January 1, 2010 undoubtedly received more attention.

Implementing Countries IV Encourage Delayed Implementation

According to the national implementation plan for the emission standards of auto pollutants, China will implement the IV emission standards for heavy-duty vehicles from January 1, 2010. Relevant data show that low-emission vehicles can cause serious environmental pollution. Taking Shanghai as an example, there are currently 200,000 vehicles in Shanghai that do not meet the National I emission standards for highly polluting vehicles, and their holdings account for only 14 of all motor vehicles. %, emissions accounted for 50%. In addition, China's automobile emission level lags far behind that of Europe, the United States, and Japan. As early as 2005, the European Union has already implemented the implementation of the National IV emission standards. Therefore, in order to achieve the national emission reduction targets, the implementation of national IV emission standards for automobiles is of utmost importance.

However, as the time for the implementation of the standard gradually approached, the industry’s call for postponement of implementation has grown. Experts believe that implementing State IV in 2010 will face many problems in oil products, technology, and markets, and the China Automotive Industry Association clearly points out that the implementation of National IV emission standards in the country in 2010 is totally unsatisfactory, and the Association recommends that The implementation date of the National IV emission standard for heavy-duty diesel vehicles was postponed by 30 months.

While the industry insiders quarreled over whether or not the country IV should postpone implementation, the NDRC, which is at the forefront of the affair, has remained silent. The reporter has not yet received exact news from relevant parties. What kind of attitude does the company face when it comes to arguing in the industry? Are they ready for implementation of the National IV emission standards?

Achieving State IV Corporation's Technology Reserve

The reporter learned that in order to respond to the implementation of State IV, the major truck companies have either launched the relevant National IV models or have successfully developed the National IV engines.

China Sinotruck walks on two legs

As early as the first half of 2009 China's heavy truck on the launch of 10 liters State IV engine IV engine and SCR 10-liter high-pressure common rail common rail EGR DPF country, according to China National Heavy Duty Truck Cai Dong, general manager of introduction, is the China National Heavy Duty Truck The only auto plant that has mastered both EGR IV and Common Rail IV mature solutions.

In addition to developing its own IV engine, China National Heavy Duty Trucks has also obtained exclusive and non-transferable rights for D08, D20 and D26 engines and related parts and components that meet Euro III, Euro IV and Euro V emission standards in China through strategic cooperation with German Man. Using licensing technology and expertise, this cooperation not only effectively compensated for the shortcomings of heavy-duty trucks on high-pressure common-rail engines, but also enabled it to take advantage of the industry before entering “National IV”.

According to Cai Dong, at present, the announcement of the Group IV vehicle product of the group company is relatively complete, and the “Suideka T7” equipped with the original German company D20 engine is also officially unveiled at the China National Heavy Duty Truck Business Annual Meeting on December 19. All these allow us to see Sinotruk's reserve power in the State IV technology.

Shaanxi Auto equipped Xi'an Cummins IV engine

On June 19th, 2009, Shaanxi Automobile Cummins State IV series heavy trucks were first listed. This is Shaanxi Automobile's response to the national energy-saving emission reduction call, but also to launch new products in response to the implementation of the forthcoming national IV emission standards.

It is understood that Shaanxi Automobile Cummins IV series heavy trucks use Xi'an Cummins ISM series 11-liter IV engines. The engine was jointly developed by Cummins China, Xi'an Cummins and Shaanxi Automobile Group after nearly two years of cooperation. It is the first European EV engine that has obtained the national environmental emission certification, EU and Russia certification at the same time. It took the lead to get the “pass” for exporting to overseas markets.

The listing of Shaanxi Steam Cummins IV series heavy trucks indicates that Shaanxi Auto has mastered the key technology of the National IV heavy truck and has become one of the domestic companies with mature IV heavy truck technology.

Futian Deepens Weichai Strategic Alliance

Unlike ordinary heavy-duty truck companies that responded to State IV, Futian did not develop its own engine but chose a strategic alliance with Weichai. On July 7, 2009, Foton Motors and Weichai Power announced a deepening of strategic cooperation, and Weichai's newly-launched upgraded Blue Engine China IV engine will be tested with Foton Motor.

It is reported that this engine is based on the Weichai Power Lanqing WP12 series 12-liter mature model as a development platform, the electronic control system has been upgraded, its control unit, supply unit, cost and more excellent, with low emissions, high economy Features such as sex, high dynamics and driving comfort. Through matching tests with Weichai, Fukuda also completed the technical reserves of the National IV models.

In addition, other heavy truck companies also have their own tricks in the face of China IV. Liberation J6 IV heavy trucks equipped with Xichai engine have been listed, and Dongfeng has also launched a dedicated chassis that meets China IV standards. It can be seen that it is not a problem for companies to implement State IV in technology.

Promotional State IV Enterprise Promotion Less Distributors Don't Pay Attention

Although actively preparing for technology, companies are not optimistic about the implementation of State IV. Compared to the war of words between governments and experts, the attitude of heavy-duty truck companies is unexpectedly cold and invariably promotes enterprises. Take an inaction attitude. Take CNHTC as an example. Although there are national IV vehicles and national IV announcements, there is no mass production, and more is just to make a reserve. Dongfeng Liuzhou Automobile General Manager Cheng Daoran told reporters that for the National IV car company has mastered the relevant technology, but when faced with the issue of when to launch the National IV model, he did not stand. SAIC Iveco Hongyan even made it clear that the company has not prepared to promote IV products in the market, because there is doubt about whether there is a demand for the market.

If the business attitude is cold, then the dealer's attitude is indifferent. "When the implementation of the country IV? When? Now many places are still selling the country II car, the country III cars are no one to buy, who will buy the country IV car." Dealer Shen Jinliang from Hebei told reporters. "I don't know if there are other dealers, but we don't have distribution here."

Dong Xuesong, a dealer from Nanjing, jokingly told reporters that he did not even see the appearance of the country’s IV car. “I have to implement the State IV. I haven’t even seen the IV driver of the country, let alone say anything. The user said, "It is impossible to implement State IV at this stage. "Now the sales volume of State III vehicles has just come up. If you implement State IV, what should you do with State III?"

Judging from the investigation, in the face of the quarrel between the government and the industry, almost all heavy-duty truck companies have made preparations. On the one hand, they actively reserve technology, and if they implement the State IV on schedule, they will be able to bring new products to market; On the one hand, as long as the policy is uncertain, it does not work, and it takes a negative attitude in both propaganda and channel. However, this seemingly neutral attitude actually shows concern for the immediate implementation of State IV.

In the current circumstances, whether the National IV policy will be implemented as scheduled, and what kind of measures the NDRC will give, we will continue to pay attention to it.
