On July 26, 2016, the new GB1589-2016 was officially released and implemented. The term “long tractor semi-trailer†was added to the regulatory jargon. It also satisfies that “more than half of the engine body is located before the frontmost point of the front windshieldâ€, The condition that the center of the steering wheel is located behind the front quarter of the total length of the vehicle's cab (the entire front end) and the front axle centerline is located before the foremost point of the front windshield are considered to be legal long-term. car. The compliant long car can enjoy the policy benefit of “long articulated train length limit of 18100mmâ€. The maximum length of ordinary flat-head trucks cannot exceed 17.1 meters.
Many people saw that the first reaction of this rule was that the long-term car came in spring. I don't think so. To ensure the loading space, the space left by the enterprise manufacturers is only 1 meter in length, which is still cramped after the one-meter length is given to the engine room. Shorten the engine room to increase the cockpit space and consider whether the models meet the three definitions of the GB1589 long headlights. The product design is completely worn and danced. Would you like to make an American-made long head truck? Think about it.
Long trucks are still few products, Liuzhou thriving?
The new GB1589 was released and implemented for half a year. The long trucks in the domestic market are still upgraded to those of low-end products. In the past few years, the models were even less competitive. The new long head model manufacturers are still in research and development?
In 2016, the domestic high-end long-distance car market, Liuchuan Longlong T7, was doomed to be one of the best, and other heavy-duty truck companies did not compete with the corresponding long-level models. The T7 has a harmonious design and continues to use the latest flagship flat-head truck H7 design language. By relying on the value of color, it has already attracted some buyers. "Long nose" is full and full, ChinaNet did not copy the H7 shape, and it borrowed its design elements to reshape and match the long head car. The same is true for the headlamps. It is these considerations that make the T7 The same beauty. The only drawback is that you can't drink the H7 Universal Headlight Accessories.
Long by the T7 power chain and Long H7 General, Weichai, Dongkang ISZ13 large horsepower displacement models are optional. This year's Beijing Auto Show Liuzhou booth that white H7 long tractor is equipped with Dongfeng Cummins ISZ520 horsepower engine, matching Fast 12-speed AMT gearbox, should be the first domestic long truck with automatic transmission models. Maintenance-free axles, air suspensions, etc. are not inferior to any other flat trucks of the same class. Buying long cars no longer needs to worry about the problem of outdated vehicles.
The long model has the disadvantage of poor visibility. The Long H7 performs better in this respect. The more slanting and shorter engine compartment design, the difference between the blind area and the flat car is not far from the cab, and the front-view mirror can still be seen. Is there an obstacle in front of the vehicle? Adapting from a flat car to a T7 long car should be quicker, as long as there is no big problem when it comes to timing.
However, the Dragon T7 is not a perfect long head truck product. Using the 100-point system, the Dragon T7 is only just passing the 60-point pass line, reaching the available level. There is no great advantage for the Peace Head Vehicle. The difference is difficult to attract. Flat car users switch to the long car, everyone will be very impulsive before buying a car, really pay for orders will tend to conservative choices.
The Long T7 problem is that there is no real solution to the user's pain points in space. The long-distance car's comfort, safety, and fuel-saving are not the main reasons why users want to buy long cars. The province is not as effective as seeing wind resistance. It only came back to use, but space demand was a big pain point for long-distance drivers. Flat car four or five square meters of small space has been squeezed out of value, how many people think of the long head of the car is the American long head truck that a huge rest space? It is this large space that attracts them to buy long trucks.
The T7 cab interior space is almost exactly the same as the flat headed Dragon H7. The cab is directly fitted with the H7 mold. The interior design layout does not have any room for headlights. The interior design is like a semi-finished product. When the length of the cab can not be changed, it is also possible to work hard at the height to “stealing spaceâ€. The T7 hasn't been leveled at all. It's a simple matter for a long head car to flatten the floor. Constrained by the vehicle length limit, the optimization of domestic long-haul cars will not be able to achieve the kind of large space for American long-haul trucks. However, there is hope for more space than flat-headed models, and it is very much looking forward to the day.
Along the way, the popularity of long trucks is still a problem?
Laws and regulations have been liberalized. There are Liuzhou Automobile's enterprise production models. Why is no one buying a long car? The market demand is certainly there, and people who want to buy long cars must be clear about the advantages and disadvantages of long cars. The remaining problem is where to buy the money? Most dealers and 4S stores don’t have cars or show cars. It’s not a joke to spend money on them. How long does it take to place an order production cycle, and whether the parts bought after repurchasing are easy to buy ... A series of problems are still waiting to be solved. Long-headed vehicles are not new things but have to face the challenges of new product promotion.
After September 21, strict regulations were applied throughout the country, and the lightweight models were hot. The shortcomings of the long heading car appeared to be a bit out of date. It was not impossible to make a lightweight long head car. The size of a long head truck in the United States could be achieved. The similar weight of the Peacehead model, the use of aluminum alloy material to reduce its weight, the cost is the increase in vehicle production costs, the long-end car price is too high and will block a group of potential buyers of users, want to promote the long car is very bumpy road.
Differentiated competition to build the land transport aircraft carrier?
In the future, the proportion of drop-and-hook traffic will gradually increase. According to the suspension and transportation of some enterprises, the driver lives in the vehicle more time than before the suspension of transport, which brings the problem of insufficient space, and will be waiting in the car. The longer the time and the longer the line, the greater the space requirement. The advantages of long-distance cars are exactly in line with their pain points. It is the best way to differentiate long-term models into "land carriers" to segment market differentiation competition. In the end, the use of long-haul trucks on long-distance and long-distance trunk lines and high-efficiency logistics transportation using traditional flat-head trucks to form medium-to-long-distance trunk lines and branch line logistics, and the use of long head trucks on trunk roads are not subject to restrictions on road conditions.
The development of flat-head trucks in China for more than 30 years has its advantages. Long trucks are also popular in North America and other regions. There are also many potential customers in domestic long-haul trucks. The choice of future long-haul trucks may become more abundant and may trigger A small wave headline boom. In the past two years, some people commented on the long car saying that “it is a pity that food is tastelessâ€, and anyone who can think of a change in the long car two years later is taken care of by the policy. I sincerely hope that the long-haul trucks will have a place in the truck market and that they are not mainstream.
