Energy-saving and emission reduction is no longer just a problem for auto manufacturing companies, but is a public topic that users and the public are concerned about. As one of the major categories of automotive products, commercial vehicles have always lacked clear and effective energy access management.

In response, Yu Weijiang, director of the Vehicle Management Division of the Department of Road and Transportation of the Ministry of Transport, stated that in order to better promote energy conservation and emission reduction in the transportation industry, the Ministry of Transport issued a decree (namely Decree 11) to announce the "Road Transport Vehicles". Measures for the Inspection and Supervision of Fuel Consumption (implemented on November 1 this year). The introduction of this method will also incorporate the fuel consumption of the operating vehicle into the scope of supervision and management. From the 1st of March next year, fuel consumption will be taken as a necessary indicator when the "Road Transport Permit" is issued, and checked against the "Table of Fuel Consumption Standard Models". This will change the previous situation of heavy-duty passenger vehicles and light commercial vehicles for energy conservation and emission reduction.

The measurement method for the current China International Truck Fuel Contest is based on the "Limit and Measurement Method for Fuel Consumption of Trucks" issued by the Ministry of Transport. The organizer claims that the contest will be the 11th order of the Ministry of Communications. Preview."

Business sought fierce competition

Most mainstream companies in the heavy truck industry are actively registering for participation. The seven participating companies not only have companies with leading positions in the industry, but also have “black horses” that have made repeated achievements in the field of heavy trucks in recent years. This enthusiastic entry enthusiasm makes people feel the unique charm of the contest. The participating products range from tractors, trucks to dump trucks, and drive models ranging from 4×2 to 8×4 cover virtually all categories of heavy trucks.

In fact, it is no accident that the China International Fuel Truck Contest has won the pursuit of manufacturers. Many companies have participated in the competition for the second time. When asked what kind of factors attracted the participants, a representative of the company replied quite representatively: “At present, there are few races that specifically target trucks. There are no other events that focus on truck fuel consumption. These two platforms are very unique. At the same time, we also attach great importance to working with our peers on such a platform to seek further improvement in our product quality."

“Commercial vehicle users have always been very concerned about fuel consumption, and have paid more attention since the tax and fee reforms, which also forced us to choose a good way to promote our fuel-efficient products and fuel-efficient technologies. The widespread concern of users will naturally affect the user's buying intentions more easily.

"We have always been concerned about energy conservation and emission reduction. At this point, the concept of the competition is consistent with our company's philosophy." The relevant person in charge of Michelin (China) stated: "We emphasize 'further further benefits for safety' and focus on reducing the number of trucks and buses. The user's fuel consumption.We have excellent products that can further reduce the fuel consumption of the vehicle.We are confident that the concept of Michelin will be perfectly displayed through this competition."

Fair and open users convinced

“Equity is also one of the main reasons why we consider the fuel-efficient truck competition. Since the first session of the Truck Fuel Contest, we upheld the principle of fairness, openness, and fairness. Based on the data, there was no black-box operation.” Told reporters.

“The fundamentals of our contest are fundamental and authoritative.” The organizer of the China International Truck Fuel Contest said: “In order to test the accuracy of the results, we cooperated with the Highway Traffic Testing Ground of the Ministry of Communications, and the test site as the co-organizer took full responsibility for the data. Measurement and collection work. At the same time, we also invited judges for the composition of professors of Tsinghua University, Beijing Institute of Technology, Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and Beijing Agricultural University. These two measures ensure the fairness of the event.”

It is also because of fairness and openness that the China International Truck Fuel Contest has attracted the attention of many users. User representative Zhang Hongbin told reporters: “Now, there are many truck brands on the market, and almost every manufacturer says that their trucks are fuel-efficient. However, it is difficult for a user to tell whether a truck is fuel-efficient and how much oil it can save. The car is more about listening to salespeople and listening to peers, but it has limitations in the end. We don't have the opportunity to test every truck of every brand. The China International Fuel Saving Contest can help us to complete this. With the wish, they can bring together similar models, eliminating the need for us to go east and west. We are also more credible than the results."

Create an Oscar event for trucks

"The Commercial Vehicle News" sponsored truck fuel-saving competition is China's first fuel-efficient truck competition, the first truck competition focused on user needs, and China's most credible truck award. There is a general shortage of international energy. Under the general situation, fuel economy has become a worldwide topic.In China, fuel economy has been encouraged by national policies and is also the focus of the automotive industry. Companies rated as fuel-efficient can increase brand awareness and reputation. Can reflect the spirit of the participating companies for the society and the future." There are media to evaluate the fuel-efficient competition.

“To be a good helper for commercial vehicle companies and users to make money is the purpose of the publication of “Commercial Automotive News.” The fuel-efficient competition is the second time this year, and our goal is to turn it into an Oscar for the truck industry for companies. Build a good communication platform with users to fulfill the obligation of saving energy for the entire society.
