Construction machinery rushes forward in the LNG field

After experiencing the "decline in ten times" in 2013, environmental protection has received unprecedented attention. The public has begun to think deeply about the concept of energy conservation and environmental protection, and related environmental protection policies have been gradually introduced. In fact, as early as 2012, the State Council issued the “12th Five-Year Plan for Energy-saving and Environmental Protection Industry Development” notice. Major steel users, such as construction machinery, began to play an environmental protection brand. For the LNG construction machinery and equipment exhibited at baumaChina2012, Earn people's attention - the mountain reconstruction machine GC378NE natural gas excavator, Liugong CLG862-LNG loader, Lovol LNG loader, CIMC Lingyu LNG concrete mixer truck, etc., a green energy wind blowing and Come. In 2013, BICES2013 also became the stage for LNG products to compete on the same stage. Foton Resa launched the LNG combination of pump trucks and mixer trucks, Anhui Heli's first domestic LNG forklift, Xugong’s first 8-ton LNG loader, and Sany LNG. Concrete transport mixers, Chenggong ZL50E-3 superLNG loaders and so on, construction machinery products with energy saving and environmental protection as the core technology have begun to surge in the LNG field. Nowadays, energy-saving and environment-friendly LNG products are gradually approaching users. What should enterprises and users pay attention to after becoming a trend?

One Ming Road: LNG Construction Machinery

As we all know, since the beginning of 2014, China's construction machinery industry has begun to gradually warm up. What role does the LNG product play? Whether it is the "GuanYuanChunYan?" that was ridiculed by everybody, or the "Yuanyuan" version of the hazy version, it indicates that in the transformation and upgrading of China's construction machinery, energy conservation and environmental protection have become the main points of competition. In fact, in the field of construction machinery, the development of LNG products began almost a decade ago. In 2005, CNHTC developed the first domestic natural gas heavy truck; in 2012, domestic LNG heavy truck sales exceeded 12,000; in 2010, XCMG launched the first domestic LW500K-LNG natural gas loader, followed by ports and mines. The field of coal and electricity was rapidly promoted and applied. In 2013, the first LNG-based excavator was put on the line at Shanghai Sany Heavy Machinery Lingang Industrial Park; in 2013, Xiagong produced a new energy natural gas excavator XG822LNG in Weifang, Shandong Province. Officially delivered to customers. All indications are that from the earliest heavy trucks, to later loaders, today's excavators, and even concrete mixer trucks, pump trucks, and many other engineering machinery subdivision fields, the current development situation is that each construction machinery company is The implementation of LNG clean energy equipment, and strive to return to society a day "clean" the sky, and LNG products are surging with unstoppable momentum.

Significant features of LNG products

LNG (LiquefiedNaturalGas), namely liquefied natural gas, is cooled from -162°C by gas cooled natural gas under normal pressure, and has large calorific value and high performance. LNG can greatly save storage and transportation space, and has features such as large calorific value, high performance, and extremely low sulfur content. Due to the very significant overall benefits, the promotion of LNG energy has become a general trend in the transportation industry. First, vehicles using LNG can reduce harmful gas emissions by more than 90% compared with fuel vehicles. Second, LNG's price is lower than that of gasoline and diesel, which can greatly reduce the cost of use. Third, LNG is high in purity and fully burned. Carbon deposition can effectively reduce the wear of parts and prolong the service life of the engine. In recent years, LNG has been listed as the preferred fuel by many countries, and it has grown at a rapid rate of about 12% per year, making it one of the fastest growing energy industries in the world.

With the government's increasing attention to environmental protection in recent years, the environmental protection industry has ushered in a golden period of rapid development. In 2013, the State Council’s "Opinions on Accelerating the Development of Energy-saving and Environmental Protection Industries" proposed that the average annual growth rate of China's energy-saving and environmental protection industries is above 15%, and by 2015, the total output value will reach 4.5 trillion yuan, becoming a new pillar of the national economy. industry. The development of environmental protection industries has risen to our country’s national strategy. The construction machinery that is at the crossroads of the development of the industry, how to choose to continue to be brilliant and comply with national policies, keep up with the pace of environmental protection, the development of LNG construction machinery, after all, is a clear road.

Hidden behind

China's development and utilization of LNG goes back to ancient times, at least until half a century ago. In recent years, China's LNG industry has turned from the original one-star fire to its original situation. Public data shows that from 2010 to 2013, four LNG receiving stations were put into use in mainland China, and the layout of the coastal LNG receiving stations was almost completed. From the perspective of the growth in the number of LNG filling stations, the speed of development of China's LNG industry is more intuitive. In 2002, there were only two gas filling stations in the country. In 2011, there were fewer than 200 refueling stations in the country, which increased to more than 600 in 2012 and increased to nearly 2,000 in 2013. In 2014, a new round of “hot” in China's LNG industry continued to be staged. At the beginning of the year, the LNG project construction plans in many places such as Guangzhou and Chongqing have been reported frequently. The LNG industry in China is ushering in a golden era of development. Today, it seems that the problem of less refueling sites that once plagued the promotion of LNG construction machinery products is gradually being solved, but if the equipment is expensive, high cost factors have limited the large-scale promotion of LNG construction machinery. Recently, the news that the price of natural gas has risen and the price of petrol and diesel oil has been lowered has undoubtedly brought new challenges to the promotion of LNG construction machinery, which has caused people to rethink the development prospects of LNG construction machinery.

At the same time, on the other side of the booming “coin” of the LNG industry, the phenomenon of “slow development” behind “fast-forward” has become increasingly prominent. Take the filling station as an example. Although the explosive growth has been seen from a quantitative point of view in a few short years, it has been difficult to determine whether the simultaneous increase in value has been achieved. The unbalanced development of gas stations and the matching speed of vehicles are not directly proportional to the station building speed. Despite the repeated decentralization of internal and external approvals for construction of gas stations, the development of gas stations is still constrained. Outside the stations, the slow development of China's LNG industry also appears. China has made great progress in LNG gasifiers, liquefaction technology, related devices and equipment, and has developed its own liquefied natural gas process based on foreign patented technologies. However, in terms of technology, compared with foreign countries, domestic processes are There is still a lack of optimization, especially with relatively low efficiency and low equipment reliability. At present, the standards and specifications of LNG and related industrial chains in the country lag behind the development needs of the industry, and it is no longer able to guide the development of the industry. It is not conducive to improving the management and service awareness, and it is also not conducive to the supervision of the industry's competent authorities and lacks the bond between the enterprise and the government. There is no truly unified and perfect information and technology exchange platform in the LNG industry chain, which makes it difficult for enterprises and enterprises, enterprises and governments, enterprises and research institutes to communicate. The standardization and serialization work of the LNG equipment manufacturing industry can not keep up with the promotion and application needs. The LNG engineering construction project does not have the industry's own design and construction specifications.

Service is a "centering pill"

Therefore, for construction machinery companies, the successful development of LNG construction machinery products is only the first step of the Long March. How to market them to the market? How do you really feel that the LNG products are environmentally friendly, convenient and fast? With the constant running-in of the market, it requires the rapid follow-up of the market, and it needs more support from the government. In the view of the China Construction Machinery Business Network Xiaobian, though, LNG engineering machinery products are a well-known trend in the future market development, but there is no perfect universal access to supporting facilities and maintenance service outlets, to make the market completely acceptable. Still very difficult.

Although the use cost of LNG construction machinery products is low, the selling price is about 15% more expensive than that of fuel vehicles. Although the new energy engineering machinery complies with the national energy conservation and environmental protection policy, there is no financial subsidy, which has a great impact on the sales of LNG construction machinery products. At the same time, LNG engineering machinery products are still new things, and their professionalism is relatively strong. Manufacturers are required to send more service personnel to follow-up services, and related product accessories also need to be adequately prepared. Because of the essential difference between gas and fuel, the maintenance of LNG engine and LNG gas supply system has its own particularities. The purchasing user needs to regularly check the performance of the safety valve, and the inspection process must follow the professional operation requirements. This requires that construction machinery companies must systematically train these professional knowledge and skills in the sales of products. If manufacturers can develop a set of related enhanced service systems specifically for LNG construction machinery products, it is believed that users will be more assured and bold in using LNG products.

One year ago, industry experts still lamented whether LNG engineering machinery products are expected to be accessible? Nowadays, LNG products have begun to plow, and along with the country’s increasing attention to the environment and new energy, LNG construction machinery will gain a broader sky, and engineering machinery companies are immersed in the market game. Remembering the original intentions, the troops and horses did not move, and the food and grass first. With the spread of LNG products, the service is the most important thing.
