In recent days, Shaanxi Auto and Foton have established special vehicle production bases in Xi'an, Shaanxi and Zaoyang, Hubei. Liberation and China National Heavy Duty Truck also launched a preferential policy for special-purpose vehicle projects, so that the special-purpose vehicle project continues to heat up. In addition to these two companies, the reporter found in the relevant publicity column on the website of the National Development and Reform Commission that from March to May 2007, the NDRC announced that there were nearly 20 new projects that had obtained the qualification for special vehicle production.

Special vehicles should be able to support sales of heavy truck companies

The special vehicle project constructed by Shaanxi Zhongqi is jointly invested with CIMC Vehicles (Group) Co., Ltd. and CIMC Vehicle Investment Holdings Co., Ltd. It has an annual production capacity of 5,000 special vehicles, including 3000 dump trucks, 1,000 semitrailers, 500 tank trucks and 500 cement mixers.

Zhao Chengjun, head of the marketing department of Shaanxi Automobile Sales Company, told reporters that “the capacity of the special-purpose vehicle market is very large. Now that every company wants to take the lead in competition, it must focus on the special-purpose vehicle market. In recent years, Shaanxi Automobile has become more and more Pay attention to the special car market, but in the past, we involved less."

Zhao Chengjun believes that in the entire section structure of Shaanxi Auto, special vehicles need to be strengthened. He said: "Shaanxi has to achieve a sales target of 50,000 units this year, and special vehicles should play a major role in driving. For example, cement mixers, we have just entered this market and sold 1,500 vehicles last year. The overall market capacity of the vehicles is a very good performance. In the future, we need to get involved in special vehicle markets such as tank trucks and fire engines.”

The first phase of the 50,000 Auman Special Purpose Vehicle Project in Futian, Hubei Province, was also completed at the end of March. As an important part of the development strategy of Beiqi Foton, the project will have a total investment of 200 million yuan. By the time it is put into production in 2010, its sales revenue will reach 6-100 billion yuan. At present, sales of five-species special vehicles such as vans and tank cars produced in Futian, Hubei Province, have all shown upward momentum.

In addition to vigorously developing its own special-purpose vehicle company, China National Heavy Duty Truck Corporation also provided technical assistance to some of the cooperative enterprises to help these enterprises improve the technical content of special-purpose vehicles. In the interview, Yun Qingtian, Deputy General Manager of Sinotruk Sales Co., said in an interview: “This year, we will expand the warranty period for special vehicles and implement a standard under the company’s big system. Let vendors and accessory suppliers expand with users. Contact and deepen the service.”

According to experts, currently there are special vehicle production bases in some parts of the country, such as Shandong Liangshan and Hubei Suizhou. The special vehicle produced by Liangshan has reached 1/3 of the national production.

"There are few real special vehicle manufacturers."

It is understood that in addition to the cooperation with CIMC, Shaanxi Automobile also recently held a Tianjin trailer factory. The sales of this plant in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region has been at the forefront.

Zhao Chengjun believes: “At present, everyone has a very different division of the special-purpose vehicle market. For example, I think the trailer is not a special-purpose vehicle in the strict sense, but only an extension of traditional trucks. The cooperation with the trailer factory is to better serve users. If the vehicles other than trucks are called special vehicles, the special vehicles in the mature market should account for more than 90% of the truck market. In this sense, the number of special-purpose vehicles in the country is still relatively small."

According to statistics, the products of domestic truck companies are still concentrated on trucks, and the real-purpose vehicles only account for about 30% of the total trucks, and there is still a considerable distance from the figure of 90%.

An industry source told reporters that the current domestic private car companies are mostly weak and small companies, the total production of special vehicles is not large. This is because relevant industry standards are still not perfect, and the relevant state departments are difficult to supervise. However, the quality of the products of these small enterprises is relatively poor, and the main reason is to use low prices as a means of competition. The vicious competition in the market has also affected the level of development of the entire industry.

He said: “At present, most of the special-purpose vehicle manufacturers use outsourcing chassis, and they mainly do the top-loading method to produce, and the technical capabilities are generally not high. More importantly, many of the products manufactured by the refitting car companies are even announced by the National Development and Reform Commission. It is impossible for us to talk about the development of the enterprise. Therefore, domestic heavy-duty automobile plants generally help the products of special-purpose vehicle companies to board the national announcement under the name of the heavy-duty vehicle manufacturer."

This person in the industry believes that there are so many special-purpose vehicle companies that have obtained relevant production qualifications this year, which is good news for the development of the entire industry. At the same time, it is also a policy-oriented orientation that will promote the development of the domestic special-purpose vehicle market and accelerate the resolution of related issues.
