Three drivers, see how Dongfeng Cummins leads the industry's new development

Wang Kaijun, Executive Deputy General Manager of Dongfeng Cummins Engine Co., Ltd.

Not just bigger horsepower

"Dongfeng Cummins ISZ engine has a very good reputation in the fields of long-distance logistics, express delivery and other fields, and the market share has increased steadily." Dong Kai Cummins executive deputy general manager Wang Kaijun told reporters that these areas are the main battlefield of high-powered tractors, "2018 In the year, Dongfeng's market share of tractors above 480 and 500 horsepower increased significantly, and the Dongfeng Cummins ISZ engine played a very good supporting role."

The improvement of transportation efficiency has provided space for the development of high-powered engines, especially in the fifth phase of the country. “Dongfeng Cummins ISZ currently has a displacement of 13 liters, and its power reserve and torque are very strong, which also brings significant power and fuel consumption advantages.”

When the power reached 500 horsepower or even 550 horsepower, there was a question of "whether it is necessary to continue to develop high horsepower." Wang Kaijun frankly this is indeed a controversial topic, but it is recommended to broaden the line of thought when analyzing it.

" Cummins has been promoting the 15-liter engine in the heavy-duty truck market in North America. It is very effective and has a high market share. But in Europe, most trucks use a 13-liter engine, which has a lot to do with usage habits and the environment." He further It is pointed out that the advantage of the high-powered engine is not only strong, "Our experience in North America is that by reducing the speed, the output of the 15-liter engine is actually not high, and the engine fuel consumption can be significantly optimized. At the same time, because of the low load, the engine Reliability is also better. Essentially, product reliability and fuel consumption are at the heart of all user concerns."

In fact, similar situations have been verified in the Chinese market. A user from Ningxia said that the local market is the world of Dongfeng. The first car he used was equipped with Dongfeng Cummins 375 horsepower engine, which maintained a good state in 7 years of use. Last year, the user started using the 480-horsepower ISZ engine, which is “up to the next level” for speed performance, stability and fuel consumption. “480 horsepower is the relatively low power section of the ISZ engine . Even in the starting stage, the advantage of ISZ is very obvious: low speed and high torque. This gives the user the feeling that the engine is more powerful, and the climbing and overtaking are very good. The fuel economy is wide, and the vehicle can be driven in the economic zone for a long time, so that fuel consumption can be controlled better.” Wang Kaijun said.

Not just experienced

This kind of power advantage will continue in the sixth phase of the country.

"2019 should be the hardest year for engineers. The usual one-and-a-half to two-year work will be completed within 9-10 months. The engine companies face great challenges." Faced with the most concerned topics in the industry. Wang Kaijun’s answer is: “Our country’s products are prepared to have different time nodes according to different platforms. The overall situation is based on the listing of products on July 1, and they are in place in terms of time and technical maturity. And it is 'one step in place', and is the first to meet the national six B stage and the European six D stage emission standards."

On October 16, 2018, China officially opened the emission certification window. At present, our National Six products have entered the certification stage. In addition, the six-stage Dongfeng Cummins engine will be extended to the two sides in terms of product line layout, including the Z14-liter engine that better adapts to the domestic market. The company's products will continue to maintain its leading position in displacement, power and torque.

As a joint venture between Dongfeng and Cummins, Dongfeng Cummins has an innate advantage in emission control. In Cummins, which has already implemented Euro 6 in North America and Europe, and has a world-leading level, it has accumulated a lot of experience, which has greatly helped Dongfeng Cummins.

It is worth noting that the “experience” mentioned here is not only the experience of finding problems and solving problems, but also the guarantee brought by standardized service processes. In the past, the mechanical era relied more on personal experience. When the master listened to it, he knew where the problem was. Now with so many fault codes, it is difficult to solve all the problems by the technician’s personal experience alone. The service process is more helpful.

Today, Dongfeng Cummins multi-country six engines are being tested everywhere, and the phase results are satisfactory. "In fact, the more important purpose of testing is to find out as many problems as possible, but the engineers consistently report that the overall performance of the product is very good." Wang Kaijun told reporters that the company hopes to accumulate as much test data as possible before July 1, 2019. Corresponding to the solution that is more in line with the needs of the domestic market, so that the confidence of the country's six products when listed is more sufficient. ”

Not just product strength

Ready the product, then, what about people?

At the launching ceremony of the Silk Road Rally China stage held in Xi'an in late September 2018, in addition to the Silk Road Rally Russia stage champion - KAMAZ master team equipped with Dongfeng Cummins ISZ engine, there are also a number of exciting ISZ The spokesperson came to watch the departure ceremony, and as a common user of ISZ, everyone had a face-to-face communication experience.

In this regard, Wang Kaijun said that Dongfeng Cummins hopes to let more users know about the ISZ engine by communicating with influential drivers or practitioners in the industry. “Our spokespersons are usually experienced industry elites. On the one hand, their word-of-mouth effect can make more drivers and car owners aware of ISZ products; at the same time, their good habits and skills can help more users. Use the Dongfeng Cummins engine," he said.

If the engine is the driver's working partner, then the service technician is the guard. From the point of view of asset utilization rate, the efficiency of truck use in North America and Europe is much higher than that in China. On the one hand, the European and American markets have higher requirements on engine durability and reliability, and on the other hand, the construction of service network layout and service capacity. .

On the service network, Dongfeng Cummins has been continuously optimized over the years to enhance the capabilities of service providers. “In addition to continuously strengthening the network layout and making the service response faster and more timely, we also made a service competition in Xiangfan a few days ago. This is something that is done every year. Through continuous service, the service is repaired by the service technician. Enthusiasm makes them more willing to learn new knowledge. After all, they are the ones who really touch the users. The service level of the manufacturers ultimately needs to be realized through them.” Wang Kaijun said.

To cope with the needs of the new era, not only manufacturers must be prepared, but the preparation of the entire chain is also indispensable. This is the way of Dongfeng Cummins' layout.
