On February 13, 2012, just before the meeting between President Barack Obama and Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping, the truck giant Neville Stars from the United States held the first media meeting in Beijing in 2012. "New power leap year". From the perspective of time and theme, Navistar, which has been in the Chinese market for several years, is already familiar with the needs of China's culture and markets.

However, it is interesting to note that Mr. Wan Ruyi, the president of Navistar China, did not mention the “love” situation with Jianghuai and the current “School Bus” topic with everyone. Sharing, just after deducting his name as a New Year's greeting in accordance with Chinese customs, he directly turned the subject to another focus of Navistar's business: the source of new power - the engine .

At the 2011 Shanghai Auto Show, Mr. Troy Clarke, President of Navistar Asia Pacific, once told Chinese media that Navistar is currently working on the development of a “ super truck ” project whose goal is to continue to maintain our fuel economy. The leading position in sex, and reduce the truck's fuel consumption to the current 50%.

At the press conference, Yan Jingde, vice president of product development at Navistar China, told China Truck Network. In 2009, Navistar was designated as one of the "super truck" cooperation companies by the Ministry of Energy. According to the agreement between the two parties, the Ministry of Energy, Navistar, and its supplier partners will invest US$37 million and US$52 million respectively in research funding, focusing on innovative aspects such as truck aerodynamics, engine combustion efficiency, waste heat recovery, and hybrid power. the study.

So far, under the efforts of researchers, Navistar has made progress in several areas of research and achieved the desired goals. In engine technology, aerodynamic optimization has made significant breakthroughs. This year, Navistar and the Department of Energy renewed their contracts and will continue to work hard to achieve the goal of reducing truck fuel consumption.

According to the China Truck Network reporter, in the United States, truck transport carries the main function of road logistics and transportation. According to statistics, Class8truck transports 70% of the U.S. material, but it also consumes about 80% of the U.S. diesel. Therefore, the control of fuel consumption for trucks is crucial for the United States to save logistics costs and petroleum resources. In 2009, the Department of Energy DOE announced that it will invest US$270 million in 2010-2015 to develop a new generation of trucks that are 50% lower than the current truck fuel consumption—the “Super Truck” program. In order to achieve this goal, the Ministry of Energy cooperates with some of the world's leading truck and engine manufacturers, and they jointly invest in innovative research on important areas of engine technology and vehicle technology. It is understood that although the goal of reducing fuel consumption is very challenging, at present the project is progressing smoothly.

The United States is the country with the most stringent control of automobile emissions in the world today. There are many different automotive emission regulations and standards, but they are mainly divided into California and the United States. The United States took the lead in the formulation of automobile emission standards and led the formulation of standards around the world. The current EPA 2010 emission standards are currently one of the most stringent emission regulations in the world. Taking a heavy-duty vehicle diesel engine as an example, EPA 2010 stipulates that the emission limits of nitrogen oxides and particulate matter will almost approach zero (the upper limit of nitrogen oxide emission is 0.2 g per hour and the particulate emission is 0.01 g per hour), which is far lower than in Europe. The current implementation of the Euro V standards. The constant renewal of EPA standards has also promoted the continued R&D of manufacturers' engine emission control and promoted the continuous advancement of technology.

The U.S. government chose Navistar as one of the cooperative companies. Ms. Lei Ning, China Science and Technology Director of Navistar, and the group’s technical institute, said that Navistar has not only nearly 80 years of development history in the engine field, but also The history of trucks has also surpassed 100 years, so extensive vehicle resources have been well verified and promoted. In addition, the long history of engine and vehicle development also enabled Navistar to take full advantage of its various technological reserves.

China Truck Network reporter also learned from the side that the integration between the vehicle and the engine is very critical. Because customers now place high demands on vehicle manufacturers, not only fuel economy, but also electronic control and driving requirements and costs. With its own engine, it is possible to do a lot of work in the integration of complete vehicles and engines. In particular, the integration of emissions and fuel economy is crucial to the vehicle, and the fuel economy can be improved by 3% to 5% through the integration of optimized matching. Sex, on the contrary, you will reduce the fuel economy by 3%-5%. Therefore, having a strategic resource of its own engine can be more optimized to provide the best service to customers.

Ms. Lei Ning, China Science and Technology Director of Navistar, and the group's technical institute emphasized that in this “super truck” project, the overall fuel consumption of trucks needs to be reduced by 50%, of which 30% comes from the improvement of vehicle technology and 20% from the engine. Improvement of technology. Ms. Lei Ning said that in fact, in the field of thermal efficiency of the engine, the average value of the industry is not ideal, only 40% of the thermal energy is converted to work, and the rest of the thermal energy is lost in different forms. The improvement of engine technology in this "super truck" project will make the thermal energy conversion rate of the engine more than 50%, which is a very valuable change in the industry. Navistar will attempt to achieve this through air and fuel, combustion, engine structure and control, and waste heat recovery.

Perhaps because the current Chinese government is "overwhelmed" with regard to national emissions, at this time, the concept of engine technology enhancement in the "Super Truck" launched by Navistar in the Chinese market seems to be "just in time." Although the “love” situation of JAC and Navistar is inconvenient to disclose, it is well known that the first step of cooperation between JAC and Navistar will be to start with the engine and enter the matching field of mainstream high-end products of JAC. According to another person in charge of Navistar’s progress in the development of the project, both Jianghuai and Navistar are confident in the cooperation and are “very hopeful”. Indeed, in the near future, we will witness this highly successful company in the truck and engine market in the United States and will introduce new incentives into the Chinese market.
