At present, the continuous improvement of global environmental awareness, the continuous development of NG technology, and the "oversupply" of NG energy have combined to stabilize gas prices at a "low level". In the first half of 2024, the NG proportion of the domestic tractor market will be as high as 77%, and it is expected that this trend will continue to "heat up" in the second half of this year. It is precisely because of the fact that the proportion of natural gas as vehicle fuel will be higher and higher, at the beginning of this year, FAW Jiefang launched a J7 tractor equipped with a 16-liter large-displacement gas engine for the express logistics market segment, aiming to meet the needs of users for strong power, low gas consumption, high reliability, high comfort, and long maintenance.
Half a year has passed, how do cardholders evaluate this gas car? Recently, the reporter interviewed more than a dozen J7 LNG owners, whose footprints are all over the country, from Zhoukou to Xinjiang, from Shangqiu to Guangzhou, from Kunming to Dali...... It covers a vast area of east, west, north and south. These users have provided valuable experience and real feedback on the economy, reliability and service support of the J7 car under different geographical environments and climatic conditions.
Outstanding in all aspects, Master Wang's first choice is to liberate J7
Generally, there are four obvious characteristics of express market operation: first, the operation is highly time-efficient, which requires vehicles with high horsepower and strong power; Second, the pursuit of low cost requires vehicles with ultra-low energy consumption; Third, the vehicle should ensure high uptime and long maintenance intervals; Fourth, the driver drives for a long time, and the vehicle should have good comfort. Henan car owner Wang Jianmin is in accordance with the above four "hard indicators" to choose, he said: "when the old car is replaced, I want to start a high-end natural gas vehicle, compared a lot of brands, learned that J7 launched a 600 horsepower LNG tractor, immediately ordered one, because no matter from which aspect, the liberation J7 is much better." After driving it back and forth between Zhengzhou and Changsha for a period of time, the J7's performance did not disappoint me, not only the car is in good condition, less maintenance, but also quiet and comfortable in the car, which fully meets the high requirements of express logistics 'timeliness' and 'solar terms'. Usually, the total weight of my distribution is around 30 tons, and the average gas consumption per 100 kilometers is 28.8kg. Now if anyone asks me what car to buy, the first recommendation is the Jiefang J7. ”
Super horsepower, easy to cope with plateau road conditions
Master Chen, a user in Yunnan, travels back and forth between Kunming and Dali all year round, and is engaged in department store transportation. Previously, he drove a J7 fuel car, but this year, he changed to a J7 gas car during the Chinese New Year. What he talks about the most is the gas consumption of this car: the vehicle is equipped with a CA6SX1 engine, a 16L large displacement, and 600 horsepower. The vehicle does not lose power in the 3,000-meter mountainous area, and it can easily cope with the 5,000-meter plateau. In order to set a new benchmark for high efficiency and energy saving in the industry, FAW Jiefang has set up a CA6SX1 special "tracking team" in Yunnan, where there are many plateaus, to monitor the energy saving effect of products. Peak Power proves that the comprehensive thermal efficiency of the CA6SX1 engine has exceeded 40% for the first time, and the comprehensive transmission efficiency has exceeded 3% in the industry. Master Chen's current total cargo weight is about 49 tons, and the average gas consumption is 31.6kg/100km, which is less than other brands of vehicles. Master Chen said that J7 is very satisfied in all aspects and is worth recommending.
Comfortable shock absorption, Master Li bought the right car
Master Li Hongwei's daily transportation route is from Shangqiu to Guangzhou, spanning a vast area from central to southern China, covering a variety of terrains such as plains, mountains, and hills. Since the transportation is time-sensitive goods such as electronic products, Master Li pays special attention to the power performance of the vehicle, and when choosing the car, he buys it according to the "high horsepower" standard. At present, his J7 600 horsepower LNG vehicle has traveled nearly 40,000 kilometers, usually at high speeds, with an average gas consumption of about 30kg per 100 kilometers. Master Li can't help but praise it for its abundant power, wisdom and energy saving. In addition to gas saving, more than 20 acoustic measures have been implemented in the Jiefang J7 engine and cab to ensure the comfort and shock absorption of the vehicle in an all-round way, without fear of road disturbances. He said: "Now this car is running more and more smoothly, I feel that I have bought the right car!" The manufacturer's service is also very intimate, and the dealer calls from time to time to help solve all kinds of questions. "Jiefang J7's gas consumption and service have won high recognition from Master Li.
Trust liberation and witness the new low transportation cost
Pulling goods from Henan to Xinjiang is nearly 3,000 kilometers, which is a route that Li Yanpeng and Master Yang are all too familiar with. They were all driving J7 600 horsepower LNG tractors, with a gross cargo weight of around 49 tons. Although the road is long, the gas consumption of Master Li Yanpeng and Master Yang is really eye-catching, at 28.2kg/100km and 28.9kg/100km respectively. Master Yang was very satisfied with the J7's gas consumption performance, he said: "The gas consumption exceeded my expectations, and the speed change is easy to operate, and long-distance transportation has to be liberated!" Master Li is also full of praise for J7: "Jiefang brand makes our card friends trust, this car is suitable for trunk logistics, flat floor cab space, seats and sleepers are very comfortable, driving is not tired, rest and relieve fatigue, sound insulation effect is also very good, I plan to buy another J7 gas car, and I will recommend relatives and friends around me to choose it." ”
As the most mass-produced 16L 6SX1 engine in the industry, the J7 LNG tractor not only reflects FAW Jiefang's continuous efforts in technological innovation and product optimization, but also reflects its accurate grasp of market demand and in-depth understanding of customer pain points. The emergence of the J7 16-liter gas tractor means that cardholders engaged in express logistics can achieve higher transportation efficiency with lower operating costs, witnessing a new low cost per kilometer for cardholders. Jiefang not only enhances the market competitiveness of its own products, but also promotes the development of the entire express logistics industry in a more efficient and environmentally friendly direction.
