With the trend of major host manufacturers increasing their efforts to launch high-power gas heavy-duty trucks, even the once rare long-distance cold chain transportation industry has seen an increasing number of gas heavy-duty trucks. Mr. Suo, who has nearly a decade of transportation experience, also drove the newly purchased Shaanxi Yan'an S700 gas tractor by his boss in early April this year.
About a year ago, Master Suo joined the current transportation company, mainly responsible for transportation on the Xinjiang Special Line. Prior to this, he had always been with oil vehicles and had never driven a gas vehicle. For him, the Shaanxi Yan'an S700 gas tractor, from the truck brand to the Cummins 15N natural gas engine it is his first encounter, so he naturally looks forward to the performance of this vehicle in actual operation.
There are also product researchers from Shaanxi Automobile Commercial Vehicle who share strong expectations with Mr. Suo. On April 25th, they set off together from Tianjin, following Zhangjiakou and Baotou to Ejina Banner, heading west and embarking on the journey of cold chain transportation of cream to Aksu. Conduct a comprehensive performance test on the Shaanxi Yan'an S700 gas tractor with a long-distance mileage of over 4000 kilometers.
In the journey of cold chain transportation, every fresh serving is the ultimate pursuit of refrigeration and efficiency.
Years of experience in cold chain transportation have developed a habit for Master Suo. On the day he needs to load goods, he always turns on the refrigerator early to pre cool the cargo compartment, creating a suitable room temperature environment for goods to sleep in. "Cream needs to be chilled to minus 18 degrees Celsius, which does consume more electricity. However, our cargo compartment temperature is more uniform than others, and the preservation effect is guaranteed. The goods will not spoil."
This journey began in Tianjin, where the flat expressway became a stage for Shaanxi Yan'an S700 gas tractor to showcase its speed advantage. The car is equipped with a Cummins 15N natural gas engine, a winning 12 speed AMT gearbox, and a Hande axle power chain, with a rear axle speed ratio of 3.545. This combination has the characteristics of high efficiency and stability, which is very suitable for long-distance trunk lines, cold chain logistics and other transportation scenarios, and is like a fish in water on plain road conditions.
"Previously, most gas cars were in the 460 or 480 horsepower range, which was not enough for complex road conditions. However, Shaanxi Automobile Yan'an drove directly to 580 horsepower, and the power of the Cummins 15N natural gas engine was not inferior to that of gasoline cars. As soon as the goods were loaded, with just one step of effort, it easily overtook the cars along the way!" The entire journey was almost at high speed, benefiting from the integrated gear shift The multifunctional steering wheel with buttons such as E/P switch and cruise control greatly shortens the running in period between the driver and the new car, and quickly enters a proficient driving control state.
Time is money, and time is the king. In order to uphold the iron law of cold chain transportation, the outstanding performance of the Cummins 15N natural gas engine has become the primary contributor to the "fresh lock" delivery of cold chain transportation. Master Suo praised, "Shaan Automobile Yan'an S700 gas tractor with Cummins 15N natural gas engine running cold chain, it's like a walking freezer. The cream is fresh as if it's just left the factory, and customers are satisfied with the quality. I drive it with enthusiasm! You're really a capable assistant for us cold chain people!"
Long distance transportation always faces many uncertainties, especially when power outage will directly cause delay in compensation. The Cummins 15N natural gas engine shoulders the mission of being the source of power, significantly reducing potential risks on the road and becoming a solid support for Mr. Suo. Inject confidence and peace of mind into his heart, share the heavy transportation responsibility together, and ensure that the goods arrive on time and safely.
Challenge the mountain slopes, climb the peaks without obstacles and reliably
In the process of facing numerous challenges, having reliable partners to accompany, having a plan in mind, and not panicking in hand.
Master Suo introduced that Tianjin to Aksu is one of their company's main dedicated transportation routes, and there are two major challenges to overcome along the way: first, when crossing the Hebei border, one needs to deal with a rugged mountain road; Secondly, after entering the Baotou and Ejina Banner areas, as the altitude gradually increases, the uphill sections become more frequent, which undoubtedly tests the endurance of the Shaanxi Yan'an S700 gas tractor.
During the new car's running in period, even experienced drivers are inevitably cautious, but Master Suo shows a calm and confident attitude. "As the old saying goes, 'true gold is not afraid of fire.' Although I haven't been with Shaanxi Yan'an for a long time, based on my driving experience, it is the true gold that can withstand the test. The 580 horsepower Cummins 15N natural gas engine gives me confidence and I don't have to be afraid to run any road."
Awesome is the key to climbing. The peak torque of the Cummins 15N natural gas engine can reach 2600 Newton meters, coupled with the Windo AMT gearbox with a transmission efficiency of up to 99.8%, it has a series of characteristics such as fast transient response, fast starting acceleration, and strong uphill power, and can maintain continuous and powerful output under all working conditions.
The fact also proves that Master Suo's "car viewing perspective" is correct. The long-distance explosive power of the Shaanxi Yan'an S700 gas tractor is long-lasting, maintaining a speed of 90-105km/h from plains to high altitude, from uphill to steady downhill, and leading the way in various working conditions. During this period, in addition to strictly adhering to the rule of stopping and resting every 4 hours, there have never been any incidents of chain breakage or delayed delivery.
Currently, the cost difference of oil and gas is about 1 yuan per kilometer. To achieve greater profits, the energy-saving performance of the entire vehicle is crucial. Thanks to the sophisticated combination of Cummins' cutting-edge equivalent combustion technology and EGR exhaust gas recirculation system, a perfect balance between power and economy has been achieved, and gas consumption control far exceeds expectations. In addition, the flat and optimized chassis design effectively reduces wind resistance and further saves gas consumption.
According to Master Suo's rough estimation, the average gas consumption per 100 kilometers of Shaanxi Yan'an S700 gas tractor is about 30, which is far ahead of its peers. It is truly for the consideration of users' wallets and a powerful assistant to improve profits. The 1500L large capacity gas cylinder injects long-lasting energy into the Shaanxi Yan'an S700 gas tractor, ensuring worry free range and full confidence.
Enjoy comfort and embark on a long journey without getting tired and bleeding
In the life of traveling day and night, make driving a pleasure, full of joy and composure.
The long-distance cold chain journey of thousands of kilometers has made trucks no longer just a simple means of transportation, but a mobile home for cardholders. Like many transportation companies that undertake long-distance freight orders, Mr. Suo's company also adopts a dual driver mode to improve transportation efficiency, naturally setting higher standards for the configuration and comfort of the driver's cabin.
During the journey, Master Suo always maintained abundant energy and expressed his satisfaction with the cab of the Shaanxi Yan'an S700 gas tractor, saying, "The double sleeper design of this car is simply tailored for our two drivers. The sleeper size is wide and the material is soft, which makes lying on it very relaxing. With such a resting environment, the fatigue of long-distance running is completely eliminated. I really like it!"
In order to create a high-quality resting environment, the driver's cabin has a 2.13 meter interior height and a flat floor design, greatly facilitating the free switching of the driver and passenger in the car. At the same time, it is equipped with ventilated and heated Grammer seats with elbow rests, original parking air conditioning, small table boards The USB interface and other humanized configurations are readily available, making it just a place to stay at home, while maintaining convenience and enjoyment.
Shaanxi Automobile Yan'an is truly a high-end heavy-duty truck, and the driver's cab is equipped with a car refrigerator and water dispenser. If you can't get used to out of town food, you can also bring more ingredients to make it yourself, which is very convenient. In addition, the entire vehicle provides over 1000L of storage space, accommodating various daily necessities, from daily water bottles, small appliances to changing clothes, everything is well organized, providing great convenience for long-distance driving and riding.
On April 27th, entering the local area of Aksu, facing an unfamiliar unloading location, Master Suo appeared effortless. With the assistance of a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel and a 12.3-inch floating intelligent large screen, he skillfully activated the navigation system and found a clear path, successfully reaching his destination. At the same time, Mr. Suo's boss utilized Shaanxi Automobile's self-developed Tianxingjian car networking system, which only required a mobile phone or computer to know his transportation process, achieving remote monitoring of vehicles and effectively improving the company's management efficiency.
Master Suo doesn't have to worry about finding goods on the return journey. The company has planned a seamless fruit transportation business in advance. This logistical support, combined with the outstanding performance of Shaanxi Yan'an S700 gas tractor, has boosted Master Suo's confidence. "Accompanied by a fast, powerful, and comfortable companion from Shaanxi Automobile Yan'an, despite the countless mountains and rivers ahead, our hearts are at ease. Just run with confidence and earn happiness!"
