On August 16th, 400 Dongfeng Tianlong flagship KX intelligent driving tractors equipped with Dongfeng Cummins Z13+Yingdong AMT integrated power chain were delivered to Zhongtong Express. This is the large-scale delivery of the first batch of Z13 engines from Dongfeng Cummins, marking that Dongfeng vehicles equipped with Dongfeng Cummins products have once again won the trust and recognition of top companies in the express delivery industry.
Zhongtong Express will leverage the high intelligence, economy, reliability, and comfort of Dongfeng Tianlong's flagship KX to achieve steady growth in the fiercely competitive market environment and maintain its leading position in the industry.
This delivery not only continues the momentum of successful mass delivery of products by Dongfeng Cummins and Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle in the past two quarters, but also highlights the outstanding performance and market recognition of both parties in the field of commercial vehicles.
With the development and application of intelligent technology, intelligent driving heavy-duty trucks have become a key driving force for promoting the transformation of the logistics industry. Since last year, intelligent driving heavy-duty trucks have become a breakthrough for logistics companies to reduce costs and increase efficiency, ushering in a small delivery boom in the express delivery industry. Industry giants such as Yunyi, Shentong, and YTO have successively purchased large quantities of intelligent driving heavy-duty trucks equipped with Dongfeng Cummins engines and put them into operation in the company. The industry leader effect brought about by this has opened up a thriving trend for the commercial application of intelligent heavy-duty trucks.
As a company that has been involved in the field of intelligent driving heavy-duty trucks for a long time, Dongfeng Cummins and Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle have joined forces with Winch Technology, which has independent research and development capabilities in intelligent driving. Winch Technology has upgraded the intelligence of the engine and the entire vehicle, using Winch Intelligent Driving ULRS perception algorithm and scene depth perception technology to achieve ultra long distance 3D perception; Meanwhile, thanks to the ARC regulatory algorithm, the stability and reliability of the entire vehicle have been further enhanced; In addition, the engine braking efficiency and response speed have significantly improved. Dongfeng Cummins has teamed up with Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle to deliver intelligent driving heavy-duty trucks in bulk to top companies in the express delivery industry and put them into operation, both of which have won a good reputation. This has also become a reliable verification for Dongkang and Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle to win the market and customer trust.
The Dongfeng Tianlong flagship KX intelligent driving tractor Zhongtong customized version delivered this time has achieved significant improvements in multiple aspects: the entire vehicle has been upgraded in terms of power, with higher fuel efficiency, providing strong and stable driving force that meets different working conditions; At the level of intelligent driving, our partner, Yingche Technology, has customized and upgraded the intelligent driving system based on the customer's transportation route, operation process, and management difficulties, in order to better adapt to actual needs and ensure the safe and efficient operation of vehicles at all times. In addition, the optimization of the vehicle's spatial comfort and overall safety creates a more superior working environment.
The rapid development of the express delivery industry has forced express delivery companies to choose more efficient and reliable vehicles. Efficiency and profitability have become the development goals of large express transportation enterprises, and purchasing cost-effective transportation heavy trucks has become a key part of achieving this goal. In response to this, Dongfeng Cummins has conducted in-depth insights into the demand for mainline logistics transportation, and has joined hands with Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles and Yingche Technology to break through the traditional operation methods of mainline logistics, using technological means to give heavy-duty trucks the advantages of intelligence, efficiency, reliability, and cost reduction. This is also an important reason why Zhongtong Express chooses to carry Dongkang products.
The Dongfeng Tianlong flagship KX delivered this time is equipped with a deep integration of Dongfeng Cummins Z13 engine and Yingdong AMT integrated power chain. The maximum output power of the engine is 580 horsepower, and the peak torque reaches 2750N · m. It can unleash high torque at low speeds, with very strong explosive power, leading the industry in terms of power for products with the same displacement. The transient response is improved by 5% -10%, and the starting acceleration performance is improved by 10%, ensuring the operational efficiency of express transportation in various complex road conditions. Combined with the Yingdong AMT gearbox and over ten driving modes, it frees up the left and right hands. The automatic start and creep function ensures worry free forward and reverse operations, ensuring efficient delivery and express delivery services.
In addition, the Dongkang Z13 engine has been customized according to the express transport vehicle and working conditions, with a high explosive pressure of 250 Bar to meet harsh mechanical and thermal loads. The oil pump and fuel pump have been fully upgraded, with excellent leak proof, waterproof, and dustproof performance. It has a maximum oil change cycle of 150000 kilometers and a diversified maintenance plan, which enhances reliability while reducing vehicle costs.
In terms of operating costs, the Dongkang Z13 engine has demonstrated significant technological advantages, with a 30% reduction in engine parts and a lighter weight compared to engines of the same displacement, resulting in lower transportation costs; At the same time, the engine adopts an ultra-high pressure common rail fuel injection system and a new generation exhaust system, which makes combustion more complete. The fuel consumption rate is only 172g/kW · h, greatly improving the fuel economy of mainline logistics transportation, and assisting customers to achieve low-cost and high-value operation with its strength!
400 intelligent driving tractors equipped with Dongfeng Cummins Z13+Yingdong AMT integrated power chain have been delivered to Zhongtong Express. This is not only a model of deep exploration and cooperation between the two industry leaders in the field of smart logistics, but also marks the arrival of a new era of logistics led by intelligence.
At a critical juncture in the logistics and transportation industry, Dongfeng Cummins will continue to launch more high-performance and high-quality products, work together with partners to provide customers with better transportation solutions, and continue to inject momentum into the rapid development of the industry.
