Natural Gas Engine Helps Youth Olympic Games

Following the successful hosting of the second Asian Youth Games, Nanjing will usher in the second Youth Olympic Games in 2014. In order to implement the "green and low-carbon" concept of running the game, Nanjing launched a heavy measure to promote the Youth Olympic Games towards low-carbon. Among them, creating a "low-carbon transportation zone" and building a "green bus network" is a low-carbon project in Nanjing. An important step in action. In the search for low-carbon partners, Weichai natural gas engine has entered the vision of Nanjing Bus Group.

Grasping low-carbon opportunities, with quality service people Nanjing was approved as the first batch of demonstration projects for the “Bus City” construction project in China. The Nanjing Municipal Government has launched “railway transportation as a skeleton, ground transportation as a network, taxi as a supplement, and slow The "transportation is an extension" of the integrated public transit system and plans to increase the city's public transportation share rate to 40% before the 2014 Youth Olympic Games. At the same time, as Nanjing City successively organized the Asian Green Youth Olympic Games and the Youth Olympic Games, green, low-carbon, energy-saving and emission reduction became the primary considerations for Nanjing Bus Group to renew vehicles. After learning that Nanjing will launch 3,000 natural gas buses before the Youth Olympic Games will be held, Weichai will immediately negotiate with the regional manager of the bus manufacturer to optimize technical solutions and seek cooperation opportunities.

In addition to gaining the trust of bus manufacturers, it is equally important to win the willingness of end customers to cooperate. The Nanjing bus market is an area that Weichai never entered. Whether it can achieve zero breakthroughs, and in addition to favorable market opportunities, the key is that products and services can stand out from competitors and gain customer acceptance. “Many suppliers came to bid and decided to use the engine of Weichai, because of the excellent quality of Weichai products, and because of the professionalism and service awareness of Weichai sales personnel.” Minister Wang said that the first time he dealt with the Weichai sales staff was in July 2012, when he worked overtime at the unit over the weekend and after a brief telephone conversation, the Weichai technicians rushed over. The speed is fast, let him this southerner feel the boldness of Shandong people, the dedication of the Weichai people. After detailed introduction by Weichai staff, he learned that Weichai has been at the forefront of the industry in the field of low-carbon and environmental-friendly power research, especially in the technology and application fields of alternative fuel internal combustion engine products. In September 2011, Weichai's first direct-injected natural gas engine successfully fired successfully. In March 2012, the product was officially launched, completely breaking the constraints of the original gas engine technology bottleneck, and filling the domestic natural gas cylinder direct injection. The engine is blank in the application area. The technical strength of Weichai natural gas engines, environmental protection, low consumption, stability and reliability, and the perfect service maintenance system in Nanjing City left a good impression on Nanjing Bus Group. Weichai successfully took the first step.

The service does not stop but the power consumption is low. Although we did not use Weichai products in the past, Weichai's reputation in the national market has long been heard by leaders of the Nanjing Bus Group. In the subsequent market research, Weichai products industry has become famous. "Not only is the end-customer evaluation well, but even bus manufacturers are highly recommended." The result of market research has enabled Nanjing Bus Group to become more "loved" for Weichai products. After much communication and understanding, Nanjing Bus Group finally reached an agreement with Weichai.

The efforts of Weichai sales personnel do not stop at the sales of products, and in many of their subsequent work, they still maintain their initial enthusiasm to serve customers. "Weichai won't be a shopkeeper, and we can always respond to our reasonable requests. It's really 'required.'" Minister Wang disclosed whether it is required to assemble engine fault diagnostics equipment in proportion or to send maintenance personnel to the airport. Chai study training, Weichai readily agreed and implemented. In these nuanced sections, the staff of Nanjing Bus Group had a deeper understanding of Weichai's philosophy of customer satisfaction.

At the beginning of the cooperation, the one that most impressed the Nanjing Bus Group was the low consumption and environmental protection of the Weichai natural gas engine. However, in the subsequent practical application, the Weichai products were well-deserved reputation, and their low gas consumption and low emissions allowed the customers to take their oral convictions. On November 12-13 this year, the Yangzi Bus Company under the Nanjing Public Transport Group joined hands with Yutong Bus and Weichai Power to hold a special fuel-efficient competition. The models driven by the participating drivers were unified by the Yutong LNG clean energy vehicle and matched with the Weichai WP7NG260E50 engine. It was the main model of the Yangzi bus update this year, a total of 150 vehicles. The fuel saving rate of the vehicle was 5% compared with the conventional car. -10%, PM2.5, carbon monoxide indicators fell by more than 50%. After entering and leaving the station, speed limit road sections, traffic lights and many other tests, the gas consumption of the 12 passenger cars participating in the competition is within the range of 20-21 kg per million kilometers, which is better than the performance of 24-25 kg per million kilometers of ordinary vehicles.

"In addition to the outstanding performance in the competition, the Weichai engine's low gas consumption and strong power are also prominent in the usual driving." Sun Branch Chief of the Yangzi Bus Company's maintenance department showed the gas consumption table for November. The data showed that The gas consumption of diesel engine is far lower than that of other brand engines.

Working together to help the Youth Olympic Games With the approaching of the Youth Olympic Games, Weichai will have more engines to be put on the Nanjing bus routes, especially the establishment of the “low-carbon traffic zone” in the Nanjing Hexi Youth Olympic Games region. We have a broad market prospect for Weichai natural gas engines. Judging from the current good cooperation status, the local Weichai sales team is confident that it will win new orders in 2014. Because during the interview, both Jiangnan Bus and Yangzi Bus indicated that they have not received any reports of faults in Weichai engines since they were put into operation. Weichai products have “captured” their hearts and they will More consideration will be given to Weichai products.

It is reported that in order to enable Weichai engines to better serve the Youth Olympic Games, Weichai also set up a special action team to serve the Youth Olympic Games for 24 hours to ensure that Weichai Power can continuously send low-carbon power to the Youth Olympic Games. Green to add luster.
