In 2012, the country’s trucking companies were all very serious. Among the few highlights, Xinjiang accounted for two points: One was the further promotion and development of gas trucks; the other was the performance of truck exports, and the modification The export volume of vehicles accounts for more than 60% of the total exports of heavy trucks.
Bear market decline narrowed
“In 2012, the truck market in the country was sluggish. Internal and external demand was reduced. Truck sales in the entire Xinjiang region had decreased compared to 2011. Although statistics have not yet come out, the situation in the first 11 months of 2012 will The cumulative annual decline in production and sales is certainly lower than the national level.†The professional chief engineer and senior engineer Nie Yuesheng of Xinjiang Futian Guanghui Special Vehicle Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Guanghui Special Vehicle Co., Ltd.) told reporters: “Only in terms of statistical data on the local modified depot in Xinjiang In the first 11 months of 2012, a total of more than 3,000 vehicles were produced, compared with more than 2,300 vehicles in the same period last year, an increase of around 30%.â€
“Because of different statistical calibers, Dongfeng Xinjiang Auto Co., Ltd. is currently making special vehicles for the production of heavy trucks in Xinjiang, and Shaanxi Automobile Xinjiang Automobile Co., Ltd.’s modified car business is in CIMC Vehicles (Group). Xinjiang Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Xinjiang CIMC) does, so in 2012 Xinjiang's special-purpose vehicle sales must exceed 3,000 vehicles,†adds Nie Yuesheng.
It is understood that there are currently 4 to 5 special-purpose vehicle manufacturers in the Xinjiang region: Guanghui, Xinjiang Tianshan Automobile Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Xinjiang CIMC, and HTC Heavy Industries, all of which are of different sizes. “Although there was a slight increase in sales volume, in 2012 Xinjiang's special-purpose vehicle market still had a loss of 82.9 million yuan, only Guanghui was a profit, and the profit was about 1.2 million yuan.†Nie Yuesheng said: “My company’s scale is The number of existing special-purpose vehicle companies is not large, with more than 100 employees. In 2012, the sales volume was 878 vehicles, of which more than 600 were refitted dump trucks. In 2012, Xinjiang CIMC sold about 1900 vehicles, but one of them The production capacity of the project is 5,000 units, and at least more than 2,000 vehicles will be able to reach the break-even point. The other several loss-making companies are either in the same situation as Xinjiang CIMC or have very little business volume."
Huang Gang, general manager of Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle Co., Ltd., once said that the market for logistics-type and operation-specific vehicles based on road use is more extensive, while the proportion of special vehicles for engineering will decline year after year until a relatively stable state. This is also reflected in the 2012 Xinjiang market.
Exports to Central Asia to make up for domestic decline
According to reports, the CIMC Xinjiang special-purpose vehicle production base is located in the North District Industrial Park of the Urumqi High-tech Zone in Xinjiang, with a total investment of 250 million yuan. The products are mainly for the Central Asian, Russian, and Northwest markets, and are invested and constructed in two phases, implementing rolling development. The first phase started in April 2008 and was completed in October 2009. After the completion of the project, it will have the capacity to produce 5,000 semitrailers, dump trucks, and trailers in a single shift. After the completion of the second phase of the project, tanker trucks, bulk cement trucks, cement mixers and other tank-type vehicles will be produced.
“In the second half of 2012, the company basically had no domestic orders. Originally, the capacity of the Xinjiang market was limited, and the vast population was one of the basic characteristics. Ultimately, it was able to achieve profitability in contrarian terms and the business of exports to Central Asia contributed. According to a rough calculation, in 2012, the export business had a 40% contribution rate to the company.†Nie Yuesheng told reporters: “In 2012, Xinjiang exported about 12,000 heavy trucks, of which 60% to 70% were modified vehicles. The vehicles produced by the company account for only 15% of the total amount of heavy trucks exported, so Xinjiang has always encouraged the development of local enterprises and kept the market."
In 2009, Xinjiang issued a plan for the revitalization of the automobile industry and put forward efforts to build Xinjiang into a base for the manufacture and assembly of cars exported to the west. Combining with the status quo of the Xinjiang auto industry, the Autonomous Region Administration of Electrical and Mechanical Services decided to take the production of complete vehicles as a leader and special vehicles as support, and introduced domestic passenger car manufacturers to set up production bases in Xinjiang to Urumqi Economic and Technological Development Zone (Toutun River) and Urumqi High-tech Industrial Development Zone (new urban area) is the core area for the automobile industry, building Urumqi into an important automobile assembly and manufacturing base in western China. Focus on the development of heavy-duty trucks, desert off-road vehicles, passenger cars, all kinds of special vehicles, as well as car chassis, leaf springs, axles, cabs, etc., to speed up industrial aggregation, and gradually form the automotive industry cluster.
It is understood that the strong demand for automobiles from neighboring countries in Xinjiang provides a broad space for the development of the Xinjiang automobile industry. “The company is mainly engaged in export business. The customers in the Xinjiang region are mainly retail. Although there are certain amounts of special vehicles such as sanitation vehicles and garbage trucks purchased by governments at all levels in Xinjiang in the past two years, the company is familiar with the Central Asian market, and Vehicle sales there are also good, so the main energy is still on the Central Asian market." A heavy truck dealer in Xinjiang told reporters.
As the sales volume of domestic heavy trucks in the Central Asian market has steadily increased year by year, at present, Xinjiang export vehicle distribution companies have established more than a hundred automobile service stations in Russia, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Azerbaijan. And marketing service points.
Adequate enough size to reflect the advantages
“How large is the market capacity of special vehicles in Xinjiang and Central Asia? This is what we have been exploring. Before the domestic and foreign markets were booming, many people were optimistic about Xinjiang, and many companies also built factories here. But in 2012, When the market fell, many companies did not have orders. Machines stopped production and workers took turns. Not only did it affect corporate profits and workers' income, it was also a waste of resources.†Nie Yuesheng believes: “In the past, we have tried all kinds of modified vehicles, but the effect is very general. , Orders are limited, it is difficult to reach a certain scale, naturally there will be no good benefits. Later we made adjustments, and now basically do the dump truck modification, in 2012 more than 600 vehicles.
Industry experts pointed out that one of the problems that needs to be solved in China's special-purpose vehicle market is positioning, that is, enough "specialty" must be achieved. The development direction of special vehicles should be towards specialization and specialization. It is based on the special requirements of users to produce special vehicles including lift trucks, special vehicles with ladders, and container transport vehicles. In response, some distributors in Xinjiang also agreed.
“Although special vehicles continue to develop, the development speed of different models is not the same. According to the year, local economic development and construction priorities, sprinklers, tankers, aerial vehicles, garbage trucks, compressed garbage trucks and other development The levels are different.†According to industry insiders in Xinjiang, “While the signs of global economic recovery are not obvious, the domestic economy should have recovered from 2012. Special vehicles are mainly used to contribute to the development of economic construction. Sprinklers, garbage trucks, etc. are indispensable models in every city, and tankers are the lifeblood of the country's economic development. In addition, dump trucks, aerial platforms, etc. are also essential for economic construction."
