Driven by national environmental protection policies and the continuous improvement and upgrading of technical routes, the new energy wave is rapidly sweeping every corner of the commercial vehicle industry, especially in the urban distribution logistics scene, and the process of new energy is more rapid. According to the terminal licensing data, in the first 11 months of 2023, the sales of new energy light trucks in China have reached 37,759, which exceeds the whole year of 2022.
As the mainstream of the new energy light truck market, pure electric light trucks have higher sales volume, but also face more fierce market competition.
At the scene of FAW Jiefang's 2024 business annual meeting, Jiefang Light Truck also brought the latest product that has not yet been officially launched - Tiger 6G pure electric version. In 2023, the fuel version of the Tiger 6G, which is positioned as a high-end light truck, has received excellent market feedback. So, what are the advantages of the pure electric version of the Tiger 6G?Does it have the strength to meet the pure electric light truck market?
In terms of appearance, the all-electric version of the Tiger 6G continues the shape of the gasoline version, and the iconic "Tomahawk" chrome trim makes its Tiger 6G family membership visible. At the same time, the closed front face and blue stripe decoration also highlight the new energy attributes of the vehicle.
The interior of the cab is also designed as a gasoline model. The overall color scheme of dark blue + bright black is adopted, and chrome trim strips are added to the details such as air conditioning outlets and cup holders as embellishments, adding to the refinement of the cab interior.
The steering wheel adopts a multi-functional design, which can realize the adjustment of functions such as the instrument panel and the central control multi-**. The instrument panel is an 8-inch full LCD instrument, and the central control is also equipped with a 10-inch multi-** LCD screen, with built-in reversing images, mobile phone interconnection, multi-** video and other functions. The overall configuration of the cab is high-end and intelligent.
In addition, the pure electric version of the Tiger 6G also has great advantages in the humanized design of the cab. Including the original mobile phone holder, the storage box with built-in air conditioning and heating, and multiple USB ports, etc., the attention to detail makes the high-end attributes of the vehicle more prominent.
The shift mechanism adopts a knob shift device, which is integrated with the electronic parking device at the armrest. Paired with it, there is also a one-button start button for the vehicle. All of the above configurations make the driving experience of the pure electric version of the Tiger 6G infinitely close to that of a passenger car.
The actual model is equipped with traditional fabric seats, and users can also choose the configuration of airbag shock absorption according to their own needs.
As a pure electric model, the "three-electric" system is undoubtedly the core of the vehicle. The pure electric version of the Tiger 6G is equipped with an integrated electric drive axle independently developed by Jiefang, and the integrated motor and rear design reserve more space for the chassis, which can be equipped with more battery packs to improve the vehicle's range. At the same time, this design can also help the vehicle to further reduce weight and increase the vehicle's cargo carrying capacity.
The motor is also a permanent magnet synchronous motor with CAM230PT2, with a peak power of 147kW and a maximum torque of 400Nm, the characteristics of high torque give the pure electric version of the Tiger 6G stronger power performance. At the same time, based on the characteristics of the maximum torque output that can be achieved at the beginning of the motor, the pure electric version of the Tiger 6G has the advantage of more efficient and direct power output compared with fuel vehicles.
The battery pack used in the all-electric version of the Tiger 6G is from CATL and has a battery capacity of 8655kwh。The battery pack is located in the middle of the vehicle's chassis, making the vehicle's center of gravity more stable, and the mid-mounted design can better ensure battery safety. At the same time, the battery pack also adopts CATL's latest single-pack battery technology, which can store more power in a smaller volume than ordinary battery packs, matching the liberation of efficient vehicle control strategies, so that the vehicle can achieve lower power consumption and a range of up to 215km. In addition, the battery also supports fast charging mode and has an 8-year 400,000 km long warranty to better ensure vehicle uptime.
It is worth mentioning that the pure electric version of the Tiger 6G also has two models: standard version and composite version. The chassis of the two models has been adjusted accordingly to meet the different cargo needs of the vehicles.
Summary:
Nowadays, pure electric light truck products are becoming more and more high-end and intelligent, and new products need stronger product power if they want to gain a foothold in the market. Jiefang light truck new energy technology development engineer told the commercial vehicle news media reporter that in the case of full load, the Tiger 6G pure electric light truck can achieve 3 35km mileage. Energy-saving, high efficiency, and long battery life are the powerful forces of Jiefanghu 6G to attack the pure electric light truck market
For users, the biggest concern for pure electric vehicles is range anxiety. The core competitiveness of the pure electric version of the Tiger 6G lies in the long battery life and calibration technology for exclusive scenarios. For example, there are some users who use the car on mountain roads, and some users who use the car on plains. We can calibrate the whole control system of the vehicle differently for different working conditions, so that the vehicle is more suitable for the long-term use scenarios faced by users in terms of power output, energy and other functions, so that the performance of the vehicle can be optimized. The engineer added.
It is reported that the pure electric version of the Tiger 6G has entered the trial operation stage of small batches and will be officially launched in 2024. At the same time, other strains of new energy products of Jiefang light trucks are also ready. In 2024, can new energy products create new sales growth points for Jiefang light trucks?Let's wait and see!
