China's latest list of global unicorns shows that China has 316 unicorn companies, making it one of the countries with the largest number of unicorns in the world. Among them, unicorn companies in the field of new energy vehicles have received special attention. Among these new energy unicorns, there are well-known companies such as Zeekr Automobile, Hezhong Automobile, and WM Motor, while the unicorns in the field of new energy commercial vehicles include Kaiwo Automobile and Sany Heavy Truck. The market research report pointed out that in recent years, the trend of new energy trucks accelerating the replacement of traditional fuel trucks is obvious, the truck electric drive market is growing rapidly, and Sany heavy truck has become a new star in the new energy commercial vehicle market, and the company's valuation has exceeded 10 billion yuan, reaching 14 billion.
Sany Heavy Truck is an intelligent manufacturing project of Sany Group to promote the deep integration of entities and the Internet, filling the gap in Hunan's heavy truck manufacturing industry. Over the years, Sany Heavy Truck has been working silently in the industry and is committed to building the No. 1 brand of new energy heavy truck sales in China. They have successively launched fuel heavy trucks, electric heavy trucks, hydrogen energy heavy trucks, battery swap stations, hydrogen production and refueling integrated stations, light trucks, hybrid heavy trucks and other products, and won the national sales championship of new energy heavy trucks for two consecutive years. With excellent technical strength and excellent product quality, the valuation of Sany Heavy Truck has rapidly climbed to a high of 14 billion.
Previously, in the field of long endurance, there has been a gap in domestic electric heavy trucks. However, the statement of Liang Linhe, chairman of Sany Heavy Truck, has changed the situation. He said: "If long-distance transportation relies on battery swapping, it will cost astronomical sums, and the timeliness of long-distance transportation will drop sharply. However, the hydrogen energy industry chain is not perfect and cannot solve the immediate demand. In today's rapid development of pure electricity, large electricity must be one of the solutions for long-distance zero-carbon transportation. Sany Heavy Truck immediately launched the Mota 1165 electric tractor, challenging the world's longest endurance record for new energy heavy trucks. The car carried 4045 tons of cargo, sailing from Changsha to Shenzhen, with a battery life of 817 on a single charge5 kilometers, successfully breaking the Guinness World Record, won the honor of the longest distance traveled on a single charge. This breakthrough marks a breakthrough for China's new energy commercial vehicles in medium and long-distance transportation scenarios.
In terms of technology, this electric tractor of Sany Heavy Truck has achieved 5 major technological breakthroughs. The first is the large power arrangement, which greatly reduces the use of redundant wiring harnesses and components in the chassis by integrating the battery into the chassis, and increases the energy density of the battery by 40%. The second is the thermal management of the whole vehicle, through the preset of different working conditions, different thermal management modes are adopted, and the overall thermal management efficiency is increased by 30% compared with the traditional battery pack. In addition, charging efficiency, cell reliability, and vehicle control have been significantly improved.
In terms of production, Sany Heavy Truck's heavy-duty commercial vehicle intelligent manufacturing factory based on the 5G industrial Internet has realized the implementation of 8 industrial application scenarios, including 5G traceability in the production process, intelligent logistics in the factory area, equipment collaborative operation, production energy efficiency control, etc. The realization of these applications has increased the efficiency of workshop distribution by 50%, the utilization rate of the site by 166%, and the automation rate of workshop robots by 100%. These achievements have made Sany Heavy Truck rated as a "5G Industrial Internet" demonstration factory in Hunan Province.
On the whole, in the past two years, Sany Heavy Truck has developed rapidly with a "wild" attitude, with a domestic market share of more than two percent, ranking first in the field. Last year's sales increased by 180% year-on-year, winning the annual sales championship. From January to May this year, sales increased by 71% year-on-year35%, ranking first in the sales of new energy heavy trucks, has been favored by customers in Hunan, Yunnan, Hefei, Anhui, Tianjin and other different places across the country. Sany Heavy Truck's development goal is very clear, and they are determined to lead the energy revolution of commercial vehicles and become a world-class commercial vehicle brand.
Analysts' comments on the new energy heavy truck market believe that the new energy heavy truck market in the field of green transportation has broad development prospects, but also faces huge challenges. With the continuous innovation and development of new energy technology, significant progress has been made in battery technology, power system and charging facilities. It is believed that in the future, through continuous innovation and collaborative cooperation, the truck market will usher in a radical change and make greater contributions to the cause of green transportation.
The development of the field of new energy trucks is eye-catching, and China Sany Heavy Truck Company has become a leader in the new energy commercial vehicle market by virtue of its excellent technology and product advantages. First of all, their technological breakthrough solves the problem of battery life in the field of long-distance transportation, breaking the long-standing gap of domestic electric heavy trucks in this regardSecondly, with the application of intelligent manufacturing and 5G technology, Sany Heavy Truck has also greatly improved its production efficiency and effectiveness. Therefore, I am full of confidence in the future of Sany Heavy Truck, and I believe that they will continue to lead the energy revolution of commercial vehicles and become a world-class commercial vehicle brand."
