While natural gas is still in the area of annual high gas prices, the gas vehicle market in January 2024 has ushered in a wave of skyrocketing. According to the exclusive data of the truck E family, the number of natural gas tractor terminals in the market in January 2024 will be 3,621 units, an increase of 89 units month-on-month73%, a year-on-year increase of 13838%。
In the January market, which is cold almost every year, the natural gas tractor has more than doubled year-on-year, which really shows the popularity of this market. In January, a total of 6,169 tractors were launched, and natural gas tractors were rated at 58The high proportion of 6% contributes to the strongest combat power.
In addition to the market heat that exceeded expectations, the truck e-family was also the first to notice the liberation of the dust in the online analysis, occupying the sales crown of natural gas tractors in the month with a large score of 2,101 terminals. It is worth noting that in addition to the northwest region, which is the mainstream of gas vehicles, and the northeast and north regions where the main sales are liberated, Big Brother has also achieved ice-breaking in many provinces such as ** and Hainan. This wave of liberation is menacing, and it has indeed made certain achievements in various regions, with a very large increase from the previous month and the same period last year.
The two, three, and four are also old acquaintances in the gas vehicle market, such as China National Heavy Duty Truck, Shaanxi Automobile Heavy Truck and Dongfeng. The fifth Beijing heavy truck is worth paying attention to, last year Beijing heavy truck in the fourth quarter of the new product launch and achieved a total of 54 units, this year at the beginning of the "super double", the product force is also quite recognized by the market.
It seems that the share of the gas vehicle market is inevitable and the competition is fierce.
Limited by the influence of gas refueling and transportation market characteristics, the main sales area of gas vehicles has always been mainly in the north, and it first appeared in the field of coal transportation in Shanxi. In 2023, due to the reduction of gas prices, gas tractors are popularized, and so far, through the regional heat map, it can be found that the entire North China, Central China and Southwest China have gradually become the main sales areas of natural gas tractors, and other provinces have more or less about 10-50 units online, which is a side confirmation of the overall popularity of the gas vehicle market.
Compared with October and December last year, the number of natural gas tractor terminals in all provinces increased in January this year. Special attention is paid to Shandong, as a major transportation province, the number of gas vehicle terminals in the region has been stable at more than 300 units, mainly in coal, green pass and other subdivisions.
According to the data of the truck E family, among the 3,621 natural gas tractors in January, the models equipped with Weichai gas engines accounted for 7675%, the second and third places are Xichai (liberation power) and Cummins. It seems that Weichai's market recognition in the gas vehicle market is still very high, with WP17NG open road high-horsepower market in the front and 10-15NG models in the rear being upgraded steadily.
The mainstream demand of the market is concentrated in the horsepower range of 480-500 and 520-580, and multi-model and full-power coverage are also the key to Weichai's engine to win market reputation. Due to the increase in sales of Jiefang gas vehicles, the proportion of Jiefang Power in early 2024 has also increased.
To sum up, judging from the online data of gas tractor terminals in January 2024, the industry is generally optimistic that the gas market in 2024 will indeed have the ability to surpass diesel vehicles. When the spring flowers bloom, if the natural gas ** falls back to a low level as expected, it will inevitably push the gas vehicle to the climax of the start of the car purchase season. Which brands will have the upper hand in this competition? At the beginning of each month, the truck e-family will continue to present the industry's first-hand terminal online analysis report, and the front row will watch!
