Diesel power accounts for 70%, Yueda light truck RV and East China pickup truck camping boost BEV business travel to break the ice
Continuing from the above, we will further subdivide the new business travel products in 2023 from the perspective of fuel type. Overall:
Diesel power accounted for 713%, relatively commercial vehicles N class special vehicles or cargo vehicle system, firmly ranked the first driving force in the business travel category, mainly including two categories: sojourn and camping (especially small camping). However, except for the special circumstances in the second quarter, the share of more than 2 3 in other months, and even the proportion often breaks through.
Gasoline power accounted for 262%, relatively partial passenger car or M class passenger vehicle system, LCV below 3 tons is the preferred solution, roughly for the diesel power dividing line. Among them, the MPV category is led by more than 100 faults, and the number of light passenger vans, pickup trucks and 3-ton small trucks also has 3-40 new products. In addition, Sichuan Toyota Coaster and Yutong T7 business minibus (using Ford 35L) There are two models each, which shows that mid-size vehicles still have a certain preference for gasoline engines with better NVH performance.
The remaining alternative fuels New energy is a marginal position for the business travel category, and given that it has only a very small share, it can only be regarded as a supplementary player in each month. However, for electrification, 2023 can be called an ice-breaking year for business travel, after solving the "from 0 to 1", more car companies have emerged in the past year, a total of 12, which can be said to be the first batch of representatives who have the courage to "eat crabs". At the same time, in 2023, an extremely rare CNG-powered commercial vehicle will appear, that is, the 374th batch of scenic G7 series BJ5039XSW-K3 commercial vehicles announced by Beiqi Foton in August, using Shenyang Aerospace Mitsubishi 2The 4L, 160 horsepower gas machine can be called "a highly customized model among niche products".
Due to the "relative" limitation of the current power battery technology, it is rarely involved in motorhomes that value the freedom of passage, and the only BEV European light passenger car that uses the Wanbao body-in-white transformation is the only pure electric product in the industry (formerly BAIC Changzhou and Hangzhou Zhongqi-Chengdu Zhongzhi). In the 377th batch of the November issue, Jiangsu Yueda Special Automobile declared the YD5040XLjCABev pure electric motorhome, which became the industry's first C-type large forehead and truck chassis BEV sojourn product, which is more groundbreaking and epoch-making significance. The car uses FAW Jiefang Qingdao ** Tiger 6G class II chassis restructuring, classic rear horizontal bed layout scheme, rated capacity of 6 people (front 2 + rear 4), equipped with China Innovation Airlines 81878 degree LFP power battery, Shanghai Zhongke Shenjiang 120KW electric drive system, up to 100km h, 326 kilometers of continuous driving basically meet most of the province or a small number of inter-provincial self-driving tours, but also obviously depends on the popularity of charging facilities in the travel destination.
There are a total of 560 models in the sojourn category, an increase of more than 40% compared with 392 models in 2022, once again hitting a record high, and it is the absolute leader of new business travel products. In a single month, the max-min was 66 in April and 22 in March, with a monthly average of 467 models. Among them: a total of 519 self-propelled motorhomes, a year-on-year increase of more than 60%. The non-powered sojourn has become the only negative growth in the whole spectrum, with a total of 41 models throughout the year, a decline of more than 40%, mainly affected by the switch of the central shaft - it can be seen that the regular sojourn hanging brought by the C6 quasi-driving still needs time.
As a well-known passenger pickup truck in the industry, Geely long-range radar RD6 has always been exploring the "same price of oil and electricity" and "going to the business", and strive to get rid of the background derived from Haoyue SUV, last year it launched (agricultural) science and technology innovation version and other commercial styles, and to the new hot spot of the Internet celebrity "small camping" crossover, such as the 378th batch of December issue announced Changshu East China declared CSZ5033TSYBEV pure electric camping vehicle, the roof is arranged with folding tent sleeping utensils, cargo boxes equipped with pull-out kitchenware, refrigerators, car toilets, etc., optional 2.5 tons of mid-shaft traction mass, equipped with Ningbo Weirui 86 degree NCM power battery, Zhejiang Nidec 200kW electric drive system, up to 185km h, 550 kilometers to reach farther scenic spots.
As a rare long-head hybrid small truck scheme at this stage, Jiangsu Zhongji Yuze announced in the 377th batch of November issues to join hands with Guangxi Automobile Lingshi ** card, and declared the AYZ5030XLJSHEV plug-in extended-range hybrid motorhome, using the front Wuling Liuji 16L, 91 horsepower gasoline range extender module + rear 120kW electric axle drive module, **W = 3495kg, front independent, rear 7 leaf spring suspension, rear twin drive, 185 tires. The car has a total length of 5995mm, wheelbase 3650mm, C-type large forehead cabin, the right front door, rated capacity of 4-6 people, the cab retains the throughout, the front of the travel table is centered, two reverse seats are separated on both sides, and the rest of the rear horizontal bed layout scheme is adopted, optional roof ventilation windows or solar panels and other configurations, equipped with Zhejiang Guanyu 13261 degree LFP power battery, comprehensive cruising range of about 600 kilometers.
As a well-known product IP of domestic small truck rings, the 377th batch of JAC Special Automobile in November announced the declaration of the first RV of the Kaida series, namely HFC5030XLJSZ motorhome, **W=3495KG, front 3, rear 5 leaf spring suspension, rear twin tire drive, 175 185 tires, matching JAC 16L, 120 horsepower gasoline engine, up to 100km h. The car has a total length of 5560mm, wheelbase 2860mm, the use of angular C-shaped large forehead cabin, the rear side of the door open, rated capacity of 2 people, the left front for two people opposite the card seat + travel table, the left rear for the single bathroom, the right front for the lateral card seat, the effect of the reception area, the rear of the kitchen utensils, optional washing machine, the interior space is relatively spacious, suitable for two people to travel independently.
Toyota's ** Tantu entered the business travel circle, Langchen-Sprinter large forehead, CAB chassis + VAN body product analysis
Following the Xiangyang Tenglong of the CRRC series, Tianjin Waller and Jiangxi Juntian in November also introduced Toyota's ** Tantu Tundra, and the imported models in the business travel circle are becoming more and more prosperous.
Tianjin Waller declared the WLP5031XLJ motorhome, which also uses the pickup truck exchange box structure, which was popular in the early years, and this "re-mention" can also have more imagination in the new situation. The car has a total length of 5948mm, wheelbase 3700mm, with 25 tons of traction mass, front and rear coil spring suspension, folding cabin structure is basically the same as the previous Ford F150 hybrid version, rated capacity of 5 people, matching Toyota 35L, 394 horsepower gasoline engine, up to 180km h.
Jiangxi Juntian declared the JKF5030TSY camping vehicle, the roof is equipped with a telescopic tent, the two sides of the box are equipped with a relief board, and the interior is equipped with longitudinal telescopic kitchen utensils and portable toilets, with 31 ton mid-axle traction mass. With the increasing popularity of "small camping", imported base cars have also begun to try to pour in, Toyota has become the first batch of pioneers, and at present, Tacoma and Tundra have been introduced into the domestic industry support, and its **HIACE is also expected to follow.
The 377th batch of Zhenjiang Kangfei in November announced the KFT5041XLJ60 motorhome, which was restructured by using the second-class chassis of Nanqi Wolfson, but it belongs to the B-type RV with VAN structure, which is also a mainstream modification method in the light room car circle. The main features of the car are two - heightened roof cover and embedded side doors, wherein: the former is based on the original car high roof through the "hat" way to heighten as a whole, reaching 2850mm, while retaining the front sunroof to increase the lighting area; The latter is to change the side sliding door to a push-out door, and the overall composition is an outward flat effect, which is consistent with the opening method of home decoration. At the same time, the interior scheme of the car is more distinctive: two forward seats on the side of the door, the rated capacity of the whole car is 4 people, the independent bathroom and kitchenware area are located in the rear, the left side of the remaining space in the middle is the lateral card seat, the right side is the curved workbench, integrated washing machine and other equipment, and can be folded into a middle bed - it is also an interesting layout scheme. From the above, it can be seen that while the original light passenger cab is used, most of the body coverings are also used, mainly for local variants (mostly doors and windows), and there is basically no forehead shape (few retained can be regarded as B-C type transition products). Then,The CAB chassis of the light passenger car is actually two forms of expression of the same platform as the original VAN class, and the C-type light passenger car CAB class is simply classified into the category of N1 and 2 light trucks, so it is necessary to filter and identify it separately from the "light truck" data, which can better restore the importance of the light passenger car category to the business travel circle.
As a Sino-German joint venture, Luoyang Evan Heim Langchen is also trying to get closer to Europe in terms of products, and the 378th batch of December announced the declaration of CX80 series LLC5041XLJ motorhome, using Benz Sprinter 3500XD chassis car restructuring. The car length 5965mm, wheelbase 3660mm,**w = 41 ton, C-type large forehead cabin, rated capacity of 4 people, total height 3190mm, right front door, rear longitudinal bed scheme, exquisite and luxurious interior decoration scheme, with 2 tons of central axle traction quality, optional rear ladder, is a further extension of its high-end product lineage.
The 378th batch of JMC Jingma in December announced the JMV5033XLJ6 motorhome, which was restructured using the Beiqi Foton Times Pilot S1 small truck, with a length of 5950mm, a C-type large forehead cabin, a door on the right rear side, and a rated capacity of 2 4 6 people. The car uses a large area up and down open side wall, according to the introduction of this type of structure originated in Europe, equivalent to adding a terrace, improve the scalability, but there is not much load-bearing function, can not be used as a cargo platform. The interior scheme has also been adjusted accordingly: the cab has a through-port, the front of the cabin is equipped with a washbasin and a large-area dressing mirror, which is equivalent to an independent living room, and the middle of the left side is equipped with a contrarian card seat + travel table with an approved number of people, and the rear is equipped with kitchenware, refrigerator, air conditioning and a single bathroom, which is also a novel layout plan.
With 4The rise of passenger vans above 5 meters, Chongqing Chang'an also lengthened its traditional micro-surface, the 377th batch of November public declaration of CKS5021TSYPQ6B4 camping car, the use of its leap star V7 series restructuring, car length 4800mm, further enriched the optional range of "small camping". The car **w = 2240kg, equivalent to 2-cab, 2 + 3 people, the interior can be folded into a large area of bed, the rear is equipped with kitchenware, portable toilets, etc., optional roof racks, solar panels or awnings. The car matches Harbin Dongan 16L, 122 horsepower gasoline engine, up to 120km h.
Medium and large MPVs dominate the business circle, followed by VAN, and Yutong T7 benchmarks Chuanfeng Coaster business bus
The structure of 147 new commercial vehicles in 2023 will be classified as basic vehicles.
As a business base car in the traditional sense, MPV has a total of 96 new products throughout the year, accounting for nearly 2 3 percent, but except for 48 models that increased sharply in June, the rest are mostly single-digit performances, and only 10 models in November. As the largest player in the passenger car spectrum, medium and large MPVs have inherent advantages in the space-oriented business field. Throughout the year, Fujian Benz's V260 VITO series has a total of 73 models, with a share of more than 3 4, especially the V260L takes the lead with 53 models, with a huge lead; It was followed by the JMC Ford Toureo, which is a mid-size MPV with a light passenger lineage, and also has 15 new models. The rest include three models of SAIC Volkswagen Weiran, one each of GAC Toyota Sena, SAIC Roewe iMAX8, and Shangtong Wuling Journey - the key is market acceptance. It should also be noted that there are still a considerable number of first-class merchants in the auto parts market, which can use a variety of appearance kits to "rear-mount" conventional vehicles into a business version, thus threatening the car companies "front-loading prefabricated", with a regular 5-word announcement of the commercial vehicle, this alternative relationship should be highly valued and reasonably regulated by the relevant departments.
Light passenger car is also an important part of LCV business vehicles, although due to commercial attributes can not completely replace MPV, but the customer group that likes large space is still the first choice model, a total of 38 new products throughout the year, accounting for 1 4, is the European and Japanese VAN class of "basic variant car", including: SAIC Maxus V70 Nanqi Juxing a total of five, in the style of the complex base car is relatively superior, the key new products of Jiangling Transit T8, Yutong V5 have quickly completed the declaration of commercial vehicles, enough to reflect the attractiveness of the field.
The rest of the large and medium-sized buses, SUVs and pickup trucks have a total of 13 models, accounting for less than 10%, which is a "long-tail model".
The 377th batch of Jiangxi Juntian in November announced the declaration of JKF5030XSWHQ9 business vehicle, which was restructured by FAW Besturn M9, which was also the first appearance of the product in the business field. The car has a total length of 5330mm, a wheelbase of 3200mm, equipped with physical partitions, fixed desks and luxury seats, and a rated capacity of 4 6 7 people, which is equivalent to two or three rows of arrangement, with a large interior space.
Tianjin Keti December issue of the 378th batch of public declaration of JTW5034XSWG1 business car, the use of JMC Ford Toureo restructuring, the length of the car 4974mm although slightly shorter, but the width of the car 2095mm is larger than the Fu Ben system, and the new Transit V362 lineage is the same, more retained wide-body light passenger characteristics, a variety of partitions, travel tables and other business configurations can be selected, indicating that the rear suspension uses air springs, more attention to ride comfort. The car adopts similar headlights, starry front grille and bumper of Fuben, which can be equipped with an external front mark, and the appearance has a certain "confusingness".
In addition to the light passenger van class, the commercial vehicle is also the basic variant of the seat class of large and medium-sized passenger products, with a total of nine models throughout the year, including 7-meter Coaster minibus and large extra-large passenger cars. Recently, there are mainly Jinlong MC pure electric and two new Coaster products.
The 378th batch of Nanjing Alante Special Automobile in December announced the ALT5060XSW6 business vehicle, which is restructured by Yutong T7, with a length of 7148mm and a rated capacity of 17 seats, with physical partitions, connecting doors and audio-visual systems, and a variety of styles of desks and car TVs can be selected. The car matches the Ford 35L, 313 320 horsepower gasoline engine, up to 130km h, fuel consumption 16L 100km. From the perspective of similar models, the Yutong T7, which has been polished for many years, can be called the top existence of domestic business buses.
In the same month, JMC Jingma used the Fuzun series to declare the JMV5070XSW6 business car, with a length of 7145mm, three generations of appearance, and other new front walls and split tailgates. The car can choose a variety of interior styles, the rear optional independent toilet, longitudinal bed, the front optional car drinking coffee machine, the overall trend is more like a motorhome, which can be seen between the clustering characteristics of the two. The car matches JMC 30L, 152 horsepower or Jiangxi Isuzu 30L, 170 horsepower diesel engine, up to 100km h, fuel consumption 125l/100km。
"Small camping" accounts for more than eighty percent and ranks firmly as the biggest winner in 2023, and SAIC MAXUS V80 takes advantage of the situation to rejuvenate its second spring.
The structure of 189 new camping vehicles in 2023 will be classified as basic vehicles.
A total of 114 light passenger van categories, accounting for sixty percent, also surprised many people, including: 49 models of the Jiangling series, 34 models of the Maxus series and 15 models of the Nanqi series are in the top three, which is consistent with the competition pattern of European light passenger cars, and it can be seen that the camping vehicle is becoming an important variant car that is difficult to ignore in the light passenger car industry, which is equivalent to a simplified version of the motorhome. In terms of mainstream basic cars: SAIC MAXUS V80 Pro ranks first in the industry with 24 supporting models, which is quite likely to rejuvenate the second spring; JMC Fushun and New Transit V362MCA are both 23 models, equal to each other, and the above basic cars are also the top three leading faults in the industry.
There are a total of 28 pickup trucks, accounting for about 15%, all of which use double-row base cars, which shows that its specialized structure is relatively simple, and it can also be regarded as a simplified version of the variant of sojourn, among which the Jiangling Avenue series has 11 models to become the base car with the maximum number of supporting numbers, as a new product platform to be launched in 2023, the trust of car companies and the market can be seen.
The remaining 32 models of trucks and large buses are all heavy-duty vehicles, while MPVs and SUVs for passenger cars are not yet the main models of camping vehicles.
As a relatively new species, the "small camp" has made rapid progress in 2023. Because it is not confined to the technical threshold of caravan such as interior height and fixed facilities, and does not need to retain the physical partition of the cabin like a commercial vehicle, it has greater flexibility and space for development, so it has become a new star category of business travel special vehicles. Since April in the second quarter, the number of large and small camps with limited differences has begun to be significantly opened, and in the context of the strong recovery of the national cultural tourism industry, the "small camps" that are more suitable for family travel have attracted more attention. A total of 69 car companies and 155 new products were launched throughout the year; The overall proportion reached 820%, and in 2022, only 19 companies will have 26 new products in this field - it is obvious that 2023 can be called a "small camping year" for business travel.
Contrary to the sudden increase in commercial vehicles, passenger cars have not performed well in the field of "small camping", except for the slightly larger medium and large MPVs with 12 new products, only Chery River Rifte car using the CRV5020TSYF26 remodeled by the Jet Traveler has come out - it can be seen that business travel is far from the core business for passenger cars, and there is still a long way to go to attract its attention.
Afterword. The business travel industry in 2023 can be described as colorful, and great progress has been made on many fronts, not only has it achieved great success in the market, but the whole industry is also continuing to increase its research and development and innovation of new products. Medium and large MPV commercial vehicles are rapidly increasing, and there is still a market for VAN business; "Small camping" has sprung up, and diversity has become the biggest surprise in 2023. In the face of 2024, we hope that the business travel industry will maintain a good momentum and make steady progress, and can bring more intelligent, energy-saving and even electrified new works to the market.
