[ Truck Home Original] In 2022, the world will vigorously enter a low-carbon and efficient development model, and green development has become a global consensus. Especially for commercial vehicles, major car companies are stepping into the National VI era. In terms of future trends, green, efficient, and intelligent road transportation equipment has become a new force in reshaping the future automobile industry pattern and accelerating logistics flow.

In 2020, on the eve of the full start of the National VI era, the modern new-generation Chuanghu heavy-duty truck, upgraded with a new look, stronger strength, and stronger performance, completed its first launch in the Chinese market. Immediately afterwards, at the China International Import Expo, Hyundai demonstrated its hydrogen fuel cell XCIENT Fuel Cell for heavy trucks for the first time on the stage of the "2020 China International Import Expo", demonstrating its expertise in the field of hydrogen fuel cell commercial vehicles. Leading technology level.

So, the new generation Chuanghu heavy-duty truck is the flagship product of modern commercial vehicles that has opened up and deeply penetrated the Chinese market. In the context of the National VI era, what kind of momentum is behind this vehicle series?

hard-core power is fully adapted to the National VI era

In 2022, China's commercial vehicle market will fully enter the National VI era, and the Red Sea market is surging with undercurrents. For most car companies, the National VI era is a battle for technology and more for services. . The

engine plays an important role in National VI models. It is the key to establishing technical barriers and ensuring efficient and stable operation of the vehicle. Regarding the debate between the six countries, modern people are more calm and calm. Why is this? In fact, South Korea's Hyundai has already started the research and development and testing of Euro VI engines in the European market, and started the development and mass production of Euro VI trucks as early as 2017. In other words, its new generation of POWERTEC high-horsepower engines have already gone through "simulation tests" in the European market, and its various test data accumulated in foreign markets in the early stage have provided better solutions for dealing with the more stringent National VI b emission standards in the Chinese market. innate advantages.

Take the POWERTEC National VI engine equipped on the new generation of Chuanghu tractors as an example. It has a displacement of 13 liters, a maximum output power of 397kw (540 horsepower), and a maximum output torque of 2,500 Nm. Moreover, the engine's high torque output range is wider, and its high-pressure common rail fuel injection pressure has been increased to 2700Bar.

In addition, with the support of multiple technologies such as the CCV exhaust gas circulation system, high-capacity turbocharger and open fan installed in the engine, the overall fuel consumption of the engine has been improved by about 10% while ensuring surging power. .

From the picture above, we can see that there is an exhaust gas circulation system designed on the outside of the engine, in which the exhaust gas containing combustible gases comes out through the valve cover. In the first stage, it first needs to go through the first-level cyclone separator to separate the engine oil and the mixed gas. The separated oil particles will flow back to the engine oil pan .

Then, these mixed gases need to pass through the CCV filter on the side of the engine for secondary separation of oil particles and gas. The separated oil particles will also flow back to the oil pan , and the remaining gas will flow back into the engine. Secondary combustion. Such a design will bring varying degrees of improvements in fuel economy and pollution emissions.

In terms of transmission system, at this stage, the China VI Chuanghu heavy-duty truck mainly promotes the ZF Transson 12-speed AMT transmission, with a transmission efficiency as high as 99.7%. The transmission TCU and other electrical circuit modules adopt integrated designs, resulting in higher overall reliability. . In addition, the transmission also includes hill start assist function, off-road function and low-resistance driving function, which can create more efficient and safer operating conditions for the vehicle.

Of course, the ZF original hydraulic retarder is also on the optional list of its new car. On long downhill sections, the hydraulic retarder can achieve wear-free braking, providing the vehicle with a higher and safer downhill slope. speed.

In terms of electrical circuit components of the vehicle, the new generation of Chuanghu uses first-class products such as German KNORR brake valves and special PARKER air pipes to provide a strong guarantee for the durability and reliability of braking performance.

Moreover, it is reported that its comprehensive map cruise system (MBCC) with higher technological content and smarter driving will be available to everyone soon. Compared with the ACC adaptive cruise function, its map cruise function can automatically control engine gear, throttle opening and other functions based on GPS signals, map information and other data to ensure better fuel efficiency. Economy.

Humanistic design and warm mobile cockpit

For a truck, improving fuel economy is a complex and comprehensive system engineering. In addition to efficient power chain and powerful chassis matching, the wind resistance coefficient will also have a negative impact on fuel consumption. direct impact. For this reason, in addition to being more in line with the needs of the younger generation of users at this stage, the new generation Chuanghu's styling design has also undergone a lot of optimization in terms of wind resistance coefficient, and the windshield tilt is close to 14 degrees. Together with the adjustable air deflector on the top, the wind resistance coefficient is greatly reduced while driving.

Why can the new generation of Chuanghu quickly adapt to the domestic market? One of its cores is the cab design. The new generation Chuanghu cab adopts a pure flat floor design. Since the launch of the first model, the cab has directly adopted the flat floor series cab with the largest space utilization, ensuring that the driving experience is guaranteed. More space and more comfort. The various covering parts in the cab are made of softer materials, which are softer to the touch and more textured overall.

And the overall interior atmosphere is exactly the same as that of modern passenger cars. While taking into account multiple functions, it also integrates the concept of "home" into the design of the entire vehicle. In terms of materials and atmosphere creation, it is indeed It has created a rare style in the industry.

In terms of passive safety configuration, in addition to the application of more than 50% high-tensile steel imported from South Korea, the entire vehicle has even worked hard on the steering wheel, adopting a collapse energy-absorbing structure. In short, in the event of a collision, the steering wheel will directly collapse and deform, which can maximize the living space of the cab and ensure the safety of the drivers and passengers.

In terms of configuration, one-click start, pocket AMT, large central control screen, and air bag suspended cab are all available. In addition, car refrigerators, parking air conditioners and parking lot can also be selected according to daily operation scenarios. With configurations such as car heaters, it can be said that the comfort configuration is almost complete.

In addition, Hyundai has added OFF-Road off-road mode and Rocking Free low-resistance driving function based on its latest ZF transmission. The OFF-Road off-road mode is used for special operations when the vehicle passes through. Under road conditions, the engine torque output can be improved and the engine shifting speed can be adjusted to help the vehicle get out of trouble quickly with the cooperation of the drive anti-skid system.

Rocking Free low-resistance driving function is mainly suitable for when the vehicle passes through low-friction roads such as ice, snow, slippery roads, and sand. The transmission can control the appropriate vehicle speed and gear according to various sensors of the vehicle to make the vehicle safe. , Slowly pass through such complex road conditions.

Among them, the new generation of Chuanghu heavy-duty trucks is independently designed with a "D-IDLE" idling mode . After this function is turned on, the vehicle can maintain an average speed in a lower speed mode. This function is very suitable for situations where low-speed and even-speed driving is required. For example, in the case of a traffic jam, after turning on this function, the foot can be completely removed from the accelerator pedal, and the vehicle can also drive at a constant speed of about 10km/h, which is very Suitable for cardholders’ daily operating conditions.
