In order to meet the low-carbon and environmental protection requirements of engines, master core control technology, and improve the independent control capabilities of the OEM, Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle has long insisted on carrying out engine independent control system technology and commercial research and development, and has formed two major engine control system development platforms, with "independent positive development + independent iteration and optimization of core technologies", with "independent and positive development + independent iteration and optimization of core technologies", the two major engine control system development platforms have been formed, represented by diesel engines and ignition platforms represented by natural gas engines. Dongfeng Automobile Group Co., Ltd. Deputy Chief Engineer and Director of the Technology Center Tan Minqiang started the ignition ceremony of the natural gas engine of Longqing-Independent Control System. With the roar, the engine was successfully ignited and continued to operate smoothly.
Professor Cheng Xiaobei, Vice Dean of the School of Energy and Power Engineering of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, introduced in detail the difficulties in the development of hydrogen engine technology. Huazhong University of Science and Technology and Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles' cooperation development process, and put forward expectations for future development: "For the ultimate goal of ' carbon neutrality ', we must rely on subversive zero-carbon fuel technology innovation. In the tide of new energy in the field of heavy truck commercial vehicles, the successful development of this hydrogen engine can be used to develop Dongfeng Hydrogen engines provide technical route reference and provide technical reserves for Dongfeng commercial vehicles to achieve carbon neutrality. They have taken a solid step towards the new energy route of traditional internal combustion engine enterprises, and also contributed Dongfeng's strength to the strategic national policy of "dual carbon". "
Afterward, Zhou Xianpeng, assistant general manager of Dongfeng Motor Group Co., Ltd., chairman and secretary of the Party Committee of Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle Co., Ltd., presided over the ignition ceremony of the hydrogen engine of the Longqing-independent control system.With the successful ignition of the hydrogen engine of Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle Longqing-independent control system, Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle has taken a big step towards carbon neutrality.
Under the joint witness of the leaders and guests at the meeting, Deputy Director of the Center for Ecological Environment Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering He Hong and General Manager of Dongfeng Motor Group Co., Ltd. Yang Qing jointly unveiled the "Joint Laboratory of Advanced Engine Post-processing Systems". The establishment of the joint laboratory is an important opportunity for the integration of industry, academia and research and coordinated research. Both parties will give full play to their respective advantages and jointly provide the most solid guarantee for the rapid upgrading of Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle's product competitiveness and the achievement of the 30/60 dual-carbon target.
He Hong, deputy director of the Center for Ecological Environment Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said: "In the future, based on the establishment of the 'Advanced Engine Post-processing Joint Laboratory', we hope that we should not only base ourselves on the domestic application of the National VI post-processing system, but also carry out basic research, cutting-edge research, and applied research for the pollution emission control of new energy engines under the dual-carbon target. Create an international perspective and technologically advanced post-processing technology team to achieve a close combination of production, education, research and application, and realize the national Large-scale and commercial application of production."
As Jiang Xuefeng, deputy chief engineer of Dongfeng Automobile Group Co., Ltd., said: "Having established a good cooperative relationship with Academician He Hong's team of the Ecological Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, we jointly carried out in-depth cooperation on diesel engine emission control technology and engine post-treatment technology, and achieved fruitful results. The joint laboratory focuses on advanced post-treatment system catalyst technology, focusing on National VI diesel engine, gas engine, ammonia/hydrogen engine post-treatment and other contents, and jointly carry out forward-looking technological innovation, key technology research, and outstanding engineering The establishment of the joint laboratory is an important opportunity for the integration of industry, academia and research and collaborative research. It also reflects the special contributions made by Dongfeng as a central enterprise in promoting the "dual carbon" strategy. "
To promote the automobile industry to achieve the dual carbon goal as soon as possible, Chen Weicheng, assistant director of the Motor Vehicle Pollution Emission Monitoring Center of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, said: "In the process of continuous advancement of ecological civilization construction, higher requirements have been put forward for innovative environmental governance and the technology, methods and paths for responding to climate change. It is urgent to rely on scientific and technological innovation to solve the integrated plan for reducing pollution and reducing carbon. The problems of integrated deployment, promotion and assessment. Dongfeng and the joint laboratory of the Ecological Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have promoted science and technology first, created innovations in synergistically and efficiently reducing pollution and carbon reduction, accelerated the research and development, integration and demonstration of green and low-carbon technologies, and also strengthened the independent research and development of related technologies. It will surely play a demonstration and scientific and technological support role in the construction of ecological civilization." ”
On June 17, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and seven other departments issued the "Implementation Plan for Synergistically and Efficiency Reduction of Pollution and Carbon Reduction", proposing to accelerate the development of new energy vehicles and explore the demonstration application and commercial operation of medium and heavy-duty electric and fuel cell trucks. In the process of continuous advancement of ecological civilization construction, Dongfeng insists on developing green and low-carbon technologies such as electric, hybrid, and hydrogen, and contributes Dongfeng's strength to effectively control emissions, promote the industry's green and low-carbon development, and achieve carbon peak and carbon neutrality. "
Faced with the upgrading and transformation of the automobile industry and the "dual carbon" development goals proposed by the country, Dongfeng Company's "14th Five-Year Plan" development plan officially clearly defines the company as an "excellent technology enterprise that provides users with high-quality automotive products and services." "Longqing" is a green and low-carbon power brand focused on Dongfeng Company and Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles. For different application scenarios, match the most suitable products and help users create higher operating value is the goal of Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles. In the future, Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles will continue to be guided by the national "dual carbon" strategic goal, continuously strengthen the system capabilities of independent innovation and integrated development of industry, academia and research, continuously improve the competitiveness of Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles' products, bring higher operating value to customers, and promote the sustainable development of society and the environment.
