A pair of good brothers at work, two truck drivers who work hard for life, a long road for coal transportation, two mother and child trucks that can be combined into one. The journey is thousands of miles long, the wind and rain are endless, and food and accommodation are on the car, regardless of night and day, sweat and hardships are all the way, and you can save money and run transportation... This is a true portrayal of the "Li Geng Combination" of the Ximei East Transport Expressway Transportation Line China National Heavy Truck Truck Howo NX mother and child car "Li Geng Combination".

In fact, the "Li Geng combination" is just two unknown people in the thousands of Haowo NX mother-child truck transportation army. The two real names are: Li Zengliang and Geng Baoping, from Pingding County, Yangquan City, Shanxi Province, and work in a coal transportation fleet in Yuanshi County, Shijiazhuang. The two are kind-hearted and loyal. Due to their similar personalities, since the first day of entering the team, they voluntarily drove a group of mother-child cars. They are the golden combinations in the team that cooperated the most tacitly and had the longest time to partner. Taking advantage of the opportunity of transporting and following the cart not long ago, the author met these two card friends.
Before departure, supplying the child cart
Before departure, supplying the mother cart
Coal transportation is a chore. There are no holidays, no nights and daytimes. The previous group returns to the next group, similar to the relay race . Even if I sleep soundly in the middle of the night, I have to get up immediately to pack up when I need to leave the car. The first step to taking over the vehicle is routine inspection. Master Li dared not slacken in this regard. He said: "This batch of Howo NX mother and child vehicles were customized by the company at the beginning of the year. They are all emitted by National VI. The quality is excellent. Our fleet's operating model is to stop people and not stop. The vehicle has not stopped since it was picked up. It has been almost a year since it was operated and has no problems. Every time I take over the vehicle, I will do routine inspections, refuel, add urea , and then I will be at ease on the road. sports car ..."
Depart late at night
When we were refueling and adding urea, Master Li explained the general process of the trip: "Our destination for loading coal is Yaowa, Baode County, Shanxi Province. The distance is more than 600 kilometers. It is almost the early morning of tomorrow. We have to pick up Geng Baoping in Pingding County, Shanxi Province." After everything was ready, Master Li drove the Howo NX mother carriage with a mother and son started his journey.
Night view along the expressway
Pingtung station
The night view along the expressway is very beautiful, especially the mountain tunnel, the colorful lights are magnificent! If you hadn't participated in this car follow-up, it would be rare to see the beautiful night view of the Shanxi Expressway with mountains. Soon after, the car arrived at , Pingding County , and Geng Baoping, who was waiting at the highway entrance, got on the bus and replaced Li Zengliang who was driving for nearly 200 kilometers. Geng Baoping is a few years younger than Li Zengliang and is a talkative person. When talking about the driving experience of Howo NX mother-in-law car, he praised it: "I am very satisfied with the overall performance of Howo NX mother-in-law car, especially in terms of driving comfort. We often run night cars. If the car is uncomfortable for a long time, it is easy to get stuck in and . The Howo NX mother-in-law car uses a four-point suspended cab and airbag shock-absorbing seats, which are very comfortable to drive. The seat has ventilation and heating function, and its wrapping support is not very good. There are also many adjustment functions such as damping adjustment, one-button charging and recharge, lumbar support, and back support, which can greatly alleviate long-distance driving fatigue and are of great benefit to driving safety."
Geng Baoping likes the Howo NX mother car
" Another thing to praise is the power configuration of the Howo NX mother car. The vehicle is equipped with a Weichai 430 horsepower engine, with a maximum torque of 2000N.m. It is just right to deal with the standard load coal transportation with a total weight of 49 tons of cargo. There is no waste of excess power, nor is it difficult to speed up the hill climb. This engine adopts a double inlet and double outgoing four-valve design. It is uniquely powerful and has never been afraid of climbing. Its power is significantly better than other models of the same horsepower that I have driven before.In addition, the in-cylinder braking technology of this engine is also great. There are many long downhill sections of highways in Shanxi. It is very dangerous if the vehicle does not have good auxiliary braking functions. The in-cylinder brakes equipped with Weichai 430 horsepower engine are just in handy. They can be turned on in advance when driving for a long downhill, without frequent brakes or long-term water spraying, and can achieve safe downhill. "
Arrived at the Yaowa coal loading point in Baode County
Backed in the seat and got off the car
At around 6 a.m. the next day, the vehicle arrived at the Yaowa coal loading site in Baode County. It was already dawn and there was no time to rest. Master Li and Master Geng began to prepare for the son-car get off the car. First, the mother-car reversing the mother-car reversing into the seat, then open the doors of all the cargo boxes, and pull out the columns on both sides of the cargo boxes one by one to prevent scratches during the backing process. After the preparations were ready, the son-car began to slowly reversing...

Large mechanical loading equipment loading coal is very fast. In less than half an hour, the two cars were loaded and set off on the return journey. The return journey took the sub-car driven by Master Li. Perhaps it was because he had experienced too much monotony and loneliness. Master Li, who seemed not good at talking, opened up all the way, from life to work, from the performance of the Howo mother-child truck, to the current situation of the coal transportation industry... The topic is getting wider and wider. He said: "I am middle-aged and are the pillars of the family. The whole family is counting on themselves, and sometimes I feel very stressed. However, since I drove the mother-child cart this year, my income has gradually increased, and my family's economic situation is improving step by step..."
Li Zengliang liked Haowo NX mother-child cart
" To be honest, there are many advantages in the transportation form of mother-child carts, which eliminates the waste of resources from single bicycles before. Two cars load at the same time and make money. When the empty car runs, the mother car can save half of the toll and gas money. At the same time, it can greatly reduce the wear and tear of the sub-car and increase the working life of the sub-car. The "three-salary" coal transportation strategy truly realizes the cost reduction and efficiency improvement that we often talk about. Especially the coal transportation line we ran, from Xinzhou, Shanxi to Liaocheng, Shandong, with a single trip distance of nearly 700 kilometers. If we return to deliver goods, it is difficult to deliver the goods in a short time. The mother-child carts are reunited in time and will carry out the next trip, which not only improves the vehicle attendance rate, but also increases operating income with real money. "Master Li said this.
Howo NX mother cart
In the entire mother cart transportation process and the transportation line of the West Coal East transport, we have seen too many mother carts like the "Li Geng Combination". I have heard such a voice: the transportation form of mother carts is an inverse of the industry. Is it true? From the surface, the rise of mother carts seems to be a result of The impact of various adverse factors such as the epidemic harassment, rising oil prices, and sluggish freight costs. However, from an objective standpoint, we believe that market demand will not lie, and the feedback from the card friends is the most down-to-earth. Isn’t the transportation form of mother-child trucks an upgrade and innovation of an industry? In the future, with the continuous recovery and heating of the coal and sand and gravel transportation market, I believe that China National Heavy Truck Howo NX mother-child trucks and mother-child trucks that can be earned by the capital will surely be in full swing, becoming a winning weapon for card friends to reduce costs and increase efficiency, and create wealth and make money.
