Core Technology Supports Strong "Genesis" Skills

The "Genesis" truck cooperation project is in line with the United States' famous "Super Truck" project. In 2010, the U.S. Department of Energy announced an investment of 284 million U.S. dollars to study advanced technologies to improve the fuel economy/transportation efficiency of heavy-duty trucks in the United States. This project is called super trucks. Through the selection of solutions from different companies, the U.S. Department of Energy eventually selected four companies to participate in super trucks, namely Cummins, North American Daimler, Navistar, and Volvo.

In early 2014, the Cummins Super Truck first achieved the goal of 75% improvement in vehicle transportation efficiency under actual road conditions. On February 18, 2014, when U.S. President Barack Obama announced the next phase of the heavy fuel truck fuel efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions regulatory timetable, the super truck appeared at the venue, signifying that Cummins won the Super Truck project.

Cummins’ leadership in core technology is beyond doubt. In the American Super Truck Project, Cummins uses its advantages in intake and exhaust control and exhaust gas recirculation, exhaust after-treatment systems, Electronic Control, waste heat recovery technology, fuel system, advanced combustion, etc., to achieve significant engine thermal efficiency and fuel economy. Increased emissions and reduced emissions. Among them, in terms of fuel consumption, the Super Truck Project has also verified that the fuel consumption has been reduced by 30% in the laboratory and on the road at the same time far superior to the peers.

Reducing fuel consumption and improving efficiency are also the goals pursued by Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle "Genesis" trucks. The core issue is how to properly match the engine with the vehicle. This is where Dongfeng Cummins has its advantages. In the American Super Truck Project, Cummins has accumulated a great deal of experience and possesses core technologies. These experiences can be directly imported into Dongfeng Cummins, allowing them to stand on the shoulders of the giants to see farther and more steadily, and provide the Chinese engine industry with While having a feasible direction of development, it also laid the foundation for the development of Dongfeng Cummins's follow-up products. By learning from the achievements and experience gained by American Super Trucks, Dongfeng Cummins can more effectively achieve technological upgrading of all vehicle products. Apart from lowering research and development costs and increasing research and development speed, it can also drive technology upgrading of the entire engine and related components.
