All-aluminum semi-trailers are widely used in developed countries because they can greatly improve transportation efficiency, extend vehicle service life, and have high vehicle price. At present, relevant stations in my country are also working hard to formulate relevant plans to promote all-aluminum trailers.
Promoting all-aluminum trailers can accelerate the development of lightweight commercial vehicles in my country, shorten the gap with foreign countries, and effectively guide market demand to meet the requirements of energy conservation and emission reduction. At present, all-aluminum trailers in my country are relatively mature in terms of materials, processes, and technologies, and have a certain application basis. There are three major characteristics:
1. Lightweight
If a product only gains attention due to its first release, the attention may not last long. The outstanding advantage of all-aluminum alloy semi-trailers is that the weight of the whole vehicle is 3.5 tons lighter than that of all-steel semi-trailers. In this way, 3.5 tons more cargo can be transported in each operation than all-steel structure semi-trailers. This is very attractive to enterprises or individuals.
2. Save fuel consumption
Data show that for every 1KG reduction in vehicle weight, 0.7KG of gasoline can be saved for 10,000 kilometers of operation. In other words, aluminum alloy semi-trailers consume much less fuel when transporting the same weight of goods. In today's oil price rise period, fuel-efficient models will always be favored by users.
3. Long service life
The price of aluminum alloy semi-trailers is more than 200,000 yuan, and the expensive price is also a practical problem considered by many users. The investment cost of all-aluminum alloy semi-trailers is 40% higher than that of steel trailers, but the excellent and lightweight advantages of aluminum alloy semi-trailers greatly shorten their payback period. The service life of all-aluminum alloy tanks can reach 10 years, and 1.5 million to 1.8 million yuan can be generated in 10 years. Moreover, after 10 years, aluminum alloys can be fully recycled and reused, which is also incomparable to steel tank trucks.
The performance and quality of new products are also topics that users are very concerned about during the promotion process. All-aluminum alloy semi-trailers have broken through the era when steel structure tank trucks are dominant in the current domestic truck market. All-aluminum alloy semi-trailers have been running in the test field for about a year and a half, without any problems, and running normally. Whether the all-aluminum alloy semi-trailer can truly enter the truck market currently dominated by steel structure tank trucks, and whether it can successfully open a new era, the all-aluminum alloy semi-trailer will be truly tested in the market, so let us wait and see.
