2004 China's diesel power in the first year


If China, like France and Italy, uses half of its passenger cars with diesel power, China will become the world's largest diesel vehicle market, with huge potential. In the domestic auto market, with the improvement of diesel quality and the further improvement of the engine, the use of diesel vehicles has become increasingly demanding. Some people even predict that 2004 will be the first year of China’s diesel vehicles and diesel vehicles have been out of the market. Will begin to enter the era of gold rush.


The news from Huatai Automobile Company stated that Traka 2.5L was currently purchased by the UN peacekeeping force and became a command vehicle. Judging from the purchase of Huatai diesel vehicles by peacekeeping forces, we have found that there have been a lot of news about diesel vehicles in the past year. FAW-Volkswagen has introduced Jetta diesel vehicles. The Malaysian rainforest cross-country vehicle equipped with a land-based diesel vehicle has also experienced more than ever before. With outstanding performance, JAC Refine has introduced a new type of Ruifeng diesel car, and plans to use diesel vehicles as the starting point in 2004 to pull out a series. In the passenger car market, diesel cars that have not been accepted have quietly accumulated their own energy.


Another news that deserves our attention is the recent report of the "European Autograph" that for the first time in 2003, diesel cars accounted for 52.4% of the Italian car sales record. Before that, in France, Spain, Austria, Belgium and Luxembourg, the sales of diesel vehicles have already exceeded gasoline vehicles. A new trend is that in the past four years, the share of diesel vehicles in sales in western Europe has increased at an annual rate of 4 percentage points, from 24.8% in 1998 to 40.3% in 2002. .


In the domestic auto market, with the improvement of diesel quality and the further improvement of the engine, the use of diesel vehicles has become increasingly demanding. Some people even predict that 2004 will be the first year of China’s diesel vehicles and diesel vehicles have been out of the market. Will begin to enter the era of gold rush.


For diesel engine name


When people talk about diesel engines, people think of black smoke, odors, and noisy noise. The use of diesel engine tractors, tanks, ships, etc., gives a clunky impression, which seems difficult to achieve. Since 1998, many cities in China have successively issued local regulations or adopted legislation that prohibits diesel vehicles from entering the city or driving in the urban areas and does not grant licenses to diesel vehicles. One of the reasons is that "diesel cars are heavily polluted."


This "one size fits all" approach is obviously lacking in impartiality and it is also unrealistic. According to Cui Hong, secretary general of the China Internal Combustion Engine Industry Association, developed countries in the automotive industry have developed vehicles with a fuel consumption of only 3 liters per 100 kilometers, and their power is no exception for diesel engines. The modern level of diesel vehicles has long been not the image of rough, noise, smoky, smoky "fish fighting fish", and its performance is no different from gasoline cars. In recent years, the domestic diesel engine industry has made progress in technological progress. It is not a problem that the products meet the Euro I emission requirements, and the backbone enterprises have been able to supply batches of products that meet Euro II emission requirements. Under such circumstances, if the diesel vehicles that meet the emission regulations continue to be rejected “outside the city,” it is obviously unreasonable.


Luo Yi, deputy director of the Science and Technology Standards Division of the State Environmental Protection Administration, said that compared with gasoline engines, diesel engines have features such as high efficiency, low fuel consumption, long life, and reliable use. In the 1930s, all countries in the world began to use diesel engines for heavy vehicles, and in the 50's they began to be used in light vehicles. By the 1990s, diesel engines had achieved great development and were applied to the power of cars. Diesel vehicles are one-third more fuel efficient than gasoline vehicles and emit relatively fewer pollutants. At present, diesel cars account for 40% of the European consumer car market. Luo Yi believes that: "The cause of the noise and emission of black smoke in China's diesel vehicles is backward technology. At present, China's diesel vehicle technology is basically still the technology of the 1970s. Since the 1980s, the development of diesel engine technology in the world has been very Rapidly and in line with environmental protection requirements has long been a problem."


The German Volkswagen, which has been eager to research and develop diesel engines, has always wanted to bring their favorite diesel engines to China, the launch of Jetta SDI, and the promotion activities were held in Beijing. The target is the so-called “urban ban”. The relevant person in charge of Volkswagen Automotive Co., Ltd. said: "While respecting safety, environmental protection, and energy conservation, diesel vehicles have considerable advantages. During the entire service life, the total exhaust emissions of diesel engines are 45% lower than that of gasoline engines. ”


Under such a trend, in March 2003, the State Environmental Protection Administration issued the "Technical Policy for Prevention and Control of Diesel Vehicle Emissions Pollution", which clearly states: "With the development of diesel vehicles and automotive diesel engines, advanced technologies and pollutant emissions The production and use of low-volume engine products should not adopt discriminatory policies.” With the encouragement of this policy, in 2003, diesel cars represented by Traka, Jetta, and Ruifeng began to surface.


Open the first year of the diesel engine


With the rapid increase in the production and sales volume of automobiles in the domestic market and the increasing use of fuel, China is currently the world's largest oil importer. From the perspective of saving energy, the demand for diesel vehicles will increase before there is no other alternative energy source. Second, with the acceleration of our industrial civilization, environmental protection has become an important barrier that threatens the sustainable development of society. New diesel engines with smaller exhaust emissions are more advantageous in this regard. Once again, China's road conditions are relatively complex, with many hills and mountains. Diesel engines with high torque output can enhance the passing of cars.


With the above advantages, the diesel car market has become loose. The Landwind diesel car series has already highlighted its advantages in off-road races. In the second half of 2003, after the small batches of Ruifeng diesel vehicles were put on the market, a large number of orders were attracted, and it was decided that Jianghuai plans to pull the diesel cars out of a series in 2004. Determination. Huatai's Traka is used by peacekeeping forces, and it is precisely because Traka diesel power can withstand the harsh natural conditions in the Middle East and Africa.


In 2004, with the increasing of the automobile sports, the market demand for diesel vehicles will soon appear. The largest market and the most banned major cities currently have certain policy support for the use of diesel vehicles. What is lacking now is the supply of good models and good oil products. And these may be resolved in 2004. China National Internal Combustion Engine Industry Association Secretary-General Cui Hong said that the rise of diesel engines in China will not be very old.
