The "Natural Gas Bus Application and Development Seminar" was held in Yinchuan, Ningxia, last month. The seminar was organized by the Urban Vehicles Expert Committee of the Science and Technology Committee of the Ministry of Construction, and organized by Yinchuan Public Transport Company and Shanghai Diesel Engine Co., Ltd.
The theme of the conference was "Energy Saving, Emission Reduction, and Technology Application". It aims to promote the widespread application of natural gas cleaning technology and equipment in urban public transportation. Li Shihao, director of the Urban Vehicles Expert Committee of the Ministry of Construction, said in a speech at the conference: “The development of natural gas vehicles will help improve China’s energy structure for vehicles and achieve the purpose of national energy conservation, emission reduction and consumption reduction.â€
It is reported that Yinchuan City has recently added more than 180 Huanghai-brand compressed natural gas powered city buses to improve the public transportation facilities in Yinchuan City and has performed well. Shangchai was the trusted supplier of natural gas power for these buses, and its features such as dynamics, economy, cleanliness and environmental protection were highly praised by representatives from all over the world.
It is understood that Shangchai started natural gas engine project in 1998. In 2005, Shangchai Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) engine won the "BAAV Best Engine of the Year" award from the World Bus Association. In 2007, Shanghai Diesel Engine Co., Ltd. took the lead to pass the Euro IV emission level certification.
The high level and high starting point are the principle of Shanghai Diesel's development of natural gas engines. Shanggan general manager Chen Ganjin said at the meeting. From diesel/CNG dual-fuel engines that only meet Euro I emission standards, to single-jet single-fuel single-fuel CNG engines that meet Euro II emission standards, and to single-jet CNG engines that meet Euro III standards, This year, the Euro IV natural gas engine was introduced. The development of Shanghai Diesel Engine has been in the past 10 years. It has undergone several generations of product upgrades and achieved full electronic control and full-pressurization intercooling. Based on the Shangchai 6C engine, the development of six-cylinder and four-cylinder natural gas engine series has already enabled the diesel engine's power to cover 160- to 280-horsepower engines, and the only company capable of achieving 280 horsepower in the country is Shangchai, which has so far received acceptance. More than 6,000 orders. In the actual operation of bus companies such as Jinlong, Yutong, Huanghai and Shenwo, as well as public transport companies such as Yinchuan, Urumqi, Shanghai Volkswagen, and Chengdu, this engine is comparable to imported engines of the same type and is indispensable. Bo Chung, universally recognized by all parties.
Relevant information shows that Shangchai's natural gas engines are not only used for supporting large and medium-sized bus and intercity buses, but also sell heavy trucks such as Shaanxi Heavy Duty Truck and Chongqing Hongyan. Thanks to its technical strength and cost-effectiveness, Shangchao's tentacles have now penetrated into overseas markets and have been exported to Thailand, Malaysia, and other Southeast Asian countries in batches. They are actively exploring the global market with an international mindset and opening new horizons.
