According to statistics released by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, in 2013, a total of 774,000 heavy trucks were sold in China, of which dump trucks sold about 258,000 vehicles. Sales volume and year-on-year growth were the second-largest heavy-duty market segment in the past year. Dump trucks play an important role in the heavy truck market. Any heavy truck manufacturer cannot ignore the role played by dump trucks in satisfying users' needs and ensuring that they achieve their annual production and sales targets.
It is understood that according to different operating conditions, China's Dump Truck market is divided into three major blocks, namely, short-to-medium-highway transport, coal mine pit transportation and urban waste transportation. If dump trucks continue to maintain growth this year, companies should be able to see which market segments have the greatest growth potential. A number of heavy truck company marketing executives told the author that the city slag truck will become the main battlefield of the dump truck this year.
Coal mine collapse in demand
dump truck dump truck belonging to engineering vehicles, mainly to meet the coal, mining transportation needs. This dump truck is designed for working conditions such as mines, water conservancy and hydropower projects, and has high requirements for gradeability, vehicle lateral stability, reliability and safety. From 2009 to 2011, the sales of mining dump trucks increased significantly. However, in recent years, the country’s efforts to rectify small coal mines and crack down on illegal mines have continued to increase, and a large number of coal and mining companies that do not meet the requirements have been shut down, stopped, and transferred. As a direct result, demand for dump trucks has shrunk dramatically.
As the cost of domestic transportation continues to increase, causing coal unloading prices to skyrocket, many users have begun to switch to importing relatively short-haul, moderately priced imports of coal to save on procurement costs. The domestic coal market has been further compressed, which has affected the market demand for mining dump trucks. Fukuda Daimler, China National Heavy Duty Truck sales personnel believe that this year's Mining Dump Truck sales will be significantly reduced.
Highway dump truck is limited room for growth
highway dump truck is usually applied to haul in about 100 kilometers short of luck, mainly for long container products. Due to the large amount of load required, such dump trucks are mostly 8×4 models.
Some users continue to increase the dump truck containers in order to increase the carrying capacity. However, as the overloading of various provinces and municipalities continues to increase, and the range of toll-by-weight charges continues to increase, overloaded transport of dump trucks is restricted, and some of the transport capacity undertaken by road dump trucks is replaced by tractors with stronger carrying capacity. Not obvious. Zhang Xiaodong, general manager of sales of China National Heavy Duty Truck Group, believes that dump truck sales this year are expected to maintain the level of last year, no growth trend. In the coming years, the space for growth of road dump trucks will remain limited.
Muck truck market with a bright future
In recent years, China's large and medium urban infrastructure construction, urban real estate projects increase, urbanization continues to accelerate, provide a huge market space for the city muck truck . Zhang Xiaodong believes that the momentum of urban construction in China can be maintained for at least 10 years. Therefore, the demand for slag trucks in urban construction projects in the next 10 years will continue to grow, and will become the only market segment in the dump truck market that will generate incremental revenue.
Judging from the efforts of local governments to rectify urban dregs, a new round of replacement climax is coming. In addition, the nationwide elimination of yellow-labeled vehicles has caused a large number of old slag trucks to be scrapped. A wave of haze came and reminded the relevant government departments to rectify the dregs without delay. Some market analysts have calculated that the demand brought by local governments to rectify dregs vehicles this year will exceed 100,000 vehicles, accounting for about half of the total production and sales of dump trucks in the year! This is a "big cake" that cannot be ignored by any company.
