National emission standards for four next year started promoting natural gas truck

In four emission deadline approaching &ldquo ” hot gas; heavy truck market
　　
Natural gas sales year-on-year due to lower oil prices, fuel oil and gas spread narrowed downward trend is expected due to the new favorable policies to improve. From January 1, 2015 onwards, the country has repeatedly delayed four emission standards will be fully activated.
　　
“ four ‘ time ’ the arrival of direct stimulation of the natural gas market in the second half of the heavy truck. &rdquo and Consulting Group Senior Consultant Zhang Haibin told the first financial daily reporters. The first half of this year, sales of domestic natural gas truck is only about 12 thousand, but the amount of domestic heavy truck, comprehensive China before the sales data of 10 mainstream heavy truck production enterprises shows that the first 10 months of this year, the 10 companies of the natural gas heavy truck sales reached 24727 units, which means that only 4 months the second half of the time, the natural gas heavy truck sales will be more than the first half of the year.
　　
So, in the view of Zhang Haibin, mainly due to bring in the process to upgrade the country three four increase in the cost of natural gas and fuel reduction caused by heavy truck car price. Before this, according to the reporter, compared with the same configuration of natural gas and heavy diesel vehicles, about 50 thousand yuan more expensive, with the emission standard upgrade, the price gradually reduced to 20 thousand ~3 million yuan. In addition, due to the current domestic heavy truck in China from three to four in the technical scheme, usually used by using selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology for treatment of nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gas by using urea solution, in the process of using, urea usage for fuel consumption per amount of 3%~5%. 100L fuel, need to consume 3~5L car with urea. Currently on the market with the average price of urea is about 6.5~8 yuan /L. According to this price, a heavy truck dealers in Shanghai to reporters calculations, the owners of mileage per year is calculated as 200 thousand kilometers, because with urea increased costs will reach 20 thousand yuan.
　　
“ thus, the advantages of the use of natural gas vehicles will be reflected, on the one hand, although the price of natural gas vehicles are still too expensive diesel vehicles, but the price difference can be effectively used to fill the cost of late. On the other hand, gas filling urea more convenient. ” these dealers believe that. According to his calculations, natural gas trucks in use, fuel costs relative to diesel, to about 30% cheaper.
　　
In recent years, although the overall downturn in the domestic heavy truck market demand, but the natural gas truck this market has shown vigorous development momentum. Statistical data show that in 2011, domestic natural gas heavy truck sales is only about 5000, and in 2012 reached 12 thousand, 2013 is close to 30 thousand, in view of this, the mainstream heavy truck manufacturers including Shaanqi, Chinese CNHTC etc have started to adjust the production structure, natural gas field tilt. But in the first half of this year, the market is not as vigorous as imagined, but declined.
　　
Natural gas heavy truck sales fell on the one hand due to the heavy truck market demand is weak, but the more important question is to reduce the price of natural gas and diesel. An insider's Chinese told reporters, when the car with gas prices for fuel prices around 75% when the cost of the two equal, this means that only when the spread between the two is more than 25%, consumers will choose the gas vehicle. Since the second half of last year, with natural gas prices, the country also have floating car with gas prices rises from 0.5 yuan ~0.8 yuan / cubic meters, at the same time, the price of diesel has continued to decline, from 7.5 yuan /L highs last year when dropped to 6.6 yuan /L. From the data point of view, although the difference between natural gas and diesel is still greater than 25%, but compared with the previous advantage has gradually decreased.
　　
“ therefore, in a sense, is to upgrade the &lsquo &rsquo emissions; natural gas; a heavy truck. ” the person concerned that the field of heavy truck. In his opinion, the last two months of the implementation of the new deal, the natural gas truck will also maintain sustained growth.
　　
Although natural gas trucks with huge growth potential, but subject to various factors, its sales and use will still have a certain regional. An insider's Chinese said: “ although including long haul tractors and cars are beginning to choose middle transfer natural gas truck, but is still concentrated in the large company level, a team is not the natural gas vehicles, fuel vehicles or more, in addition, it will have a gas supply system alone, in order to ensure the operation. ”
