The mass production of "SMARTSHIFT-AMT" transmissions adds a powerful force to Sinotruk's desire to play a more important role in the Chinese heavy truck industry's leap forward.

On December 12th, 2008, at the CNHTC Transmission Production Line in Zhangqiu, Jinan, Shandong Province, Wang Baozhong was directing two workers to carefully remove a SMARTSHIFT-AMT transmission (Intelligently Packed) that had just been packaged off the forklift with a forklift. Shift from manual transmission). As the head of the technical department, Wang must make final preparations for the mass production of China National Heavy Duty Truck AMT transmission one week later.
Wang Baozhong and his co-workers have been preparing for this moment for several months. On December 19th, in this AMT production line with a flexible capacity of 30,000 units, China will produce the first mass production and assembly of the entire market. The AMT transmission of the car.
Now, in order to verify the reliability of production, Wang once again examined the equipment from the beginning to the end.
“At present, it is in the most intense stage before mass production, and it fully supports and guarantees the operation of the factory. All processes and work are very important. The production line has been adjusted in accordance with the requirements of AMT. Now the main task is to strengthen the protection of cleaning.†Wang Baozhong Tell Automotive Business Review.
A week later, on December 19th, when more than 1,600 distributors from all over the world gathered in Jinan to participate in the end of the year's business meeting of China National Heavy Duty Truck, one of the most urgently transmitted information of President Cai Dong, namely the automatic control of machinery The gearbox will become an important support point for the heavy truck market in China in the near future. The heavy-duty transmission named “SMARTSHIFT-AMT†is just a preemptive opportunity when the market is still blank.
Cai Dong was pleased that close to the end of the conference, almost all Sinotruck dealers remember this abbreviation: AMT. Moreover, a dealer immediately after the meeting found his request for 50 new high-end products to be listed on the same day, HOWO-A7 tractors equipped with a “SMARTSHIFT-AMT†transmission.
From the second half of 2008 onwards, a global financial crisis engulfed the Chinese heavy truck market from an instant to a declining one. The current market conditions are sufficient to stave off any investment and expansion. However, the performance of China National Heavy Duty Truck is getting even lower and higher. First, the controversial EGR engine captured the market opportunity to minimize the losses caused by the crisis, and then acquired the Datong gear factory in Shanxi, which has a history of more than 50 years. At the end of many companies' unprofessional celebrations, it was surprisingly. Move out a piece of industry "milestone" - to achieve the industrialization of domestic automatic transmission and batch assembly of vehicles.
In fact, Sinotruk is not the first company to start R&D in the AMT field. When matching AMT transmissions to account for an ever-increasing share of the European heavy-duty truck market, the Chinese heavy-duty truck market presents another totally different picture. Although several large transmission manufacturers in China have also tried to seize gains in the field of automatic transmission, they have not been able to enter the stage of industrialization for various reasons, and some companies have to be ambitious after trying, so domestic companies can provide batch production. The supplier of automatic transmissions has been a multinational transmission manufacturer such as ZF.
It now appears that the mass production of the "SMARTSHIFT-AMT" transmission not only puts China's heavy truck in the lead of the industry, but also gives Ma Chung hopes that Sinotruk's desire to play a more important role in the jump of the heavy truck industry in China will increase forcefully. code.
