Beiqi Foton Leads China's New Energy Vehicle to Industrialization


The 2008 Beijing Olympic Games has come to a close, but the changes the Olympic Games brought to the Chinese have only just begun. The good transfer of air quality in Beijing during the Olympics once again focused on green, environmental protection, and new energy, especially the environmental protection of new energy sources for motor vehicles.

At the same time, the global energy shortage and the continuous increase in the cost of vehicles have forced auto consumers to increase their attention to new energy vehicles. Futian Automobile, as a leading company in domestic self-owned brand cars, has already produced energy-saving, environmentally-friendly and low-cost self-branded brand new energy passenger cars, and successfully put into market operations to lead the development of new energy vehicles in China to industrialization.

First opening of new energy bus industrialization process

On January 11, 2008, 30 Futian hybrid buses with world-leading technologies were launched on the streets of Guangzhou.

The actual operating data of the Guangzhou Bus Company shows that the accumulated total mileage of the buses is more than 1.2 million kilometers, and the longest mileage of bicycles is about 60,000 kilometers. The average attendance rate is 97.2%, and no major failures have occurred. The average fuel consumption of vehicles is 30.5 liters per 100 kilometers, the minimum fuel consumption of bicycles is 27.3 liters per 100 kilometers, the average fuel consumption is more than 25% more than traditional passenger cars, and the emissions of nitrogen oxides and particulate matter are reduced by 27% and 19%, respectively. Sex and energy-saving emission reduction effects are significant.

Not long ago, Foton Motor received orders for more than 200 hybrid buses in Guangzhou. Many companies across the country expressed their purchase intentions. Beijing Bus 801 line, Futian hybrid bus is also a one-year demonstration run.

Futian marketing related staff introduced that choosing to promote in Guangzhou, one of the important reasons is that Guangzhou's public transportation industry is not the same as Beijing and other cities, is contracted to private companies to operate, the competition between the companies is very fierce, the car The cost of use such as fuel consumption and the reliability of the car are all very much concerned.

According to the actual operation results in Guangzhou, under the current oil price, a Fukuda hybrid 12-meter bus can save 89,100 yuan per year compared to ordinary passenger cars. Calculating according to a life cycle of 8 years, it can save 700,000 yuan in oil costs, and excluding 400,000 yuan more than ordinary passenger cars when buying a car, a hybrid bus can save 300,000 yuan more than an ordinary passenger car in one use cycle.

Zhang Weixiong, chairman of the Guangzhou Bus Company, said: “We are most concerned about economic returns, focusing on the market, cost-effectiveness, and energy consumption of our products. From the perspective of the current comparison of liquefied petroleum gas, electric energy, and hybrid energy, the hybrid The economic advantage is more obvious, and the effect of energy saving and emission reduction is better."

On August 31, 2008, the second phase of Futian New Energy Bus was officially completed and put into production. After being recognized by the market, Foton Motor became the first automobile company to truly commercialize new energy buses.

Create new energy car "Fukuda speed"

Compared with many domestic and domestic manufacturers, Futian New Energy Vehicle is not too early to start, but it is effective. From the construction of the key laboratories for energy conservation and emission reduction in 2005, it has only been more than three years since it created new energy. The "Fukuda Speed" of the car. Why is this effect achieved? This can be seen from the development of Foton Motor's more than ten years.

From 1996 to 2006, the development of Foton Motor can be divided into two phases. From 1996 to 2000 as the first stage, Foton's products were only one light truck, but Fukuda made light trucks the first in the country. Currently, it produces and sells more than 300,000 light trucks each year, which is also the first in the world; from 2000 to 2006. For the second phase, Foton started a full range of commercial vehicle operations. At present, it has exceeded one million units in production and sales, becoming the first brand of commercial vehicles in China and lagging only behind Mercedes-Benz in the international market, ranking second.

In the more than 10 years since it entered the automotive industry, Futian's development has relied on the self-accumulation of companies and market financing. Therefore, in Futian's independent innovation, it shows distinctive personality characteristics, is a strong market orientation, and seeks to integrate the largest resources with the least cost. The most results, to achieve the user's maximum satisfaction.

In 2005, it was the most difficult period for Foton to operate, but Fukuda resolutely raised 600 million yuan to build an internationally advanced key laboratory for energy conservation and emission reduction. For Fukuda, this is not a machine for burning money, but a cornucopia for making money.

After the completion of the laboratory in August 2007, the fuel economy of Foton products has undergone a qualitative leap, and the fuel consumption of heavy trucks has been reduced by more than 10%, which has resulted in a significant drop in the cost of use of Foton products and improved competitiveness. At the same time, the laboratory enables Fukuda to truly achieve self-development, independently achieve emissions calibrations for Euro 3 and Euro 4, and provide access to lower emissions, thereby meeting the emission standards of developed countries in Europe, the United States, and Japan, and for China's own brands. The development is another leap forward.

Zhao Jingguang, deputy secretary of the Foton Motor Party Committee, said that the research and development of new energy technologies cannot be relied on as a business. Where the government only advocates no real preferential policies, there is only one incentive for new energy technology research and development, which is to market it as soon as possible. New energy vehicles are not unprofitable. Although early research and development and manufacturing costs are high, it is still profitable to factor in savings in energy costs during use.

Summarizing the development process of Foton's new energy vehicles, Zhao Jingguang said that enterprises are the main body of independent innovation, and technological R&D is not just a matter of scientific research institutes, but must be combined with production, learning, and research. It is estimated that by 2010, Foton Motor will sell more than 500 hybrid buses and in 2012 it will have an annual production capacity of 1,500 hybrid buses.

Build "Green Fukuda System"

August 28, 2008 was the anniversary of the Futian Automobile Factory. The employees who had participated in the flag-raising ceremony in the morning had just returned to their respective posts. Suddenly, the power, water, and gas of the Foton Motor Plant in all parts of the country were completely absent. After two hours, it returned to normal. This was not an accident. It was the "energy shortage experience" held by Foton Motor. During the difficult two hours, the employees were deeply aware of the inconvenience caused by the energy shortage.

It is with this awareness and understanding that Foton Motor's promotion of energy conservation and emission reduction is not only reflected in the research and development of new energy vehicles, but also reflected in every aspect of the company.

In 2002, Foton introduced the “Toyota Production System”, and in 2004 it developed it into a unique “Fukuda Production Method” to increase efficiency and eliminate waste. Taking the paint shop as an example, from January to August of 2007, the average energy consumption of bicycles in Foton Light's paint shop was 755.35 yuan. From September 2007 to June 2008, the average energy consumption of bicycles fell to 585.8 yuan. Yuan, the bicycle energy consumption is reduced to 169.55 yuan. According to the average monthly output of 1,800 vehicles, the annual cost savings can be 3.66 million yuan. Through the transformation of water-based paints, the content of volatile organic compounds in the spray process of Auman heavy-duty topcoats has dropped from 80 grams per square meter to 40 grams per square meter, which is better than the European standard of 45 grams per square meter.

In addition, Foton also actively promotes information and order management, invests tens of millions of yuan to purchase advanced exhaust gas treatment facilities from Germany, and realizes zero discharge of waste water and recycling of reclaimed water in the newly-built plant area, which saves tap water annually 5 More than 10,000 tons.

At the same time, the energy-saving and emission-reduction of Foton Motor is not only confined to the interior of the company, but extends to the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, and it has played a good social demonstration effect. Foton Motor has pioneered the "chain innovation" model in China. Its core content is based on integrated innovation, breaking the single enterprise's closedness, integrating the upstream and downstream resources through cooperation among the enterprises in the industrial chain, and forming a common innovation mechanism. In the energy-saving and emission-reduction process, Futian also played a role in "chain innovation."

All of Foton Motor's suppliers have a special contract other than the procurement contract. They call it a "green contract" and require the supplier to meet the company's energy conservation and emission reduction standards within the prescribed time. Otherwise, they will not be considered. Through green procurement, the upstream and downstream companies have jointly achieved the goal of energy conservation and emission reduction.

In the factory area of ​​Futian, elevators, air-conditioning switches, printers, light switches, parking lots, etc., everywhere can be seen such as "saving energy, walking for good health," "improving once room temperature," "double-sided printing," "Please leave the lights off "Environmental protection and emission reduction start from me" and other environmental tips.

Zhao Jingguang stated that management and culture are the two drivers of energy-saving and emission-reduction of Foton Motor. They are the comprehensive expression of “hard power” and “soft power” of energy-saving emission reduction. Without energy-saving and emission-reduction conscious actions, there can be no good energy-saving and emission reduction. Products are provided to the community. Energy-saving and emission reduction has become a new driving force for Foton Auto's independent innovation and enterprise development.
