On March 20th, Great Wall Motor Company Limited and Cummins (China) Investment Co., Ltd. officially inked a strategic cooperation agreement. Wei Jianjun, the Chairman of Great Wall Motor, and Wang Kaijun, the Vice President of Cummins and General Manager of the Engine Business Unit in China, graced the signing ceremony. The two parties will center on the joint development and promotion of the dedicated powertrain for heavy – duty truck hybrid systems, thereby accelerating the carbon – reduction process in the commercial vehicle sector.
Collaborate and Innovate Jointly to Co – establish a New Benchmark for Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction in Long – distance Trunk Logistics Transportation
As a global trailblazer in power technology, Cummins engines have long enjoyed an excellent reputation within the industry for their remarkable reliability, powerful performance, and outstanding fuel economy. Having been deeply entrenched in the Chinese market for half a century, Cummins, leveraging its technological edge, local adaptation capabilities, and top – notch product performance, has emerged as one of the crucial power options in the Chinese commercial vehicle market. Particularly in the express delivery and freight forwarding industry, where cost control and transportation efficiency are of prime importance, Cummins’ power solutions have become the industry’s first – choice.
Cummins has been steadfastly committed to attaining the carbon – neutrality goal. By virtue of cutting – edge technologies such as multi – fuel engine platforms, hybrid power, and fuel cells, it offers customers a diverse range of power alternatives during the carbon – reduction and carbon – neutrality transition. In this collaboration, Cummins and Great Wall Commercial Vehicles have reached a consensus. The two sides will fully leverage their respective technical strengths, focusing on the innovative features of Great Wall Commercial Vehicles’ Hi4 – G super intelligent hybrid system. Through technical synergy and in – depth joint innovation, they will co – establish an industry benchmark for long – distance trunk logistics transportation with hybrid technology, presenting new solutions for energy conservation, emission reduction, cost – cutting, and efficiency enhancement to the express delivery and freight forwarding industry.
Technological Innovation to Propel New Breakthroughs in Hybrid Technology for the Heavy – Duty Truck Industry
All along, Great Wall Motor’s hybrid technology has taken its full – stack self – developed capabilities as the core. Through architectural innovation, scenario – specific adaptation, and intelligent control, it has constructed a technical matrix covering all vehicle model categories. Its Hi4 – G super intelligent hybrid system has shattered the homogenization quagmire of the P2 architecture for hybrid heavy – duty trucks, opening up a new path with a differentiated P2 + P2.5 dual – motor configuration. This system is equipped with the world’s first 8 – speed DHT transmission for commercial vehicles and a full – stack self – developed 9 – in – 1 power domain controller. Paired with a custom – tuned Cummins engine featuring high thermal efficiency, it showcases exceptional fuel – saving performance.
Currently, based on the actual operation tests of early – stage users, the fuel – saving rate of Great Wall’s hybrid heavy – duty trucks equipped with this hybrid system has reached 15% – 25%. After the cooperation, the two parties will continuously optimize the current power solutions around Great Wall’s Hi4 – G super intelligent hybrid system and jointly refine the dedicated hybrid engine, further promoting the innovative development of hybrid power technology and facilitating cost – reduction and efficiency – improvement in long – distance trunk logistics. Following the signing, the latest hybrid technology solutions and products will be rolled out successively.
This cooperation represents not only a powerful convergence of the technical prowess of the two parties but also a significant milestone for China’s commercial vehicle industry on its journey towards low – carbon and intelligent development. Through complementary advantages and in – depth joint innovation, Great Wall Commercial Vehicles and Cummins will jointly spearhead the innovative development of heavy – duty truck hybrid technology, contribute to the realization of the “dual carbon” goal, and drive China’s commercial vehicle industry towards a more efficient and eco – friendly future.
