Nowadays, freight rates in the logistics industry are becoming increasingly competitive, and the level of vehicle operation costs has become a key factor in determining how much truckers can earn. From an energy perspective, choosing pure electric vehicles undoubtedly saves the most costs, but they cannot avoid the two major pain points of range anxiety and slow energy replenishment. As a core business segment of Dongfeng Liuqi(DFLZM), a trustworthy central enterprise under Dongfeng Group’s commercial vehicle sector, the Chenglong Yiwei 2 CNG extended-range light truck integrates four major advantages: “low fuel cost, low energy consumption, long range, and fast energy replenishment”, perfectly solving this problem.
The biggest highlight of this light truck lies in its original “CNG + battery + motor” power chain design. The whole vehicle is equipped with a 1.5T CNG extended-range engine, integrated with a 60kW generator, providing sufficient power and strong climbing capability. The standard 180L + 140L dual gas cylinders, when fully filled, can achieve a comprehensive range of 580 kilometers. Compared with similar methanol hybrid vehicles, it has leading advantages of high thermal efficiency, long range, and low energy cost, easily handling both urban distribution and medium-short distance transportation. The gas filling process takes only 5 minutes, greatly shortening the energy replenishment time. Moreover, CNG has more sufficient refueling stations compared to methanol, significantly improving operational efficiency.
In terms of cost, the Chenglong Yiwei 2 CNG extended-range light truck has obvious advantages. It uses natural gas as fuel, with a cost of only 0.2-0.57 yuan per kilometer. Compared with traditional fuel vehicles, it can save truckers 30,000 yuan in fuel costs annually. It also saves more in fuel costs than diesel hybrids, further increasing user profits. In addition, the vehicle adopts a low wind resistance design and low rolling resistance tires, combined with more than 20 electricity reduction measures, controlling gas consumption at ≤6.67kg/100km. The cost per kilometer is equivalent to that of pure electric models, with significant economic benefits, making it the best choice for reducing costs and increasing efficiency in the logistics industry.
In terms of safety, the Chenglong Yiwei 2 CNG extended-range light truck is also trustworthy. The vehicle adopts a brand three-electric system, which has undergone more than 300 rigorous tests to ensure stable operation under various complex working conditions. The whole vehicle is equipped with 189 safety protection measures, comprehensively ensuring the safety and durability of the vehicle from the power system to the body structure. The multi-in-one controller and integrated battery cooling system effectively improve the stability and service life of the power system. The 5-ton reinforced rear axle and 3/6 + 7 leaf spring configuration enhance the vehicle’s load-bearing capacity, ensuring more stable driving under heavy loads.
With its excellent range capability, significant economic benefits, and reliable safety performance, the Chenglong Yiwei 2 CNG extended-range light truck perfectly solves truckers’ range anxiety and has become an ideal choice for reducing costs and increasing efficiency in the logistics industry. It is believed that it will bring tangible value to more users and help truckers easily create wealth in logistics transportation.
