Both have their own advantages Gasoline pickup still dominates the mainstream


With the rise in oil prices, people want to buy a pickup truck with low fuel consumption, so diesel pickups came into being. Some people predict that 2004 will be the "first year of Chinese diesel vehicles." However, calm analysis, we will find: diesel cars and petrol cars have their own advantages, for a long time, gasoline pickup still occupy the mainstream.

Gasoline engine and diesel engine have different advantages

The advantages of the gasoline engine are its small size, light weight, low price, good startability, high rotational speed at maximum power, low vibration and noise during operation, higher speed and speed than diesel engines, and the feeling of driving a car. Gasoline engines have been widely used in automobiles, especially cars. In recent years, China's gasoline engine pickups have undergone fierce competition and product technology has matured. However, compared with diesel engines, the biggest disadvantage of gasoline engines is high fuel consumption. The equivalent displacement is about 2-3 liters per 100 kilometers.

Diesel engines are increasingly welcomed by the market for their advantages of low fuel consumption, strong power, low-temperature gas emissions, and durability. However, in the technical level of diesel engines in China, the quality of oil products, policies, and the use environment restrict their development. Domestic diesel engine engines have a low level of technology, are relatively heavy, have large vibration and noise, and are difficult to start in cold winter vehicles. It is difficult to meet national environmental standards for emissions. In addition, the diesel engine's fuel injection pump and nozzle manufacturing requirements are high, so the production cost is higher; the same type, with the configuration of the diesel engine is higher than the gasoline engine price of nearly 10,000 yuan.

The pickup market has steadily increased

In the past few years, gasoline engines in our pickup market have always dominated. In this small industry, the competition is very fierce. At present, more than 8 years of well-known old brands in the country include Great Wall, Qingling, Jiangling, Nissan, Yangzi, Tianye, and Shuguang, which have formed a certain scale of production and sales. After 2000, a large number of new brands entered the field, such as: Wanfeng, Xinkai, Dadi, Tianma, Hongyuan, Kaidi, etc. At the same time, some agricultural vehicle manufacturers also entered the pickup industry, such as the Panthers, Fukuda and so on. At present, domestic pickup trucks have reached more than 30 brands in the middle and low grades. After fierce market competition, product technology has matured. Since the second half of 2002, pickup trucks have all launched economical SUVs. The pickups and economical SUVs have experienced a phenomenon of shifting one another at a time. However, in terms of pickups alone, the market demand in the past two years has not been met. Lowering, maintaining a steady trend of gains, of which 60,000-80,000 yuan mid-range gasoline pickup is the main force of our pickup.

Gasoline pickup technology mature

From the aspect of product technology, the top few pickup brands aim at the international market, have learned and innovated, digested and absorbed, and have already possessed the product technology and development capabilities of the foreign car industry. Compared with similar foreign pickup trucks, the domestic pickup trucks are in technical quality. There is a certain gap, but the integrated cost-effectiveness is better than that of imported pickup trucks. In terms of environmental protection, gasoline pickups adopt advanced multi-point EFI engines and emission control technologies to meet Euro II standards. Most of the domestic gasoline pickups match the more advanced 491QE multi-point EFI engine with a displacement of more than 2.2 liters. The standard fuel consumption is about 8 to 9 liters per 100 kilometers, and the speed can reach 140 kilometers per hour. The emission meets Euro II standards.

In recent years, domestic pickup trucks have become new, equipment has become more and more luxurious, and the appearance has become more and more fashionable. It has been unclear which one is based on what kind of descent. In the past, Chinese pickups were mostly double-seat single models, and now have developed a variety of styles and different styles with different wheelbases and wheelbases. For example, the pickup truck Great Wall not only has the standard double row seat pickups on the market, but also There are various types of specifications such as extended double row, medium double row, half row, single row, van pickup, etc., which are different from other brands, as well as two-wheel drive, four-wheel drive, gasoline engine, and diesel engine type. From less than 40,000 yuan to more than 90,000 yuan, all the domestic pickup brands have been wiped out.

The new trend of diesel pickups

Entering 2004, with the rise in gasoline prices, there have been some changes in the pickup market, many manufacturers have increased the promotion of diesel pickups, the main representative brands are the Great Wall, Jiangling, Qingling, Austrian bell, in the emerging diesel pickup field Can be roughly divided into two levels: First, the Great Wall, Jiangling represented by the assembly of 4JBI technology diesel engine, displacement of 2.8 liters, power of about 60 kilowatts, the price of 70,000 -9 million, this type of pickup represents the diesel The mainstream of pickup trucks; Second, the 4D22 diesel engine represented by Futian, with a displacement of 2.2 liters, a power of about 46 kilowatts, and a low-priced diesel pickup of around 60,000 yuan. Affected by supply and demand, the National Development and Reform Commission’s plan to increase diesel prices was formally implemented at 0:00 on May 18. The ex-factory price of diesel oil was increased by RMB 280 per ton, and the retail medium price was adjusted according to the ex-factory price adjustment. Pricing. The Guangdong Provincial Price Bureau adjusted the price of Shenzhen diesel from RMB 3.05/liter to RMB 3.35/liter.

As the saying goes, there is no two sweet sugar cane. When choosing a pickup truck, you should consider whether to buy a petrol or a diesel vehicle. Consider the advantages and disadvantages and consider the cost of lifelong optimization. Pickup is different from agricultural vehicles. It is a type of sedan and card. Its distinctive feature is that it has the comfort of a sedan, and it is also versatile. It has a stronger capacity than a passenger car and a poorly adapted road surface. Above 100 horsepower, the speed is greater than 120km/h. In the equipment, performance, as much as mid-range cars.
