CIMC Vehicles Initiate the Solution to Solve the Paint Point of China Refrig-erated Trailers
“It’s always the happiest time for me to deliver new products”, said Shu Lei , head of Digital Modeling Design Center, CIMC Vehicle Group. On December 8, 2017, he made that remark when he delivered to customers the initial batch of Golden Brand containers and Greenbody containers and proclaimed those the new refrigerated transport products.
With world-leading technology of modular design and Reefer1.5 foaming process, CIMC Vehicles breaks new ground in refrigerated container development. Due to its lightweight, good thermal insulation, large capacity and long lasting durability, CIMC Vehicles acts as the front-runner in the market of refrigerated transportation equipment.
The future market will be gradually highlighted by containers and trailers. “We should take precautions to prepare for the next five-year golden development of cold chain”, Shu said, “the changes of modular portfolios contribute to the fast switching between Golden Brand skeleton trailer and Golden Brand refrigerated trailers as well as between van truck body and central axle truck body. All these provide more choices for clients. ”
In recent years, CIMC Vehicles has been devoted to improving independent R&D capacity and production efficiency. CIMC Vehicles has been making technological progress, including establishing committees that incubate new projects, initiating “the Incubation Program of Global Talents Development Program” to attract professional personnel, developing applied technology researches and formulating national and industrial standards to lead industry technology progress.
“As both a pioneer and leader in the field of cold chain infrastructure, our team is so desperate to recruit the talent”, said Shen Jianwen, the former Chief Technical Officer of CIMC Vehicles, he said, Shu Lei has been terribly busy over the past half year.
As a project supervisor, Shu Lei has always been engaged in various businesses ranging from project establishment, team building, technical indicators and routes formulation to the project research team cooperating with Qingdao CIMC Reefer Trailer Co., Ltd. and CIMC Vehicles (Shan Dong) Co., Ltd. The team members are selected from its subsidiary employees who are qualified for project requirements through practical exercises. It’s their outstanding achievements in research that arouse attention from manufacturers and customers at home and aboard.
With the help of several “black technology”, the Golden Brand containers and Greenbody containers have been ?marked as the preferred commodity for customers and also promoted “Made-by-CIMC” products to seize the opportunities in the domestic market of cold chain. New breakthrough has been achieved in three aspects. Firstly, in terms of manufacture, the products take advantage of crossover designs of North America refrigerated semitrailer and several patents as well as the world’s front-runner foaming equipment of Reefer1.5 characterized by numerical control, high pressure and low density. This equipment contributes to good thermal insulation properties thanks to its foaming average density and surface smoothness. Secondly, as for materials, it is even among the first to reach food safety standards of “odorless and corrosion-resistance” by applying environmental friendly materials, such as high intensity of zinc-coated galvanized sheet or exterior aluminum sheet panel, thermoplastic inner sheet, green-blowing agents and sealants. Thirdly, in terms of intelligence, it boasts advanced intelligent technology and patents, including sensor LED light, temperature control fan and temperature monitoring systems.
With the increasing demand of cold chain transportation services in medical care and food in China, the refrigerated trailers will climb to more than 150,000 with a compound growth rate of between 10% and 20% in the following three years. Shu Lei remarked that the new product was launched due to the cooperation between headquarter and subsidiaries in R&D, production and sales. He added that all members are absolutely confident in the products and devoted to selling more advanced products throughout the country.?
