The number of trailers in a country can reflect the speed of development of the country's transportation industry. It is understood that the ratio of truck tractors to trailers in the transportation markets of developed countries in Europe and America has reached 1:4. With the continuous development of China's logistics industry, this figure has risen to more than 1:2 in China in recent years. It can be seen that with the rapid development of the number of trailers in China, the entire transportation industry in China is also developing toward rapid modernization. Nearly 30% of the trailer's capacity and rising momentum in China's transportation market have decided to enter this market and make its own contribution to the modernization of the transportation industry.
With the continuous improvement and development of the domestic transportation environment, overloading will gradually withdraw from roads, vehicles and safety. The operational efficiency concerns of users will become more and more important and prominent, and Michelin will launch special trailers timely. Tire XTE2 will be proven in the market inspection in the next few years.
XZA2 + ENERGY tubeless tires is Michelin China put into the Chinese market in 2006, sales in the Chinese market in 2008 exceeded 100,000, Michelin advocated by the energy market in the market has been better verified, according to statistics, 100,000 Green energy-saving tires have saved users nearly 24 million liters of fuel. However, under the condition that more than 90% of trucks in China are using inner tube tires, the green solution with tube tires is undoubtedly an urgent need to achieve national energy-saving emission reduction targets and reduce the operating costs of trucks and buses. How can the technology be applied to such a large market? Michelin insists on technological innovation, but also because of the market, in the release of the 10.00R20, 11.00R20 and 12.00R20 three sizes of XZA2ENERGY tube tires cover the domestic The majority of trucks have an inner tube tire market and truly provide green tire solutions for such a large tubeless tire market.
As the tubeless trailer tire XTE2, since there is no inner tire cushion, the overall weight of the tire is reduced, which undoubtedly played a key role in the weight-based Chinese truck transportation market. In addition, due to the reduction of components, the maintenance cost and maintenance time of the vehicle are correspondingly reduced. For logistics companies, they also reduce the amount of parts they have to store, and they will realize cost-effective operation as a whole. However, from a technical point of view, Michelin did a subtraction on the part, but at the same time, performance did add. Xia Maoting explained to the reporter with pictures that the trailer will encounter three problems in driving: One is to encounter horizontal traverse friction when turning; the second problem is a high thorn rate; the third trailer will often have Very serious eccentric wear. In order to solve these problems, Michelin has reinforced the shoulders of the tires to improve the durability of the tires; the solid four-layer full-width steel belt design also strengthens resistance to stabs, collisions and impacts; in addition, optimization The tread profile and uniform ground stress distribution effectively reduce irregular wear, allowing the tire to perform well without loss. This is also a further reflection of the safety and efficiency that Michelin has always insisted on.
In the face of China's trailer market with 3% of tubeless tire space and 97% of inner tire space, what should Michelin do? Michelin told the author: The remaining 97% of tire users can also enjoy an enhanced tire crown , shoulder part, because Michelin has a tread pattern refurbished technology, users can refurbish at the refurbished factory into the same tread pattern XTE2. Therefore, Michelin is not just serving the tubeless tire market. In fact, Michelin is serving 100% of the market. We have a solution for tubeless tires for the 3% tubeless tire market, and we have a tread for the trailer market with inner tubes. Patterns for your renovation. Mr. Xia Maoting also stressed that for users who are currently using tube tires, if they need to use special tires for trailers, they can be retreaded into the treads of this product. Through this change, they can also achieve the high efficiency, energy saving and environmental protection that Michelin insists.
These two new Michelin products have been launched in small batches to end users in Fujian and Henan to allow users to experience. It is to be appreciated that the feedback Michelin now receives is very satisfactory. Although the capacity of the market is still very small, Michelin believes that the changes in the Chinese market, just as two years ago, the market share of the trailer tubeless tire market is basically zero, two years later is now 3%, as can be expected two years later It may be 8% or 10%. It may be 30% after the next five years. Xia Maoting firmly believes that Michelin's insistence on product quality and quality will certainly win the Chinese market.
