First Batch of Dongfeng Tianlong Vehicles with Cummins Z15N FE + Yingdong AMT Enter Zhongtong for Professional Training

The current logistics industry is in an era of stock competition. The continuous involution of the market has made cost reduction and efficiency increase inevitable. How to break through has become a compulsory course for all practitioners. On March 31, the first batch of 10 Dongfeng Tianlong heavy trucks equipped with Cummins Z15N FE + Yingdong AMT integrated power chain entered Zhongtong Express, injecting more efficient, reliable and environmentally friendly transportation capacity into it. At the same time, the event also launched a 4-day customized driver training to fully help Zhongtong improve transportation efficiency and environmental benefits.

As a leading company in the field of domestic LTL express delivery, ZTO Express has repeatedly selected Dongfeng vehicles that match Cummins products in batches, which is not only a trust in the products, but also a new upgrade of its own strategic development. For Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle and Cummins, this successful delivery is not only a reflection of product strength, but also highlights the outstanding performance and market recognition of both parties in the field of commercial vehicles. It also marks that the cooperation between the two parties and ZTO Express in the field of green and efficient logistics has entered a new stage.

“Efficiency and benefits” has become the development goal of large express delivery companies, and purchasing cost-effective heavy-duty trucks has become a key part of implementing this goal. In this regard, Cummins has a deep insight into the demand for trunk logistics transportation, and has joined hands with Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles to give heavy-duty trucks more efficiency, reliability, cost reduction and comfort through innovative technologies. This is also an important reason why ZTO Express chooses Dongkang and Dongfeng products.

The Dongfeng Tianlong flagship KL delivered this time is equipped with Cummins Z15N FE + Yingdong AMT gas integrated power chain, with an output power of 530 horsepower and a torque of 2500N·m. It can burst out large torque at low speed, and the power performance is improved by 10%, which is better than the products with the same displacement in the industry, and can ensure the operation efficiency of express delivery under various complex road conditions. With the Yingdong AMT gearbox, it has a variety of intelligent driving modes, freeing the left foot and right hand, and the automatic start + creeping function makes forward and reverse worry-free, ensuring the efficient operation of express delivery business. Dongkang gas integrated power chain adopts the smart brain CBM3.0, which intelligently selects the most efficient and fuel-saving operating point and the best gearbox gear to operate, so that the whole vehicle always runs in the lowest consumption range, reducing gas consumption by 4%-8% compared with the same level of models, and the subsequent mileage is longer after one refueling, helping the fleet to improve transportation efficiency and significantly reduce operating costs.

In terms of reliability, the gas-integrated power train has also demonstrated its great technical advantages. Dongkang Z15N FE gas engine optimizes the cylinder head design, cooling system design, and water jacket system to improve power, greatly improving its adaptability to operation under high-cold conditions. This power train has undergone more than 40,000 hours of bench verification tests and more than 4.7 million kilometers of three-high-speed road verification tests. Its reliable quality has been verified, adding protection to trunk logistics transportation and helping customers achieve high-reliability and high-value operations!

Vehicle delivery is just the beginning. Only by providing customers with wholehearted service can we help them achieve better profit. In order to maximize the efficiency of the integrated powertrain of Dongkang Z15N FE+Yingdong AMT gearbox, Cummins simultaneously carried out special training on “driving skills + energy-saving operation” for Zhongtong drivers after the delivery of the vehicle. We strive to maximize the performance of the vehicle, achieve high efficiency and reliability, and make more money by driving easily. We will do our best to ensure that Dongfeng Tianlong equipped with a gas integrated powertrain continues to improve in terms of operation timeliness, cost control, and service quality.

At the event, professional Cummins service personnel conducted special training for Zhongtong drivers. For example, in terms of driving skills, they explained to drivers how to combine the characteristics of the gas integrated power chain to perform smooth starting, predictive braking and other operating specifications; through car networking data analysis, they guided drivers to optimize speed control and improve shifting logic; explained the key points of daily inspection of the gas system to improve the vehicle’s full life cycle management capabilities.

A Zhongtong driver who participated in the on-site training gave feedback: “This is my first time using the Dongkang gas integrated power chain. There are many things I don’t understand, such as energy-saving driving and maintenance. After this training, I have basically mastered them, especially the skills of energy-saving driving. It is expected that I can help the fleet save more operating costs every month.”

As an important bridge between production and consumption, the express delivery industry not only delivers goods, but also warmth and hope. The cooperation between Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle, Dongfeng Cummins and ZTO Express makes this delivery faster and more reliable. In the future, Dongfeng Cummins will continue to work with Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle to create better products and services for customers and help customers achieve efficient operations!
