The most expensive car in the world is probably the intelligent mine car, except for the specially customized private car.
Cheng Bo, Secretary of the Party Committee and Dean of Luoyang Mining Machinery Engineering Design and Research Institute Co., Ltd., told China Business News that the mining dump truck is a high value-added product with high R&D investment. In light of the domestic market demand trend, the future load capacity will be About 200 tons and about 300 tons of AC electric wheel dump trucks will become the mainstream of the market. Based on the annual sales of 100 units in the domestic market, the total output value is 2 billion yuan, including about 800 million yuan of electric drive systems.
Cheng Bo made the above statement at the "2019 Weichai Group Mining Vehicle Intelligent Innovation and Development Conference and New Vehicle Tasting Conference" held in Ordos on September 8.
He told China Business News that the price of this car is about 10 million yuan per unit. At present, domestic car companies have developed and produced mining trucks with a load of 300 tons, but the market scope is very limited. "In some key technologies, we still have a gap, and the gap is probably more than 10 years."
Mine trucks are undoubtedly a big blue ocean for Chinese car companies. CBN reporters learned that although the overall scale of mining trucks is shrinking, in recent years it has dropped from 110 billion US dollars globally to 66 billion US dollars per year, while the scale of such products by domestic companies is about 13 billion yuan. This share is very small.
