Time flies and the sun rises the next day.
The night was uneventful.
Zhao Fengyuan got up early and immediately checked the fuel tank of the large truck. He confirmed that there were no signs of prying and that the fuel gauge was normal. This made him feel relieved.
I washed briefly with the water stored in the car, ate two large steamed buns and pickles stored in the car for breakfast, and then drove the vehicle to the edge of the city, to a large truck parking lot next to the national highway.
With the valuables in the car, Zhao Fengyuan and his wife stopped a car heading towards the city and headed into the city.
After paying the fare of 20 yuan, the two finally arrived at the Red Star Auto Sales Store in Heyueba City.
It was still early at this time and the sales store had not yet opened for business.
However, unlike ordinary products, car sales companies often park some vehicles outside their stores, and people are not prohibited from visiting them even outside working hours.
Hongxing Automobile, which has a very wide space, is no exception. Outside the store, there are various models of cars ranging from small to large.
After greeting the security guard in charge, the two were allowed to enter and inspect the vehicle.
Red Star car sales stores in big cities not only have wider spaces, but also have a wide range of models.
There are small pure electric Hongxing vans, larger single-row minivans, and even larger trucks of various sizes, including vans, high rails, flatbeds, etc., all on display.
Scanning their eyes among more than 20 cars, Zhao Fengyuan and the two saw their target model, an oversized and long large high-rail truck with a body length of about 12 meters and a cargo box length of 9.6 meters. It has a double-row front of the cab.
Surrounding this big thing, which was more than ten meters long, Zhao Fengyuan and the two looked at it carefully.
Liu Yan: "The Red Star Veyron looks very powerful. It looks much better than our old cars. The new cars are just different!"
Zhao Fengyuan thought for a while: "The appearance is quite different, it's basically the same. The main thing is the quality of the vehicles. Kyushu Motors is relatively reassuring in terms of car manufacturing. In terms of cars, there are super sports cars like Kyushu Suzaku, and some are cheaper. Huaxia Automobile worth tens of thousands of yuan, and Jiuzhou low-speed electric cars worth tens of thousands of yuan."
"Laotou Ledu is able to produce such good quality. I haven't heard of any quality problems in dozens of models of cars. It makes no sense that trucks can't be built well. They all seem to use the same motor power system. .”
"I heard that the buses are also manufactured very well. The driving experience and vehicle quality are much better than those of other companies."
"Let's take a look first. I feel like it's really suitable for us to use."
In addition to the vehicles, various aspects of the new energy trams in the store are introduced on the glass of the store and on the promotional stand-up posters.
After looking at the car, Zhao Fengyuan looked at the introduction of truck models in the store: "The motor power system has a super long warranty of five years and 300,000 kilometers. The warranty time is half that of a car, but the mileage has been improved. I remember Jiuzhou and As for Huaxia Automobile, the power system warranty is ten years and 200,000 kilometers."
"Three hundred thousand kilometers is enough for us to drive it for three years. Moreover, the quality of Kyushu Motor's vehicles is said to be very good, or much better than traditional fuel vehicles."
"The power system uses four Suzaku motors 8×4, with a power of 1,200 horsepower?!"
"I remember that the power of our previous car seemed to be a Foton Cummins engine with more than 400 horsepower. If it was fully loaded with cargo, it would not be able to run on the highway. The speed would only be 80 or 90 miles at most, especially when encountering some When going uphill, you can only downshift and crawl slowly at a low speed.”
"With three times the power of the Red Star Veyron, it should be able to take off. If nothing else, there's no problem running 120 miles with a full load, right?!"
"The power system is awesome. It is worthy of being the company that builds the world's top supercars and is able to sell motor power systems to major domestic and foreign automobile manufacturers!"
"The power performance is strong, so it can haul more cargo. In this case, one trip can have the same effect as the previous two trips!"
Looking carefully at the poster, Zhao Fengyuan finally saw more information about this Red Star Veyron.
"The vehicle weighs 14 tons, has a rated load capacity of 28 tons, a total mass of 42 tons, and a maximum speed of 180 kilometers per hour?!"
In terms of weight, it is heavier than the previous car, and the rated load capacity and total mass are also much higher than the car that Zhao Fengyuan and the others drove before.
The top speed reaches 180 kilometers per hour, which is a high speed that even heavy trucks like Mercedes-Benz and Volvo cannot reach!
"Well, the rated load is the rated load. The actual driving depends on the situation. If there are many checks, stick to the rated load..."
"But even the rated load capacity is nearly ten tons more than the previous car, which is very good!"
Maybe the only thing that feels bad about such a load is related to roads. Large trucks carrying heavy cargo can easily crush the road!
Zhao Fengyuan looked down again and came to the vehicle's power consumption per 100 kilometers. The power consumption per 100 kilometers was 35 kWh.
"This power consumption seems to be nearly three times higher than that of an ordinary car, but that is compared to a small car!"
"If a car burns oil, it can only burn about seven or eight fuels. A small number of oil tigers can burn up to ten fuels, and trucks are about five times that of cars, with an average fuel consumption of 40+."
"If the electricity consumption per 100 kilometers is 35 kilowatt-hours, according to the current cost of replacing the battery, it costs one yuan per kilometre, which is the electricity bill of 35 yuan per 100 kilometers?"
"It's much cheaper than LNG-powered trucks. A large truck like LNG costs more than 200 yuan per 100 kilometers. If it burns oil, the fuel cost will be less than 300 yuan!"
"35 yuan, compared to the usage fee of 300 yuan, the difference between gas and electricity consumption is almost ten times! I don't know how Jiuzhou Technology does it, but it's awesome!"
Even though the difference seems to be more than 200 yuan, this is the vehicle usage cost that can be saved for 100 kilometers.
Generally speaking, who uses a large truck to travel three to five hundred kilometers a day?
At the very least, the schedule is 10,000 kilometers in a month, and 100,000 kilometers in a year is not enough.
When the distance reaches 100,000 kilometers and the difference is calculated, it becomes a very huge number.
265 yuan per 100 kilometers, the cost saved for 100,000 kilometers is 265,000 yuan!
One hundred thousand kilometers is still a small amount of mileage. If it is more, it may be doubled. In that case, the cost that can be saved will be about 500,000!
With new energy trams, the more they travel, the more they save. It’s no problem to save hundreds of thousands a year!
According to the current income of Zhao Fengyuan and the others, the two of them earn approximately 15,000 yuan per month. If they can save that large amount of gas expenses, their income will be doubled or tripled!
After carefully calculating the power consumption of this 100 kilometers, Zhao Fengyuan's heart beats much faster!
However, after watching the power consumption several times, Zhao Fengyuan suddenly thought of a question.
"I remember that the battery pack of Hengxin Battery seems to be able to hold 70 kilowatt-hours of electricity at a time? And it is impossible to replace the battery pack after all is used up, and a part of the power must be reserved for emergencies."
"A battery pack can run up to two hundred kilometers? This doesn't seem possible. The distance is too short. According to the information we have learned, it still takes hundreds of kilometers to find a battery swap station in some remote places."
Zhao Fengyuan's heartbeat, which was beating very fast just now, suddenly slowed down by two beats.
Fortunately, he read quickly enough and soon found Red Star Motors' solution to this problem from the advertisement in the store and further down.
"A 12-meter-long Red Star Veyron can hold up to 6 battery packs?!"
"That's no problem. It means it can run 1,200 kilometers at a time. Not to mention running 1,200 kilometers to replace the battery, 1,000 kilometers is more than enough!"
"This is reasonable. It has a long battery life. In this case, there are battery swap stations covering the country, and this car can go anywhere!"
There are ups and downs in mood, but overall, this is still news that makes Zhao Fengyuan very excited.
At the end of the advertisement, there is an issue that Zhao Fengyuan is very concerned about, that is the price. In fact, Zhao Fengyuan has just seen the price of this Red Star Veyron large truck, because the red festive numbers are particularly large and conspicuous, occupying the entire area. Most of the poster’s space!
Red Star Veyron, after new energy subsidies, the price starts from 488,000 yuan!
Compared with other fuel trucks of the same size, this price is not particularly high, nor is it particularly cheap.
A 9.6-meter large truck can be purchased for more than RMB 200,000 for domestically produced models, while higher-priced joint venture models cost RMB 50,000 or RMB 6,000.
However, the price also needs to be compared based on various aspects of the product to determine whether it is cost-effective.
There is no harm without comparison. The Red Star Veyron has low power consumption, high performance, high load capacity, cheap maintenance, no need to add urea, and various advantages of warranty, which make this obviously expensive price seem very good value.
Standing outside the store window, Zhao Fengyuan held his wife's hand and calculated excitedly.
"Fortunately, after one year of hard work, I saved hundreds of thousands in gas expenses, and then I can make a lot of money starting from the second year. The profit I make every month is at least two or three times the previous profit! "
"This is still the difference between oil consumption and electricity consumption. The cost saved, plus the profit we should have made, this car can bring us 700,000 yuan a year!"
"If we work for another ten years, we will be able to retire and have money for our son to buy a house or get married. We will also have a deposit that can be used for retirement. By then I can go fishing every day and you won't have to do anything. , go out with friends every day to play and chat.”
"Maybe after changing the car, we won't have to drive a sports car day and night as we did before. The fuel cost saved by the electric car will be enough to make up for the difference in income."
"And those gas guzzlers, they can't steal our gas on the trams, hahaha!"
"This Red Star truck is really good!"
Looking at the large truck placed outside again, Zhao Fengyuan was very satisfied with everything. The more he looked at it, the more handsome he became!
Liu Yan, who is aware of all this, is also looking forward to the large electric truck. If it can bring more benefits to the family, it is good!
But it is a pity that a promotional poster cannot convey a lot of content. After checking both sides, Zhao Fengyuan took his wife and handed a cigarette to the security guard at the door, and then began to wait for the Red Star Automobile at 8:30 in the morning. salespeople go to work.
