"Youth Running Forward" enters Sany! Our heavy trucks are not ordinary

"One charge, 817.5 kilometers".

TrinityMagic Tower 1165Electric tractor

Successfully challenged to travel more than 800 kilometers on a single charge

The world's longest record

It has pioneered the long-distance transportation of domestic electric heavy trucks

A breakthrough of "zero"!

Behind this achievement is a group of "supermen"

They are brutal and enduring

Lead the optimization and upgrading of design solutions with innovative thinking

Let the electric heavy truck have both strong power and "light as a swallow"

On May 21, it was guided by the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, the Hunan Provincial Committee of the Communist Youth League, and produced by Mango TV"Youth Running Forward: Our Heavy Trucks Are Not Ordinary"It was broadcast on Mango TV and Hunan Satellite TV.

Who says electric heavy trucks can't run long distances? These engineers made it break the world record!

How big can the battery capacity of a new energy heavy truck be? How long can the maximum range be? 1165 degrees, 817.5 kilometers, this is the answer given by Ye Lei, R&D engineer of Sany Heavy Truck, and his team. In June 2023, the first road voyage of the Sany Magic Tower 1165 electric tractor executed by Ye Lei as the forward chassis project officially started, winning the Guinness World Record for the longest endurance of new energy heavy trucks in the world. Since entering the industry, Ye Lei and his team have always cherished dreams, been down-to-earth, dared to think and act on the road of innovation and research and development, and successfully completed one "first" challenge after another, injecting youth energy into China's intelligent manufacturing.

"Tyranny, patience"

Face the doubts, roll up your sleeves and work hard

"One charge, 817.5 kilometers". The Sany Magic Tower 1165 electric tractor completed the whole high-speed journey from Changsha to Shenzhen in more than 15 hours of extreme challenge, and successfully challenged the world's longest record of more than 800 kilometers on one charge, creating a breakthrough in the long-distance transportation of domestic electric heavy trucks. Behind this achievement, the hard work of many engineers has been condensed, including Ye Lei, the core figure of R&D.

In 2019, Sany started the development of electric heavy trucks, when the world's truck giants were also trying to electrify, and Chinese stood on the same starting line with their foreign counterparts for the first time. Ye Lei heard a lot of questions about the idea of "1165 degrees and an electric heavy truck with a range of more than 800 kilometers". In the face of these voices, he bluntly said, "I can be brutal and endured, no matter how difficult this thing seems to others, I will move forward anyway." ”

To do a good job in R&D, field research is the first step. Ye Lei found in the survey that the main contradiction in the research and development of heavy trucks is that the battery volume is large, and the body is also increased, which will have an impact on the loading space and the weight of the vehicle. Faced with this core problem, Ye Lei rose to the challenge. He led the team to try a variety of battery installation methods, from chassis installation to back installation, and then to the installation method of combining back and chassis, and constantly iterated the design scheme.

In the end, Ye Lei and his colleagues cleverly borrowed the design concept of power batteries for passenger cars, and innovatively laid out the battery on the entire chassis, thereby maximizing the use of limited chassis space. This design breaks the traditional design framework, so that the chassis and battery of this heavy truck are integrated, which not only greatly improves the power of the vehicle, but also successfully realizes the weight reduction of the body.

Innovative R&D and design not only improve the performance of heavy trucks, but more importantly, it can bring real help to drivers and masters, which is also Ye Lei's top priority. Ye Lei calculated that if a new energy heavy truck travels 250,000 kilometers a year, it can save 287,900 yuan a year.

"If you don't innovate, you'll fall behind"

Carrying a heavy truck to wherever it is needed

"How's our energy consumption data doing?" Ye Lei asked. "I don't think it's good enough." He went on to offer his opinion. To put it simply, Ye Lei's job is to communicate and coordinate with various departments of the company in an all-round way to ensure the smooth progress of the research and development of heavy trucks. Ye Lei said humorously, "Sometimes you are so busy that you may have to be separated, so you can really finish all these tasks." ”

In 2018, Ye Lei left Zhengzhou and returned to Changsha to devote himself to the project of Sany Heavy Truck. As if it was a coincidence of fate, he personally participated in and witnessed the birth of multiple "firsts" of Sany Heavy Truck. From the first electric heavy truck of Sany Heavy Truck, to the first hydrogen energy heavy truck, to the first electric heavy truck in mass production, and even the first electric heavy truck with the longest battery life in the world, and the first electric heavy truck that Sany Group is about to enter Europe. Behind these breakthrough projects, Ye Lei is busy and indispensable contribution.

Among them, Sany Group's first electric heavy truck in Europe is a new challenge that Ye Lei has recently faced. He enthusiastically introduced the factory to European customers who came from afar. This highly intelligent gigafactory is the core base for the production of this batch of European orders. From the steel plate entering the factory to the whole vehicle leaving the factory, the whole process is highly automated, the efficiency is amazing, and it only takes 4 minutes to give birth to a heavy truck.

"If you don't innovate, you will fall behind" is the creed that Ye Lei keeps in mind. For him, the longest battery life of the magic tower 1165 is just the starting point, and it is exciting to install a smart brain on this guy and let it turn on intelligent driving.

With light in your eyes, you will be more determined to pursue your dreams. Thousands of young people like Ye Lei, with the courage to think, dare to do, dare to take responsibility, with innovation as the engine, move forward bravely, every step is sonorous and powerful, is promoting the gorgeous turn of "Made in China" to "Made in China".
