Shacman diesel fuel tanker: "mobile energy station" in the wave of African infrastructure construction
Between the mines and construction sites on the African continent, the Chinese-made diesel refueling trucks Shacman and Sinotruk are supporting the industrialization process of this hot land with an average daily service efficiency of 50 construction machinery. When the world focuses on the new energy track, Shacman diesel power equipment has written a business legend with an annual growth rate of over 35% in Africa with its reliability and adaptability.
Hard-core technology decoding
1. Power heart: power take-off + gear oil pump
Shacman fuel tank truck transmits the power of the diesel engine to the oil pump through the gearbox, which can form a vacuum pressure of 0.3-0.5MPa in the pipeline, and Shacman fuel truck can achieve 200 liters of fuel delivery per minute. This modular design is suitable for mainstream chassis such as Sinotruk and Shacman, and the four-wheel drive and six-wheel drive versions can conquer 30° slope terrain.
2. Intelligent "blood vessel" system
The pipeline network composed of four-position three-way ball valves of the fuel tank truck can realize 8 operating modes through 12 valve combinations. The explosion-proof filter of Shacman oil tank truck can intercept 98% of sand and dust particles. The closed circulation system specially designed by Shacman makes the oil-fuel mixing uniformity reach 95%, which is 25% more energy-efficient than the traditional mode.
3. Double-layer protective armor
The 5mm special steel plate tank of the oil tank truck is equipped with an electrostatic grounding belt, which remains stable at a high temperature of 50°C. The actual test data in Nigeria shows that the anti-leakage performance of the fuel tanker is 18% higher than the international standard, which perfectly adapts to the bumpy road conditions in Africa.
Golden rules for African operations
1. Terrain adaptation
The Ethiopian Plateau needs to choose a chassis with a ground clearance of ≥250mm; the IP67 waterproof circuit system should be configured in the rainy season in West Africa. According to feedback from users in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the stability of slope operation of the Shacman fuel tanker is improved by 40% after the hydraulic balance device is installed.
2. Maintenance tips
In the Sahara region, the air filter should be replaced every 5,000 kilometers, and the tank welds should be checked monthly during the rainy season. Data from the Ghana project shows that the strict implementation of the 200-hour lubrication cycle of Shacman Fuel Tank Truck can extend the life of the gear pump to 7,000 hours.
3. Localization transformation
In view of the characteristics of high-sulfur diesel in Africa, Shacman Fuel Tank Truck recommends ceramic-coated oil pipes; hand-cranked emergency pumps can be optionally equipped in areas with unstable power. The case of Angola shows that such transformation reduces the failure rate by 55%.
New blue ocean market with a population of 1.4 billion
1. Infrastructure demand has exploded
According to the report of the African Development Bank, there will be more than 380 large-scale infrastructure projects under construction in Africa in 2024, and the road density will be only 1/10 of that in China. In the central corridor of Tanzania, a single refueling truck serves 45 devices per day, with a gross profit margin of more than 30%.
2. Energy transformation opportunities
South Africa has mandated a 30% reduction in emissions for construction machinery, and demand for biofuel tank trucks has surged; Egypt's subsidies for LNG fuel trucks have reduced the investment payback period to 20 months.
3. China's smart manufacturing advantages
Compared with European products, Chinese fuel tanker trucks are 40% cheaper and have a 2-month faster delivery cycle. After the Zambian copper mine used the Sinotruk customized fleet, the refueling radius of the mine area was reduced from 30 kilometers to 3 kilometers, saving $1.5 million in annual costs.
From the mines in the Sahara to the railway network in East Africa, the shacman fuel tanker truck is becoming the "energy artery" of Africa's industrialization process. This is not only a business opportunity, but also a model of China-Africa technical cooperation. Seizing the demand of this hot land is to seize the growth engine for the next decade.
