Ford plans to change "core"

With the 2016F-650 and 2017F-750 markets, Ford has gradually gained a firm foothold in the China Card market and has gained a deeper understanding of customer needs. Mike Levine, head of Ford, said that what customers are looking for is a product that has a wide range of uses and features. A truck should meet a variety of job requirements and can accomplish different tasks at the same time. On this basis, if the driving comfort of the car is high and the interior space is spacious, the customer will be more satisfied. Therefore, Ford will adjust its own product line accordingly, to create the ideal choice for customers.


Speaking of future Ford's R&D focus, Levine said that in 2016 Ford will target gasoline engine R&D. With the drop in fuel prices, the advantages of gasoline engines have been highlighted. The company is trying to find ways to use existing diesel engines to retrofit gasoline engines. Levine further explained that users are interested in the gasoline engine not only because of its easy modification, but also that the hardened valve and seat are more durable, and the residual value after the life cycle is greater.

To prepare for the transition to the gasoline engine, Ford replaced the Navistar V8 diesel engine that had been used since the 1980s and replaced it with a 6.7-liter PowerStroke V8 turbocharged diesel designed by Ford and equipped with a TorqShiftHD gearbox.

In addition to preparing for the replacement of the gasoline engine, Ford also paid attention to the private customization of this market. In order to meet the needs of the conversion, Ford has reserved the corresponding area from the cab to the axle. The new models introduced have special punching systems. This not only saves conversion time, but also guarantees the accuracy of the subsequent installation of parts and improves the assembly quality of the vehicle.

Reduce costs and increase benefits Freightliner values ​​"private customization"


Freight companies often have to consider a variety of factors when buying a car. It is not simply the price that determines whether a company purchases a car, but the price/performance of the car. Does it meet the fleet operation requirements? Mary Aufdemberg, Freightliner's director of marketing, said that today's trucking companies are more practical in buying trucks.

Telematics technology is similar to domestic "car networking", which can improve driving safety, fuel economy, driving pleasure and fleet management efficiency. This kind of vehicle-mounted intelligent terminal is the direction of Mitsubishi's future technology research and development, but Mitsubishi said that it may be the first to choose to carry such a system on a heavy truck and then apply it to a mid-tier card.

In addition to focusing on actual business growth, today's freight companies pay more attention to the control of vehicle costs. For actual needs, they will purchase different models. At this time, they often choose medium-sized cards rather than heavy trucks. Therefore, the marketing of China Card will be the focus of next year.

Finally, Mitsubishi also agreed that customization will become the direction of development of the industry and become more and more common. The customer's demand for products is diversified and technological advancement provides them with more choice opportunities. All of this makes private customization no longer extravagant.

Of course, if customers have special requirements for electronic systems, they will also be modified.


Compared with commercial pickups, today's users generally favor medium-sized trucks. Webb also gave its own opinion. He believes that this is due to the comfortableness of the Chinese card, low noise of the engine, and reasonable design of the interior space to meet the freight needs. Talking about the development trend of China Card, he said that with the popularization of automatic transmissions and various electronic assistance systems (such as: telematics and tracking systems and collision mitigation systems), China Card will become more “intelligent” and focus on Ensure driving safety.

Peterbilt has even launched a special model that allows people with normal driving licenses to drive so that the team does not have to hire professional drivers.

Peterbilt cooperates with many top-loading factories to produce chassis that can be matched with trucks and other engineering vehicles. The installation is quick and easy, and it can adapt to different working conditions and meet the needs of users.

Through the development strategies of several mainstream American car companies in 2016, it is not difficult to see that “customization” has become the general direction of the future development of China Card. Whether it is to replace an efficient power configuration, optimize the chassis design, increase product lines, apply digital information technology, or even establish a professional-quality marketing team, the purpose of car companies is only one, that is, to meet the needs of customers personalized, diverse, Let it obtain better products and better service experience, so as to open up the market and win opportunities in a highly competitive environment.
