中国重卡企业正在尝试通过整车匹配和新材料应用,试图在轻量化技术上走得更远。如空气悬挂、铝合金、真空胎的使用等等,但核心技术的缺失让中国重卡轻量化之路步履维艰,甚至被质疑为“妖孽”。此外,中国运输市场的现状和用户的承受能力,却也实实在在限制了企业将研发成果转换成实际技术应用的脚步。在整车轻量化核心技术缺失的情况下,重卡和零部件厂商决定走另一条折中之路——零部件轻量 Chinese heavy truck companies are trying to use vehicle matching and new materials applications, trying to go further in the lightweight technology. Such as the use of air suspension, aluminum alloy and vacuum tire, etc. However, the lack of core technology has made it difficult for China’s heavy truck to lose weight and is even challenged as a “demon”. In addition, the status quo of China’s transport market and the affordability of users actually limit the pace at which enterprises can convert R & D results into practical technologies. In the absence of core technology lightweight vehicle, heavy truck and parts manufacturers decided to take another compromise - the lightweight components
