Be the “load bearer” of safe travel
Walking into Qingte Industrial Park, the eight characters “Chinese Axles, Made in Qingte” come into view.
The axle is also called the axle. If the engine is compared to the heart of the car, then the axle is the two legs of the car. It is connected to the frame through the suspension, and all the loads are borne by the axle. The steering axle installed on the front wheels of the car plays the role of driving the car to turn; the drive axle installed on the rear wheels of the car drives the car forward.
Axles are the core business of Qingte Group. Traditional axles are mainly divided into four categories: steering axles, drive axles, steering drive axles, and supporting axles. Qingte axle products cover almost all levels of axles in these four types, with an annual production capacity of 1.1 million sets, which can meet the application matching needs of light, medium and heavy commercial vehicles.
In recent years, new energy vehicles have developed by leaps and bounds and continue to seize market share. Under the new market situation, Qingte has focused on the development of new energy electric drive systems. In the past five years, it has undertaken and participated in 5 provincial and municipal key new energy R&D projects, and has received key support from Shandong Province and Qingdao City.
For new energy commercial vehicles, Qingte has developed a series of integrated electric drive axles with loads ranging from 2 tons to 16 tons. Unlike the role of traditional axles, this electric drive axle is more “all-round”. It has a motor, a reducer, and a transmission module, “equivalent to integrating the functions of the engine, gearbox, axle, etc. of traditional vehicles into one”, and is Qingte’s strategic product for the future.
Finished axle products
Relying on brand manufacturing and innovative breakthroughs to continuously climb to the top of the industry, Qingte Axle has firmly controlled the upstream of the industry with its product advantages such as light weight, reliable quality, and high cost performance, and has become the preferred axle supporting manufacturer for well-known automobile manufacturers such as FAW Jiefang, Foton Motor, and Mercedes-Benz Daimler. The domestic market share has reached more than 20%, which not only provides a “bottom line” for the safe driving of commercial vehicles, but also drives the development of the domestic manufacturing industry.
Deeply cultivate the field of special vehicles
Be the “guardian” of urban scenery
For many years, Qingte Group has insisted on “walking on two legs”. While expanding and strengthening its axle products, it has also actively expanded its special vehicle production business.
Special vehicles refer to cars equipped with special equipment and professional functions. Sprinklers and garbage trucks responsible for urban appearance, power supply trucks capable of emergency rescue, fire trucks rushing to the front line of fire… Special vehicles can be found everywhere around us.
Qingte Group’s special vehicles include municipal sanitation, municipal power, road transportation, engineering, emergency command and other products. Under the model of focusing on independent research and development and cooperative research and development, Qingte, on the premise of ensuring quality and quantity, expands and strengthens the market segments, actively explores emerging markets, launches a variety of “customized” products that meet market demand, and continues to seize market share.
For example, in order to serve the local standards for slag transportation in Qingdao, Qingte and FAW Jiefang jointly developed the fuel version and pure electric version of the “Qingdao Landmark Edition” slag dump truck. As new energy vehicles become the general trend, Qingte is also actively developing new energy special vehicles and intelligent business, and developing new energy second-class chassis modified sanitation vehicles and electric vehicles.
“Focus on products, make products refined; focus on the market, expand the market”, since entering the field of special vehicles in 1992, Qingte Group has been deeply involved in this industry for a full 30 years. Over the years, Qingte has produced nearly 150,000 special vehicles, ranking among the top in the electric vehicle industry, being a backbone in the municipal sanitation industry, and having a high reputation in the engineering transportation industry, and walking at the forefront of the domestic special vehicle industry.
