Under the opportunity of transnational logistics cooperation in the "Belt and Road Initiative", Luyi's production base recently completed the preparations for the transnational delivery of the first batch of 5-axle 100-ton side wall and fence semi-trailers. After on-site acceptance by Saudi Arabian customer representatives, 15 customized vehicles were escorted by a professional cross-border logistics team, loaded from Tianjin Port and shipped to Jizan Port in Saudi Arabia. The 5-axle 100-ton side wall and fence semi-trailers exported this time are high-end models jointly developed by Luyi and Germany's Bosch Group. In response to the high-temperature and salt-fog-rich coastal transportation environment in Saudi Arabia, the frame of the 5 axle 100 ton side wall and fence semi-trailer adopts a hot-dip galvanizing anti-corrosion process, and the side wall and fence are made of marine-grade wear-resistant aluminum alloy. This not only extends the anti-corrosion life of the vehicle body to 8 years but also reduces the body weight by 15%, making the 5-axle 100-ton side wall and fence semi-trailer more fuel-efficient and durable in heavy-load transportation.
The Chief Technology Officer of Luyi elaborated in a transnational technical exchange conference that the axle control system of the 5-axle 100-ton side wall and fence semi-trailer adopts an intelligent distributed design. The 5 axles can automatically adjust the load-bearing ratio according to the road slope, avoiding the problem of "uneven axle load" on mountain roads in Saudi Arabia, and at the same time complying with the local freight regulations that "the load per axle does not exceed 11.5 tons". The side wall and fence are innovatively equipped with an electric lifting device, and the opening and closing of the fence can be controlled through a mobile app, which is 3 times more efficient than traditional manual operation. It can not only meet the needs of bulk grain transportation in large Saudi farms but also adapt to the loading and unloading scenarios of heavy machinery in ports, making the 5-axle 100-ton side wall and fence semi-trailer a "versatile freight expert" suitable for multiple scenarios. In addition, the 5 axle 100 ton side wall and fence semi trailer is also equipped with a GPS + Beidou dual-mode positioning system, which can monitor the vehicle's position, load status, and fuel consumption data in real-time, facilitating refined management by Saudi logistics companies.
To ensure that the 5-axle 100-ton side wall and fence semi-trailer successfully passes the Saudi Arabian GSO certification, Luyi's certification team spent 4 months completing 7 core tests including vehicle collision tests and high-temperature durability tests. Among them, the braking performance of the 5-axle 100-ton side wall and fence semi-trailer remains more than 90% effective in a high-temperature environment of 70°C, far exceeding the GSO certification standards. During the production process, each frame of the 5 axle 100 ton side wall and fence semi trailer undergoes 3D coordinate measurement to ensure that the wheelbase error does not exceed 3mm, and the splicing gap of the side wall and fence is controlled within 2mm. The stability of the 5-axle 100-ton side wall and fence semi-trailer is guaranteed through strict process standards. The General Manager of Luyi's Overseas Business Department stated that the export of the 5-axle 100-ton side wall and fence semi-trailer to Saudi Arabia is an important breakthrough in Luyi's technological internationalization and has also built a new bridge for China-Saudi Arabia cooperation in logistics equipment.
Saudi Arabia has been accelerating the promotion of its "National Logistics Strategy" in recent years, planning to build itself into a logistics hub in the Middle East by 2030. In 2024 alone, 12,000 new heavy freight vehicles will be needed. After being put into use, the 5 axle 100 ton side wall and fence semi trailer will focus on serving the transportation in the phosphate mining areas in northern Saudi Arabia. Its 100-ton load capacity can realize direct transportation from "mines to ports", reducing intermediate transshipment links and helping mining enterprises reduce logistics costs by 25%. In the construction project of Saudi Arabia's new airport, the 5-axle 100-ton side wall and fence semi-trailer can transport large terminal steel structures, solving the problem that traditional vehicles "cannot carry heavy loads or transport quickly". Mohammed, Logistics Director of Saudi logistics giant Aramex Group, said that the intelligent configuration and durability of the 5-axle 100-ton side wall and fence semi-trailer fully meet the group's needs for efficient freight equipment, and plans to add 20 more units to the purchase order in the future.
The achievement of this cooperation on the 5 axle 100 ton side wall and fence semi trailer stems from the strategic signing between Luyi and Saudi National Logistics Company (SAL). The two parties agreed to jointly develop a series of heavy-duty semi-trailer products suitable for the Middle East market within the next 5 years, and the 5-axle 100-ton side wall and fence semi-trailer is the first project to be implemented. To provide good localized services, Luyi will set up a technical service center at Dammam Port in Saudi Arabia to provide services such as free first maintenance and regular inspections for the 5-axle 100-ton side wall and fence semi-trailer, and train 50 local technical personnel to achieve "localization" of after-sales response. The Director of Luyi's R&D Center revealed that the next step will be to add a solar auxiliary power supply system to the 5-axle 100-ton side wall and fence semi-trailer to drive on-board monitoring and refrigeration equipment, better adapting to the high-temperature freight scenarios in Saudi Arabia.
From transnational R&D to localized services, every link of the 5-axle 100-ton side wall and fence semi-trailer embodies Luyi's "global thinking". As the 5-axle 100-ton side wall and fence semi-trailer is gradually put into operation in Saudi Arabia, Luyi will continue to collect feedback from local users, optimize product performance, and strive to make the 5-axle 100-ton side wall and fence semi-trailer a benchmark product in the heavy freight market in the Middle East. At the same time, based on this cooperation, Luyi will expand into other markets in the Middle East, allowing more "Made in China" heavy-duty semi-trailers to助力 the upgrading of logistics and infrastructure industries in the Middle East.
