Recently, the factory area of LUYI (LUYI) has been bustling with activity. The custom 3-axle 35,000-liter tanker semi-trailer, which has undergone multiple rounds of debugging and testing, has officially set off for Guinea. This batch of 3-axle 35,000-liter tanker semi-trailers is a core equipment tailor-made by LUYI to address the pain points of Guinea's energy transportation market. From the drafting of R&D blueprints to the completion of production and assembly, every link is centered on local actual needs, demonstrating LUYI's profound accumulation and sense of responsibility in the field of custom special vehicles. With the in-depth advancement of the "Belt and Road" Initiative on the African continent, Guinea, as an important energy hub in West Africa, has an increasingly urgent demand for efficient and reliable transportation equipment. The shipment of LUYI's 3-axle 35,000-liter tanker semi-trailer just provides a customized solution to the local energy transportation problems.
LUYI's R&D team went to Guinea for on-the-spot investigation half a year in advance. The team not only recorded in detail the distribution of local paved and unpaved roads, but also focused on collecting energy transportation data from core scenarios such as mines and oil fields. Based on these first-hand data, the 3-axle 35,000-liter tanker semi-trailer has undergone special optimizations in structural design: the tank body is made of high-strength wear-resistant carbon steel and manufactured through an integral forming process. The thickness of the tank body is 15% higher than that of conventional models, which can not only resist the wear of ore dust, but also withstand the pressure impact under heavy loads. The chassis adopts a reinforced longitudinal beam design, which perfectly matches the 3-axle balanced load-bearing system to scientifically distribute the vehicle's own weight and cargo weight. Even when driving on potholed roads, the 3-axle 35,000-liter tanker semi-trailer can effectively reduce bumps and ensure the stability of the tank body.
Safety and compliance in energy transportation are the top priorities of Guinean customers, and the 3-axle 35,000-liter tanker semi-trailer has achieved dual breakthroughs in these two aspects. In terms of safety configuration, the 3-axle 35,000-liter tanker semi-trailer is equipped with a multi-protection system: an intelligent overflow prevention valve is installed on the top of the tank. When the fuel filling is close to the rated capacity, the 3-axle 35,000-liter tanker semi-trailer will automatically cut off the oil circuit to avoid overflow risks. Emergency shut-off devices are installed on both sides of the tank body. In case of an emergency, the operator can cut off the oil circuit within 3 seconds to minimize safety hazards.
In addition to its outstanding adaptability and safety, the economic advantages of the 3-axle 35,000-liter tanker semi-trailer also meet the needs of the local market. Energy prices in Guinea are relatively high, and the control of transportation costs directly affects the operating income of customers. By optimizing the vehicle's power transmission system and body aerodynamic design, LUYI has reduced the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers of the 3-axle 35,000-liter tanker semi-trailer by 8% compared with similar models. At the same time, the vulnerable parts of the 3-axle 35,000-liter tanker semi-trailer adopt international standard parts with strong versatility. Combined with LUYI's after-sales service center deployed in West Africa, customers can quickly obtain maintenance parts and shorten the vehicle downtime. To help customers better master the vehicle operation skills, LUYI has also specially produced multilingual operation manuals and arranged technical personnel to explain knowledge such as daily maintenance and fault diagnosis of the 3-axle 35,000-liter tanker semi-trailer to Guinean customers through online training, so as to reduce the operating costs of customers in an all-round way.
The 3-axle 35,000-liter tanker semi-trailer shipped this time will mainly serve two core scenarios in Guinea: oil field development and urban energy distribution. In the oil field area in southern Guinea, the 3-axle 35,000-liter tanker semi-trailer will undertake the short-distance transportation task of crude oil from the mining site to the transfer station. The 35,000-liter large-capacity tank can reduce the number of round-trip transportation and improve transportation efficiency. In the capital Conakry and surrounding cities, the 3-axle 35,000-liter tanker semi-trailer will provide stable fuel supply services for gas stations, industrial parks and other places, helping to maintain the normal operation of local urban functions. A representative of Guinean customers said in a video call: "LUYI's custom models have fully considered our actual needs. We believe that the 3-axle 35,000-liter tanker semi-trailer will become the backbone of local energy transportation."
Since entering the African market in 2015, LUYI has always adhered to the product R&D concept of "adapting to local conditions" and has successively customized a variety of special transportation vehicles for customers in South Africa, Nigeria, Tanzania and other countries. The shipment of the 3-axle 35,000-liter tanker semi-trailer to Guinea is another important expansion of LUYI's product matrix in the West African market, and also builds a new bridge for China-Africa logistics cooperation. The person in charge of LUYI's International Trade Department said: "In the future, LUYI will continue to be guided by local market needs, develop more special vehicles suitable for African working conditions, and let high-quality equipment such as the 3-axle 35,000-liter tanker semi-trailer provide support for the infrastructure construction and economic development of more African countries, and strengthen the transportation link along the 'Belt and Road'."
Under the guidance of the "Belt and Road" Initiative, China-Africa economic and trade cooperation has become increasingly close. As an important support for cooperation, the equipment level of logistics transportation directly affects the efficiency of cooperation. The shipment of LUYI's 3-axle 35,000-liter tanker semi-trailer is not only a simple product delivery, but also a vivid practice of Chinese manufacturing technology and services going to Africa. With the put into use of these vehicles in Guinea, LUYI will practice the concept of "quality empowers cooperation" with practical actions, continuously optimize products and services, and make the 3-axle 35,000-liter tanker semi-trailer a witness of China-Africa friendship and cooperation, contributing more to strengthening the Silk Road transport link.
It is understood that in order to ensure the smooth delivery and use of the 3-axle 35,000-liter tanker semi-trailer, LUYI has also established a long-term cooperative relationship with local logistics companies in Guinea, and has planned the transportation route and customs clearance process of the 3-axle 35,000-liter tanker semi-trailer in advance. At the same time, the West African after-sales service center has also completed the spare parts reserve to ensure that the 3-axle 35,000-liter tanker semi-trailer can get a quick response when a fault occurs. This integrated solution of "product + service" has further enhanced LUYI's competitiveness in the African market and laid a solid foundation for the promotion of more custom models in the future.
From R&D to production, from delivery to service, every link of the 3-axle 35,000-liter tanker semi-trailer bears LUYI's commitment to customers and the profound friendship of China-Africa cooperation. Against the background of global economic integration, LUYI will continue to adhere to the original intention of the manufacturing industry, driven by technological innovation and centered on customer needs, and develop more high-quality products like the 3-axle 35,000-liter tanker semi-trailer to provide stronger equipment support for the development of countries along the "Belt and Road", and let the wheels of heavy-load transportation move forward steadily on the Silk Road.
