Recently, a delegation of customers from Peru's energy transportation sector made a special trip to Luyi, Henan Province, to conduct a three-day on-site inspection of local special-purpose vehicle manufacturers. The core target of the inspection was the 3-Axle Oil Tank Semi-Trailers independently developed and produced by Luyi enterprises. This inspection not only serves as an in-depth verification of Luyi's vehicle manufacturing capabilities by Peruvian customers, but also becomes a key opportunity for both parties to build a cooperation bridge. The 3-Axle Oil Tank Semi-Trailers, with performance advantages meeting the needs of the South American market, have been the focus of the inspection throughout the process.
As the core area of the special-purpose vehicle industry cluster in eastern Henan, Luyi has developed a diversified product system led by 3-Axle Oil Tank Semi-Trailers in recent years, relying on the advantages of transportation hubs such as the Beijing-Kowloon Railway and the Daguang Expressway. The inspection team first visited the production workshop of Luyi Runheng Special-Purpose Vehicle Co., Ltd. In front of the intelligent production line, the enterprise's technical director detailed the manufacturing process of the 3-Axle Oil Tank Semi-Trailers — the tank bodies are made of self-produced high-strength special steel for automobiles, equipped with multiple anti-leakage valves and anti-static systems, which fully comply with the technical requirements for vehicle safety specified in Peru's Supreme Decree No. 058. When seeing that the tank welding process adopts robotic automated operations with the welding precision error controlled within 0.1 mm, the Peruvian customer representatives used tape measures to conduct on-site verification and expressed recognition of the process details of the 3-Axle Oil Tank Semi-Trailers.
In the finished product testing area, Peruvian customers focused on the customized design highlights of the 3-Axle Oil Tank Semi-Trailers. During the inspection, the customers also watched the pressure test and anti-rollover simulation test of the 3-Axle Oil Tank Semi-Trailers on site. When the tank body remained leak-free under 1.2 times the rated pressure and reset stably in the 30-degree tilt test, the members of the inspection team nodded in approval and put forward the demand for a test drive on the spot.
To fully understand the manufacturing capabilities of Luyi's special-purpose vehicles, the Peruvian customers also went deep into the core component production workshop of the 3-Axle Oil Tank Semi-Trailers. In the component processing area, the enterprise staff demonstrated the special axles and braking systems for the 3-Axle Oil Tank Semi-Trailers — the axles adopt German imported bearings, which have undergone 1.2 million fatigue tests without damage. The braking system adopts a dual-circuit design; even if a single circuit fails, the other circuit can still work normally to ensure driving safety.
To enable the customers to fully understand the product competitiveness, the enterprise also organized a special technical exchange meeting, focusing on interpreting the international certification advantages of the 3-Axle Oil Tank Semi-Trailers. According to the introduction, the 3-Axle Oil Tank Semi-Trailers produced in Luyi have obtained the ISO 9001 quality system certification and the Euro 6c emission standard certification from the Peruvian Ministry of Environment. Relevant documents can be directly connected to the registration process of the Peruvian Foreign Trade Single Window, greatly shortening the customs clearance time. In response to the after-sales service concerns raised by the customers, the enterprise promised that relying on the parts reserve center established in South America, it will provide lifelong maintenance services for the 3-Axle Oil Tank Semi-Trailers, and key components can be delivered within 48 hours, solving the worries about overseas use.
During the inspection, the Peruvian customers also held discussions with the enterprise's technical team on the upgrading direction of the 3-Axle Oil Tank Semi-Trailers in combination with the characteristics of the local transportation industry. The customers pointed out that there is a problem of scarce gas stations in some areas of Peru, and hoped to add a large-capacity backup fuel tank to the 3-Axle Oil Tank Semi-Trailers; at the same time, local night transportation is frequent, so the lighting system of the vehicles needs to be strengthened. The enterprise's technical director responded on the spot that the above needs can be realized through modular design, which will not increase too much manufacturing cost and can be modified in the existing production process without adjusting the production line layout. The customization flexibility of the 3-Axle Oil Tank Semi-Trailers has been recognized by the customers.
On the last day of the inspection, the two parties held cooperation negotiations in the enterprise conference room. Combining the local market needs, the Peruvian customers put forward customized requirements for adding Spanish operation interfaces and emergency escape devices to the 3-Axle Oil Tank Semi-Trailers. The enterprise's technical team responded on the spot that the modification plan will be submitted within 7 working days. Based on the results of the three-day on-site inspection, the two parties formally signed a letter of intent for cooperation, clarifying the preliminary procurement plan — the first batch of 20 3-Axle Oil Tank Semi-Trailers will be ordered, and the procurement scale will be expanded according to the use feedback in the future. The feasibility of establishing an assembly plant for 3-Axle Oil Tank Semi-Trailers in Peru will also be discussed to reduce the procurement cost of local customers.
The relevant person in charge of Luyi County Bureau of Industry and Information Technology stated that the confirmation of this cooperation intention is another important breakthrough for Luyi's special-purpose vehicle industry to "go global". In recent years, Luyi has guided enterprises to increase R&D investment through policy support, promoting the continuous upgrading of 3-Axle Oil Tank Semi-Trailers. At present, this type of 3-Axle Oil Tank Semi-Trailers has obtained market access certifications in regions such as South America and Africa, and the export volume has maintained a growth rate of more than 20% for three consecutive years. With the advancement of cooperation with Peru, Luyi enterprises will further optimize the service system in the South American market, take 3-Axle Oil Tank Semi-Trailers as the entry point, drive the local special-purpose vehicle industry to form an export synergy, and help Luyi transform from a "special-purpose vehicle manufacturing base" to an "international special-purpose vehicle supplier".
To ensure the smooth progress of the cooperation, the enterprise has established a special project team responsible for the production scheduling, quality inspection and export customs declaration of the first batch of 3-Axle Oil Tank Semi-Trailers. The project leader stated that the production will be strictly in accordance with the customized requirements of Peruvian customers. Each 3-Axle Oil Tank Semi-Trailer will undergo 16 strict inspections to ensure that the delivered products are defect-free. At the same time, the enterprise will also arrange technical personnel to go to Peru with the first batch of goods to provide operation training and commissioning services for the 3-Axle Oil Tank Semi-Trailers for the customers, and make every effort to ensure the successful completion of the first cooperation order, laying a solid foundation of trust for long-term cooperation in the future.
