2017 natural gas heavy trucks
Why is the production of natural gas heavy trucks high in December?
The natural gas truck market in the fourth quarter of 2017 is actually a sweat.
“Monthly Chart of Natural Gas Truck Market in 2014-2017†shows that from November 2016 to October 2017, the natural gas heavy truck market has re-entered the fast growth channel, and the monthly production growth rate is three digits, and the minimum is 200. More than %, more than 900%. The reason for the explosive growth, the first commercial vehicle network has previously stated, including the expansion of oil and gas price differentials, the economics of LNG use is obvious; the low season of coal transportation is not weak; the heavy truck market is stimulated by governance and fixed asset investment, creating a record high (year-round sales) 111.7 million vehicles, which in turn led to the recovery of natural gas heavy truck market segments.
This blowout continued until November 2017, and it came to an abrupt end. The natural gas truck market in that month was only about 6,800 units, which was narrowed to 120% year-on-year and 11% lower. There are many reasons for this. The most important one is the sharp increase in LNG prices in the middle and late November. According to statistics, since mid-November, large-scale LNG prices have risen in Hebei, Henan, Shandong and other places. Since then, there has been a lot of uncontrollable, and there have been 15 (days) consecutive rises, 18 consecutive rises, and short-term corrections at the beginning of December. The triumphant triumphant, all the way up, for 15 days, the LNG ex-factory price in a large number of areas has risen hundreds of dollars or even thousands of yuan / ton, which in turn led to a retail price per kilogram of LNG filling stations higher than the retail price of diesel by more than 2 yuan or even 3 The situation of Yuan Duo. The upside down of oil and gas prices is equivalent to fundamentally subverting the economic advantages of LNG trucks compared to diesel trucks, which has made many LNG truck owners and fleets unaffordable, and their operations have been out of service.
The reason for the continuous increase in LNG prices is actually very simple, that is, the conversion of coal to gas in the northern heating season. In the northern provinces and cities, starting from the heating season in November, according to the requirements of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the large-scale heating from coal burning to burning gas to reduce the smog weather in the north, but unexpectedly, due to the limited annual production of pipeline natural gas in China After the "coal to gas", the demand for civilian natural gas is too strong or even in short supply. Soon, the tight supply of natural gas in the northern region will gradually become more and more, not only the shortage of CNG supply for taxis, but also the difficulty of heating and the promotion of peaks in some places. Cooking situation. The most obvious LNG price for marketization has doubled in January. According to statistics, in November 2017 alone, the price per ton of LNG in the LNG market rose from 4,000 yuan at the beginning of the month to 8,000 yuan at the end of the month. During the period, there was even a 7-day increase of 17%. The market was chaotic. People were not expected.
So why is the output of natural gas heavy trucks high in December?
It is understood that the production of natural gas trucks in December was high, mainly because manufacturers and dealers were optimistic about the market in 2018, so some production and stocking work was done ahead of schedule. It is understood that in early December 2017, in the face of the shortage of natural gas in the northern market, the Ministry of Environmental Protection issued a letter on the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and surrounding cities on December 4th, "Please do a good job in comprehensive management of loose coal to ensure the warmth of the people to work over the winter." The urgent document, which clearly stated, “adhere to the principle of ensuring the warmth of the people to spend the winterâ€, “every project and place that has not been completed, continue to use the past coal-fired heating methods or other alternatives.†In early December, the National Development and Reform Commission It also convened 11 regional related industries including Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia, Ningxia and Xinjiang to hold a warning meeting for LNG price regulations and policies, demanding that no price should be maliciously carried out, and that any other form of price violations and price monopolistic behaviors should not be implemented. The change of policy and wind direction, coupled with the containment of gas price formation in the South-East Gas Movement, began in mid-late December, and the prices of LNG in various places have gradually declined. In some areas, there have even been prices in the latter part of the month. The LNG price situation has turned sharply, and many heavy truck companies and dealers have seen signs that the LNG truck market will continue to develop steadily in 2018. Therefore, companies and dealers are optimistic about the 2018 market, ahead of production and stocking, making LNG truck production in December. With breakthrough progress, a new monthly record has also been created.
