How To Improve Competition In The Domestic Mining Electric Locomotive Industry

With the continuous development of technology in the electric locomotive industry, the electric locomotive market is particularly fierce. Whether companies and investors can make timely and effective market decisions is the key to success. It is understood that the domestic market for mining narrow gauge locomotive is currently in excess of demand, the industry has excess production capacity, and the market is fiercely competitive. Under normal circumstances, the production of complete vehicles is at a loss, while the production of spare parts is marginal. For the domestic mining electric locomotive market, the following tasks should be focused on:

1. Attaching Importance To The Coal Industry
In China's energy structure, coal used for power is the largest, accounting for 70% of the national coal consumption. At present, China's power industry constitutes the majority of thermal power, and coal consumption for power accounts for about 61% of the national consumption. Among power coals, the growth of coal for the power industry is large and stable. Therefore, the demand for the coal industry will be long-term and strategic. During the Ninth Five-Year Plan period, coal production reached 1.4 billion tons, half of which were produced by state-owned key coal mines, and the rest were produced by state-owned local coal mines, township coal mines, and small individual coal mine kilns. The annual demand for mining electric locomotives is 500-800 Around the stage.

2. Electrical Control Update Is Too Slow
So far, 80% of mining narrow gauge locomotive produced in China still use relatively high energy consumption resistance starting control methods, while the use of chopper speed regulating devices is not widespread, and the use of AC AC frequency speed regulating systems is only a special case. The reason is that the reliability of these energy-efficient advanced systems has yet to be improved, and prices have to be reduced. The use and maintenance conditions and levels of the product need to be improved simultaneously, and should be compatible with the technical content of the product.

3. Poor Quality Of Mechanical Transmission System Components
The main problem is that the gear has a low life and generally has a large design content. The main reason is that the manufacturing level is low, such as the precision is not up to the requirements, and the quality of heat treatment is low. Especially for most small private enterprises, the product quality needs to be greatly improved.

4. Concepts Cannot Keep Up With The Situation
The shape of the vehicle is not exquisite, the appearance is poor, and the color is monotonous.
