Brief Introduction To The Development History And Future Prospect Of The Underground Mining Locomotive Industry

Underground mining locomotive is a kind of traction equipment for rail vehicle transportation. The power is to use the traction motor to drive the wheel to rotate. With the help of the friction between the wheel and the rail surface, the locomotive can run on the track. According to the structure, they are divided into stringing electric locomotive and battery electric locomotive. Narrow gauge electric locomotive and its supporting electric motor control are the leading products of traction electrical equipment industry.

It has been 138 years since Siemens made the first 4.5kw mine electric locomotive in 1882. In China, it has a history of production and development for about 60 years. During this period, more than 50 specifications of two series of stringing electric locomotives and battery locomotives have been developed and produced in batches. The products are distributed in coal mines, metallurgical mines, railway and highway tunnels and municipal engineering construction sites.

Electric locomotive plays a huge role in the construction and development of China's mining industry. In the early stage, most of the products are still at the level of 70-80's because the enterprises affiliated to the traction electrical equipment branch have little investment in product technology development. At the same time, the emerging private enterprises also occupy part of the market share. With China's accession to the WTO, foreign companies also aim at China's market, making the market competition more intense.

The lack of famous brand products with independent intellectual property rights in China's electric locomotive not only affects the status of China's electric vehicle sanitation electric vehicle in the world; most of China's electric vehicle enterprises lack scientific and strict management in production, and the high production cost due to serious environmental pollution leads to the corresponding increase in the price of electric vehicle, but also seriously affects the economic benefits of enterprises.

Therefore, in order to win a certain market share in the fierce domestic market competition and expand to the foreign market, it is necessary to carry out technological innovation and improve the technical content of products. In the past 20 years, the development of power electronics technology has made rapid progress, and also the development of electric vehicle technology has made rapid progress.

From the perspective of the whole electric locomotive industry, the market space is still large, so the electric vehicle price can also be adjusted accordingly. Although the electric vehicle industry is a "sunset industry" in Europe and the United States, it is still a "sunrise industry" in China and will have great development. The U.S. financial tsunami has an impact on China's ceramic industry, but it's not as big or as scary as you think. China has the ability to easily overcome this economic disaster. With the further improvement of the development environment of China's electric vehicle industry, the industry as a whole will further improve.
