In recent years, with the development of society and economy and the increase in standards for car use by enterprises, high-end light trucks have gradually become the focus of competition among major light truck companies, and the market has grown rapidly. At present, no less than six companies have set foot in or are planning to enter high-end light trucks. At present, China's light trucks have completed the requirements for the emission of State III, and they are now advancing toward the National IV emission standards, which will require full upgrade of the vehicle's power, braking, suspension, and on-board electronics systems. It can be expected that the future high-tech light trucks will become the mainstream of the market, mainly in the following major areas:

Small body hard disk
At present, high-end light trucks have adopted a high-torque monolithic forging front axle, which has high torsional, flexural, and fatigue strengths. The once-stamped frame and stringers are fully riveted, making the vehicle more reliable; usually, light trucks are already The large torque transmission upgraded to a 6-speed transmission is more in line with the matching requirements of high-powered engines. These chassis upgrades will enable light trucks to better adapt to a variety of road conditions, meet the load requirements of different industries, and make them easy for users to accept. In terms of vehicle weight reduction, the use of plastic or aluminum fuel tanks, the use of composite materials, and the use of vacuum tires effectively reduce the weight of the vehicle body and better meet the loading requirements. Double-loop air brake system, spring brake, auxiliary brake system with exhaust, and inductive load-carrying valve make the vehicle's no-load and full-load brake equalization, easy operation, flexible steering, good steering stability, and driving Comfortable. In addition, the aerodynamically designed cab and mirror controls reduce low-frequency noise to make the cab quieter, and to isolate noise inside and outside the moving sound, idle noise and more.

Car design concept
At present, domestic high-end light trucks have fully introduced the concept of car design and introduced the design concept of ergonomics into the truck sector. The concrete manifestation lies in an integrated center console that can be easily operated, and a sound system, air-conditioning control system and so on are centralized. Others such as power windows and doors, power steering; adjustable position seats and adjustable angle steering wheel, make it easier for the driver; the use of large curved windshields, so that the visual effect when driving better, greatly reducing the presence of the blind area ,reduces the accident.
Different appearances
The appearance of the vehicle presents a unique facial feature. Today, many light-card brands still retain the classic Isuzu style, but more and more light-card powerhouses have begun to develop towards their own style. The entire product system has its own unique facial features. In the extension of the models, the subdivision features are more obvious. The high light-duty trucks with high bearing capacity are widely recognized by the market. Such models generally adopt a sleeper structure, which increases the cab space and ensures the comfort of the vehicle. Most of them adopt the shroud design, which integrates the practicality and beauty of the body; between the carriage and the cab, the company's LOGO and its own unique color are integrated to enhance the visual impact.

Fully upgraded power system <br> After entering Phase III of the country, the engines are all equipped with electronically controlled injection systems, while the National IV engine will also be equipped with exhaust gas aftertreatment equipment, which will result in a significant reduction in emissions and noise. In addition, the power of light-duty truck engines also began to increase. For example, Qingling’s 700P product adopts Isuzu’s latest 4HK technology, which has an engine displacement of 5 liters and a maximum power of 175 horsepower, which can better meet the power requirements of the vehicle. The fuel economy has been greatly improved.
In the future, competition among logistics companies will remove the factors of management and management. More competition will depend on the control of operating costs. In the aspect of logistics enterprise cost control, high-end products rely on outstanding quality, low failure rate, and high attendance rate, which can save the company a number of objective points in terms of maintenance costs. Therefore, a high-quality truck product with superior quality is selected for the long-term. On the other hand, we cannot but say that it is a wise decision.
