URUMQI, China, June 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Hanvan, the heavy
truck brand launched by XCMG, the world's leading construction
machinery manufacturer, has won the Golden Helmut Medal after 13
days of competition under extreme weather and road conditions at
the 2018 Taklimakan Rally (the "Rally").
The only truck models in the Rally, the Hanvan Motorcade was
made up of vehicles developed by XCMG and Qian'an Jiujiang
Motorcycle Club, the largest-scale and highest-ranking team in
China. It featured a Hanvan G7 6X4
tractor truck with 500 horsepower, a Hanvan G7 6X4 with 460
horsepower and a G7 natural gas car with 430 horsepower.
"The extraordinary performance of the Hanvan series of vehicles
at the 2018 Taklimakan Rally demonstrate the superior quality of
our line of products, and their ability to operate in, and conquer,
extreme operating conditions. They are shining examples of our
'advanced and durable' gold standard, and also demonstrate XCMG's
goal of producing elite products for civilian use," said
Donghai Luo, the GM Assistant of
XCMG.
"The Hanvan G series heavy trucks have a unique squirrel-type
structure with a unibody design of the left and right doors. The
models are equipped with bumper beams and strengthened door beams
made of 73 percent
high-strength plate, a safety standard that measures up to
strict European ECE R29 regulations," Donghai added.
Starting in Urumqi, the Rally's route followed the ancient Silk
Road and featured 10 stages spread
across 2,769 kilometers. Each motorcade completed the journey on the bumpy Gobi Desert under
atrociously hot weather conditions while maintaining high speeds
and performing a 360-degree
spin in the air.
When faced with severe collisions, the heavy truck's leading
crash, impact and top pressure resistance capabilities assured the
safety of the driver. Developed with a forward-thinking strategy,
meticulous management, strong product quality and hardware support
capabilities, the new-generation XCMG Hanvan heavy truck brand has
been a leader in the industry since its release.
The Hanvan heavy truck's four-spot, full-floating air bag shock
absorbing cabin and airbag seating also reduced the effects of the
rough and bumpy ride for the drivers and greatly reduced
fatigue.
The series also has strong chassis designs that enabled the
trucks to perform well in the Rally. XCMG's world-leading chassis
manufacturing capability features specialized technology that
allows it to design and build a comprehensive product line-up.
Per the company's strong strength in chassis production, XCMG
acquired Chunlan Automobile in 2008 to make an entry in the heavy
truck sector and established the largest-scale, most intelligent
heavy truck factory in China in
2015.
