As the world faces increasing energy shortages and environmental pollution issues, the demand for energy-saving and environmentally friendly requirements for special vehicles is also rising. Lightweight vehicles have become one of the development directions for enterprises and a hallmark of the technological advancement of manufacturers and countries.

As a leading enterprise in the concrete mixer truck market share in the province, Zhongtong Special Vehicles has been committed to the lightweight design of the whole vehicle and has achieved significant results. Taking the Zhongtong 12-cubic-meter concrete mixer truck, which is currently favored by customers in the market, as an example, a lightweight energy-saving and environmentally friendly design plan for this model was developed through preliminary policy research, market research in different regions, and detailed analysis of product structure. Firstly, in terms of the superstructure, three technical approaches were used to lighten the whole vehicle: one is the use of lightweight materials, including the optimized use of metals, alloys, and composite materials; the second is the lightweight design and optimization of the structure, such as the optimized application of inclined supports, new-style inclined tension members, and pneumatic control; the third is advanced manufacturing and processing technology, such as the use of advanced splicing and inclined tension member welding methods, which make the appearance neat and elegant, and the streamlined layout more characteristic of Zhongtong, simplifying the on-site welding workload at the assembly station and significantly improving production efficiency. The improved concrete mixer truck superstructure is over 400 kilograms lighter than the standard 12-cubic-meter mixer truck superstructure. In terms of chassis selection, a new LNG mixer truck chassis was chosen to match it, making it more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly during use. A regular LNG concrete mixer truck saves about 30% in fuel costs per kilometer compared to the same diesel mixer truck, and with the lightweight superstructure of the Zhongtong concrete mixer truck, this figure will reach 40%, providing significant savings and efficiency for customers.

As the lightweight design of Zhongtong Special Vehicles continues to advance, it will have more advantages in future market competition. As a responsible and accountable enterprise with over forty years of professional experience in automobile manufacturing, the lightweight design of the whole vehicle has become a necessity to enhance Zhongtong's competitiveness, and it is also an urgent task for energy conservation and emission reduction, as well as for building a beautiful China.
