Chunlan recently announced its plan to invest significantly in building a preliminary support system for truck parts by next year. This move aims to address the growing demand for high-quality, reliable components as the company expands its product range and market presence.
During the "10th Five-Year Plan" period, Chunlan introduced a wide range of trucks, including haulage, van-type, self-unloading, canopy-style, and warehouse-grid models, with payloads ranging from 3 to 19 tons and tractions from 22 to 35 tons. The company launched six new models and over 200 variations of trucks, greatly enriching the domestic truck market and raising the overall standards of truck manufacturing in China.
After the launch of these products, Chunlan's trucks played a key role in setting benchmarks for quality and innovation. From 2002 to 2006, the company's medium-sized trucks consistently ranked among the top performers, marking a significant achievement in the industry. However, as the design of new trucks evolved, the existing spare parts supply system struggled to keep up. Many external manufacturers faced challenges in meeting the technical and design requirements of Chunlan’s new components, leading to insufficient reserves and delays in production.
This gap in the supply chain became a bottleneck for the rapid growth of Chunlan's truck business. To overcome this, the company decided to build its own truck parts support system, combining global procurement with the use of local resources to ensure efficiency and reliability.
The proposed system includes joint development with component manufacturers through equity participation and technical investment. It also involves the autonomous development of critical components such as axles and gearboxes, using continuous, intelligent, and information-driven processes. Synchronous design and manufacturing will be implemented to achieve a 100% match between complete vehicles and their parts. Additionally, several large-scale truck parts distribution centers will be established, ensuring that parts within 500 kilometers are delivered within 24 hours, and those beyond 500 kilometers within 48 hours. This initiative is expected to significantly improve the speed and reliability of after-sales support and strengthen Chunlan's competitive edge in the global truck market.
