In the face of dual challenges of cost reduction and efficiency improvement, as well as environmental protection policies in the current transportation industry, natural gas vehicles have emerged as the preferred choice for many truck drivers due to their unique economic and environmental advantages. However, with the fluctuation of natural gas prices, many drivers are beginning to worry whether natural gas vehicles can still bring the expected cost-saving effects, and which model of natural gas vehicle can be more energy-efficient. In response to this, JAC Heavy Duty Trucks has partnered with a transport company in Shanxi Province to conduct an in-depth test of their JAC Starry X5 natural gas vehicle to verify its performance in actual operation.
The test was conducted by experienced driver Zhang Mangming, driving the JAC Starry X5 from Tianjin to Wuhan, covering a distance of over 1150 kilometers and various operational scenarios. Team leader Niu Zhiqing stated that the choice of JAC Starry X5 was based on trust in the JAC Heavy Duty Trucks brand. Previously, the team had used JAC oil vehicles, which had proven to be reliable in quality, low fuel consumption, and excellent service, prompting them to choose the JAC brand again.
The test results showed that the JAC Starry X5 excelled in energy cost performance. Despite the recent rise in natural gas prices, this natural gas vehicle can still save over 0.5 yuan per kilometer compared to oil vehicles in the north, and over 0.3 yuan in the south. The JAC Starry X5 can also save 1000 yuan per month in urea costs, further reducing operating costs. Team leader Niu said that since purchasing the vehicle in July this year, this natural gas vehicle has brought significant savings to the team.
In addition to its economic benefits, the JAC Starry X5 has also won praise from Zhang师傅 for its comfort and driving experience. He said the cab of the vehicle has ample space, and the operational system is well laid out, making it easy to operate. During long-haul driving, the noise reduction and shock absorption performance of the cab also left him very satisfied. Zhang师傅, who is 1.83 meters tall, can move around freely in the cab, with a spacious and comfortable bunk, allowing him to get enough rest during transportation.
Zhang师傅 also summarized three worry-free advantages of the JAC Starry X5: first, the vehicle has a high availability rate and stable performance, allowing it to depart at any time with an order; second, the 600L+600L dual gas bottle design provides a driving range of over 2400km, avoiding the need to frequently find gas stations during long-haul transportation; lastly, natural gas vehicles are cleaner and easier to maintain than oil vehicles, creating a more comfortable driving environment.
The excellent performance of the JAC Starry X5 has not only won recognition from the team and Zhang师傅 but has also earned a good reputation in the market. Team leader Niu said that in the future purchase plan of the team, JAC Starry X5 will be given priority consideration. Zhang师傅 also said that this is the most satisfying vehicle he has ever driven, which is worry-free and labor-saving, allowing him to earn money more comfortably.
