Yesterday, Dalian Zhuanghe Power Swap Station, an important node of Dalian's "zero-carbon urban logistics" network, was put into operation, marking the official opening of China's first green intercity light truck transportation line "Danda Line". The dedicated line relies on the four-in-one zero-carbon logistics transportation model and ecological and service advantages of "car, station, electricity, and network" to optimize the iterative plan of intercity logistics and transportation, promote the green transformation of the intercity logistics network, and help reduce costs and increase efficiency in the transportation and logistics field. Energy conservation and emission reduction, and sustain green and low-carbon development.

Under the guidance of the national "dual carbon" goal, commercial vehicles are accelerating their electrification transformation. The demand for rapid energy replenishment, cost reduction and efficiency improvement brought about by continuous high-intensity transportation in the urban logistics and distribution industry has attracted much attention. The battery swap model has gradually become an important choice for pure electric light trucks. Based on this background and concept, Dalian Urban Construction Investment Group Co., Ltd. will "settle" in the field of new energy vehicle infrastructure construction in 2022, explore the construction of an innovative source ecosystem, and create a "global network of charging and swapping infrastructure" project. Huipeng Battery Swap, a leading enterprise in the field of battery swap, established Dalian Urban Investment Huipeng Battery Swap Technology Development Co., Ltd. by holding a holding company.

During the event, the staff demonstrated the entire process of battery replacement on the spot. I saw a Jiefang Tiger G6 light truck slowly driving into the battery swap channel. After stopping and positioning, the robotic arms on both sides of the station began to work. One side removed the depleted battery from the battery compartment, and the other side simultaneously charged the fully charged battery. The battery is delivered and installed on the vehicle chassis, and the mechanical process of battery swap only takes 1 minute. It takes about 3 minutes from the time the vehicle enters the battery swap station to the time it leaves. The driver does not need to get off the bus throughout the process. After the car is "fully charged and revived", it can range 240 kilometers. "Zhuanghe Battery Swap Station adopts Huipeng Battery Swap's latest fourth-generation intelligent battery swap technology, with an automatic battery swap rate as high as 99%. Using battery swap light trucks to travel between Dalian and Dandong can save nearly 50% of fuel costs every day." said LAM Raymond, general manager of Chengtou Huipeng.

Zhang Zongmin, deputy general manager of the Municipal Urban Investment Group, said that the Municipal Urban Investment Group will invest 250 million yuan to build 50 new energy urban logistics vehicle battery swap stations, promote more than 20,000 battery swap light truck logistics vehicles, and fully cover the city's logistics service field. Build a new model of zero-carbon development.

It is reported that 500 Jiefang Tiger G6 battery-swapping light trucks will be put on the market, of which about 200 will be put into the Danda transportation line, and leasing and sales contracts will be completed with logistics and transportation companies in Danda and Danda on site. The Danda intercity light truck transportation dedicated line model will also be replicated and promoted to Shenyang, Yingkou, Benxi, Panjin and other cities to create a battery swap network layout for the Liaodong Peninsula and comprehensively promote the new energy vehicle industry and intercity transportation and logistics fields to enter the "battery swap era" new track.
