Escort the countrys food security Weichai Lovol extends its strength to the fields

The rumbling sound of the machine battles for three summers, and the party flag is red during the wheat harvest season. With the continuous maturation of wheat from south to north and from east to west across the country, the Lovol Valley God harvester chased the yellow wheat waves and rolled forward. A Weichai Lovol Three Summer cross regional service team consisting of more than 1000 mobile service vehicles and more than 4000 personnel, known as the "Thirty Character Army", once again embarked on their "Three Summer Road".

Busy on the 'last mile' of harvest

The 'Thirty Character Army' is a group of people chasing after the harvest, and also a group of 'food security guards' guarding the prosperity of the great country. Every year, the "Three Verticals and One Horizontal" initiative spans 19 provinces and regions. By the end of the summer of 2024, the total service mileage has reached nearly 100 million kilometers, and they have measured a capital "Feng" character on the land of China with their footsteps.

Chongming Island, located at the mouth of the Yangtze River, is the third largest island in China. A small team of the "Thirty Character Army" stationed on the island, consisting of one spare parts mobile vehicle, three mobile service vehicles, and eight service engineers, arrives on the island from April to the end of June every year after the "busy harvest and transplanting" period ends before leaving.

We arrived here at the end of April this year and will be stationed here for more than two months. This is the busiest time on the island, with wheat harvesting, rice transplanting, tractor rotary tillage and pulping... All operations need to be carried out smoothly. Wherever there is a good harvest, we will appear. Service team member Zhang Lianhai introduced.

In a series of battles against the heavens for a bountiful harvest, each of them drove an average of over 300 kilometers per day. They are accustomed to going out early and returning late, enduring wind and rain.

The "Three Summers" are also the golden window period for R&D personnel to conduct field experiments. In addition to the "Thirty Character Army", another field experiment "special forces" composed of several young PhDs, R&D backbone, and trial production personnel also pursued a bountiful harvest during the Three Summers period and were active in the fields.

In the golden wheat field, they were under the scorching sun above their heads, fully armed and chasing after the agricultural machinery with bran. In order to obtain accurate data, at the same testing site, the testing personnel need to repeatedly test at different time periods in the morning, middle, and evening, and each vehicle needs to repeat more than 70 tests. In the unobstructed wheat field, the sun shone fiercely, and the air was filled with the smell of sunburn. Even if the experimenters were fully wrapped, there would still be some wheat awns, dust, and sweat mixed into their clothes.

Running and persevering under high temperatures, they only aim to root their scientific research in the soil, use the most reliable data to improve the performance of agricultural machinery and iteratively upgrade products, ensure the return of wheat grains to the warehouse, and write agricultural machinery papers on the ground.

During the wheat harvest season, the footprints of this field experimental "special forces" spread throughout wheat harvest areas in Sichuan, Henan, Shandong, Gansu, Xinjiang and other regions. Like the Thirty Character Army, they are all a group of people chasing after "abundance", rushing on the "last mile" of the harvest.

The power of party building extends to the 'last mile' of the field

If we say that as the first brand of agricultural machinery in China, ensuring the efficient operation of a large group of agricultural machinery and providing services wherever customers go is the spiritual gene flowing in the blood of Weichai Lovol people. So guarding the prosperity of the great country and filling Chinese rice bowls with Chinese grain, then
