Weichai Lovol creates the leading paradigm of smart agriculture

Agriculture is the foundation of all industries.     Agricultural power is the foundation of a socialist modern power. It is inseparable from agricultural development to meet the people's needs for a better life, achieve high-quality development and consolidate the foundation of national security.

Agricultural power, agricultural machinery first. At a time when the population is aging, the countryside is hollowing out, and young people are increasingly reluctant to engage in manual labor, the problem of "who will farm the land" is becoming more and more serious. In addition to resource constraints, costs and benefits of farming and other factors, the development of more and more accurate and intelligent agricultural machinery in the future may be an important or even the only answer.

So, where does this precise and intelligent advanced agricultural machinery come from? Is China's production of grain and important agricultural products based on foreign agricultural machinery and equipment?
Recently, an industry focused activity tried to give an answer.
"Leading" strength
In the past, the Great Northern Wilderness became the "granary of China". As the largest reclamation area in China, Beidahuang has 40 million mu of arable land and 113 large state-owned farms. The Northern Wilderness has long been famous at home and abroad for its important role in food production. At the same time, the Northern Wilderness is also the region with the highest agricultural mechanization rate and development level in China. Before the Northern Wilderness, I don't know how strong agricultural machinery is!

Recently, in this domestic agricultural aircraft carrier site, Weichai Lovol and Beidahuang Group jointly held a series of "high-end CVT tractor roadshows". With the theme of "China's granary • China's wisdom • China's CVT", the event promoted the deep integration of intelligent agricultural machinery and application scenarios, and helped the orderly development of local spring farming production. At the roadshow, several Weichai Lovol high-power CVT intelligent tractors were shown driverless and became the "stars" of the day's activities.
In today's China, it is undoubtedly the Northern Wilderness that determines which farm machinery is the strongest. If it comes to the strongest local agricultural machinery manufacturer, I'm afraid few people can bypass Weichai Lovol to talk about this topic.
It is difficult to do porcelain work without diamond. For the Northern Wilderness, which is widely known and home to the most high-end agricultural machinery in the world, if there are no two brushes, people will not pay attention to it, and will not be interested in joint activities with you. The Weichai P7000 tractor participating in this roadshow is a high-power CVT intelligent tractor independently developed by Weichai Lovol Intelligent Agriculture and with independent intellectual property rights. The introduction of this tractor has broken the long-term foreign monopoly on high-power CVT tractor technology and core parts, filled the gap in domestic tractor stepless transmission technology, and achieved the independent control of core technology, core parts and key agricultural data, It is of far-reaching significance to improve the technological innovation ability and competitiveness of domestic intelligent agricultural machinery.

After the strategic reorganization of Weichai Group and Lovol, the two sides have achieved seamless cooperation and two-way empowerment. As one of the industrial equipment groups with the richest strategic resources in the world at present, Weichai Group's high-end technical advantages in the fields of engine, CVT, hydraulic pressure, electric control and so on have effectively supplemented the technical weaknesses of Weichai Lovol. In the past two years, Weichai Lovol has rapidly established its core competitiveness in the high-end agricultural equipment market. It has successively broken through a number of "stuck neck" technologies, such as high-power CVT intelligent tractors, large-feeding harvesting machinery, etc., filling the domestic gap and resolving the "throat pain" of China's agricultural machinery industry.
It is understood that Weichai Lovol P7000 tractor has broken the long-term technical monopoly of foreign imported brands on high-end agricultural equipment. Compared with traditional tractors, the comprehensive operating efficiency has been improved by 30%, and the fuel consumption rate can be reduced by 10%. It can not only achieve one-button forward, reverse, and turn around, but also achieve complete unmanned driving.
Leading by "leading"
  Modern agricultural machinery is a concrete, practical and reliable "golden shoulder pole" for modern agriculture.
In terms of ensuring food security and changing the mode of agricultural development, Weichai Lovol continues to lead the domestic agricultural machinery enterprises. The reason why we can take the lead is the innovation and leadership based on our strong strength.
It is generally accepted that innovation is the primary driving force for enterprise development. In order to continuously increase innovation and upgrading, Weichai Lovol R&D investment has no upper limit, achieving high-quality and high-speed growth of the enterprise. In 2022, Weichai Lovol's global innovation "big chess game" dropped a few pieces, and it successively set up scientific and technological innovation centers in North America, Europe and Japan, further relying on the global core resource advantages and technological innovation advantages of Weichai Group, attracting high-end professionals, comprehensively improving the company's agricultural machinery equipment research and development capabilities, and promoting Weichai Lovol to go ahead.

On January 29, 2022, Tan Xuguang, chairman of Weichai Group and Weichai Lovol Smart Agriculture, clearly proposed that the core of the future new group strategy is "technology leading+solutions", transforming from equipment manufacturing group to technology leading equipment solutions group. For the agricultural equipment sector, it is necessary to transform from selling agricultural machinery to intelligent agricultural solutions, integrate intelligent agricultural machinery, precision agriculture and farm management, and empower agriculture with science and technology.
As a flagship member of the development of smart agriculture in China, Weichai Lovol is the first to deploy smart agriculture business in China, providing a mature paradigm for solving the problem of "who will farm" in the future. Weichai Lovol continuously reserves core technical capabilities in intelligent driving, precision operation and intelligent agricultural management platform, transforms from providing agricultural machinery products to providing intelligent agricultural system service solutions, and provides customers with modern agricultural services in the whole process of farming, planting, management and harvesting, leading the transformation of domestic agriculture from "sweat driven" to "smart driven", and continuously releasing new vitality of modern agricultural production.

"Leading"
Food security is the number one task that our country with a large population always needs to pay attention to. China has always held the rice bowl firmly in its own hands, implemented the policy of "storing grain in the land and storing grain in technology", improved the comprehensive agricultural production capacity, and consolidated the foundation of food security. In the whole year of 2022, the grain output was 1373.1 billion jin, an increase of 0.5% over the previous year, and stabilized at more than 1.3 trillion jin for eight consecutive years, and a hard-won transcript was obtained.
The first thing in spring is to act first. Weichai Lovol, which has a strong executive force and fully introduces Weichai's cultural concept, is actively giving play to the advantages of agricultural machinery business resources, extending the agricultural machinery operation trust service business, and establishing a standardized modern agricultural service operation process and management system. During the "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan" period, it will gradually replicate and promote the whole-process digital service scheme nationwide, rapidly promote the construction of unmanned driving, precision operation and data supervision platform, and enable the agricultural socialized service system with the whole-process trusteeship as the core, to provide the whole-process and full-scene service scheme for food production for new business entities.
At present, the gap between China's agricultural machinery manufacturing and the international advanced level is still obvious. To climb up the international agricultural machinery high-end value chain, leading enterprises have arduous tasks and great responsibilities. Its technical level is an observation post to measure the technical level of the industry in a country. Germany and the United States also have many specialized agricultural machinery enterprises in subdivided fields, but when people are mentioned, the first thing they think of is Klass, Deere and Kesner Netherlands; When talking about Japan, I first think of Kubota and Yangma. As for China's agricultural machinery enterprises, due to their leading positions in the fields of wheat, corn harvesters and tractors, the brand association of Weichai Lovol has been naturally "implanted" in the minds of industry people.

This year's government work report proposed that "strengthen the support of agricultural science and technology and equipment". This is a direct request for agricultural machinery work again after the government work report last year proposed "improve the level of agricultural machinery equipment". To ensure food security and secure the livelihood of the Chinese people, we must have "agricultural machinery leading role".
At present, Weichai Lovol is focusing on promoting the deep integration of its strategic objectives and the development needs of the country and industry, adhering to the business strategy of creating value through technology, and comprehensively leading the transformation and upgrading of China's agricultural machinery and equipment to high-end with the focus of filling in gaps, filling in weaknesses and upgrading.
