In response to the growing emphasis on environmental protection, Hubei Shengda incorporated several energy - saving and eco - friendly features into the sprinkler trucks. The trucks were equipped with fuel - efficient engines that met the latest national emission standards. The engines used advanced fuel injection technology, which improved fuel combustion efficiency by 15 - 20%. As a result, the fuel consumption of the new sprinkler trucks was 20 - 25% lower than that of the older models.
Moreover, the company installed a water - recycling system in the trucks. This system was designed to collect the runoff water from the roads during the spraying process. The collected water was then filtered through a multi - stage filtration system. The first stage consisted of a coarse - mesh filter that removed large debris such as stones and leaves. The second stage used a fine - mesh filter to remove smaller particles, and the final stage involved a chemical treatment process to remove any impurities or contaminants. After filtration, the recycled water could be reused for non - potable purposes such as road spraying. This water - recycling system could save up to 30 - 40% of the water consumption during the daily operation of the sprinkler trucks.
Implementation and Deployment
Once the design and production of the new sprinkler trucks were completed, Hubei Shengda worked closely with the client to ensure a smooth implementation and deployment process. The company provided comprehensive training to the client's drivers and maintenance staff. The driver training program focused on the proper operation of the new - generation sprinkler trucks. Drivers were taught how to adjust the spraying width and water pressure according to different road conditions. They were also trained on the use of the vehicle's new - found energy - saving features, such as how to drive in a way that maximizes fuel efficiency.
The maintenance staff received in - depth training on the maintenance and repair of the new trucks. They were taught how to perform routine maintenance tasks, such as checking the water tank for leaks, inspecting the nozzles for clogs, and maintaining the water - recycling system. Hubei Shengda also provided the client with a detailed maintenance manual and a list of recommended spare parts.
The deployment of the new sprinkler trucks was carefully planned. The client's service area was divided into different zones, and the new trucks were allocated to each zone based on the traffic density, the amount of construction activities, and the level of dust pollution. A GPS - tracking system was installed in each truck, allowing the client to monitor the location and operation status of the vehicles in real - time. This helped in optimizing the route planning of the sprinkler trucks, reducing unnecessary driving distances, and ensuring that all areas were covered in a timely and efficient manner.
Results and Benefits
Improvement in Road Cleaning Efficiency
After the deployment of the new sprinkler trucks, the client witnessed a significant improvement in road cleaning efficiency. The larger water - carrying capacity and the adjustable spraying system allowed the trucks to cover more areas in less time. The number of times the trucks needed to refill water during a typical workday was reduced from 4 - 5 times to 2 - 3 times. The increased spraying width and water pressure ensured that the roads were thoroughly cleaned. The client's daily road cleaning area increased by 40 - 50%, from an average of 100 - 120 square kilometers to 160 - 180 square kilometers.
Reduction in Dust Pollution
The new sprinkler trucks also played a crucial role in reducing dust pollution in the city. The high - pressure spraying system was effective in suppressing the dust generated by construction activities and traffic. According to the data collected from the city's air quality monitoring stations, the average concentration of particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) in the air decreased by 15 - 20% in the areas where the new sprinkler trucks were actively operating. This reduction in dust pollution not only improved the air quality but also contributed to a healthier living environment for the city's residents.
Cost - Savings
In addition to the environmental and operational benefits, the client also achieved significant cost - savings. The fuel - efficient engines and the water - recycling system reduced the operating costs of the sprinkler trucks. The fuel cost was reduced by approximately 20 - 25% per truck per month. The savings in water consumption, thanks to the water - recycling system, translated into a 30 - 40% reduction in water procurement costs. Overall, the client estimated that the annual operating cost of its sprinkler truck fleet was reduced by 25 - 30% after the introduction of the new trucks.
Conclusion
The cooperation between Hubei Shengda Automobile Co., Ltd. and the urban environmental protection service provider in the production and supply of sprinkler trucks was a resounding success. By understanding the client's challenges and needs, Hubei Shengda was able to design and produce a new generation of sprinkler trucks with innovative features. These features not only improved the efficiency of road cleaning and reduced dust pollution but also brought significant cost - savings to the client. This case study serves as an example of how Hubei Shengda Automobile Co., Ltd. can provide customized solutions to meet the diverse requirements of its customers in the field of specialized vehicles, and contribute to the sustainable development of urban environments
