Highlights of Xinjiang’s economy: Demonstration of changing electricity and heavy trucks to lead the development of "green transportation" in Xinjiang
Tianshan net-Xinjiang Daily reporter Yu Jiangyan
From Zhundong Economic and Technological Development Zone to Urumqi, about 200 kilometers, three power stations will be arranged to ensure that heavy trucks (hereinafter referred to as "heavy trucks") can be replaced with fully charged batteries in time. Recently, PetroChina Xinjiang Sales Co., Ltd. began to build a demonstration trunk line for replacing electricity and heavy trucks from Zhundong to Urumqi to create "green transportation" and help reduce carbon emissions.
"Three power stations are located near a coal mining enterprise in Urumqi Economic and Technological Development Zone (Toutunhe District), changji city and Zhundong Development Zone. On August 2, the construction of the power exchange station in Urumqi has started, and it is expected to be completed and put into operation before the end of this year. " Relevant business personnel of the Development Planning Department of PetroChina Xinjiang Sales Company said.
Relying on the Xiangyun gas station of PetroChina in Urumqi, PetroChina Xinjiang Sales Company will cooperate with Xinjiang Energy and Chemical Co., Ltd., the State Power Investment Group, to build a new power exchange station in the station. It takes an average of 3-5 minutes for heavy trucks to arrive at the power exchange station, and the replaced batteries can be fully charged in about 50 minutes. The company is equipped with enough batteries to meet the 24-hour power exchange demand of heavy trucks transporting coal and other resources.

Zhundong Development Zone is an important part of the 14th large-scale coal base determined by the state. At present, a large amount of coal needs to be transported by heavy trucks and short barges and loaded on trains. At the same time, Xinjiang Derun Xiexin Energy Technology Co., Ltd. also plans to build a heavy truck power station in Zhundong.
At present, Derun Xiexin Energy has built a heavy truck-to-power station at a selected site in Shihezi City to meet the demand of short transportation and heavy truck-to-power exchange from Shihezi Railway Station to the power plant. "We cooperate with the logistics company, and the logistics company buys the new energy heavy truck body. We buy the battery. The power exchange station is actually a battery bank. The first batch of power exchange stations can meet the needs of 30 inverted short heavy trucks." Shi Weidong, general manager of Xinjiang Derun Xiexin Energy Technology Co., Ltd. said that it is estimated that by this way, a short transport vehicle can save 70,000-100,000 yuan in transportation costs every year.
Derun Xiexin Energy plans to build a power station in the area with more short-term business first, and the next step is to build a power station in the economic and technological development (industrial zone) of Ganquanbao, Urumqi. In addition, Hami and Hotan are also included in the future power station construction layout. "In Xinjiang, we will start with the construction of short-term transportation for power stations, then build 300-500 km demonstration trunk lines, and finally build a’ green transportation’ network system by connecting several trunk lines." Shi Weidong said.

Located in Wusu, Kuitun and Dushanzi "Jinshanjiao", millions of tons of coal are transported to surrounding power plants and petrochemical enterprises every year. In July this year, Xinjiang Zhaoyuan Green Energy Co., Ltd. started the construction of power exchange station in Wusu City. "Prepare to build two power stations, one in the first phase, eight positions and seven spare batteries." Hang Wanqiang, the person in charge of the heavy truck replacement project of Xinjiang Zhaoyuan Green Energy Co., Ltd., said that it will operate in cooperation with Xinjiang Suhong Logistics Co., Ltd., and the logistics company has purchased 10 heavy trucks.
According to the previous investigation and forecast, after the heavy trucks are put into operation, the logistics cost will be reduced by 5 yuan per ton. In the future, Xinjiang Zhaoyuan Green Energy also plans to build power stations in Kuitun City and dushanzi area in Karamay City, and invest at least 200 heavy-duty trucks to build the "Kuidu Wujin Mountain Corner" demonstration trunk line for heavy-duty trucks.
In January this year, the People’s Government of the Autonomous Region issued the Guiding Opinions on Further Accelerating the Promotion and Application of New Energy Vehicles and Industrial Development (hereinafter referred to as the Opinions), proposing to accelerate the electrification of transportation and the demonstration construction of hydrogen fuel with the focus on "Urumqi-Changzhou-Shijiazhuang", "Kuidu-Urumqi" and the joint control area of atmospheric defense in Yili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture. By 2025, no less than 150 urban (intercity) public charging and replacing power stations will be built and put into operation.
Driven by the Opinions, in April this year, Xinjiang’s first electric heavy truck exchange power station was put into use in Ganquanbao Economic and Technological Development Zone.

Before promoting the construction of heavy-duty truck-changing power station, heavy-duty truck charging scenes had been applied in Wucaiwan Industrial Park in Xinjiang and Heishan Coal Mine in Toksun County. In 2020, Xinjiang Energy and Chemical Wucaiwan Power Generation Co., Ltd. built heavy-duty truck charging piles in Wucaiwan Industrial Park. In 2021, seven heavy-duty trucks were operated for a total of 378,794 kilometers, and the annual cumulative emission reduction was about 694 tons.
