[Case Studies] Aili's Breakthrough With Poclain Braking Systems on Electric Loaders
Aili Intelligent Control, founded in 1991, has established itself as a significant player in China’s electro-hydraulic transmission market. Over the years, the company has expanded its operations nationwide, boasting 23 subsidiaries and a diverse portfolio of leading global hydraulic brands, including Poclain Hydraulics. Aili and Poclain’s developments on the Chinese territory are tightly entwined, as one of Poclain Beijing’s first engineers, Qian WANG, later joined Aili and championed the brand in his new organization.
Aili wins outstanding contribution agent award
In 2022, Aili received the Outstanding Contribution Agent award from Poclain, recognizing their significant achievements in converting numerous applications to Poclain drives across various sectors such as road construction, railway building, mining, tunnel boring, agriculture and manufacturing. Aili’s extensive contribution has been pivotal to Poclain’s growth and recognition in China. The success of their collaboration is rooted in a shared culture of technical excellence through continuous learning, providing high value-added tailored system offerings, and maintaining close customer relationships.
“In the early stages of our partnership, both Aili and Poclain were aware of the opportunity lying in China’s infrastructure investments, so we strived to deepen our cooperation” says Mr Qian Wang, Aili Group Chief Engineer.
The Chinese market, known for its colossal machines working long hours in harsh environments, has seen Aili excel with a team well-versed in both application specifics and Poclain technology.
Aili introduces the Poclain brakes to the electric loader market
Aili’s expertise is exemplified in the Shangdong province, an area dense with construction equipment OEMs. Here, Aili approached an innovative OEM developing premium electric wheel loaders. The manufacturer values reliability for its components, especially the braking system. Aili proposed Poclain’s VB3 brake valve, which features a bilinear performance curve. It was customized to perfectly fit the need of the loader operator. The VB3’s bilinear curve provides fine and accurate braking at low speed, and robust and responsive braking in case of an emergency. The two distinct braking behaviors are more economical and comfortable for the operator.
As the Chinese growth slows and new technologies such as electric vehicles and autonomous machines emerge, the close partnership between Aili and Poclain is key in providing unique value-add to OEMs, who can in turn promote the advanced performance of their machines.
