Reliance on core technology is up to 50%


At present, China’s domestic engine technology is still blocked by the technology of foreign-funded enterprises. Although some self-owned brand enterprises in China have mastered the manufacturing technology of the engine, they have also made breakthroughs in advanced technologies such as VVT and direct injection in the cylinder, but the core of the electronic control system is Technology is still in the hands of foreign companies. The engine calibration of Chinese companies still needs the support of foreign technology. Whether it is the government or the enterprise, they have many thoughts in obtaining core technology and seek breakthroughs.

At the Tsinghua University's Mizuki BBS, a graduate student studying mechanical engineering asked a question: Where are the technological gaps of self-owned brands? He said, “Individual brands are gradually escaping plagiarism and forming their own style on the core components. 6AT, CVT turbocharged, FSI high power, basic technology basically catch up with Japan, Europe and South Korea, the gap between self-owned brands and foreign brands lies in stability (quality) and brand influence."

The future car practitioner has spoken out from many industry experts. “Chinese mainstream self-owned brand enterprises have already had a good foundation in the basic technology field, but there is still lack of guarantee in terms of stability and consistency. This is the biggest difference between independent brands and foreign brands in the technical field. It is precisely because of this technology. The gap in stability has caused the brand image to rise more difficultly. However, the narrowing of this gap requires a lot of investment and long-term efforts to achieve it,” said Xu Min, Dean of the School of Automotive Engineering at Shanghai Jiaotong University.

gap

It is understood that at present, China’s domestic engine technology is still blocked by the technology of foreign-funded enterprises. Although some of China’s own brand enterprises have mastered the manufacturing technology of the engine, they have also made breakthroughs in advanced technologies such as VVT and direct injection in the cylinder, but the electronic control system The core technologies are still in the hands of foreign-invested companies. The engine calibration of Chinese companies still needs the support of foreign technology to complete the work.

“Currently, there are only a few companies that can control the electronic control system of gasoline engines, such as Delphi. Now all major OEMs have their own production lines for cylinders, pistons, connecting rods and cylinder liners. These key components are CVVT and DVVT. Depending on the import of large parts or the patented foreign-owned parts and components companies, the self-owned brands are only matched.The main domestic supplier of diesel engines is the doctoral company, and some large trucks may cooperate with different companies, but the technology is still in control. In the hands of foreign-funded enterprises,” said an insider of the Automobile Engineering Association.

At present, independent brand enterprises have a clear understanding of technology dependence. Yin Mingshan, chairman of Lifan Motors, stated: “I think that the Chinese auto industry is still and will be a long-term production power, not a place of innovation and power, and the basic market of the domestic auto market will not change. China’s auto companies are powerful. Compared with joint venture brands and foreign brands, the weakest is the brand, and the second weakest is technology. We have to admit that the dependence on foreign technology of the Chinese auto industry exceeds 50%. This is a great sadness.”

Xu Liuping, chairman of Changan Group, believes that the reason for the technological gap is that technology R&D investment is too small. Xu Liuping believes that China's auto market is the world's largest auto market, and it is also a market where almost all global brands get together. Independent brands face unprecedented challenges in this most competitive global market. He said, “In the field of self-owned brands, the most critical are three aspects: First, technology, quality second, and finally, brand. If the analysis is based on three dimensions of technology, quality, and brand, the independent brand automobile is independent innovation. In terms of technical input, especially in terms of absolute or relative amounts, there are still some gaps compared with multinational companies. Although this gap is continuously narrowing, the absolute difference is not small."

Breaking

In fact, despite the lack of core competitiveness of the independent brands in the technology field, the Chinese government has already done many explorations in helping companies acquire technology.

Initially, through joint ventures with foreign companies, China hopes to use the market for technology, but this strategy has already failed.

In recent years, the government has vigorously promoted the development of joint-venture independent brands, hoping to acquire technology through the creation of new brands by foreign companies and China.

Prior to this, Zhang Xiangmu, director of the Department of Equipment of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, made it clear that compared with mature foreign companies, the Chinese auto industry is still in the development stage of “big rather than strong”. In the past, independent brands mostly depended on huge market demands to promote their own development. In the future, they must strengthen their innovation capabilities and improve the upstream and downstream industrial chains.

However, Zhang Xiangmu stressed that the tilt of the national policy toward the automotive industry is not a “non-discriminatory tilt” for the entire industry, but a tilt to key areas. During the "12th Five-Year Plan" period, China will focus on promoting the development of energy-saving vehicles and new energy vehicles, encourage enterprises to accelerate the process of internationalization, and promote the development of large-scale enterprises.

At present, most foreign companies have begun to launch joint-venture autonomous models. Most companies consider joint-venture models with Chinese companies as electric vehicles, and cooperate with Chinese independent brand companies in the field of pure electric vehicles. However, in the traditional energy-powered technology field, there is not too much. More ideas.

Xu Heyi, chairman of Beijing Automotive Group, believes that car companies should not rely too much on government in acquiring technology. He said that some of China's own brands did not make preparations for long-term competition with international companies, but only limited their eyes to the market that international companies and joint venture brands did not enter. As competition intensifies, competitors are also expanding their product lines and are beginning to move into broader market segments. For the current unfavorable situation, independent brands can not only think of more policy support to the government, but also can not complain that consumers "do not buy it." China's own brands must establish a world-class innovation system in order to survive fierce competition.
