The Auto Show is a platform to showcase the technical strength of the auto industry. The 12th China (Guangzhou) International Automobile Exhibition (hereinafter referred to as the “Guangzhou Auto Showâ€) has just ended and is no exception. Apart from the different styles of auto companies, the booths and sexy enchanting models In addition, there are more eye-catching than the display of various core technologies.
Reliance on self-owned car companies such as SAIC Motors and Guangzhou Automobile Co., Ltd., which had started in the country, spontaneously showed off its own development of engines and transmissions. The “squealing†joint venture brand demonstrated that the self-owned brand car companies have gained ground in the mastery of the engine and other core technologies. In the joint venture camp, due to the tight competition of core brands in their own brands, the intensified competitive relationship between joint venture brands, and the gradual maturation of domestic automobile policy orientation, the joint venture company also exhibited at the Guangzhou Auto Show. Assembled cutting-edge core technology on domestic models, and announced that it will gradually achieve localization.
Car companies explore "joint venture for technology"
In fact, before this year's Guangzhou Auto Show, the joint venture model that has been criticized by the industry as "the market has not exchanged core technology" in recent years is also gradually changing. In the new joint-venture cooperation project, the domestic automobile enterprises have entered into a joint venture-for-technology model with a company with core technological capabilities, which is becoming a new direction for car companies to explore.
In October this year, during Premier Li Keqiang's visit to Germany, he actively promoted Sino-German trade exchanges, resulting in the signing of Mercedes-Benz production expansion agreement between Daimler AG and BAIC. At the same time, BAIC Motor also worked with Mercedes-Benz's C-Class and E. The grade and GLK cars supply front and rear axles, which ensures that the Mercedes-Benz quality ZF company has signed a joint venture agreement, and the two sides will spend more than 80 million yuan to set up a new joint venture company in China, and the company will focus on the chassis products. The development and assembly of the axle system. “In the past joint venture cooperation in the country, ZF has been a supplier of complete vehicle companies and has established joint ventures or cooperation with domestic parts and components companies or wholly owned factories. In this joint venture project, Beijing Automotive Group is both ZF’s The joint venture partner is also a customer of ZF. The company under the new joint venture model will mainly supply the ancillary products for all major brands under the BAIC Group.†Jiang Keren, ZF’s market communications manager, stated that ZF is mastering the drive. Suppliers with Chassis Core Technology also hope that through technical cooperation, more and more companies will participate in the development of local Chinese auto brands.
Not only that, in the joint venture between domestic companies, car companies are also focusing more on joint ventures with component suppliers who have mastered core technologies. Recently, Keliyuan Company, which provides Toyota with related technologies for hybrid vehicles, announced in its company announcement that the company and Zhejiang Geely Holding Group signed an agreement on October 23 to jointly register and establish Keliyuan Hybrid Power Systems Co., Ltd. To invest in and construct the China Hybrid Power and Transmission System Assembly Technology Platform Project ("CHS Project").
According to the announcement, the CHS project will invest 4.65 billion yuan in the first phase and it plans to start construction in 2015. The main products are hybrid powertrain and transmission system assembly and related products.
Ke Liyuan stated that the joint venture under the new model is beneficial to the smooth implementation and rapid progress of the comprehensive protection of CHS projects invested by the company and Geely Holdings, and can significantly increase the sustainability of the CHS project and its ability to resist risks, in line with the company’s energy efficiency The strategic development goals and long-term planning needs in the new energy automotive sector will have a positive impact on the long-term development of the company.
Policy encourages the introduction of core technologies
It is understood that the joint venture projects of China's auto companies since the reform and opening up are inseparable from the state's policy guidance on the automobile industry, and the appearance of the joint venture model mentioned above is no exception. On November 4, the National Development and Reform Commission issued a revised draft of the "Guidance Catalogue for Foreign Investment Industries" (hereinafter referred to as the "Catalogue") and publicly solicited opinions. The fact that the "vehicle vehicle", which has received much attention in the revised version in 2011, has been explicitly included in the list of restrictions on the foreign investment industry has not changed.
In the revised "Catalogue," auto parts and components such as automobile engine manufacturing and engine R&D, automobile key component manufacturing and key technology R&D, automotive electronic device manufacturing and R&D are still included in the Catalogue of Encouraged Foreign Investment Industries.
Xu Bingjin, former assistant minister of foreign trade and economic cooperation and president of the European Economic and Technical Cooperation Association of China, believes that the continuation of this policy shows the continuation of the state’s tightening attitude towards the joint venture of the entire vehicle, and also shows that the relevant national authorities have established joint ventures with auto companies. Key to the development of key technologies. It is this policy orientation that has prompted domestic auto companies to form a new joint venture model that will move toward core technologies.
It is both a new trend and a goal
“This policy orientation does not change the original goal of the joint venture model for car companies. Instead, it is a further consolidation and strengthening of the original intention of the development of the automobile industry in China. This phenomenon is both a new trend in the joint venture of domestic car companies and an original joint venture target. The return of Xu Bingjin said that since the reform and opening up, China's auto industry, especially cars, has started and developed. In 1984, the Beidaihe conference was held, and it was proposed to build three major three small ones. At the sixth session of the Fourth National People's Congress in 1986, the automobile manufacturing industry was included in the “Seventh Five-Year Plan†as an important pillar industry. In order to change the country’s largest auto factories at the time, the production of automobiles was the lowest, and the two worlds were the worst.
According to Xu Bingjin's recall, the policy direction of the State Council at that time was to introduce technology, to digest and absorb, and finally to allow Chinese auto companies to master the technology, thereby localizing the products and realizing the development of autonomous auto industry. Against this backdrop, China began to search for international auto giants as joint venture partners. However, because the auto industry environment, talents, and infrastructure were relatively backward at that time, many companies did not dare to enter, but they all believed that the Chinese market was promising. . Until the German Volkswagen and the two domestic automobile companies set up joint ventures, it only opened the curtain of joint venture in China.
Xu Bingjin believes that through joint ventures, Chinese auto companies have learned production techniques and established the basis for components. China's auto production has grown from less than 5,000 in 1985 to 22 million today, an increase of more than 4,400 times, making it the world’s largest producer and sales nation. "It is undeniable that in the 30 years of the joint venture of China's automobile industry, the use of foreign investment policies has played an important role in the advancement of the automobile industry and socialist construction. The joint venture of the entire vehicle has played an important supporting role in the development of the Chinese automobile industry." The problem of scarcity of funds and resources for the development of the automobile industry in China was solved one by one, and it was most evident in the level of equipment manufacturing. However, in the mastery of core technologies, on the one hand, because the core technology is acquired by foreign parties through huge investments and experience, it is the bottom line for foreign companies to strictly guard against intellectual property; on the other hand, core technologies are also used by foreign countries to capture the Chinese market. An important tool for profit is to take the market for it. Similarly, a joint venture with a parts and technology company that masters core technologies is indeed a new exploration of China's auto companies approaching core technologies. However, it also depends on how car companies inherit and innovate in the next step. The focus still depends on their own efforts.
Digestion and absorption of core technologies
Xu Bingjin believes that the introduction of a joint venture can indeed fill the shortcomings in the core technology of domestic automakers. This can be regarded as a sign of the maturity of China's auto industry, but long-term joint ventures mean technical dependence, which will paralyze innovation and must be transformed. This concept. The 18th CPC National Congress proposed that China should take the road of independent innovation with Chinese characteristics. The auto industry’s independent innovation is even more so. General Secretary Xi Jinping’s proposed principle of inheriting and innovating is to continuously extend and develop the existing technology. , Form your own series and brand.
In addition, the car companies' own digestion and absorption are even more important. Without digestion and absorption, it is still impossible to control the core technology in their own hands. Xu Bingjin suggested that car companies should increase their efforts in research and development of core technologies and do a good job of this "slowness." He said that research and development is a process of continuous progress in thinking and conception, and is a process of technological accumulation. "It can't be completed." Otherwise, after the foreign party is upgraded on the basis of the original technology, “we still don’t have the latest technology, or we will be subject to peopleâ€. "The mastery of the core technology ultimately depends on the car companies' own development and innovation, and constantly develops and accumulates the core technologies that have been mastered, and continues to innovate after the succession." Xu Bingjin pointed out that mastering the redevelopment ability of core technologies is considered to be the core technology. The real mastery can help China's auto industry to achieve a "big to strong" leap.
