The auto show is a platform to showcase the technical strength of the automotive industry. The 12th China (Guangzhou) International Automobile Exhibition (hereinafter referred to as “Guangzhou Auto Showâ€) has just finished, except for the different styles of car companies and sexy enchanting models. In addition, more eye-catching than the display of various core technologies.

The independent brands such as SAIC and GAC, which had started joint ventures in China, have unveiled their own engines and transmissions. The “Call Board†joint venture brand indicates that the self-owned brands have already gained their strength in the mastery of engine and other core technologies. In the joint venture camp, due to the pressure of independent brands on the core technology, the competition between the joint venture brands has intensified, and the domestic automobile policy orientation has gradually matured. The joint venture company also exhibited at the Guangzhou Auto Show. It is equipped with cutting-edge core technology on domestic models and claims to gradually achieve localization.
Car companies explore "joining for technology"
In fact, before the current Guangzhou Auto Show, the joint venture model of “the market has not been exchanged for core technologyâ€, which has been criticized in the industry in recent years, is gradually changing. In the new joint venture cooperation project, the domestic automobile enterprises have entered into a joint venture with the core technology capabilities, and the “joint-to-joint technology†model is becoming a new exploration direction for car companies.
In October this year, during the visit of German Premier Li Keqiang to Germany, he actively promoted Sino-German trade exchanges and promoted the signing of the Mercedes-Benz production expansion agreement between Germany Daimler and BAIC. BAIC Group also cooperated with Mercedes-Benz C-Class and E. The GLK sedan supplies the front and rear axles, thus ensuring that the ZTE-quality ZF company has signed a joint venture agreement. The two parties will spend more than 80 million yuan to set up a new joint venture company in China, which will be dedicated to chassis products. Development and assembly of the axle system. “In the past domestic joint ventures, ZF has been a supplier of complete vehicle companies, joint ventures or wholly-owned factories with domestic component companies. In this joint venture project, BAIC is both ZF’s The joint venture partner, also a customer of ZF, the company under the new joint venture model, will mainly supply supporting products for the major brands under the BAIC Group.†ZF, market communications manager of ZF, said that ZF is mastering the transmission. Suppliers with chassis core technology also hope to participate in the development of Chinese local automobile brands through technical cooperation.
Not only that, but in the joint venture between domestic companies, car companies are also more focused on joint ventures with parts suppliers that have mastered core technologies. Recently, Keliyuan Co., Ltd., which provides Toyota-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 establish Keliyuan Hybrid Power Systems Co., Ltd. Invested in the construction of China Hybrid and Transmission System Assembly Technology Platform Project ("CHS Project").
According to the announcement, the first phase of the CHS project will be 4.65 billion yuan. It is planned to start construction in 2015. The main products are hybrid and transmission system assemblies and ancillary products.
Keliyuan said that the joint venture under the new model is conducive to the comprehensive implementation of the smooth implementation and rapid advancement of the CHS project invested by the company and Geely Holding, which can significantly enhance the sustainable development capability and risk resistance of the CHS project, in line with the company's energy conservation and The strategic development goals and long-term planning needs in the field of new energy vehicles will have a positive impact on the long-term development of the company.
The 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 for the auto industry, and the emergence of the above-mentioned joint venture model is no exception. On November 4th, the National Development and Reform Commission issued a revised version of the “Guidance Catalogue for Foreign Investment Industries†(hereinafter referred to as the “Directoryâ€) and publicly solicited opinions. The “cars†that have received much attention in the 2011 revision have been explicitly included in the list of restrictions on foreign investment in the industry.
In the revised version of the Catalogue, automotive engine manufacturing and engine R&D institutions, automotive key component manufacturing and key technology research and development, automotive electronics manufacturing and R&D and other automotive components are still in the list of encouraged foreign investment industries.
Xu Bingjin, assistant to the former Minister of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation and president of China Europe Economic and Technical Cooperation Association, believes that the continuation of this policy illustrates the continuation of the state’s tightening attitude towards the vehicle joint venture project, as well as the relevant state departments and joint ventures for automobile companies. Guidance on the development of key core technologies. It is this policy orientation that has prompted domestic car companies to form a new joint venture model that is moving toward core technology.
It is not only the new trend and the return of the goal. "This policy orientation has not changed the target of the original car-enterprise joint venture model. Instead, it has further consolidated and strengthened the original intention of China's development of the automobile industry. The above phenomenon is not only a new trend of domestic car-enterprise joint ventures. It is also the return of the original joint venture target." Xu Bingjin said that since the reform and opening up, China's auto industry, especially the sedan, has started and developed. In 1984, the Beidaihe Conference was held to propose the construction of three major and three small. At the Sixth National People's Congress in 1986, the automobile manufacturing industry was listed as an important pillar industry in the "Seventh Five-Year Plan". In order to change the largest number of automobile factories in China at that time, but the production of automobiles is the lowest, the two worlds are the most scattered.
According to Xu Bingjin's recollection, the policy orientation of the State Council at that time was to introduce technology, digest and absorb, and finally let Chinese car companies master the technology, thereby localizing the products and realizing the development of the independent automobile industry. In this context, China began to look for international auto giants as joint venture partners, but because the auto industry environment, talents and foundations were relatively backward, many companies did not dare to enter, but they all believed that the Chinese market has prospects. . It was not until the German Volkswagen and the two domestic auto companies established a joint venture that opened the curtain of the joint venture boom in China.
Xu Bingjin believes that through joint ventures, Chinese auto companies have learned production technology and established a component base. China's auto production has grown from less than 5,000 vehicles in 1985 to 22 million vehicles today, an increase of more than 4,400 times, making it the world's largest production and sales country. "It is undeniable that in the 30 years of joint ventures in China's automobile industry, the use of foreign investment policies has played an important role in the progress of the automobile industry and socialist construction. The joint venture of the whole vehicle has played an important supporting role in the development of the Chinese automobile industry." The lack of funds and resources for the development of China's automobile industry has been solved one by one, and it is most evident in the level of equipment manufacturing. However, in terms of core technology mastery, on the one hand, because the core technology is accumulated by the foreign party through huge investment and experience, it is the bottom line for foreigners to strictly guard against intellectual property rights; on the other hand, the core technology is also the foreign party’s acquisition of the Chinese market. An important tool for profit is to get the market. Similarly, the joint venture with the component companies that master the core technology is indeed a new exploration of China's car companies approaching the core technology, but it depends on how the car enterprises inherit innovation in the next step, and the focus is still on their own efforts.
Digestion and absorption master the core technology Xu Bingjin believes that the introduction of joint ventures can indeed fill the shortcomings of domestic car companies in the core technology, which can be regarded as a mature indicator of the development of China's auto industry, but long-term joint venture means technical dependence, It will paralyze the sense of innovation and must change this concept. The 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed that China should follow the road of independent innovation with Chinese characteristics, and the independent innovation of the automobile industry is even more so. General Secretary Xi Jinping proposed the principle of inheriting innovation, which is to continuously extend and develop on the basis of existing technology. Form your own collection and brand.
In addition, the car's own digestion and absorption is the most important, no digestion and absorption, the introduction of the core technology alone 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 "slow work." He said that research and development is a process of continuous improvement of thinking and conception, and a process of accumulation of technology. "It can be done without being brought." Otherwise, after the foreign party upgraded on the basis of the original technology, "we still do not have the latest technology, or will be subject to people." "The mastery of core technology will ultimately depend on the development and innovation of the car companies themselves, and constantly develop and accumulate the core technologies that have been mastered, and continue to innovate after inheritance." Xu Bingjin pointed out that mastering the redevelopment capabilities of core technologies is the core technology. The true mastery can help China's auto industry to achieve a "big to strong" leap.
