China Automotive Turbocharger Application Technology Forum Held in August

In the application field, turbocharger technology is mostly used in passenger cars, but since July 1, 2013, the diesel IV standard has been enforced. This has put forward new requirements for the development of existing diesel engine technology. Turbocharging technology, as one of the most effective ways to reduce skills and improve engine working efficiency, will usher in greater market demand.

Under this development situation, light diesel engines have become more apparent in terms of turbocharger demand. With the continuous improvement of fuel consumption limits and the restriction of high oil prices, the demand for turbochargers for passenger vehicles is also increasing, which has opened up new directions for the turbocharger market.

At the same time, there are a large number of turbocharger companies in China, but most of them are still smaller companies. The forum will focus on the direction of the actual situation of these companies, through the exploration of the needs of emerging markets, the development of key technologies and components, as well as the sharing of precision manufacturing processes, to achieve the exchange and communication between domestic and foreign turbocharging companies. .

On the basis of the first turbocharger forum, China Automotive Consultation Center Network, through a large number of customer research and feedback, to explore the industry hot spots and bring together summary, will be held on August 21, 2013 the second turbocharger application technology forum. Look forward to your common concern and participation!

The future competitiveness of the depot will depend on multiple factors. It will only be impossible to see a comprehensive conclusion from the perspective of turbocharging. However, we still do this because we believe that turbocharging has become an important factor affecting the competitive landscape of domestic joint venture depots. Factors that provide turbo-charged depots will gain competitive advantage.

Turbocharging is a simple technology with a long history. Relative to the natural suction of the same horsepower, turbocharged engines have the advantages of light weight and small size, but poor smoothness. According to the US EPA standard, turbocharging shows only a small amount of fuel economy, and according to European standards, fuel economy is obvious. We are more compliant with the US EPA standards.

In recent years, European depots represented by the masses have promoted turbocharged engines. The essential reason is that according to the European fuel consumption test standard, turbocharging can actually achieve lower fuel consumption than a naturally-aspirated engine with a larger displacement of the same horsepower. Taking Germany as an example, we believe that the reason why European depots are keen to promote turbocharger is based on the existing tax advantages. The severe carbon emission limits in the medium term oblige depots to seek measures to reduce carbon emissions, and turbochargers Simple and easy.

Although the effect of turbo-charging energy-saving and emission-reduction is not very significant, the fact that policies guide the technical route is also normal. Comparing the policy environment of Europe, Japan, the United States, and China, we found that although Europe may have been forced to develop turbocharger due to the mid-term carbon emission limits, China is providing the best market for turbocharged soil. , Depots offering turbocharged models can immediately gain competitive advantage.

After all, in reality, there are many factors that affect consumer preferences. We have given our views more support from the perspective of domestic empirical evidence. We still insist that turbocharging brings and will continue to bring about changes in competitiveness.

According to the proportion of different depots in different global markets and their technical inclinations, we believe that non-Japanese depots such as Ford, General Motors, PSA, Hyundai-Kia are more likely to promote turbocharger in China, while Japanese depots are likely to hesitate (Nissan Relatively more likely to promote turbo. Of course, the more accurate way is tracking. According to the current understanding, among the joint venture depots, Ford, General Motors, PSA, and Hyundai-Kia will all continue to promote turbo-charging on a large scale in China. Nissan is also possible.

For domestic brands, the domestic market is the core consideration, and major automakers will launch turbochargers one after another. The timing will not be very different, so it is difficult to produce competitive structural differentiation due to this technology.

For the joint venture brand, we believe that the public will feel the pressure of profit margin and market share due to the entry of more competitors; the competition environment of Toyota and Honda at the early stage is not changed much at present; Ford, PSA, GM, Hyundai-Kia Group Nissan and Nissan will continue to enjoy the high profits and share of the turbocharged market. For Toyota and Honda, the uncertainty in the future is whether hybrid power can bring it to the bottom. We are not sure about this.
