Jilin Integrates Scientific Research Forces to Build Automotive Independent Innovation System

Zhongguang.net News from Changchun, Oct. 4 (Reporter Liu Yuanyuan) Jilin Province Science and Technology Department and FAW Group together with universities and research institutes in the province to jointly carry out the “Joint Action for the Construction of Jilin Provincial Automobile Independent Innovation System” signed by FAW. This indicates that Jilin Province is integrating the science and technology resources of various disciplines and levels, forming a scientific and technological fortune sharing resources and cooperating closely, and providing solid support for FAW to build an independent innovation system for auto technologies with international competitiveness.

The automobile industry is one of the most important industries in China and it is also a pillar industry in Jilin Province. Since entering the 21st century, the automobile industry has grown into one of the most dynamic growth points in the national economy. It is estimated that for each additional 100 yuan in the automobile industry, it will add 65 yuan to the upstream industry and 263 yuan to the downstream industry. FAW Group is the largest automobile production base in China and the most important pillar enterprise in Jilin Province. At present, the cumulative sales of vehicles by FAW Group have exceeded one million. It is estimated that the total industrial output value of the automotive industry in Jilin Province will exceed 180 billion yuan this year, accounting for more than 50% of the total output value of industrial enterprises above designated size in the province, an increase of more than 20%.

At present, the competition in the automotive industry has shifted from scale to branding, individuation and service integration. Rely on science and technology to realize the overall improvement of the independent innovation capability of FAW Group, form a competitive advantage and the independent innovation capability supported by the complete system, form the capability of upgrading the technology of independent brand cars, and form the ability to participate in the initiative of the international market division of labor. Jilin Province has a number of national and provincial key universities and research institutes such as Jilin University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Chemistry. Many research fields have a leading position in China and have a number of scientific and technological innovation talents. From this year onwards, Jilin Province will focus on key industries and upgrade its core competitiveness and significantly increase its investment in science and technology. At present, Jilin Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government are making every effort to provide various services for FAW and will work together with FAW Group to create a With systematic and strong R&D and innovation capabilities, a large number of core technologies and R&D platforms with independent intellectual property rights have been formed. The proportion of self-innovative brand cars has increased significantly, and the ability to participate in the automotive market has been significantly improved.

In order to realize the overall improvement of the independent innovation capability of FAW Group and the independent innovation capability supported by its competitive advantage and complete system, this year, the Science and Technology Department of Jilin Province and FAW Group decided to unite key universities and research institutes in the province, and to The power to participate in the "scientific and medium-term long-term development plan" implemented by FAW Group, and use this as an entry point to start joint construction of Jilin Province's auto innovation system. Based on repeated connections between FAW Group and provincial and university science and technology personnel, in April this year, the Science and Technology Department of Jilin Province convened the first batch of public bidding projects for the '2007 Jointly Action for the Independent Innovation System of Jilin Province'. Demonstration conference." According to the comments of the expert group judges and the on-site inspection, the project team revised the work plan. This time, it includes “Key Technology Research on FAW's Second Generation Hybrid Bus”, “Research on Fuel Injection Control Strategy for Gasoline Direct Injection Engine”, “Study on Optimization and Matching of Chassis and Performance of High-Quality Heavy-Duty Commercial Vehicles”, and “NVH Analysis and Analysis on Heavy Commercial Vehicles”. The four projects, such as Control Technology Research, have become the first batch of projects for joint innovation and implementation and are incorporated into the 2007 Jilin Province Science and Technology Development Plan.

At present, the joint action focuses on the “Red Flag”, “Pentium”, “Aowei” and “Liberation” brand cars and focuses on the design and engineering design of FAW Group in the R&D system, manufacturing system, sales system and service system. , New product development, experimental verification, quality assurance technology and supplier management and other technical issues, Jilin Provincial Science and Technology Department and FAW Group organized related experts, jointly identified a number of key technologies projects that take into account the near-term and mid-to-long-term goals. Key research and development areas include: research and development of advanced technologies for the integrated development of mid-size cars; research and development of advanced technologies for the integration of high-quality heavy-duty commercial vehicles; development of direct-injection gasoline engine (GDI); diesel engine development for heavy-duty commercial vehicles; development of heavy-duty commercial CNG engines; Development of Transmission (DCT); Development of Car Electric Power Steering System (EPS); Research and Development of Hybrid Vehicle Power System Technology Platform; Product Development and Industrialization of Hybrid Car (Pentium); Product Development and Industrialization of Hybrid Vehicles .

During the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, about 150 scientific and technological development projects were identified, of which 28 were for experimental verification capability projects; 31 were for key technical development projects for passenger vehicle development (A/B); passenger vehicle development capabilities (C / D) 18 key technology development projects implemented; 36 key technologies for commercial vehicle development capabilities.

In this joint initiative, four projects were initiated. The Ministry of Science and Technology, the Science and Technology Department of Jilin Province and FAW invested a total of 45 million yuan. The state and FAW Group will also provide research funding and research conditions to support the development of the project at any time.

In the future, the Science and Technology Department of Jilin Province and FAW Group will focus on the technologies of FAW Group in design, engineering design, new product development, experimental verification, quality assurance technology and supplier management in the R&D system, manufacturing system, sales system, and service system. Problems, continuously launching a batch of major science and technology projects that take into consideration the near-term and mid-to-long-term goals, and establish a group of automotive core technologies and R&D platforms that combine intellectual property rights, production, education, and research to provide powerful technology for Jilin Province to build a strong independent innovation system for the automotive industry. support. Efforts will be made to build Jilin into one of the most influential automobile industry bases in the world by 2020.
