The automotive gear industry still needs to deepen the transformation

From November 12 to 14, the 2014 China Gear Industry Development Summit was held in Chizhou City, Anhui Province.

More than 200 enterprise representatives from the automotive gear industry participated in the summit.

Fifteen famous experts and representatives from domestic and foreign countries made wonderful reports on the theme of the summit of “cooperation, innovation, integration and globalization”.

After heated discussions, all the participants reached a consensus: The continuous development of the automotive gear industry depends on the comprehensive role of multiple factors; cooperation, innovation, 'intelligence' (informatization and industrialization) integration and international development are interdependent, and jointly boost China’s auto gears. Industry transformation and upgrading.

serious situation

At present, China's automobile gear industry is subject to multiple pressures such as the absence of high-end products, overcapacity of low-to-medium-end products, homogenous and vicious price competition, rising costs, and delays in the product lines of multinational companies. It is extremely difficult for the company to adjust and upgrade its corporate structure. In this severe situation, some companies in the Chinese automotive gear industry went bankrupt or closed down one after another.

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China will take the deep integration of “two intensifications” as an important part of the “13th Five-Year Plan” to promote the transformation and upgrading of enterprises, and will focus more on supporting key basic materials, core basic components (components) and advanced basic technologies. Development, in order to lay a solid foundation for industrial technology.

Li Shengqi, secretary-general of the China Automotive Automatic Transmission Innovation Union, said in an interview: “These major industrial policies will surely help the Chinese automotive gear industry to meet the challenges and will inevitably inject a strong driving force for the development of the automobile gear industry enterprises. To prepare enterprises, we must take the road of cooperation, innovation and internationalization.Cooperation and win-win is an eternal topic in China's automobile gear industry.Continuous innovation is an inexhaustible endogenous driving force for automotive gear companies.International development is the automotive gear The indispensable and important content of enterprise transformation and upgrading."

"Two" fusion can effectively increase economic efficiency

Guo Wei, the head of the National Advanced Manufacturing 863 Specialized Expert Group and the professor of Tianjin University, was invited to present at the conference the theme report titled “Intensive Integration of 'Two Dimensions' to Promote Transformation, Upgrade and Development: Methods and VIT Tools”.

Guo Wei pointed out: "The integration of 'two industries' is the only way for companies to obtain a sustainable competitive advantage. Price reduction has never been possible to obtain a sustainable competitive advantage, and the competitive advantage gained by the introduction of new technologies or new products is not sustainable. Only research and development capabilities It is a sustainable competitive advantage. The integration of 'two industries' is an effective means to improve the economic efficiency of enterprises."

At present, many enterprises do not understand the integration of “two chemicals” and do not have the strategic relationship of integrating “two chemicals” and the development of enterprises, resulting in the integration of “two chemicals” and the mismatch of corporate strategies; two informatization and management, informatization A huge investment cannot produce the expected benefits.

Chen Xiaohong, general manager of Chongqing Lanxun Power Transmission Machinery Co., Ltd., addressed the opening ceremony of the summit and pointed out: "In the case of excess production capacity, the Chinese gear industry has entered the critical stage of structural adjustment and the deep integration of 'two industries'."

The key to innovation to win market opportunities

Tan Fuchun, chief engineer of Chongqing Haojiang Hercules Gear Co., Ltd., gave a report titled "Application of Point-to-Point Gears in Automotive Transmissions".

The point-line meshing gear technology is the result of the technological innovation of Professor Li Haixiang of Wuhan University of Technology.

The point-line meshing gears have the advantages of high strength, low noise, long life, no pitting, etc., and have many advantages for use in automobile transmissions.

Li Haixiang has repeatedly introduced dot-line meshing gear technology on various occasions, and nobody cares.

At the 2012 China Gear Industry Technology Conference, Li Haixiang introduced the point-line meshing gear technology again, resulting in Wang Hui, General Manager of Chongqing Haojiang Hercules Gear Co., Ltd., and Wang Jun, Secretary-General of Chongqing Haojiang Gear Co., Ltd. . They decided to use dot-line meshing gear technology to improve automotive transmission products. Li Haixiang was asked to go to the Chongqing Lijiang audit program and to guide trial production.

Li Shengqi introduced: “In the past year, Chongqing Haojiang Hercules Gear Co., Ltd. and Li Haixiang have enjoyed friendly cooperation and obtained the support of the government of Chongqing’s Yongjiang District, and the success of using dot-line meshing gear technology to improve automotive transmission products has been a rare innovation in the Chinese gear industry. The market prospects are very broad."

This matter strongly confirms the importance of auto-gear industry enterprises relying on innovation to win market opportunities.

Professor Xu Xiangyang, executive vice president of the School of Transportation Science and Engineering at Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, in a report titled "The latest developments and trends in automatic transmission technology," called: "China's automotive gear industry companies have missed the market opportunities for traditional automotive automatic transmissions. Do not miss the market opportunities for electric vehicle automatic transmissions."

Li Shengqi emphasized: "The demand for the growth of the automatic transmission market must exceed the growth rate of the automobile. This is the last chance and cannot be lost."

There are two paths to the transformation and upgrading. Mr. Lu Chao, the director of the gear technology branch of the China Automotive Engineering Society, made a summary report at the closing ceremony of the summit.

Lu Chao pointed out: "Only transformation and upgrading will promote the sustainable development of China's automotive gear industry. There are two paths for the transformation and upgrading of China's automotive gear industry: market and users upgrade from low-end to high-end, and upgrade from low-end domestic to high-end international; product technology. Upgraded parts from commercial vehicle parts to passenger car parts and upgraded from manual transmissions to automatic transmissions."

How can China's auto gear industry take these two paths? Lu Chao made the following suggestions:

Create an internationalized service platform for industry, introduce advanced technology from the world, and use this platform to sell member products to all parts of the world. The "two integrations" are deeply integrated to realize the upgrading of digital, networked, and intelligent modern manufacturing systems.

The introduction and training of international talents will make good use of the U.S. Auto Industry Action Group to authorize the U.S. auto parts industry alliance platform and increase training to fully enhance the ability of member companies to develop international high-end market systems.

Build a high-end manufacturing industry chain to enhance the competitiveness of the entire industry in the international market.
