In the recently concluded Shanghai auto show, the reporter had an interview with Delphi, Bosch, Eaton and BorgWarner and other foreign parts enterprises concerned. When talking, they always referred repeatedly to a reporter words like: "Design solutions." This has led to a reporter's interest.
An industry told reporters that China lags behind the development of vehicle parts development, domestic enterprises are still emphasized the vehicle assembly plant for accessories, spare parts abroad has long been a design solution first.
Foreign enterprises: first design solution
Parts and products are often developed simultaneously vehicle development, or even ahead of the vehicle development. Vehicle enterprises may just have a concept, in parts enterprises into joint development. Parts enterprises not only to provide spare parts for vehicle assembly plant, is to provide the overall product design and problem solutions.
"We often will take the initiative to provide design-solutions, product positioning, development, and a series of work is completed by us." Eaton (China) Investment Co. auto components group client manager Wu Yong said.
BorgWarner president Shen-hui in an interview with this reporter, said that BorgWarner's five technology centers are all research conducted in parallel in order to achieve synergy to provide customers with total solutions, rather than a single component.
"Vehicle parts enterprises and enterprise synchronization, collaborative development, both technical requirements very consistent, develop more accurate, faster, but the two sides share the risk. Of course, this is in a vehicle assembly plant and parts enterprises on the basis of mutual trust and reciprocity, the right parts enterprises such as the research and development capabilities also high demand. "China Automobile Industry Advisory Committee that the Secretary-General-Lok.
Another one industry expert said, these countries attach great importance to intellectual property rights, foreign car parts enterprises with enterprises equal cooperation, and sometimes even occupy some dominance, and they have some unique invention patents and technology are inseparable.
Local enterprises: to provide mainly accessories
When a reporter asked about product design solutions, many local parts enterprises, consider this little, some people said they had not heard of this concept. "Our production is more mature, relatively low technological content of products, manufacturing processes are simple. Usually the whole plant is proposed technical requirements, we provide products. "Private enterprises a responsible person told the reporter.
A "used" spirit
Experts believe that China's enterprises in order to speed up the development of parts and components, and reduce the gap between the advanced international level, there must be "used" of the spirit, more advanced learning abroad experiences and practices.
"Parts and components for the enterprise-from simple changes to the provision of matching design solution, which has become a trend abroad, but at home has just begun. I personally believe that such practices conformed to the needs of market competition, which is worth learning from. "Beijing University aviation space vehicle engineering Professor Xu Xiang said.
Chongqing Qijiang gear and deputy chief engineer for the company, told reporters yuan, some research stronger domestic enterprises have realized this point, are trying to plant a car and closer relations of cooperation, while providing accessories in product development to solve technical problems with the vehicle assembly plant strengthen exchanges and cooperation.
Xu Xiangyang, a design solution is very feasible way is not only beneficial to enterprises on parts of the vehicle enterprises also benefit from it, can achieve a win-win situation. "The current development of the domestic new car very quickly, not all links are complete vehicle assembly plant, which would require parts suppliers to meet, so that they bear part of tasks. But often parts enterprises in certain areas than to professional vehicle assembly plant, to reduce development costs, improve product quality good. " |
