The trend of heavy-duty truck companies focusing on building core parts and components systems is obvious, and there are many forms. After analyzing some typical models, the reporter believes that the way for heavy truck companies to build core parts systems can be roughly classified into four types.
Self-built system
FAW Jiefang, Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles and CNHTC are typical self-built core parts system models. After many years of development, FAW and Dongfeng have already established a sound core component system. While ensuring internal supply, some powerful internal component companies (such as Xichai) can also be supplied to other vehicle companies.
Since separating from Weichai, China National Heavy Duty Truck, which is in danger of being cut off from the Engine, has invested in Jinan Power and won a series of operations such as Hangfa, reorganization of Shanxi Dadai Group, and technological innovation and technical reform measures. It has reopened itself in a relatively short period of time. Establish a power supply system. Today, China National Heavy Duty Truck has become one of the few companies in China that has a complete set of key components such as cabs, engines, transmissions, and axles.
Group supply
Vehicle companies in this model are often affiliated with a certain group. Vehicle companies do not have absolute power in the system, and Shaanxi Auto is typical. SAIC Iveco Hongyan can also be classified as such.
After Weichai controlled Shaanxi Auto, Shaanxi Auto owned such a gold industrial chain as Weichai, Fast and Hande Axle. In fact, in this model of intra-group supply, Shaanxi Auto was controlled by Weichai, and the vehicle companies did not have enough power to lead Xi'an Cummins. Recently, industry sources disclosed to reporters that Xi’an Cummins’s support for Shaanxi Steam is very small and almost negligible. The person judged that Weichai and Shaanxi Automobile may have reached an agreement that Weichai guarantees the supply of Shaanxi Automobile's power supply, while Shaanxi Automobile can only use the power of Weichai.
SAIC Iveco Hongyan had its own axle plant before SAIC Motor was incorporated into SAIC. After entering SAIC, its latest main product, Hongyan Jieshi, was fitted with Philippine red power, and old Hongyan products (such as Hongyan King Kong etc.) were partially Supporting diesel power. As Iveco itself is one of the shareholders of Hongyan, SAIC Iveco Hongyan is more interested in building a global development center for Iveco's low-cost heavy trucks, opening up the international market with Iveco's global network. It can be expected that SAIC Iveco Hongyan’s power supply package will increasingly use the Shang Fei Hong engine.
Joint venture
Futian Auman is a typical “leverage†company that has established its own key parts and components systems through continuous alliances and signing of joint ventures and cooperation agreements with supporting plants. For example, since the establishment of a strategic alliance with Weichai in 2006, the cooperation has been deepened year by year; the Memorandum of Understanding on Strategic Cooperation with Eaton has been signed.
In recent years, Futian Auman intends to enter the international market and build a global gold supply chain. The latest products include the Auman CTX, Cummins Power, Jiekebo Braking System, Eaton Transmission, Eaton Clutch, and German ZF Steering Gear. In place, at the same time using Mercedes-Benz technology for system professional matching.
As for the engine that is the heart of the vehicle, Futian Auman does not intend to be controlled by Others. In July 2010, Foton signed a "Joint Venture Contract" with Daimler, and the two parties established a 50:50 joint-venture joint venture company. The joint venture company will produce Futian Automobile's existing "Futian Auman" medium and heavy truck products, and will also produce OM457 heavy truck engines with Daimler licensed emission standards and powers of Euro V and 490 horsepower, respectively. After production, the vehicle production capacity is 100,000 vehicles/year, and the OM457 engine is 45,000 units/year.
Acquire technology and financial support, quickly increase the level of core power and own your own engine. To achieve these three goals simultaneously, joint ventures with international brands are a shortcut. In order to establish its own core parts and components system as soon as possible, the heavy-duty truck industry set off a “joint venture†with Jianghuai and Navistar, Foton and Daimler, Sinotruk and Mann. These joint ventures were introduced without exception. Engine products.
Industry Alliance
At the Beijing auto show last year, the joint truck debuted for the first time. Whether it was a “failed†price from its peers or a tyrannical shape and an “unrealistic†sales target, it triggered “ Hot discussion."
However, Tu Xiaoyue, general manager of Jirui Union Truck Marketing Services Co., Ltd., is confident in the joint model. The five core strategic partners behind the combined trucks – CIMC, Chery Automobile, Yuchai Group, Fast Group and Fuhua Heavy Industry, are the largest logistics equipment and special vehicle manufacturers in China, and independent brand automobile manufacturers. Diesel engine manufacturers, heavy truck transmission manufacturers and axle manufacturers. It can be said that the combined truck at the beginning of the establishment has integrated the industry's advantage of spare parts resources.
This model was painted by Xiaoyue as the "industrial coalition." He repeatedly mentioned the 45% 45% 10% shareholding structure of the joint truck on different occasions. "50% to 50%, the pinpoint to McMang, both are tough and once they fight Raflata will not open, and 45% to 45%, who do not account for the bulk, once the noise, that 10% of the investors will mediate from the perspective of maintaining corporate interests, which fundamentally avoids The problem of stock ownership is big.†Tu Xiaoyue said: “This is an independently-operated company. It does not belong to any one company, but it also has the resources of shareholders of all parties.â€
Tu Xiaoyue believes that this open component system is a better choice for companies to establish their own core component systems. “We are only a strategic alliance enterprise that is jointly developed in a project and will not restrict the development of the other party,†he told reporters.
In addition to the aforementioned companies, Beiben and JAC can also be regarded as having their own core component systems, such as axles and transmissions. However, due to the limited production capacity of its own system and the absence of the most core engine parts, most of the ancillary supply still needs independent component manufacturers such as Fast, Weichai, and Yuchai.
Of course, the heavy truck manufacturers are not completely particular about their own parts and components systems, and more or less have used the products of independent parts manufacturers, such as Weichai, Yuchai, Fast, and so on.
