The automotive industry is speeding up this year's industrial chain

Soon after the smoke at the Shanghai Auto Show, the entire automotive industry has seen heavy news on the upstream and downstream. Domestic auto companies have begun to accelerate the layout of digital technology and energy vehicles. With the release of the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development”, the state’s support policy for strategic emerging industries has become more clear. As one of the seven strategic emerging industries, new energy vehicles will be supported by relevant industrial policies in the future, and its development prospects and industrial vitality have attracted the attention of the industry.

Digital Technology

Popularize all areas of the car

Perhaps just one year ago you couldn't imagine relying solely on your cell phone to control vehicle door locks, air conditioning, and other functions. But this has become a reality. Recently, OnStar announced that its users will soon be able to remotely control important vehicle functions via smartphones. The occupants can remotely control the vehicle through the mobile phone, and they can control the traffic conditions of the car at any time and experience the on-board services of OnStar. It is understood that the current release of the mobile phone program will cover almost all mainstream smart phone operating systems such as Apple, Android, Saipan, WP7, and Blackberry. At present, this is the first and only in-car system mobile phone application in the Chinese market. With a smartphone alone, users can safely complete all the functions of a traditional smart key, including remotely starting the vehicle, parking location tips, and locking and unlocking the doors.

In addition, digitization is not limited to the increase in functionality. After the digital car represented by the Roewe 550, the multifunctional commercial vehicle also began its own "digital journey." Recently, Jianghuai Xingrui launched the “Smart High-Tech” digital special-purpose vehicle series which is a representative of this, indicating that the development of the European multifunctional commercial vehicle market is entering a new stage. Its digital logistics vehicles, digital school buses, and digital buses have made public appearances for the first time. According to reports, the digital special-purpose vehicle is an intelligent traffic-specific vehicle that integrates data acquisition, intelligent monitoring, and process control on Jianghuai Xingrui's European multi-functional commercial vehicle platform, integrating computer, communication, and network technologies. A few days ago, three new digital car vehicles with new ideas have been exposed in advance. Among them, China’s first Internet of Things 3D logistics vehicle has been publicized for the first time, and has attracted attention from logistics industry experts and practitioners.

Autonomous automotive environment

Process attracts attention

The automobile-related environmental protection field also has considerable actions. In the near future, Zhongke Lifan has entered into a procurement contract with Taiwan Zhongyong, which will sell pure electric vehicles produced by Zhongke Lifan in the Taiwan region of China. Lifan Sinofan will thus become an independent car company. The first pure electric car company to land on Taiwan. It is reported that after this first pure electric vehicle is introduced into the station, Zhongke Lifan will also dispatch corresponding technicians and service personnel to support the local company's electric vehicle sales and service work. The follow-up may also be in the Taiwan region of China. Establish a KD factory to strengthen further cooperation between the two parties.

Coincidentally, Xu Jianyi, chairman of China FAW, also recently released China FAW "Low-carbon Energy Technology Strategy", namely "Blue Road Strategy", to demonstrate China FAW's ideas, layout and goals in energy conservation, emission reduction and new energy technologies. According to reports, China FAW's "Blue Road Strategy" is based on the support of the system, based on scientific and technological innovation, the pursuit of energy conservation and environmental protection, indigo blue sky, and promote the automotive blue-carbon energy-saving environmental protection technology a blue journey. Xu Jianyi pointed out that China's auto industry must adjust and optimize its industrial structure, enhance its ability to develop new products and build its own brand. To this end, China FAW's "Blue Land Strategy" will be carried out in two aspects: On the one hand, under the support of an independent innovation system, full use of mature technology resources at home and abroad to fully enhance the traditional power of low-carbon energy-saving technologies; on the other hand, breakthrough in the core Technology, control key components, accelerate the development of new energy commodity vehicles, and fully promote new energy vehicle strategies.

At the same time, besides breakthroughs in environmental protection products, environmental protection actions are also the top priority of independent brands in the development of enterprises. Recently, Foton Motor has also launched the “Every Earth Protector with Environmental Protection” charity environmental protection initiative, which aims to call for all parties to pay attention to the increasingly serious environmental issues, and jointly initiated in January 2011 by the United World Federation of Champions and some of the core media in China. A social environmental public welfare organization FMG was established.

Foreign companies tend to "behind the scenes"

Go to the "stage"

Recently, the joint venture between JAC and the heavy truck company Navistar was also released, demonstrating the determination of foreign giants to enter the Chinese market. Mr. Troy, former head of GM’s Asia Pacific region and currently president of Navistar Asia Pacific, stated: “The joint venture with JAC is an important step in the global development of Navistar. I am able to lead the company in Asia at this crucial time. Development is deeply honored.Navistar has attached great importance to the Chinese market.The United States and China have many similarities in many aspects such as infrastructure development. We can make full use of relevant experience and our fine tradition of innovation to help China reduces logistics costs. As we continue to expand our business in the Asia Pacific region, joint ventures with strong partners such as JAC will help us understand the local market quickly.”

In addition, the good prospects for electric vehicles have also driven the automotive technology development industry upstream of the industry chain. Valeo, an industrial group that has entered China for 15 years, recently submitted an electric demonstration vehicle equipped with a full range of Valeo electric drive systems to BAIC Beijing Automotive Industry Corporation to demonstrate that the group is reducing electric power. Technical expertise in automotive energy consumption systems. In 2010, the Group already had 15 production plants, 3 R&D centers, 8 engineering centers and an after-sale product distribution center in China. It is reported that Valeo has introduced all of the Group's product lines into China to meet the growing demand for domestic automotive technology.

People in the industry believe that with the rapid growth of the domestic automotive market in recent years, the entire automobile industry chain has entered an era of accelerated overall speed. Although a series of automobile restriction policies may impose restrictions on the growth of automobile sales, the prospects for the development of automobiles, their related design, and even the environmental protection industry are still promising.
