Following the heavy-duty reorganization of heavy trucks on November 18, 2008, in early 2009, the world’s top 500 ZF owners wanted to control the largest bus transmission in China, Lijiang Gear, and recently Geely acquired two blockbusters in the world’s second largest transmission company, DSL, making China The transmission market has been pushed to the cusp following the engine, as has been the topic of engine attention in previous years. Since then, Chinese and foreign transmission-related companies and organizations have become more direct in their confrontation and rivalry. In particular, at the moment when the global auto market suffered setbacks and faced with reshuffling, the Chinese transmission market became another focus of competition. A rainy wind followed. Commercial Vehicles: Compete for AMT For the next phase of transmission technology that is suitable for the development of commercial vehicles in China, the voice in the Chinese car industry is relatively consistent, that is, AMT, but despite this, each has its own story, and each has its own technology in the same name. There are differences in the level of technology and means of implementation. Heavy truck: there is a sense of security Since Weichai solo, SINOCHEM has always felt that it lacks a sense of security in the supply chain of key components. How to prevent the head of the Damoclean sword from hanging over the Weichai gold industry chain may be the place where Ma Chunji has the most troubles in recent years. Therefore, the search for safety in the industrial chain by CNHTC is imminent and natural. After all, the engine has the support of Hangfa, and the transmission has become the most unstable link in the supply chain of heavy trucks. Prior to the first half of 2006, the power distribution of China National Heavy Duty Truck was more than 90% of its subsidiary's Weichai Steyr engine and Shaanxi Gear's twin countershaft transmission. However, this situation was gradually resolved after 2008. Heavy Trucks first handed WABCO, the expert of the world's commercial vehicle control system, to fully equip its 2009 new model HOWO7 with WABCO AMT, and then in November 2008, CNOOC Zero-cost restructuring of big teeth. As a result, the short board of CNHTC in the transmission seems to have been resolved, but it is not. First of all, WABCO's AMT is sure that the price is not too different from the price of domestic transmission products such as Fast and it is doomed to be popular in the price-sensitive Chinese heavy truck industry. Then it can only digest technology and innovate, but this is not the basis. Weak heavy trucks can solve things in the short term. And just getting back into the big eyes of their own can not solve this problem. Heavy truck models are mainly Steyr platforms, but the matching of large gear transmissions and heavy truck Steyr platforms is not good, big teeth lead products are heavy-duty automotive transmissions and automobile engine gears, and Steyr platform heavy trucks use double The countershaft transmission, which may also be the reason why CNHTC had been unsettled for a long time. Big gears can't be immediately replaced by the development of transmission technology. WABCO’s benefit from the joint action of heavy duty truck transmission is WABCO. WABCO: Focus on Commercial Vehicles The rumors rumors that Shouqi and WABCO have signed a secret supply agreement. This news was confirmed by relevant parties at the Shanghai auto show site at the CNHTC booth. Dr. Liu Liang, president of WABCO Asia Pacific, did not deny this. In the cooperation between Sinotruk and WABCO, Yu Sujie is a key figure in his marriage. In 2006, the heavy truck and Weichai vicissitudes left WABCO, who has been looking for more opportunities in China, to enter the sight of SINOTRUK and win the opportunity. Ms. Yu Sujie, who is the head of the multi-sector division of CNHTC, joined WABCO in early 1999. The joint venture company in China is currently the general manager of WABCO China. WABCO's ambition for Asia Pacific is not only in cooperation with Sinotruk but also in the Chinese market. Dr. Liu Liang, President of WABCO Asia Pacific, said in an interview with the reporter that the Qingdao plant is a demonstration unit of WABCO's global Six Sigma lean production concept and value stream management concept. The flexible production has enabled its annual transmission output to reach an astonishing number of Million sets, but mainly for export to other regions. But is it not that it is waiting for the Chinese market? WABCO hopes to penetrate the Chinese market with AMT technology suitable for commercial vehicles in China. Currently, it seems that it has achieved certain successes. In particular, WABCO's technology is mature and suitable for the Chinese market, but not only this one has such an idea. Eaton & ZF: Fear not regret Both Eaton and ZF started deploying China as early as 10 years ago, but unfortunately the harvest was minimal. There are two main Eaton partners in China: FAW Group and Fast, but they all seem to have failed. On the other hand, the 2009 Shanghai Auto Show FAW highlighted a 9-speed AMT transmission. The FAW Technology Center engineer told the media that the 10-speed transmission will also be trial-completed in the second half of 2009. The chairman of the Fast Group, Li Dakai, also publicly stated that 2009 In the second half of the year, it will also launch its own AMT transmission for commercial vehicles. With regard to the frustrations of cooperation with FAW and Fast, Eaton could have avoided as far as possible when interviewed by reporters. He strongly introduced the technology of hybrid transmissions to reporters. This is also where Eaton has recently taken off, new energy has been implemented, and several domestic companies have produced China. Passenger car transmission companies rushed to use Eaton’s technology, but they did not question the reporter’s question of “whether it would create a monopoly on the technical routeâ€. ZF, after entering China, seeks local production and plans to establish a transmission production base in the Asia Pacific region. It once extended its olive branch to the fangs. It is a pity that when Zarbabwe first introduced ZF's mechanical transmission manufacturing technology more than 20 years ago to produce heavy-duty transmissions, ZF can claim to control the production of dental caries without retaining R&D capacity and only make production. Right of discourse and autonomy, the two sides do not give in to each other until they are dragged into the present. Since then, the cooperation between the two sides has dragged on and on again. Now that China’s commercial vehicle market is getting bigger and bigger, ZF seems to be anxious. The holding intention at the beginning of the year is an expulsion. When reporters confirmed to the company whether the two parties signed a contract, Wang Yang, an executive at ZF (Suzhou), "had been talking for a long time and talked for more than ten years," and avoided answering questions. In front of the huge cake of the Chinese auto market, foreign companies could not sit still, and domestic companies did not do so. Extend! Infiltrate! In the field of commercial vehicle transmissions in China, high market share is a prominent feature (Fast has a market share of more than 80%), but this is not in line with market rules. In the increasingly open market competition in the future, the market share decline is inevitable, so the search for product line and market extension becomes an inevitable choice. The decayed teeth extend from the passenger car transmission to the heavy truck transmission and Fast is also entering the passenger car transmission. In addition, overseas markets are gradually being taken seriously by these companies. Not only were the boundaries of truck and passenger car transmissions broken, but the boundaries between commercial vehicles and passenger cars were also broken by domestic companies. Weichai is not only a must-have for the engine market, but also for the transmission field. In addition to the Fast, which we are familiar with, the Zhuzhou gear is a lesser-known addition. The joint venture company of Weichai Holding Co., Ltd. is a self-owned brand of domestic transmissions and the first brand of domestic transmissions. It is determined to become the largest and most powerful bridge gear R&D production base in China. In addition to FAW, Dongfeng commercial vehicles have their own relatively complete industrial chain, after the entry entrants Futian, Valin, and also want to enter the commercial vehicle Chery, SAIC and GAC how to build their own industrial chain, so the penetration between companies, Reverse osmosis will continue to be staged. In fact, the biggest focus of commercial vehicle transmissions is the competition between Chinese and foreign companies in technology and markets. In addition to the above-mentioned list of companies that we are familiar with, the outstanding feature of 2009 is that many transmission technology research and development companies and service companies are watching the Chinese market. Wu Li, general manager of China Jifu Power China, told reporters that in the next 2 or 3 years, his team in China will expand from the current 60 people to about 200 people. In the commercial vehicle transmission market, AT will gradually be eliminated by the market. AMT has just started. The common proposition of China's commercial vehicle transmission companies is to make the transition and master AMT key technologies as soon as possible.
