In 2008, the Chinese internal-combustion engine industry ushered in a century of development. China's internal combustion engine industry has become an engine-producing country with an annual output of 57 million engines (1 billion kilowatts) and sales revenue of 229.4 billion yuan (2007 figures). In the wake of the ups and downs of 2008 and the year 2009, how will China's internal combustion engine industry sum up and meet the future? In this connection, our reporter visited the two heads of the secretariat of the China Internal Combustion Engine Industry Association - the executive deputy chairman and concurrently Mr. Xing Min, Secretary-General, and Mr. Wei Anli, Deputy Secretary-General. Anti-disaster emergency rescue and drought relief In 2008, China's internal combustion engine industry achieved an annual output of 1 billion kilowatts of mobile power, which not only brought convenience to the daily lives of the people, but also played an indispensable role in safeguarding the national economy. In the event of a natural disaster, the internal combustion engine The various vehicles and machinery that are driven have played a huge role in disaster relief and rescue. The reporter received a letter of thanks from the China Internal Combustion Engine Industry Association issued by the State Council's Office of Coal, Electricity, Transportation, and Disaster Relief Emergency Command Centers after the Southern China ice and snow disaster last year. The content is: the history of rare cold temperatures in southern China. In the rescue of disasters caused by rain and snow and ice disasters, you actively responded to the call of the country, set up an Emergency Responsiveness Emergency Responsiveness Group promptly, and actively organized the establishment of a peer-to-peer relationship between the production enterprises and the disaster-afflicted areas in accordance with the unified deployment of the Coal and Electricity Transportation and Emergency Responding Emergency Command Center of the State Council. The supply and demand channels effectively ensure the supply of emergency electromechanical equipment in the disaster area... In fact, in the disasters that have continued in the past two years, the various operating capabilities of the internal combustion engine as a mobile device have played an outstanding role in various emergency rescue operations. In recent drought-reduced agricultural fields across the country, we have repeatedly seen shots of agricultural machinery equipped with internal combustion engines. In 2008, the overall market stabilized the early release of heavy-duty diesel engine production capacity Talking about the overall operation of the internal combustion engine industry in China in 2008, Wei Anli concluded: In 2008, China’s internal combustion engine industry was generally operating smoothly in the areas of scientific research, production, sales, market services, and international market development. The operation conditions in the first three quarters were normal. The abnormality is mainly due to the heavy-duty vehicle engine (6-12 liters of medium- and heavy-duty commercial vehicle diesel engines have grown faster than 50% in the first three quarters). As the state postponed the implementation date of the National 3 emission standards, manufacturing companies have developed unconventional high-speed development in order to stimulate and occupy the market. This has been particularly prominent in the market operation in the first half of 2008. For light vehicles, due to the delay of the implementation date of the National 3 emission standards, lighter-vehicle engine companies have more preparation time, so the light-vehicle engine market is relatively normal and has not been affected much. As for the impact of natural disasters such as freezing and earthquakes on the industry, Wei Anli said that in fact natural disasters bring vitality to the Chinese internal combustion engine industry. As for the impact of the financial crisis, Wei Anli believes that compared with some industries with a large export volume, the internal combustion engine industry has suffered a limited impact, mainly because domestic demand determines the market's quality. In 2008, various companies are earnestly preparing or implementing the implementation of the National Three Standards, which can be said to be a major highlight of the industry. Wei Anli explained that in the past most companies adopted a wait-and-see attitude. Now that the company's environmental awareness and social responsibilities have improved, the active participation component has greatly increased. Calmly objectively identify weaknesses and difficulties Although China’s internal combustion engine industry has occupied a quarter of the world’s total production capacity, compared to several major global engine manufacturing markets in the world, the Chinese internal combustion engine industry has no other characteristics except capacity, and the overall strength of passenger car gasoline engines There is still a gap between the power competitiveness of weak and light vehicles and the world level. The China Internal Combustion Engine Industry Association has identified problems and difficulties in this regard: The government’s relevant departments have paid little attention to the internal combustion engine industry in terms of energy conservation and emission reduction efforts, and in particular, the country’s support for and application of new technologies have not been sufficiently tilted; In the work of energy-saving and emission-reduction of internal combustion engines, the promotion policies and measures for establishing government subsidies, corporate potential exploration, and individual consumer pay-as-you-go are unclear; diesel engine fuel system manufacturing system builds national brands and technology reserves, and the internal combustion engine discharge post-processing industry scale and technology Progress will be the biggest difficulty in restricting the development and progress of China's internal combustion engine industry in the future. Core Technology Autonomous Solutions Become a Key Many Measures in 2009 Worth Expecting Turning to the work that the internal combustion engine industry had to do in 2009, Xing Min said that the China Internal Combustion Engine Industry Association needs to conduct research together with various internal combustion engine companies to find out the conditions of the internal combustion engine industry and analyze and predict the future market development according to the characteristics of the internal combustion engine industry. He emphasized that as the highest technologically advanced assembly in the car, the internal combustion engine has always been relatively unsophisticated in the industry. In the past, it always appeared in other mechanical assemblies with a supporting attitude. This traditional view should be changed. Industry must have its place in the Chinese machinery industry. In 2009, another major event that the association set out to do was to closely follow the country's major policies and continue to do a good job in independent innovation and energy conservation and emission reduction. In this regard, Xing Min proposed that we must focus on companies and organize public R&D platforms. To this end, the China Internal Combustion Engine Industry Association has established an expert committee and established a corresponding network platform. It is understood that through the work of the Committee of Experts, it is also possible to get involved in the work of the 12th Five-Year Plan of the internal combustion engine industry as soon as possible. In addition, around the transformation of production methods and the optimization and upgrading of industries and products, the Association will focus on promoting industrial restructuring in the three core technology areas of fuel systems, exhaust after-treatment systems and supercharging systems in 2009. These include companies and products. Double restructuring of the structure, and will be carried out around the product. In response, Xing Min proposed a thought-provoking question: Did the internal combustion engine industry have a real million-million-unit group for so many years? At the same time, he also lamented that the country has given such a good industrial policy to industries and enterprises. What can we do? It's okay to say nothing now, but after five years and ten years, if the internal combustion engine industry is still not growing stronger, what else can we say? To this end, the China Internal Combustion Engine Industry Association made recommendations to the relevant management departments: First, aiming at improving competitiveness, aiming at the diesel engine fuel system and the internal combustion engine emission post-processing system, a special national project for technical transformation of industrial projects was proposed. The scientific and technical competent departments shall arrange the key technologies, key processes, and supporting calibration control strategies to meet the needs of the three scientific research projects. Questions and give financial support. Through the above two technological transformation projects and three scientific research projects, solving the current biggest weakness of the internal combustion engine industry in China is also a fatal and difficult problem in the development of the entire industry. The second is the introduction of energy conservation and emission reduction support policies, especially for small single-cylinder engines with Chinese characteristics, it is recommended to provide support on taxation. Third, due to technological advances in the industry and international market requirements for the quality and performance of China's internal combustion engine products, the industry will face a new round of replacement of manufacturing equipment. It is recommended that special subsidies and tax exemptions for key manufacturing equipment imported from the internal combustion engine industry be introduced. The fourth is to legislate to establish a long-term encouragement mechanism for tax incentives for new technologies for energy-saving and emission reduction in internal Ningbo Dasky Life Science/ Eralab Scientific Instrument(HK)Co., Limited. , https://www.daskyswab.com
