From the 1980s, China's car on the four tires and a car radio and overseas supporting the introduction of the car, now a growing number of automotive components have been able to manufacture in China, but the industry outside of the heart is Car of the core parts - the engine and transmission technology, for a long time has not been domestic automobile manufacturers by the master, often a strong domestic auto sales, output Shangbu Qu, or large profits were taken overseas manufacturers of Gan Galata. Fortunately, all these years, an increasing number of domestic automobile factories in this area has made considerable progress, more and more China-made engines and transmissions used in domestic vehicles on.

Joint venture to a new direction

As the car the "heart", has been the engine of China-made cars domestic various factories attention, manufacturers are continuing to make progress in this regard.

The first manufacturing joint venture with Volkswagen sedans Shanghai Volkswagen's engine plant from August 1986 since its establishment, has become China's largest car production base of the engine, the engine of not only its manufacturing assembly in the Passat, Santana, the Baltic Different configuration of the car, but also export some products. Lou Tong as the engine production plant in 2009 even planned to put into production advanced 1.4 LTSI engine of environmental protection. At the same time, Volkswagen and FAW joint venture in Dalian, the engine plant has also started normal operations, which are produced by 1.8 TSI and 2.0 TSI engine has been carrying in a step-teng and Sikedaming Rui models, also plans to export part Products. Engine, one of the most important parts of the transmission is the main direction of China-made cars from Volkswagen (China) Investment Co., FAW Car Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Automotive Company Limited jointly organised Volkswagen Transmission (Shanghai) Limited (VWTS) on October 29, 2001 formally established. Apart from the main Shanghai Volkswagen, FAW-Volkswagen Group and the general public within the other providers available, some export products. The latest news, engine plant in Dalian introduction of the public may have advanced DSG dual-clutch gearbox, to match the domestic new car.

In fact, as the domestic auto industry increasingly developed, there are more and more international auto giants with their joint venture partners in China in China's domestic car engines and transmissions. The end of last year, Toyota-Steam Engine Co., Ltd. celebrated the first 500,000 engines off the assembly line, the plant was established in 2004, mainly produced 1 AZ-FE2.0L and 2 AZFE2.4L engine, the assembly in Guangzhou Toyota's Camry, and other high-end of the Models. In addition, the Dongfeng Honda Engine Co., Ltd. for its products supporting the manufacturing of automotive engine and transmission, and other key components. Even in China joint venture Zaoche smooth Italian Fiat car company, also announced the beginning of this year's Fiat power technology research and development (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. in its research and development centers in China to the engine and gearbox Local development. The R & D center of the total investment of 22 million euros, will be built to focus on gas, diesel engine and gearbox of research and development, science and technology is the driving force for Fiat in the world's leading research and development centers, mainly for the Chinese domestic market, Fiat also supply the global market.

Independent brands of ambition

Engine and transmission costs related to products rather heavy part, is working among the mainstream of China's domestic automobile factory independent brands, is also very keen on the development and manufacture of engines and transmissions, in order to create entirely "voluntary" to the new car .

The most obvious example of when pushing the Great Wall: In this year's Beijing Auto Show, car engines and released three of four transmission. Three of the four engines for gasoline engine, a diesel. All gasoline engine using VVT technology, lightweight aluminum design and advanced electronically controlled fuel injection system, the performance index of living in the advanced international level. VGT diesel engine using pressure, electronically controlled high-pressure common rail direct injection technology to ensure that the output of high power, high-torque, and with good fuel economy and low emissions characteristics. In three transmission, a four-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission, the other two were the precursor 5-speed manual transmission, Light five-speed transmission. According to reports, which several engine and transmission are the Great Wall Automobile independent research and development and well-known parts company with international cooperation, has full intellectual property rights and patented technology. As early as in late 2004, huge amounts of money from Geely for the construction of the engine, Engine Co., Ltd. in Shanghai Maple formally put into production, and its products, including 1.8 L, 1.6L, 1.5L, 1.3L series of four petrol engines, and has Domestic exports. Of course, own-brand cars now start with the hottest when pushed SAIC Rong-Wei, the huge investment by SAIC, the brand from the beginning, has listed its own engine and transmission manufacturing, while SAIC and Nanjing after merger With the steam from the South to buy the British car engine production lines, manufacturing products in China other than on own-brand counterparts have a clear advantage.

Another own-brand car maker Brilliance Group's ideas and above each slightly different, the beginning of this year and the Shanghai Brilliance Automotive Transmission Company signed, the two sides will cooperate in the production car series manual transmission and automatic transmission products. It is understood that the two companies have jointly funded the establishment of 150 million yuan in Shenyang SAIC Automotive Transmission Company Limited. And the cooperation plan with an annual output of 100,000 automatic transmission, and other rich timely manual transmission products.

Create professional engine and transmission manufacturing enterprises

The various engine and gearbox factory, mainly to meet the requirements in their own vehicle manufacturers, although some products are sold or exported, but not its main purpose. However, as China's domestic automobile manufacturers to the rapid development, lack of professional auto parts supplier supporting the issue of gradually revealed, in the engine and transmission manufacturing, the most famous is from Japan's Mitsubishi products: As early as in In the 1980s, Mitsubishi has already begun its introduction of the domestic engine. At present, Mitsubishi's engine production in China to 4 G campaign mainly by the Harbin Dongan Engine Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and Shenyang Aerospace Mitsubishi Motors Engine Manufacturing Company production, displacement of 1.3 liters -2.4 or in between, the main With the Lingshuai, F3, Junjie 1.6, Ruihu 2.0, 2.4 and Dongfangzhizi Haversian CUV, and other domestic car.

Not long ago, the Dongan Engine Manufacturing Co., Ltd. also signed the introduction of Mitsubishi four-speed and five-speed automatic transmission technology, will invest 2 billion yuan development and production of automatic transmission. One with an annual output of 150,000 sets, two have completed 300,000 sets of annual capacity, in 2010 after the completion of the main supporting domestic own-brand cars and Mitsubishi series models. It is reported that the introduction of the four-speed and five-speed automatic transmission can be matched in carrying 1.3 liters -2.4 liter engine car, in the past the company's products are the engine of convergence. Volume production early products will be mainly used Japanese imports of parts (KD pieces) to assemble these transmissions. The Dongan Engine transmission of these plans will ultimately enhance the localization rate to 90 percent. It is reported that Mitsubishi Motors intends to Dongan Engine for its Asian production companies to develop the engine manufacturing plant, in addition to new products available to the local domestic car manufacturers, also plans to export.

In short, the introduction of professional engine and transmission manufacturing technology, will become for some time to come China's automobile manufacturing industry hot spots, in addition to their own use other than for the sale of the components will be more and more, this is in line with the rapid development of China's automobile manufacturing industry needs.
