In terms of major equipment manufacturing, the reporter learned that Guangdong’s current domestic market position and market capacity are very important, and it also has certain advantages in terms of technology. However, there are still some common problems in the country. Taking auto parts as an example, “Our crisis lies in the fact that there is no technology and the existing technology is still others. This is the key to the auto industry in Guangdong and even China.†Li Cixun, chairman of the Guangdong Automobile Industry Association, told reporters.
Independent development can not just stare at the vehicle
Although there are rumors that Guangzhou Automobile Group will achieve results in its own brand cars in the next few years, Lu Zhifeng, general manager of the group, emphasized to reporters that in terms of innovation, independent development can not only focus on the entire vehicle, but also parts and components. The need for independent development, and spare parts to achieve independent development, will have a great role in promoting the autonomous development of the vehicle.
It is understood that there are nearly 400 major manufacturers of auto parts in Guangdong Province. However, Luo Jiansheng, deputy director of the Guangdong Provincial Economic and Trade Commission, believes that the autonomous development capability of the auto parts industry in Guangdong is still relatively weak. The auto manufacturers can use products with relatively low technological content. The key technical components are either blank or It is wholly foreign-owned. Li Cixun also believes that in the production of parts and components, some local governments blindly fail to conduct scientific arguments, duplicate investments, and do not measure the long-term risks of business development. Such a price is too heavy. At the same time, these enterprises are mostly labor-intensive and low-tech enterprises. There are many companies that produce automobile tires, glass, and tape recorders, but there are few that can produce ABS and EFI systems. And these are exactly where innovation is needed. Some experts said that in the development and innovation of auto parts and components, we should first absorb the advanced technologies of other countries and then develop our own products.
Market capacity can support innovation
During the interview, experts all said that Guangdong now has a considerable market capacity to support self-innovation. Now the three major Japanese auto giants have settled in Guangzhou, and Shenzhen BYD Auto has also started. Hundreds of parts and components companies have taken root in Guangzhou and the surrounding areas, and areas such as Guangzhou and Foshan have formed large-scale auto parts industry clusters. This creates a very good market condition for independent innovation.
From the point of view of vehicle manufacturing, the automotive industry with Guangzhou as its leader has maintained a strong growth momentum this year. From January to August this year, a total of 250,000 cars were produced in Guangzhou, an increase of 50.43% year-on-year, 35 percentage points higher than the national average, and the national car production increased from 11.5% in 2004 to 13.74%, ranking second in the country. Bit, second only to Shanghai. This year, the production of cars in Guangzhou has surpassed Jilin Province. Guangdong's automobile industry, led by Guangzhou, has seen its output and output value grow at a rate of around 50% in recent years, becoming the fastest growing and most attractive spot in the three pillar industries of Guangdong's nine major industrial industries and Guangzhou. . This provides a vast market space for the independent development of parts and components.
Experts suggest that if they can make breakthroughs in key auto parts, Guangdong enterprises will have the opportunity to integrate into the procurement scope of the entire country and even the global vehicle manufacturing.
