Hubei is located in the central region of China's “Linjiang Tonghai, Chengdong Kaixi, and the North-South intersectionâ€. The Hubei automobile industry emerged and developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s with the preparation and construction of Dongfeng Motor Corporation (formerly the second automobile manufacturer). The automobile industry has a very important position and role in the province and it also occupies a very important position in the country. Under the new situation, the entire automobile industry has put forward new requirements for the parts and components industry, and the parts and components industry is also trying to catch up with the entire vehicle to suit the development of the whole vehicle.
By the end of 2003, there were 363 automotive industry enterprises of a certain scale, 199,800 employees, 322,500 vehicle production, and total assets of 93.7 billion yuan, of which the net value of fixed assets was 26 billion yuan, and the current total industrial output value was 64.3 billion yuan. Yuan, achieved sales revenue of industrial products of 73.3 billion yuan, and completed profits of 2.903 billion yuan. In 2004, the output of automobiles, output value, and sales revenue increased by 4%, 23%, 23%, and 21% respectively over the previous year. The automobile production and sales volume, asset scale, total industrial output value, and sales revenue all rank third in the same industry in all provinces and cities across the country, with the total tax revenue and total profit ranking fourth. The economic indicators that Dongfeng Motor Company has achieved in the Hubei region accounted for 70% of the total value of similar indicators of the Hubei Automotive Industry, and automobile production and sales accounted for 95%.
At present, Hubei's vehicle production capacity is equal to Iran's production capacity. The government's planning goals and the goals of the entire vehicle company are relatively high, namely, the province's auto production capacity of 900,000 vehicles in 2007. The "million-level" car dream that Hubei people call in 1994 is just around the corner.
Adapting to this, it is both good news and strict requirements for the parts and components industry.
Supporting capacity of 500,000 parts
The industry has reached a consensus that the parts and components industry is the basis of the automotive industry. No part industry or parts and components industry has not been fundamentally improved, and the development of the automobile industry is just empty talk. Hubei's spare parts industry has become a top priority because of the development momentum of the entire vehicle.
By 2003, there were more than 700 auto parts companies in Hubei (Shiyan, Xiangfan, and Wuhan each accounting for about 200), 291 with a certain scale, employing 86,700 people, and total assets of 17.9 billion yuan. The total industrial output value at current prices was 23.6 billion yuan, and the total profit and tax was 1.47 billion yuan, of which, the profit was 690 million yuan. In the 31 parts and components companies with assets and sales revenue of “double over 100 million yuan†and parts and components projects under construction, the main conditions are:
First, the performance of the joint venture is unusually active, such as: Shendian, Delphi's annual production capacity of motor vehicles 1.5 million sets, comprehensive market share of 10%, ranking second in the country's industry; Valeo American standard car air conditioning, with an annual output of 65 Million Taiwan, tracking and market share of 12%, accounting for 25% of Shenlong Fukang supporting, ranking second in the country; Philips automotive bulbs, annual production capacity of 90 million, comprehensive market share of 62%, the first in the same industry in China One of the major suppliers in the Asia Pacific region.
The second is to implement "double-track" or multi-supporting enterprises with "Dongfeng" commercial vehicles and Shenlong cars, with strong development momentum, such as Double-Ocean, Pacific Accessory, and the First Automobile Electrical Appliance Factory.
The third is a joint venture under construction with large scale and high gold content. Such as Dongfeng Cummins Engine Co., Ltd., the full introduction of its most advanced electronically controlled engine platform, power range 105-370HP, to meet the European 3, Euro 4 emission standards, with an annual output of 130,000 units, will become China's largest diesel engine production base Invested 600 million yuan in annual output of 30,000 Renault dcillh large horsepower (420HP) engine project, also started construction in Shiyan; investment in 780 million yuan Nissan D310 cab project has completed 1/3 construction process; Germany ThyssenKrupp The joint venture established by Bo and Wuhan Zhongren Auto Parts Company settled in Wuhan Donghu Development Zone. At present, it has been seeking suppliers of chassis parts in Hubei. The chassis of its production will be supplied to Shenlong and other companies by the end of 2005. The sales volume will reach 600 million yuan in five years. Dongfeng Visteon Automotive Trim Systems Co., Ltd. is located in Wuhan, Hubei Province. , Shiyan two bases and so on.
Fourth, auto parts began to enter the global procurement system platform, such as Shendian, through the DRA company with the world's top 500 companies, the PG260G rotor to reach its factory assembly in Mexico, South Korea; Hang Lung introduced Delphi's steering gear technology, at the same time To supply GM Daewoo and supply components to Visteon; in addition, some parts and components, such as automotive air conditioners, bearings, crankshafts, aluminum rims, castings and forgings, have been exported to Europe and the United States and other countries and regions.
Hubei's auto parts and components have reached a capacity of 400,000 to 500,000 units. Of the 60 key components supported and developed by the country, 58 have initially formed supporting capabilities in Hubei. Apart from a few high-tech products such as EFI, ABS, and airbags, it has a certain production capacity. It shows that Hubei Province has begun to identify the main drawbacks of the parts and components industry and change its forces.
From the matching system to the procurement system
Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd. holds high the banner of the world and adheres to the strategic concept of “proactively integrating into international cooperation and developing and growing in cooperation and competitionâ€, including complete vehicles, parts and components and business networks. "Dongfeng" is facing a brand new operation and competition, will integrate suppliers according to high standards, and build a "pyramid" system. Component suppliers should follow the world trend of “Global Sourcing, System Support, and Module Supply†and use “minimum capital, best procurement quality, most advanced technology, shortest delivery time, best service†as the best procurement. in principle.
Hubei auto parts supporting supply situation? In 2003, a group of data released by the person in charge of the “Dongfeng†supporting department showed that: “Dongfeng†has an existing supporting volume of 12 billion, supporting 300 companies, and a purchase amount of 3.8 billion yuan; 157 Hubei provinces, supporting an amount of 2 billion yuan (including There were 7 joint ventures with a purchase amount of 1 billion yuan, accounting for 53% of the purchased parts and components. At the same time, there are 100 parts and components companies in Hubei supporting the Shenlong company, and the purchase amount is 1.609 billion yuan, accounting for 30% of the total purchase amount. Among them, there are 56 companies in Wuhan area that support the Shenlong, mainly seats, Bumpers, etc. Faced with such drastic changes, for local auto parts manufacturers in Hubei, it is a challenge, but also an opportunity, "thinking changes will progress, not into the defeat, into the thriving."
According to China's general automotive functional module division standard (ie, 4 major assemblies and 18 systems), and according to the Dongfeng company's definition of suppliers, that is, parts companies that can undertake systematization and modular supply will become a primary supplier. Businesses, providing complete systems such as power, chassis, and warehouses to complete vehicles; parts and components companies with specialized and large-scale production advantages will become second- and third-tier suppliers, and provide sub-suppliers to the next-tier suppliers. And parts. Accordingly, among the 89 auto parts companies in Hubei that currently own over a hundred million assets, there are approximately eight regional first-tier supplier conditions or companies with their basic characteristics, such as Dongfeng’s engine, axle, body, and frame. Factory; Qixing's cab; Feining steering wheel; Shashi air conditioning, etc.; Second and third level suppliers have about 35 companies, such as Shendian, Tongda, Double-Owl, Flying, Axis and other enterprises. It is still a difficult process for these companies to enter the country's first-tier, second-tier and third-tier suppliers. It is imperative to adopt the strategy of “preempting three levels, developing two levels, and squeezing one level inâ€.
Hubei auto parts have huge development space
According to the "New Industrialization Plan of the Hubei Machinery and Automobile Industry", reference is made to the astonishing speed of Beijing's automobile development and the forecast of China's automobile authority to the development prospects of the Chinese auto industry, taking into account factors such as the degree of customer acceptance of the models, and the future, 3-5 During the year, there was no problem with the annual output of 700,000 vehicles from Hubei.
It must be pointed out that the auto parts market in Hubei has formed a comprehensive, diversified, multi-level structure. There are also “three major†sectors that have potential market capacity: that is, supporting the entire vehicle and main engine outside the province; exports will be encouraged and improved; and the maintenance of the market will be large-scale and very substantial.
Hubei Automotive Industry will achieve "two" doubling of vehicles and parts in the next 3-5 years.
