General manager Joe Worth of Anhui Jianghuai Navistar diesel engine company told the China Truck Network reporter: "After the joint venture, Navistar introduced the 2.8-liter, 3.2-liter and 4.8-liter displacement series in the first phase. Among the three production lines, the 2.8-liter series of engine products are mainly JAC's autonomous engine (JAC's existing HFC4DA12.8L engine). At the same time, we also plan to introduce larger-displacement engines for medium and heavy-duty trucks. In the phase, the joint venture company will introduce and realise Navistar high-power heavy-duty engines, which include 7.2L, 9.3L and 13L diesel engines, and may even exceed 13L.

Jianghuai Navistar Corporation has successfully started. The degree of integration of management concepts and values ​​determines how far the joint venture will go. General Manager Joe Worth has profoundly recognized the importance of this issue. He told the China Truck Network reporter: "The joint venture is first and foremost to solve the problems caused by cultural differences, differences in business strategies, and differences in the development history. The two sides of the investment are highly integrated, and on the basis of complementing each other's advantages, a more suitable business model is developed. Both parties can jointly face the existence of an overseas market that is continuing to develop. This opportunity and complementary prospects are enormous."

Technology leadership and consistency are common expectations of both parties including domestic high-end users. "Completely technically ready, whether it is the current State III model or the future State IV model. The joint venture has introduced completely mature products and production lines, and the mature products have been subjected to continuous tests of application consistency." According to Si, "In terms of manufacturing parts and components, in accordance with strict procurement requirements, we are actively making localized purchases on the one hand and mature key parts and components on the other hand to ensure consistent quality."

China IV is the biggest suspense and challenge in China's diesel engine market, and Jianghuai Navistar is arguing that the implementation of State IV is the biggest opportunity. Since the joint venture project was approved in July 2012, Navistar has worked closely with JAC to jointly develop an engine suitable for the Chinese market's IV standard. For Navistar, this is an excellent opportunity to join forces with powerful companies such as JAC to introduce Navistar's products with fuel-saving and emission reduction advantages to China. Navistar has long had experience with Euro IV and even National IV emissions standards. Joeworth said: "Navistar once introduced products that meet Euro 5 standards in the Brazilian market. The problems encountered in China today are very similar to those encountered in Brazil. For example, different countries have different oil standards. Our R&D product must be a product that combines local oil products and environmental development and compliance. Adaptation is the most basic capability and requirement for a multinational joint venture."

As one of the few high-end diesel engines in China's light commercial vehicle market, its market positioning has always been of concern. Wang Yunsheng, deputy general manager of Anhui Jianghuai Navistar diesel engine company, told China Trucking Network reporter: "On JAC light commercial vehicle procurement platform, JAC Navistar competes equally with other diesel engine suppliers; in other brands, light commercial vehicles With regard to supply opportunities, Jianghuai Navistar will supply its products equally. Jianghuai Navistar will support mid- to high-end light trucks with the image of helpers and support the international marketing of China's light trucks. "As a free competitor, its market needs Quality and price to fight for.

In fact, Navistar has already had successful experience here. Looking at its North American operations, customers of Navistar Diesel Engine Services include General Motors, Ford, Volvo and Volkswagen. Similarly, Jianghuai Navistar will initially regard Jianghuai as the most important customer, but with the development of the joint venture, it will certainly open up more user groups, which is also likely to be the JAC light commercial vehicle vehicle. Competition products. In general, Jianghuai Navistar will establish a set of characteristic products and service standards for the majority of users in China.

People are full of expectation for JAC Navistar, whether it is JAC Navistar's light commercial vehicle engine, or the medium- and heavy-duty commercial vehicles that are not motivated, or the North American-style school buses and North American-style medium-heavy trucks under discussion. Jianghuai and Navistar, two automobile giants from east and west, can go hand in hand? The joint venture between JAC and Navistar Light Commercial Vehicle Engines has already begun.
