Domestic car manufacturers will exceed the level of imported cars

Core tips:

As more and more automakers expand the production line, the new depot will be directly applied to the most advanced production technologies. The improvement of hardware, coupled with the increased ability of the Chinese people to control the quality of automobile production, will surely make the quality of imported vehicles generally higher than that of domestic cars become a thing of the past. The rest may be the replacement of the consumer's inherent ideas.

For many years, imported cars have been synonymous with high quality in China. Whether it is produced in Germany, the United States, Sweden, Japan or South Korea. Imports often represent high quality. In many domestic auto brands' advertisements or advertisements, the words “using international production technology” such as “in line with international standards” often appear. Most consumers in the subconscious, the Metropolis believes that the domestic production process will be behind some of the most foreign production.

In fact, consumer concerns are not groundless. With years of development, China's auto industry has become quite large. After surpassing the United States for the first time in 2009 to become the world’s largest automobile production and sales country, China will once again sit steadily in the position of global auto production and sales volume in 2010. Behind the booming market, however, the corresponding level of equipment manufacturing is indeed underdeveloped. In recent years, China has introduced a large number of advanced equipment from abroad, and the level of automotive equipment has greatly improved. Many domestic equipment manufacturers have also introduced technology, purchased products to produce patents, and joint ventures to produce domestic urgently needed equipment in machining, casting, and forging. Some progress has been made in heat treatment, welding, and painting. However, as a whole, the level of domestic automotive equipment manufacturing still can not meet the needs of the development of the automotive industry. This situation makes many key technologies excessively dependent on foreign countries. It is inevitably positioned at the low end in international competition and cannot master the initiative of international competition.

However, this situation is continuously improving. Although the overall production technology of the domestic automobile production enterprises still does not reach the international advanced level. However, some top-notch companies have achieved the momentum of becoming a world-class car company. Taking the engine as an example, the production of the engine originally belongs to the field of relatively high technology. The construction of a large number of engine manufacturers in the country means improvement of technology for the enterprise and the entire industry, and the ultimate purpose of upgrading the technology is also very clear. The competitiveness, but also may reduce manufacturing costs.

According to media reports, Shanghai GM, SAIC, and FAW-Volkswagen have consistently ranked in the forefront of domestic automobile manufacturing and sales after experiencing the increasingly powerful impact of Japanese cars over the past few years, and these three families have relatively strong independent engine manufacturing capabilities. . The former even uses minivans with its own engine, and constantly optimizes and upgrades its own engine according to the needs of the market, and has always maintained a relatively strong competitiveness. The latter is the introduction of German Volkswagen's latest injection technology into the domestic manufacturing, with the dual clutch transmission, formed its own technical advantages in the country. At the same time, it also makes its own product prices more competitive. Although German counterparts such as Daimler have also begun to increase technical inputs including engines in recent years, the huge advantage of first-in-class still makes Audi, including its premium brand Audi, a great benefit.

It is not uncommon for domestic auto companies to surpass international standards. Renault-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn recently made a special trip to China to personally award Renault-Nissan's top-five world-famous factory-level championship medals to Dongfeng Nissan. It is reported that this is another heavyweight award that Dongfeng Nissan received from the Nissan Global President Award in manufacturing. What is worth mentioning is that, in order to realize the healthy competition of Renault-Nissan's global factories, Renault Nissan will comprehensively evaluate the quality, cost, delivery and other aspects of its 35 global factories in 2010. Dongfeng Nissan Huadu Plant and Leiyang Plant It has won the championship and second place in Nissan's 35 manufacturing plants worldwide. Carlos Ghosn stated that “According to industry experience, it takes about 10 years for a brand new overseas factory to catch up with Nissan’s highest manufacturing standards, but Dongfeng Nissan shortens this cycle to 8 years, which not only signifies Nissan’s The manufacturing level has surpassed Renault-Nissan's global highest standards, becoming the new benchmark of Renault-Nissan's global manufacturing level.” Insiders pointed out that Dongfeng Nissan has defect points, market failure rate, and partial spare parts inventory per one hundred vehicles. On indicators such as cycle time, it surpassed the established benchmarking factories in Japan, such as Chachin, Tochigi and Kyushu. In various aspects of production and manufacturing, through the improvement of production mechanisms and management, an innovative Dongfeng Day production model “DNPW” ​​is formed.

Experts said that the quality of domestically produced cars is higher than that of foreign manufacturers. It is no longer a myth. As more and more automakers expand the production line, the new depot will be directly applied to the most advanced production technologies. Improvements in hardware coupled with people’s increased ability to control the quality of automobile production. The era that will surely make the quality of imported vehicles generally higher than that of domestic cars has gradually become a thing of the past. The rest, perhaps, is the replacement of the inherent sense of the consumer.
