Insufficient investment in research and development of China's auto parts industry needs urgent improvement


China's auto parts industry becomes bigger and stronger, and then participates in international competition, increasing R&D investment and independent innovation have become imperative.

The author recently learned at the 63rd National Auto Parts Trade Fair held here that the export value of auto parts and auto bodies in China reached 23.8 billion U.S. dollars in 2007. At present, China has basically formed six parts and components industry regions such as Northeast China, Beijing-Tianjin, Central China, Southwest China, Yangtze River Delta, and Pearl River Delta, and has formed a complete system for the supply of domestic automakers. FAW, SAIC, and Dongfeng respectively established Fu Ao Auto Parts Co., Ltd., Shanghai Automotive Components Group, and Dongfeng Automotive Components Business Unit.

Tian Yamei of China Automotive Parts Industry (Group) Company believes that at present, China's auto parts companies are transforming from building capacity to brand building, from import and digestion to autonomous development, and from domestic to domestic and foreign markets.

In recent years, there have also been three major changes in the investments of multinational component giants in China: from equity participation to controlling, from joint ventures to sole proprietorship, and from possessive markets to monopoly markets. Foreign-funded enterprises gradually occupy a dominant position in China's auto parts industry, bringing considerable challenges to the survival and development of local parts and components companies.

Experts believe that the lack of R&D investment and poor ability to independently innovate is one of the major issues facing auto parts companies in China. According to the general statistics of foreign companies, the average investment of the parts and components industry should be 1.2 to 1.5 times that of the entire vehicle company, while the current situation in China is below 0.3, which is significantly lower than the international average. In developed countries, the research and development capabilities of auto parts companies have been ahead of vehicle companies. With the development of a new car, 70% of the intellectual property rights belong to auto parts companies, while the vast majority of parts and components companies in China do not have product development capabilities. Product development mainly depends on the host plant, it is difficult to adapt to the requirements of the entire vehicle replacement.

Dong Jianping, deputy secretary-general of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, believes that in recent years, China's auto parts companies have not given full attention to innovation and have encountered many bottlenecks. For example, China's commercial vehicles are about to implement the National III emission standards, involving a diesel common rail technology, and our diesel engines mainly use piston-type high-pressure oil pumps. To achieve the national III standard, it is impossible to use traditional technology, and it is necessary to achieve a leap from mechanical to electronic control technology. If it is not innovative, it will be eliminated if it does not break through. At present, many foreign companies have established wholly-owned technology centers in China. In these places, we do not master the core technologies and only grasp some applied technologies. If we do not engage in independent innovation, we will become increasingly marginalized. Not only is production marginalized, but also marginalized in terms of technology and technology research and development.

Dong Jianping believes that in China, the era of buying technology has passed. The key to China's auto parts industry becoming bigger and stronger is to innovate independently.

Experts suggest that in order to meet the requirements for the simultaneous development of automobiles and parts and the development of systems, auto parts companies must increase investment in product development funds, improve the ability of auto parts innovation, use technology as the core, give full play to their own advantages, and strive to form a group. Scale and specialization.
