Car accessories industry crazy support will bring any consequences

What can I do in 10 minutes? The answer is: It can produce a set of core components needed for a series (10 sets) of complete vehicles. This scene occurred in an auto parts factory located in the Shunyi Industrial Park in Beijing.

The dual pressures of cost and market forces are forcing more and more OEMs to “crazy” reduce component costs and compress parts as much as possible. However, the problems exposed by such matching are also becoming more and more worrying.

Supporting "crimes"

Recently, a post on the Internet has attracted the attention of Dongfeng Nissan.

A person who claims to be working in the “Dongfeng Nissan R&D Center” for several years and is mainly responsible for the localization of resin materials has recently posted on various websites, “exposing” the insider's “localization” of Dongfeng Nissan. This person stated in his post that his Japanese boss had ordered him to “find the cheapest resin material in the country for the current series of JA, X11C, L11K (model code), etc. Regardless of specifications, regardless of brand, regardless of source, as long as the material can It is also possible to produce products.” Not only that, the person also claimed that Dongfeng Nissan added flavors and dyes to the materials used. These materials may have excessive levels of heavy metals. Lights may cause uncomfortable driving personnel, and may cause cancer or make pregnant women seriously. infant deformity.

Dongfeng Nissan immediately responded: “Dongfeng Nissan’s domestically-made models have strict compliance with Nissan's NES standards and national standards (GB) for any components and materials. If they do not meet any of these standards, it is absolutely impossible to enter the Dongfeng Nissan gate. ."

Coincidentally. Miss Chen (not his real name), who lives in Tianjin, once worked for a secondary component supporting factory in a main engine plant. As an ordinary worker, she did not involve the company's "insider" opportunity, but he fell in front of reporters. "This job can't be done. The company is pushing too tightly and it's always working overtime." Miss Chen, who had left, recalled, "Before I left, the company went to a workshop to meet the needs of the OEM. People. More than 10 hours of work time a day, the wages add up to less than 2,000 yuan."

Domestic speed

The first to offer a large-scale "cost reduction" banner is the German public who has been in China for 20 years. In March of this year, the 2005 financial statements published by Volkswagen Germany show that the Chinese market has become the "hit area" of its global market with a loss of EUR 119 million. FAW-Volkswagen and Shanghai Volkswagen are also seen as sources of losses.

Some analysts said that in the process of localization of key components, the public lacked long-term consideration. “VW has not been able to establish an accessory system in China. The key components of North and South VW are almost all imported from Germany.” With the appreciation of the euro in 2003, the loss of the exchange rate of the public was as high as several hundred million euros.

With painstaking experience, Volkswagen decided last year to launch a “crazy localization” program within FAW-Volkswagen, a major domestic partner. According to the plan, enterprises will increase the localization rate of existing individual vehicles from 60% to 80% or even higher in the next two to three years. "To be localized, all localization." One FAW - Volkswagen Mining Department said.

Not only is the general public, BMW, as a fellow countryman, has also accelerated the process of localization of parts and components. According to the data released by BMW Brilliance in June this year, this year BMW has 46 first-tier suppliers in China with a purchase amount of 870 million yuan, and this number will rise to 83 next year, and the purchase amount will reach 2.4 billion yuan. However, a person familiar with Brilliance BMW interviewed by the reporter recently said that its purchase amount of 2.4 billion yuan has been raised to nearly 3 billion yuan. "In October, we will disclose further localization information to the outside world."

Unlike supporting companies that are relatively independent of German car companies such as BMW and Volkswagen, most of the supporting manufacturers of Japanese and Korean companies come from China and are integrated with the host plants. This seems to be a favorable factor for the pace of localization of Japanese and Korean car companies. According to Dong Jianping, Deputy Minister of Purchasing of Beijing Hyundai Co., 44 parts of Beijing Hyundai’s parts and components start-ups from the beginning of production in 2003 have increased to 79 this year, and the localization rate of Elantra, the owner’s model, has also risen from 77%. 86%.

Unexpected

If we say that satisfying the company's profit-oriented nature and strengthening its own market competitiveness is an internal cause of the “crazy localization” of the various OEMs, then the “zero for vehicles” promulgated by the government aimed at improving the overall competitiveness of China’s automobile industry. "Parts management methods" have also played an indirect role in promoting to a certain extent.

A related person who did not wish to be named complained: “There must be a process for localization. Even if there is demand from the manufacturer, it will not happen overnight.” It is understood that according to the “approach” requirements, the localization of the core components of the model has not reached 60%. In the above, tariffs and import value-added tax will be imposed on the vehicle tax rate. “A series of preparations must be done before a new model is put into operation, including process validation, quality verification, etc. It is obviously difficult to meet the policy requirements and quality requirements at the same time as the frequency of the introduction of new domestic vehicles.”

In fact, from the perspective of industrial development, there is no problem in the original intention of the “whole vehicle policy”. The key is that there will always be deviations in the implementation of the company. Some people in the industry believe that it is the uneven supply of parts and components and the unregulated sales market in China that give some local companies that take the low-quality and high-speed routes opportunities.

A new car that was exposed by the media some time ago has experienced a series of quality problems due to the unqualified accessories. After investigation, it was found that after the mass production, a part that should have been originally imported was replaced by a domestic one. More importantly, informed sources have revealed that this component supplier is not the core supporting factory of the main engine plant, but is only a small factory of the second or third level and does not have an independent quality inspection and control system.

In fact, not only is the joint venture undergoing a process of “crazy” support, even some domestic independent car manufacturers have also staged a “crazy” matching scene in order to capture the market.

“I have faxed them and they are responsible for the problems.” The head of a domestic parts and components manufacturer angrily said that a domestic main engine plant that provided them with gearboxes had completed gearbox and engine matching tests. Some problems were found. For this reason, they suggested recalibrating the gearbox before conducting road tests. However, because the other party had to catch up with the launch of a new car at the Beijing Auto Show at the end of this year, companies started their road test regardless of their opinions. “We must know that this is dangerous and that it will be fatal.”

Crazy behind

"Actually, this type of problem is not accidental." According to sources in the industry, when OEMs purchase parts, they generally send special technicians to the supporting plants to carry out quality inspections and control work on the spot. Sampling will also be performed at the factory. However, the actual situation is that in order to shorten the matching cycle and save costs, these steps are sometimes greatly simplified. "(Supporting plants) should be one of the mature ones to be launched. For vehicle manufacturers, whether it is localization or the support of new vehicles, it can't be rushed." The above-mentioned sources said.

While interrogating enterprises, institutional loopholes are also worth investigating.

It is understood that China is implementing a compulsory product quality certification system, and the new vehicle must go to the government-designated institutions to do 47 tests, including collisions. However, once the test is passed once, the product will be allowed to sell. “There is a problem that the consistency of production and sales of products is difficult to guarantee. In fact, passing a new vehicle inspection does not mean that the products entering the market are also qualified,” said a professional.

Behind the crazy support, there are numerous flawed quality inspection systems and flawed after-sales service systems (so far, there is no auto "Three Guarantees" in China). How does this allow consumers to rest assured?

Heat Exchanger

A heat exchanger is a device used to transfer heat, usually to transfer heat from one fluid to another without them mixing. A heat exchanger usually consists of a number of parallel pipes in which one fluid flows through the pipe and another fluid flows through the outside of the pipe. In this way, heat can be transferred from one fluid to another for heating or cooling purposes. Heat exchangers are widely used in many industries, such as chemical, pharmaceutical, food processing, air conditioning and heating systems, etc.

Heat exchanger usually consists of the following components:
1. Heat exchange pipe: Pipe used to transfer heat, usually made of metal materials, such as copper, stainless steel, etc.
2. Heat exchange surface: A surface used to transfer heat, usually consisting of metal sheets or pipes. The greater the surface area, the higher the heat transfer efficiency.
3. Housing: Housing, usually made of metal or plastic, used to secure heat exchange pipes and surfaces.
4. Seals: Seals used to prevent media leakage, usually made of rubber or silicone rubber.
5. Support: A support used to support a heat exchanger, usually made of steel or cast iron.
6. Import and export pipes: pipes used for medium entry and exit, usually made of metal or plastic.
7. Cleaning hole: A hole used to clean the inside of the heat exchanger, usually located on the upper or side of the heat exchanger.
8. Insulation layer: Insulation layer used to keep the temperature of the heat exchanger stable, usually made of glass wool or polyurethane foam.
