When the reporter recently learned from the survey, the overall technology R&D strength of large enterprises in China has generally been greatly improved after decades of development. However, due to the long-term weakness of basic research in some industries, there has been no substantial breakthrough in core technologies, which has led to industrial transformation. Constrained by multinational companies in Europe and the United States, they often end up making their own innovation capabilities further difficult. The relevant experts have called for this and are emerging R&D fields that are on the same starting line as foreign countries. If the company’s technology route is still taking the old road, it is bound to change the passive situation.
Basic research to accumulate less equipment raw materials costly
In recent years, major auto makers in China have relied on technology integration to launch their own brands, and have strived to launch their own independently developed engines and transmissions within a few years. However, due to the long-term dependence on imports of key equipment, large investment and high costs.
Zhang Yijun, chief engineer of Dongfeng Motor's technical center, said that for some time, most local governments have been striving to get on the entire vehicle production project. They neglected to develop the parts and components industry and did not extend the industrial chain. This essentially abandoned the basis of processing technology. . He took an example to analyze that an important component of the car, the high-speed solenoid valve, has been studied, but it does not have enough processing capacity and a high level of electronic control equipment. However, the production of parts such as friction materials and automatic parts has no way to achieve the same level, because the formula has not been obtained and it needs to be imported from Europe.
Liugong is a world-renowned construction machinery manufacturing company, but it lacks data on the ratio of various steel raw materials for domestic steel companies, resulting in the need to spend a lot of energy and high expenses in the verification of steel strength, wear resistance, etc. Companies that manufacture steel also rarely research and develop in this area. Huang Jianbing, executive vice president of Liugong Research Institute of Technology, said: "If domestic steel manufacturers can use more energy in basic research such as materials science and engineering technology, whether they are steel in our country or as an application company, they can have more. Strong competitiveness."
Shen Jie, deputy chairman of the China Internal Combustion Engine Institute, said: “For foreign companies to introduce one yuan of equipment or raw materials, it takes 7 yuan to digest, but the cost of introducing and digesting domestic companies is only 1% of that of foreign companies. It can be seen that our emphasis on basic research is far from enough. If we take a long time, we will suffer a big loss."
"Beach built high building" restricts industrial transformation
Weak foundation research is undoubtedly the “building of high-rise buildings on the beachâ€, which directly results in the restriction of industrial transformation, which in turn leads to the nose of R&D being easily led by foreign companies and hindering the development process of enterprises.
Hu Shuhua, a well-known automotive research expert and professor at Wuhan University of Technology, said that even if it is a joint venture company with the strongest strength in the automobile industry in China, the industrial chain is incomplete, only manufacturing and sales, and there is no product data development and product data development. Most of these core contents of engineering data development are operated overseas. Although domestic auto parts have begun to be exported in large quantities, it is still a manufacturing industry and the core technology is still others. The biggest winner is the foreign party in the joint venture. According to the statistics from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, German Volkswagen’s joint venture production in China only accounts for 14% of the world’s total, but 80% of its profits come from China; General Motors earns US$145 per vehicle in the United States and US$2,400 in China. The Accor brand cars produced by Honda in Guangzhou cost more than 60% of the domestic price in Japan.
Research and development in the domestic new energy sector also eat a lot of "dark losses." Shi Yuanchun, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering “Two Houses,†said that the global solar industry currently has two main technical directions. One is silicon crystal material and the other is thin film battery. The core technologies are monopolized by several large foreign companies. Since the source of both technologies requires secondary processing of fossil fuels, the United Nations has clearly not supported this. Many foreign companies sell the core technology of polysilicon processing to Chinese enterprises, and then purchase finished materials from these enterprises, leaving pollution in our country in disguised form, increasing our country's ecological burden.
Some experts have therefore stressed that there are many similar proposals for "curve passing". However, if we want to increase the gold content of independent technological innovation, we must solidify the foundation and make up for the "short board" to upgrade the industry. Dong Chen, Chief Chief Engineer of Dongfeng Automobile Technology Center, said: "Over the years, China's auto industry has taken a road of heavy truck production and light parts production and R&D. This has caught the 'trap' of foreign companies stifling Chinese machine tool companies. In the past 10 years or so, foreign low-cost dumping machine tools have smashed the domestic "major mother machine" machine tool factory with strong R&D capabilities, which directly contained the bottleneck of Chinese automakers' ability to independently innovate. Financing and the industry chain will intensify their efforts to defeat the Chinese auto industry with the control of the parts and components industry at any time."
Improving Independent Innovation Urgently Needs to Divide to Zero
Chen Jianxian, deputy dean of the Dongfeng Automobile Engineering Research Institute, said that after the war in Japan, there was a car revitalization bill, first of all being the parts and components industry. With this foundation, after supporting American companies, the Japanese auto companies' vehicle production has been built more smoothly. When Dongfeng produces its own trucks, almost all its parts and components are produced by itself and the laboratories are on their side, but now they are purchased except for the assembly and body factories. In addition, the United States, General Motors, Ford, the two major auto giants started doing parts.
Xu Yonghong, head of the Dongfeng Motor Company Technical Center responsible for the electric vehicle project, said that China's R&D of electric vehicles has found that certain parts and components can only be found in the country for support. This is certainly unfavorable for the entire industry. The quality and price of the product Will be affected. For example, the motor products of Beijing Zhongpin Ruili Co., Ltd. accounted for about 80% of the domestic motor industry's market share.
Zhou Sunhai, assistant director of the Yuchai Engineering Research Institute, believes that internal combustion engine EFI technology and high-pressure common rail technology are two major problems in curbing China's automobile industry, involving many fields such as materials science, process design, dynamics, etc., relying solely on universities and research institutes. The theoretical research and development cannot solve the imminent industrial upgrading problem. It should take the lead as soon as possible by leading companies and the relevant departments to integrate resources and capital injections to accelerate research on such technologies.
