After years of effort, domestic brands have finally equipped their cars with our own transmissions, solving technical issues. The next step is to establish industrialization, and the development in this phase will face greater uncertainties. Foreign automotive automatic transmission companies are putting unprecedented pressure on the current domestic automatic transmission industry by lowering product prices or forming joint ventures with domestic vehicle manufacturers.
After years of effort, domestic brands have finally equipped their cars with our own transmissions, solving technical issues. The next step is to establish industrialization, and the development in this phase will have greater uncertainties. Foreign-funded automotive automatic transmission companies are putting unprecedented pressure on the current domestic automatic transmission industry by lowering product prices or forming joint ventures with domestic vehicle manufacturers.
The key to whether the industrialization of domestic automatic transmission brands can be realized lies in whether they can receive support from vehicle manufacturers. Currently, there are three types of vehicle manufacturers: joint ventures between Chinese and foreign companies, private enterprises, and state-owned enterprises.
The choice of suppliers for automatic transmissions and other components in joint venture vehicle manufacturers is in the hands of the foreign side. The foreign side tends to continue using their parent company's established key component suppliers, making it almost impossible to choose domestic automatic transmissions.
Thus, the hope for the industrialization of domestic automatic transmissions can only be placed on private vehicle manufacturers and state-owned vehicle manufacturers. Therefore, only domestic independent vehicle manufacturers can save domestic automatic transmissions.
Domestic independent vehicle manufacturers have already provided very mature supporting opportunities for domestic automatic transmission companies, with the cooperation between Dong'an Automotive Transmission (DAE) and Zotye Auto achieving great success. Among the various models of Zotye Auto equipped with DAE's 6AT, due to DAE's targeted calibration of its engines, the models equipped with DAE's 6AT outperform the average standards of domestic brands in terms of driving quality and fuel consumption. Moreover, there will absolutely be no issues with supply restrictions.
At the same time, the government is also an extremely important support force for the industrialization of domestic automatic transmissions. Under the condition of expanding openness, the domestic automotive industry should form an anti-monopoly and anti-dumping working group composed of legal and technical experts to establish a normal working mechanism, prevent foreign companies from dumping and monopolizing the market, and safeguard the safety of domestic automotive automatic transmissions and other industries.
For companies with limited technical capabilities, they should focus on key technologies as the main line, using capital as a link to integrate resources and restructure industries, further optimizing the industrial structure and promoting collaborative innovation to accelerate the overall competitiveness of the domestic automotive industry. A national team should be formed to conduct joint research and development of efficient powertrains for plug-in hybrid vehicles, pure electric vehicles, and fuel cell vehicles, seizing the technological high ground of future industries.
Research and formulate tax reductions, subsidies, and other policies that do not violate World Trade Organization rules to support the development of the domestic automotive automatic transmission industry chain, enhancing its market competitiveness. Increase the procurement volume of domestic automatic transmission vehicles in government vehicle procurement processes to provide market guarantees for the industrialization of domestic automatic transmissions. Under the premise of corporate independent decision-making, actively promote deep cooperation between domestic automatic transmission companies and domestic independent vehicle manufacturers, especially guiding independent vehicle manufacturers to invest in domestic automatic transmission companies.
There is a potential demand for over 8 million automatic transmissions annually between domestic independent vehicle manufacturers and domestic automatic transmission companies. If domestic independent vehicle manufacturers closely cooperate with domestic automatic transmission companies, there is potential for this market space to expand. The domestic automatic transmission industry has reached its most critical moment.
The company is based on "specialization and innovation" (specialization, boutique, characteristic, novel), focusing on the research and development, design, production and sales of automobile automatic transmission clutch hub and parts. The company has invested nearly 0.5 billion yuan and introduced nearly 100 sets (sets) of professional production and supporting equipment from the world. It has become one of the enterprises in the domestic gear hub industry with excellent equipment, complete configuration, strong R & D capability, numerous developed products and large production capacity, and has formed an annual production capacity of 4 million pieces (sets).
The company broke the situation that the core components of the automatic transmission gear hub have been monopolized by European and American multinational enterprises, boosted the localization process of automatic transmissions of domestic independent brand automobile enterprises, and led the new era of "intelligent manufacturing in China" of the core components of the automatic transmission gear hub.
