Industry insiders: will issue access standards for internal combustion engine manufacturers


On the 17th, the General Office of the State Council issued the "Opinions on Strengthening the Energy-saving and Emission Reduction of the Internal Combustion Engine Industry" (hereinafter referred to as "opinions"). According to the "Opinions", by 2015, the national energy-saving internal combustion engine products will account for 60% of the total inventory. According to an industry insider who participated in the formulation of the “Opinions”, the supporting policy will be launched later and will introduce the entry standards for internal combustion engine manufacturers.

The reporter noted that people in the industry generally believe that the current conventional internal combustion engine power accounts for nearly 70% of the motor vehicle assembly share. The future of high-efficiency, environmentally-friendly internal combustion engines will usher in the spring of development. On the other hand, due to the monopoly of turbocharger and other core technologies by giants such as Honeywell, Bosch, and BorgWarner, China's own brand enterprises and local parts and components companies will face greater technical challenges.

In 2015, energy-saving internal combustion engines accounted for 60%

In January 2013, haze weather continued to appear in many cities in China, and the air pollution situation became increasingly severe. Under this background, the “Opinions” that were planned for three years was formally introduced.

According to the requirements of the Opinions, by 2015, energy-saving internal combustion engine products will account for 60% of the entire society's internal combustion engine products. Compared with 2010, the fuel consumption rate of internal combustion engines will be reduced by 6% to 10%, and 20 million tons of fuel oil will be saved. Reduce CO2 emissions by 62 million tons and reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by 10%. At the same time, the “Opinions” pointed out that in terms of gasoline engines for passenger cars, key applications for booster direct injection technology, key technologies such as combustion and electronic control, and development of key components such as direct-injection fuel systems and superchargers; For diesel engines, the focus is to promote the use of advanced fuel injection systems such as high pressure common rails and electronically controlled monomer pumps to accelerate the application of booster technology.

According to industry sources involved in the formulation of the “Opinions”, the reporter disclosed that “In order to promote the achievement of energy-saving and emission-reduction targets for internal combustion engines, supporting policies will be introduced soon, mainly including the interpretation of the “Opinions,” and the entry standards for internal combustion engine manufacturers. The value and promotion schedule, as well as the subsidy standards for commercial vehicles, etc., "This policy has indicated the direction and technical route for the energy-saving and emission reduction of China's internal combustion engines. The technical requirements for various engine modules are also in place."

In response, Lu Hongguang, senior sales manager of BorgWarner's emissions system, said: "Roughly estimate that the introduction of this policy will boost the company's performance by 10% to 20%."

BorgWarner is a multinational parts company that is committed to designing and manufacturing high-tech products to improve the performance of automotive engine systems. It is also one of the world leaders in turbocharger technology.

An internal person in charge of Great Wall Motor Co., Ltd. said: "The introduction of this policy has important benefits for promoting the development of diesel vehicles." It is understood that many passenger diesel vehicle manufacturers in China are using high pressure common rail fuel injection technology. However, due to lack of policy encouragement and poor market conditions, sales of such models are currently not high. Take the Great Wall as an example. In 2012, the Haval Diesel Engine Group sold a total of 42,282 vehicles, which accounted for 19% of the sales of the Haver brand. “Although this ratio is not high, it is already at the leading position in the industry in China,” said Great Wall Motor’s above-mentioned person in charge. Indicated.

According to the requirements of the Opinions, by 2015, all newly-produced automotive diesel engines will use high-pressure fuel injection systems, and the fuel consumption rate will be reduced by 5% to 8% compared with 2010. "From the current market situation and current development of diesel vehicles in China, this goal is difficult to achieve," said one person from the sales department of the parts company.

Executives: Foreign investment in the turbocharged market

The reporter noted that people in the industry generally believe that the overall review of the "Opinions" is of great significance to reducing the emission levels of China's internal combustion engine industry and the automobile industry. However, this will also pose a huge challenge to the local automotive industry, not only for the entire vehicle industry, but also for the parts and components industry.

Taking turbocharger technology as an example, many multinational corporations such as Volkswagen have promoted turbocharging technology for many years and are very familiar with the use of this technology. At present, its turbocharged engine has covered a displacement range of 1.4L to 2.0L. In addition, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, BMW, GM and many other multinational companies have accelerated the promotion and use of turbocharged engines. However, on the other hand, the use of turbocharged engines has only just begun, and the number of models launched is still relatively small. At the same time, there is also a lot of pressure on the upgrade of emission technologies.

Take Great Wall Motors as an example. At present, its 1.5T turbocharged engine is only compatible with the Tengyi C50 and Haval 2012 H6 models. At the same time, its 2.0L diesel turbocharged engine is fitted to the 2011 Haval H6 model. BYD is currently also Only G61.5T is a turbocharged model.

At the same time, another person of the self-owned brand company confided to reporters: “Even if we develop a turbocharged engine, we will be more cautious in using it. After all, this technology needs further development.”

In terms of parts and components, turbocharged engines are still used as an example. According to industry insiders, domestic auto parts manufacturers have not entered the R&D and manufacturing of such engine core components so far, and this market in China has been dominated by foreign parts giants. Controlled, Honeywell, Bosch, BorgWarner and other multinational giants block the relevant technologies in this market.

Lu Hongguang said: "As far as China's petrol turbocharged engines are concerned, foreign parts giants have controlled more than 90% of the engine's core components market."

At present, China has emerged Hunan Tianyan, Ningbo Tianli, Shouguang Kangyue and other parts suppliers specializing in R&D and manufacturing of turbocharged launches. "These domestic spare parts companies are lagging behind foreign parts manufacturers in terms of R&D, technical level, and product quality. Therefore, supporting products are also limited to low-end models." Professionals have commented on this.

Industry insiders believe that as the overseas parts giants continue to accelerate the process of localization, and the prices will further decrease, local turbocharged engine suppliers will face even greater crisis. At the same time, in the advanced technology fields such as high pressure common rail, local parts manufacturing Businessmen are all passive. Can the domestic industrial chain escape the “surrounding” of foreign investment? The industry believes that this requires multi-dimensional policy support, but also requires local companies to increase R & D investment, and gradually narrow the technology gap with the transnational giants.
