With the development of China's auto market, domestic auto manufacturers have begun to accelerate the development of their own automatic transmissions. In recent years, major auto companies and several new transmission companies have their own automatic transmission projects, with more than 20 different automatic transmission models. Some have already been put into production in small quantities, some have prototypes, and some are under development. A variety of different gearboxes are required to test the service life. It is foreseeable that the demand for transmission test market in China will be huge in the future.

In an interview with reporters, General Manager Fu Xiuqi of Jifu Power Technology (China) Co., Ltd. said that in order to test whether a gearbox can be competent, the average test time required is 24,000 hours. There are so many different types of gearboxes in the Chinese market. It is expected that the types of gearboxes and different combinations will further double in the next four years. Transmission suppliers or vehicle manufacturers will announce the working life of different gearboxes. The demand for test services in the transmission market is strong.
“We believe that China's market demand will further exceed the testing capabilities of existing test benches. Therefore, we decided to further increase investment in China's R&D center.†Fu Xiuqi said that the next step will be to add 20 test benches, and finally Achieve 31. What is currently underway is the tender for the new plant and technical building, which is scheduled to begin construction in August.
The growing demand for electric and hybrid vehicles is now very fast, and electric vehicle transmission testing has also become an important sector. It is understood that the test of electric vehicle gearbox has different development directions. On the one hand, there are gearboxes with two gears, and there is also a type that expands the cruising range. The so-called extended range transmission is to increase the cruising range by generating an engine, and its gearbox is used in combination with another expensive transmission. Currently, in addition to planetary gear solutions, the industry has a dual clutch solution.
Fu Xiuqi said that the equipment capabilities of the company's current planning are also tilting in this respect, especially in the hybrid. There are many ways and various requirements for mixing, and its requirements for fuel consumption and emissions are very strict, which means that it is difficult and bottleneck to implement this process based on traditional technology. “The most effective way must be found, and the hybrid will naturally be pushed to the front of the market.â€
"The process of economical production of electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles is still very long, but in the next 10 years, the role of solving the problem of vehicle emissions and fuel consumption is very obvious. The research and development direction of Jifu Power will follow the market demand. "Fu Xiuqi said.
