Since entering the Chinese market in 1993, Faurecia emission control technology system (FECT) has already established 13 related factories in China. The product line covers the entire emission control system and can produce 1 million whole systems and 2 million disparities each year. Pipe, 4 million catalytic converters have 3 million mufflers. In addition, by 2018, FECT plans to set up five new factories in China.

In the passenger vehicle market in China, FECT holds a leading position with a 24% share. Its customers include foreign brands such as Volkswagen, General Motors, Ford, PSA Peugeot Citroen, Hyundai, BMW, and Audi, as well as FAW, Chery, GAC, and Geely. And other independent brands.

In 2011, FECT China R&D Center opened in Shanghai, and this measure is undoubtedly to localize technology. Ouyang Jie said: “The localization of Faurecia is based on three considerations: First, to reduce costs. Second, to speed up the response and increase the degree of responsiveness to customer requirements. Third, local conditions should be adapted to the specific needs of the local market. In addition, through localization we can develop and cultivate local talents. This is an indispensable condition for the long-term development of our business in the future."

Emissions system has huge potential for growth

From the global market, more than 90% of FECT's sales come from the passenger car market, and the commercial vehicle market only accounts for 7% of the total. The annual sales amount is about 200 million euros. In the coming years, the company expects that its commercial vehicle market will grow rapidly. Its sales will reach 450 million euros in 2016, and its proportion in overall sales will also increase to 11%. FECT has also achieved a balanced distribution across all regions of the world. Last year, product sales in Europe and the Americas accounted for 37% and 40%, respectively, and in Asia, the ratio was 23%. With the help of China's huge market demand, the company will reach 2016 The proportion of sales in Asia is expected to increase to 29%. In 2013, FECT's overall share of the passenger and commercial vehicle market in China was 26%, which is higher than its share in the global market. The company expects that it will achieve 30% market share in China by 2016.

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced on April 23 that the current state-of-the-art diesel emission standards for the three countries will be abolished on December 31 this year, and the national four standards will be officially implemented early next year. With the implementation of the Fourth National Standard, the demand for high-performance emission systems in the Chinese diesel commercial vehicle market will rise rapidly.

According to reports, from 2012 to 2020, the global production of commercial vehicle emissions systems is expected to increase from 7.2 million units to 9.2 million units, a compound annual growth rate of 3%. As national emissions standards will become more and more stringent, the overall value of the commercial vehicle emissions system will grow even faster. By 2020, it is expected to reach 5 billion euros, which will double compared to 2012, and the compound annual growth rate will be as high as 10%.

Carrying ASDS technology to enter the Chinese commercial vehicle market

Due to the huge growth potential of the diesel vehicle emission system , Faurecia took a strategic stake in Danish Amminex in 2011 and acquired a 21.2% stake in the latter. Compared with the traditional selective catalytic reduction system (SCR) on the market, Amminex's ammonia storage and delivery system (ASDS) has multiple advantages. It can precisely control the ammonia content of the catalyst in the exhaust system, and can effectively remove the diesel engine. The nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gas can be used in the fields of general passenger cars and commercial vehicles.

Ma Siqi explained that because buses in the city need to be frequently parked and started, it is very unfavorable for traditional SCR systems to play a role in reducing nitrogen oxide emissions, and the ASDS system from Amminex Corporation has solved this problem very well. However, currently there are quite a lot of buses on the market that use natural gas engines and there are no serious emissions pollution problems. In this regard, Ma Siqi explained: “However, ASDS technology has already achieved a lot on diesel buses, diesel buses. The technical difficulty of retrofitting into a natural gas engine is relatively high, but if Fagoria's ASDS system is used, only a certain part needs to be replaced, and the conversion scheme is much easier and easier than refitting the natural gas engine. Basically, it can be changed and used."

For customers in the Chinese market, the cost of the emission system has always been one of the most concerned factors. When asked whether the ASDS system has extended costs and lifespan compared with traditional technologies, Masi answered: “The cost of the product is Considering two aspects, the first is the fixed cost, and the second is the total cost of ownership (TCO).In terms of the cost of the previous installation, we are in fact no different from traditional technologies, and they are basically the same. In terms of total cost of ownership, customer feedback is tested. It is found that ASDS technology has great advantages, which can save fuel consumption and greatly reduce vehicle operating costs, so our products are very competitive.As for the service life, the exhaust system of ASDS is no different from the life of existing products, and we have unique characteristics. The ASDS barrel can only be refilled at the factory after the ammonia is used up, so the product life only needs to look at the service life of the barrel."

In addition, Ma Shi also introduced the technical advantages of ASDS technology compared to AdBlue vehicle urea. These advantages are reflected in four aspects: they can react in low temperature environments; they can reduce carbon dioxide emissions with more efficient and efficient conversion; It is more compact and takes up less space; gas does not cause crystallization to build up and clog, which reduces maintenance costs.

Finally, when talking about the uncertainty of the implementation of the National IV standard , Masi also responded by saying: "When necessary, we also have to bear commercial risks, that is, today's investment will not necessarily bring about returns. However, we are willing to bear this risk. Therefore, we have done a lot of investment to support the implementation of the country's four standards. At the same time, through ASDS technology, we can provide stronger support for the implementation of the National IV standard as soon as possible."

Digital Mining

Digital mining has been with us for over half a century, and the mining sector has embraced the introduction of new technologies, such as plant control systems, GPS technologies, mobile broadband and automated haulage. Notwithstanding the long journey that digital mining already has taken, the rate of recent development seems incongruous with the perceived opportunity.
We know that businesses want to improve productivity by embedding digital into the mine – and we can help you get there. Having a clear understanding of the key elements of past successes and failures is critical to developing a truly transformational digital approach to the productivity challenge.
