The launch of Jianghuai Navistar joint venture engine products is faster than people expected. Many joint-venture companies are only listed products after a year or two, and Jianghuai Navistar launched a localized engine four months after its listing.

On November 16th, 2012, Jianghuai Navistar Diesel Engine Co., Ltd. held an engine road show in Hefei. The 3.2L and 4.8L Navistar Maasfu engines exhibited by the company were real estate in China. Engine. Why can the real estate of these two diesel engines introduced from the Navistar Brazil factory be so fast? What does it mean to accelerate its mass production?

Listed localization rate exceeded 80% in April

How high is the localization rate of the Jianghuai Navistar joint venture engine? The background data of the road show's live display shows that the Maisford 3.2L and 4.8L engines have been realised since July 2011. To date, more than 90% of local parts samples have arrived, with 80% local zero The engine prototype of the component has been assembled and successfully loaded. “According to the parts, the proportion of the local components has reached over 92% in both engines; according to the value, the value of the local components in the engine will exceed 88% in December this year. %.” Said the person in charge of the Jianghuai Navistar Real Estate Team.

At the exhibition site, Jianghuai Navistar separated all kinds of parts and components in the exhibition area. Apart from a few components such as the cylinder block that still needs to be imported from Brazil, most other parts such as crankshafts, connecting rods, and pistons have been realized. Real estate. Moreover, these parts and components are basically used by local or foreign investors in China to invest in high-quality suppliers, such as ASIMCO Meilian, Yizheng Pistons, Shandong Tianrun crankshaft, Jilin Dahua Flywheel and so on. An Ruibo, deputy general manager of Jianghuai Navistar International, told reporters that the cylinder will soon be real estate in China, further reducing costs and selling prices.

“For Jianghuai, we are also a new supplier. We must first prove to Jianghuai Company that we are competitive in terms of cost and performance.” said Joe Worth, general manager of Jianghuai Navistar International, “established. One of the goals of the joint venture engine company is to reduce the number of outsourced engines in JAC and increase the share of the joint venture engine, but the premise is that users are willing to choose the Maasfu engine among numerous engine brands. To achieve this goal, we must To deliver high quality, high performance, competitively priced engines."

While accelerating the real estate of the engine, the work of the JAC vehicle carrying a joint venture engine is also accelerating. According to reports, the two handsome Bell IIIs using the 3.2L and 4.8L domestic Maasfu engines are undergoing various tests such as “three-high” calibration and reliability road tests. It is expected that all preparations before the listing will be completed before July 1, 2013. Work, laying a good foundation for the small batch production of vehicles and engines in July.

Not wait for me

“It is not time for me” is one of the strongest feelings of reporters in this roadshow. Jiang Jinhuai’s chairman, An Jingang, stepped off the plane and rushed to the road show to help the team. He concluded that the cooperation between the two parties can have such rapid progress. There are many reasons for this, including the joint efforts of the management team and technical team of the joint venture company, the strong support of Navistar China, and JAC's localization of the engine on the vehicle. The cooperation and contributions made.

But the most important driving force is that “JAC and Navistar have confidence in successful cooperation. We trust each other and understand each other. As we all know, we signed a joint venture agreement two years ago, but The engine joint venture company was approved in June of 2012, and the listing was in August 2012. Actually, the time we really 'married' is very short. Why is there such rapid progress? It is because everyone trusts each other.

In fact, before the joint venture was approved, the Chinese and foreign parties have already begun a lot of substantial input. Navistar is willing to come up with technical information on the engine, and JAC is willing to invest considerable energy in real estate projects. “An Jin said this way:” If there is no mutual belief in the success of the cooperation, if you wait until the joint venture company is approved before you talk about the introduction of the engine, talk about digestion and absorption, and then go to the supplier, then when will it be delayed? There is simply no way to make progress now. ”

In fact, from 2011 until now, the global market for commercial vehicles has changed dramatically, which has given Jianghuai Navistar even greater pressure and motivation. From January to October of 2012, the commercial vehicle market in China continued its declining trend in 2011. Sales volume in the entire industry fell by 8%, while Jianghuai proposed to continue its upward trend.

“The JAC vehicle has a very strong demand for the rapid increase of the engine. This year we have to ensure that the sales of commercial vehicles of 280,000 vehicles (270,000 in 2011) will reach more than 300,000 next year. We have such a demand. How does the engine joint venture company support and meet? The solution is only two words, efficiency! I ask our joint venture to further improve work efficiency."

Speed-up drama in 2013

Obviously, continuing to accelerate will be the top priority of the JAC Navistar Diesel Engine Company in 2013. These include the acceleration of localization of the engine, the acceleration of the work carried out by the vehicle, the acceleration of the cost reduction work, and even the acceleration of the introduction of the medium- and heavy-duty engine from Maasfu in the next phase.

“The next year will be a very busy and challenging year for the joint venture company. We will first recruit 200 employees on the production line, and we will have to recruit hundreds more staff to meet the needs of production operations and real estate needs. On July 1, 2013, the joint venture company will set up a temporary production line in the current workshop (because the new plant has not yet been built, this temporary line will be built in the factory of JAC Engine Co., Ltd.). The two series of engines were put into operation; in January 2014, new engine factories, R&D centers and new office buildings were to be put into use. Therefore, these tasks will be ready before the end of next year,” Joeworth told reporters.

On the other hand, the board of directors of the joint venture company just approved the business plan for the introduction of 7.2L medium-sized diesel engines. Lu Wei, general manager of China Business Development/Planning/Dissemination of Navistar, told reporters that in the first phase of the joint venture company, there will be four models. The main engines are light engines, including 3.2L, 4.8L, 7.2L and JAC's existing 4DA12.8L engines. In the second phase, the joint venture will introduce and realign the heavy-duty engines of Navistar, including 9.3L and 11L. And 13L diesel engines, and put them on JAC's medium-heavy trucks to achieve the best match.

At the same time, the joint venture company also launched the Euro 5 pre-research work on 3.2L and 4.8L domestic engines. “The products of the joint venture company will not only be sold in China, but we will also use Navistar’s network channels to vigorously expand the markets in Europe, Asia, Korea, Russia, Australia, etc. What we are doing is just beginning, and there is still a lot of cooperation going forward. Space," said Joeworth.

According to the 12th five-year plan established by Jianghuai Automobile, the company will achieve annual sales of 570,000 commercial vehicles of various types by 2015 and 450,000 by light trucks. It will enter the global top 3; 60,000 heavy trucks will be required. . This ambitious goal is inseparable from the support of high-performance engines. It is inseparable from the support of an excellent power transmission chain, and it is inseparable from the support of cost-competitive advanced engines.

In this regard, in 2013, it may be a crucial year for the success of the Jianghuai Navistar joint venture. From the "efficiency" of the engine company, both parties have already done enough to deal with the difficulties and challenges.
