When the news of the establishment of a joint venture between Jianghuai and Cummins , the whole industry is speculating, how can a company with a history of ups and downs, different personnel composition and multiple product platforms coexist, how to deal with its complex relationship? Survive and develop in a competitive environment?

In the face of the ambitious five-year plan, faced with the revenue targets set by the board of directors this year and the two major burdens that Guoliu successfully launched into the market, Bai Yi, the general manager of Anhui Cummins Power Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Ankang), was in the performance of his duties. After a month, the signal was sent to the outside world: synergy.

Shareholders and partners work together to achieve each other

The establishment of Ankang will also be reversed for 20 years.

Jianghuai and Cummins began cooperation in the late 1990s. Dongfeng Cummins supported Jianghuai's business in sales, including passenger cars, trucks, and overseas. Later, Fukang's products were also successfully equipped with Jianghuai.

The history of cooperation for more than 20 years laid the foundation for the establishment of Ankang. Jianghuai needs more advanced power to realize the aspirations of the world's leading light commercial vehicle companies. It needs to achieve high quality, high performance and stricter emission standards. It needs to focus on the development of the whole vehicle. The world's leading Cummins is undoubtedly a boost; Cummins needs to expand In the market segment and sales volume of light commercial vehicles, the industry's second-ranked Jianghuai provides a lot of space.

This background brings about the frankness and mutual willingness of the shareholders of both parties, and the synergy between shareholders is the basis for subsequent work. "This is a win-win cooperation. Jianghuai has brought more strong development expectations for Cummins, and Cummins has brought many advantageous resources to Jianghuai." Bai Yuan said.

So the question is, how does Ankang work with other Cummins joint ventures? "For the industry's widespread doubts - the products of different joint ventures in Cummins will compete in the future. I want to emphasize the scale effect, 4.5 liters produced by different companies. How to achieve synergy between products and 4.0-liter products, achieve synergy in after-sales, spare parts, supply chain, etc., and use the scale advantage to benefit everyone, is the work we are doing.” Baiyuan, for example, Dongfeng light truck annual sales 10 10,000 vehicles, Jianghuai light trucks annual sales of 200,000 vehicles, the cost of the two large-scale development engines are very high, and joint development can share development and manufacturing costs, this scale effect is not only beneficial to the engine factory, but also beneficial to the OEM, and even more End users profit.

Vehicle and power synergy

The most basic requirement for measuring the comprehensive capabilities of a product at the moment is the level of emissions. For the key areas, the Pearl River Delta region, and the Chengdu-Chongqing region, the National Sixth Emission Standard will be implemented in advance from July 1, 2019, and the truck implementation country will be implemented on January 1, 2020. Ankang will be prepared in a planned and planned manner.

"Ankang has four National Six engines, with a focus on providing power support to Jianghuai." Bai Yuan said that in the development of Guoliu products, Ankang also adopted a synergistic approach, in collaboration with Cummins and Jianghuai in intelligent manufacturing, product management, and technology. Advantages in areas such as development are used by joint ventures.

In the manufacturing field, the Cummins operating system was introduced to continuously improve the manufacturing process and to implant the quality system into every step of the process.

In terms of technology, relying on Cummins Six technical resources to achieve power boost, low-speed torque boost, climbing power, reliability improvement, fuel economy improvement, driving comfort, multi-condition adaptability and other technical advantages

In terms of product application, the forward-looking chain of Jianghuai's vehicle development plan ensures that the product platform is fully designed to match the optimization of the OEM. In the initial stage, we include customer requirements to ensure that our products meet the high performance requirements of our customers.

As an intermediate product, the engine enterprise does not directly face the user. Therefore, Ankang will build a transmission system including the engine through the joint venture of Jianghuai and other vehicle companies. At present, two of the four National Six engines of Ankang are equipped with the Jianghuai road test. According to the Cummins process, each engine must be equipped with more than 10 vehicles, each vehicle running 1 million kilometers, and within 1 million kilometers. All problems that arise will be resolved before they can be placed on the market. “Some models have already ran 400,000 kilometers.” Bai Yuan said, “We hope that the new car will impress users as soon as it goes on the market.”

This kind of synergy has already achieved results. The Jianghuai truck equipped with the Ankang Guoliu engine has achieved smoother shifting and higher torque at lower speeds. With a 4.0-liter product, the torque reaches 520 Nm at 1000 rpm. The direct effect of low-speed and high-torque is that the load is full when loading and climbing.

According to the plan, on July 1, 2019, Ankang's Guoliu products will be listed one after another. "Please note that the time-to-market we are talking about is not the time to market for the engine but the time to market the vehicle. From July 1st, the vehicle with the Ankang Power will be launched." Bai Yuan stressed that the handsome bell and the bell are the first to use. It is a 4.0-liter product and may have a 3.0-liter product; Geerfa is equipped with a 4.5-liter product.

Old people, newcomers and morale are rising

Of all the complex relationships, people are undoubtedly the most complicated. Ankang is not a brand new company. It is a joint venture between Cummins and the Jianghuai Group's 50:50 equity relationship. Most of the employees have moved from the predecessor of Ankang. For example, the quality director has grown up internally. At the same time, there are new members from the outside, such as the production manager from Xikang, the purchasing manager who worked at Cummins headquarters, and Bai Yuan, the general manager who worked in Dongkang.

People are excellent people, and their ability is no problem. The question is how to cooperate and how to make it happen. The mobilization of morale is the top priority after Bai Yuan took office.

“The key is to let people see hope. At the company's strategic level, the support of the parent companies, the importance of the partnership, and the development prospects brought by the implementation of the National Sixth, the team's confidence is multiplied and the goal is clear. At the personal development level, Both parent companies have an open attitude, as long as they are excellent and familiar with the company, and not only those who are sent from the parent company can become leaders.” Bai Yuan told reporters that providing development space is Cummins’ maturity. As it turns out, Cummins China has a lot of leaders coming out of the joint venture company. "This model will also be introduced into Ankang."

In the future, Ankang will establish a career development channel for employees. The goal of strong employee income and company performance is expected to be completed by the end of the second quarter, and the improvement of capabilities is close at hand. “The product department will select 7 engineers to work in the East Asia R&D Center this month and learn while doing the project.”

After more than three months, the stability and stability of the Ankang institution after the reorganization and restructuring, the staff stability, and the clear work objectives, 70% of the work in the process of importing Cummins is ready. It can be said that Ankang is on the right track.
