What is the innovation of auto parts in the new era?

The annual two sessions of the National People's Congress have been opened. The two sessions of 2011 are the key nodes to summarize the outlook for 12th Five-Year in 11th Five-Year. Therefore, during the two sessions of 2011, the topic of how to increase the automobile industry and how to increase it from qualitative change to qualitative change is not less.

The main theme of the planning of the auto industry in 12th Five-Year is to be strong. The core of the plan is to have the core technology, the core competitiveness and the independent innovation. In a certain period, the independent innovation of the whole vehicle has been progressed, and the new products can be developed by foreign platforms, but the development of the platform is still a weak item. The independent innovation of auto parts has been neglected, and the independent brand parts industry has already been marginalized, because there are not many representatives of auto parts manufacturers in the two sessions.

According to the Ministry of Commerce, the vast majority of foreign control of the auto parts market share, domestic parts sales revenue accounted for only 20%-25% of the entire industry, have foreign background auto parts manufacturers accounted for more than 75% in the entire industry, these foreign suppliers, owned enterprises accounted for 55%, joint ventures accounted for 45%, mainly used for local parts in the independent brand car market share is low.

In the field of automotive electronics and engine parts and other high-tech content, foreign market share is as high as 90%, among them, fuel injection systems, engine management systems, ABS and airbags, automatic transmission and other core components of automobile production, the proportion of foreign-funded enterprises were 100%, 100%, 69% and 91%.

Compared with the whole vehicle, the investment cycle of components is longer, the capital threshold is higher, and the business risk is bigger. So far, the core technology shortage of China's auto parts is still evident. Most of the domestic auto parts enterprises are concentrated in the low end areas with low technology content and low profit level, and price has become the only competitive means of Chinese enterprises. In this way, the parts industry has gradually become a barrier in China's auto industry, which seriously restricts the implementation of the strategy of China's auto power.

Auto parts industry should seize the opportunity to develop from the automotive consumer market, promote the restructuring of the automobile industry, support the enterprise independent innovation, technological innovation, vigorously develop new energy vehicles, cultivate independent brands, expand exports and the development of the modern automobile service industry to promote the automobile industry restructuring and revitalization.

For the development direction of China's auto parts, the 12th Five-Year plan put forward that automotive parts and components is one of the four development priorities. The key issue is to improve the capability of independent innovation and achieve breakthroughs in key assembly technology and electronic technology. New energy vehicles will drive the development of new energy components, such as battery and motor, etc. The formation of the auto industry group will bring the restructuring and adjustment pressure on the parts and components industry, and it is necessary to realize the scale. The export of low value-added products will face greater trade frictions, and the adjustment of industrial structure must be carried out.
