A. The potential of the special car market in China is huge and the prospects are bright
According to the author's current information, in the next three years, nearly ten trucks, agricultural vehicles, and engine and non-automobile manufacturers will enter heavy trucks, light trucks, and light buses. The future market competition will be even greater. Tragic! In recent years, traditional mainstream heavy trucks, light trucks, and light passenger companies have turned to open up a special vehicle market. The first is to bypass the main rival’s positive confrontation on trucks, tractors, passengers and other similar products; the second is to avoid The new entrants to the cottage are cutting edge; the third is to strive to seize the initiative in the special car and modified car market, the largest share. All of these can be seen from the trend of the rising production and sales volume of the second-class chassis of heavy trucks and light trucks in recent years.
It is expected that the scale of China's special-purpose vehicle market will reach approximately 2 million in 2010, and the scale of the special-purpose vehicle market in 2015 will reach the level of more than 2 million vehicles. The special-purpose vehicle industry has entered a golden period of rapid development and is expected to maintain its high demand in the next 5-10 years.
Special vehicles are also production materials and production tools. They are closely related to the development of the national economy and directly participate in all aspects of national economic construction. It also serves a wide range of areas in the national economy, such as road transport, engineering construction, oil fields, mining, electricity, telecommunications, postal services, finance, medical care, sanitation, agriculture, public security, firefighting, and national defense construction. At the same time, all walks of life need special vehicles that are suitable for the characteristics of the industry and meet the special functions of the industry. Therefore, whether it is road transport, or construction operations, etc., are inseparable from the participation of special vehicles.
During the “12th Five-Year Plan†period, the central government and local governments focused on the urbanization process, the construction of new rural areas, and infrastructure construction. In particular, in recent years, the country has continued to expand domestic demand in recent years, and the rapid and prosperous commodity transportation has prompted the rapid increase in demand for van-type special vehicles and accelerated the circulation of materials. Special products such as special-purpose vehicles for highways, special-purpose municipal vehicles, and special-purpose vehicles for life services, etc., are also accelerating the development of auto parts-specific auto parts and components, fostering independent innovation capabilities, possessing core technologies, and realizing the realization of the national economy. Synchronous development.
The economic construction also has a significant pulling effect on the development of special vehicles and provides a vast market space for special vehicles. In particular, before and after the global financial crisis, the country’s 4 trillion investment projects increased the investment in infrastructure construction, and the production and sales volume of special vehicles for construction and dump trucks gradually increased to achieve extraordinary development. In addition, the rapid and prosperous transportation of goods has led to a rapid increase in demand for van-type special vehicles. At the same time, with the rapid development of China's economic construction, the number of dangerous chemical products in production, storage, transit transport is increasing, the number of vehicles transporting dangerous chemicals everywhere is also multiplied, and demand for tank vehicles is also increasing.
In early July of this year, the country decided to increase its efforts in the development of the western region in the next 10 years, especially in terms of infrastructure construction. Among them, this year the Western Development Project has started 23 new key projects with a total investment of 682.2 billion yuan. The project covers railways, highways, airport construction, electricity, water conservancy, coal mines, etc. This is undoubtedly a subdivision of the special car industry. The development of the market provides a golden opportunity.
Since the beginning of this year, Brilliance Automotive is establishing a special car joint venture company with a Mercedes-Benz authorized car company in Austria. Both parties will commit themselves to the research and development of high-end special-purpose vehicle products. FAW Jiefang also released the latest self-developed urban main battle fire engine this year, successfully filling the relevant market gap. In recent years, all parts of the country have also set up an upsurge in the construction of special-purpose vehicle production bases and industrial parks. Among them, Shandong, Hubei, Anhui, Liaoning, and Jiangsu are the most typical. They all tried to win a share in special vehicles. A cup of soup. The demand for new vehicles and special vehicles for new industries across the country is very large. There is ample room for growth. Whether in the near or in the long run, the general trend of the development of the special car market has not changed, which also reflects the huge market for China’s special vehicles. The development potential.
In recent years, the export of commercial vehicles has also become a major highlight. According to the “Light Car Notes†created by Mr. Zhong Dong, in recent years SAIC Iveco, Jiangling Transit, Jinlong Jinan and Beiqi Foton have exported a large number of special vehicles to foreign countries. Another example is that on July 28 this year, Anhui Jianghuai Automobile Co., Ltd. will export 7000 medical special vehicles to Ukraine. China Exim Bank will provide loans for this project and the Ukrainian government will provide a national guarantee for the project.
B. Analysis of Current Situation of Special Vehicle Development in China
1. The technological level lags behind the imbalance of product structure and development is uneven. At present, from the technical point of view, the domestically-made special-purpose vehicles have made great progress despite the fact that after more than ten years of hard work and hard work, they have continuously learned from foreign technologies. Compared with famous foreign brands, there is still a large gap, still basically in the imitation stage (mainly referring to the topswear), development and design similarities are common, there are fewer varieties of special vehicles, and product homogeneity is very serious. The core technologies are missing, heavy, medium, and light. The proportions of high, medium, general, special, and new are seriously out of balance. Most companies can only produce medium-sized ordinary special-purpose vehicles. Other types of special-purpose vehicles still have relatively small output and simple functions. High-tech, high-value-added, high-reliability domestic-made special vehicles are still insufficient, and chassis companies and special-purpose vehicle companies are seriously out of touch. These have seriously affected the structural adjustment and industrial upgrading of China's special-purpose vehicle industry.
2. The key components can't be produced independently. Until now, the chassis of domestic special purpose vehicles is still very scarce. The special vehicles produced in China still mostly use the chassis of ordinary loading (passenger) vehicles such as Dongfeng, Liberation, Steyr, and Iveco, and they have been modified through minor adjustments such as adjustment of the wheelbase. The technical reserves; most of the special vehicles produced are still basically dedicated labor-intensive special vehicles with low technical content and low prices, such as low-tonnage dump trucks, semi-trailer tractors, tankers, and postal vehicles. Even if the current domestic production of the more advanced Steyr series car chassis, its technology has appeared to be very backward in the international, in a very passive position in the international competition.
C. Analysis of the development trend of foreign special car products
Today, the foreign special car market and products show the following development trend, which is also the road that our country’s special car needs to go tomorrow.
1. Heavy-duty trend of special-purpose vehicles Foreign-specific vehicles are mostly heavy-duty, and the economic benefits of heavy-duty special-purpose vehicles are good, and the heavy-duty vehicles have large power and high strength, and there are advantages that medium and small-sized special vehicles cannot replace.
2. Trends of a multi-purpose vehicle In order to improve the adaptability of special-purpose vehicles to meet various special needs, the special-purpose vehicle functions from a single-to-multipurpose and special-purpose chassis to professional development trends, and the models have more combinations and changes. With the changes in the transportation pattern of the public railways, the future development of general-purpose vans will be even greater.
3. Application trends of new materials, new technologies and microcomputers The application of new materials and new technologies of special purpose vehicle manufacturers in foreign countries, such as the use of GRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastics) instead of metal materials for the manufacture of refrigerated car bodies, with high strength and quality Light, long life, and other advantages, applications become more widely. Microcomputers have been widely used in engine control, automatic transmission, power transmission of special devices, electrical fault diagnosis, etc. The use value of special vehicles has been gradually expanded, and the technical performance has been significantly improved. In addition, the application of system integration technology, GPS positioning, television monitoring and semi-trailer vehicle design trends;
4. Lightweight development trend The structural design needs to be optimized and simplified. Aluminum alloys, high-strength steels and other materials will be widely used. Second, the organizational structure of the company will be modularized and the business process will be modularized.
5, the trend of standardized design applications Product structure standardization, with minimal internal changes combined into a variety of moderately diverse product or product diversification portfolio, reduce procurement costs, simplify production processes, improve product quality, reduce production costs.
6. In terms of function, structure and appearance, attention has been paid to personalization and user-friendly design. In recent years, foreign markets have increasingly high requirements for the technical content and added value of special-purpose vehicle products. Some high-tech technologies have begun to be widely used on special-purpose vehicles. Special purpose chassis that can meet special functional requirements were developed. Whether it is a hydraulic lifting device, a discharging and discharging device, a measuring and measuring device, a mechanical working device, or a refrigeration and heat preservation device, a safety protection device, an automatic control device, a job monitoring device; whether it is various types of cylinders, pumps, valves, meters, etc. Assemblies, or various body structures such as tanks and tanks, have been widely used on special-purpose vehicles, and to a certain extent have met the diversified needs of users for special-purpose vehicles under the new situation. In the function, structure and appearance of special vehicles, scientific and rational design is carried out, and personalization and humanized design are emphasized.
