With Hualing , Beiben, Futian and Jianghuai, the four OEMs have extended their reach into the engine sector and started or are preparing to produce their own engines, the top nine heavy truck manufacturers in China have all dealt with the engine business, and heavy-duty truck companies are in the field of heavy-duty diesel engines. The new layout is beginning to take shape. In the future, the heavy truck market competition will be more competitive in the whole industry chain.

Use of local resources: Valin and Beiben hit domestic brands

Event One: On November 27, 2012, the two engines made by Valin Xingma made a high-profile appearance at the Shanghai BMW Exhibition, along with their own production engines, as well as the Hualing Transmission and Axle.

According to the introduction of Huayin Xingma Chairman Liu Hanru, the development of Valin high-power engine has been led by Hualing itself, and the intellectual property rights are owned by Hualing, and it has extensive cooperation with domestic and foreign design institutes and research institutes.

Judging from the parameters of the Valin engine, the two engines of the CM6D18 and CM6D28 are 9.84L and 11.81L, respectively. The former adopts an in-line six-cylinder four-valve and single overhead camshaft design with a rated power of 309 kW and a maximum torque of 1840 Nm. Weight 970Kg, bore diameter 118mm, external dimensions 1275 × 787 × 1072mm; the latter is also an in-line 6-cylinder 4-valve and single overhead camshaft design, rated power 353 kW, maximum torque 2250 Nm, weight 1065Kg, bore 128mm, The outline size is 1360×812×1138mm.

Event Two: According to reports from Baotou Daily, Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Co., Ltd. and China Ordnance Industry Group have signed an agreement to build engines. The two parties intend to cooperate in the construction of a production line with an annual output of 100,000 engines. The total investment of the project is nearly 1.6 billion yuan. It is said that the construction of this project is of great significance to the improvement of Beiben heavy-duty vehicles. According to reports, the engine joint venture project of Beiben Heavy Duty Truck and Yuchai is expected to start construction in April 2013.

The cooperation between Beiben and Yuchai Machinery was re-emphasized at the 2013 Beibei Business Conference. The Ordnance Industry Group wants to build a platform of 300 billion yuan, and the heavy truck is one of them. In addition, the Ordnance Industry Group also emphasizes that Beibei must form its own core industrial chain, and in addition to the entire vehicle, the production capacity of its core components will also increase. . For example, the engine has to be on the volume. During the 12th Five-Year Plan period, Beiben will have 60,000 engines and 60,000 gearboxes. With the promotion of the Ordnance Industry Group, it is only a matter of time before Beiben realizes a self-made engine.

Leveraging Foreign Capital: Futian and JAC based overseas

As a large-scale commercial vehicle group, Foton and JAC are not satisfied with the development of the domestic market, and they hope to put their foothold on overseas production engines. Therefore, unlike Valin and Beiben, in 2012, Futian and JAC adopted a strategy for the engine to establish a Sino-foreign joint venture.

Joint Venture Incident One: On February 18, 2012, Daimler AG and Beiqi Foton Motor Co., Ltd. held the "Beijing Futian Daimler Automotive Co., Ltd. Inaugural Conference" in Beijing to celebrate the successful conclusion of the joint venture negotiations between the two parties. The first board meeting of the joint venture company.

It is reported that Fukuda is responsible for the overseas market sales of the Foton Daimler JV product, and Fukuda can entrust the JV company to produce products for overseas markets. Fukuda can use Daimler global sales and after-sales service resources to carry out sales and service activities for medium and heavy trucks and Mercedes-Benz OM457 engines. In the first half of 2013, the foundation of the engine plant jointly invested by Futian and Daimler is about to start.

Joint Venture Event 2: JAC and Navistar's engine joint venture company held an inauguration ceremony in Beijing on August 23, 2012. The joint venture company’s products mainly provide JAC vehicles with engines that meet China’s Euro IV and Euro V standards, which will also be used. JAC's light, medium, and heavy trucks are ready to export overseas. In the future, customers will be supplied to customers other than JAC based on market demand.

In the joint venture between Jianghuai and Navistar, JAC can be said to have three arrows: First, it introduced advanced technology to solve the problem of upgrading the light trucks while also solving the problem of self-produced heavy-duty trucks; the second was 2013. In the implementation of the national IV emission standards in the domestic market, preparations were made; the third was to lay a foothold for entering overseas markets.

Mainstream heavy-duty truck OEM production power inventory

In fact, the top 9 companies in the heavy truck industry (counting Beibei, which will be joint venture with Yuchai) plus the combined trucks, all these heavy truck companies have their own engine resources.

Looking at the domestic plant's main engine plant's technical route, there are three main forms.

The first is independent research and development, which is constrained by the late start of the automotive industry. The heavy-duty engine independently developed by the domestic main engine plant is largely an improved product based on the Steyr platform system. The main representative is FAW Xichai heavy-duty engine, China National Heavy Duty Truck WD615, WD618 engine, etc.; Hualing's heavy-duty engine is mainly developed jointly with Austria AVL company.

The second technical route for the entire vehicle company to build engines is the joint venture and cooperation with multinational companies to introduce foreign technologies. This is also the most common self-produced engine mode in the medium- and heavy-duty truck industry. The main representative products are MC08/MC11/MC13 products of Sinopec and Man, Redol's Corso engine, Majestic engine of Jianghuai Navistar, Xi'an Cummins Engine of Shaanxi, and OM457 of Auman and Daimler. Engine, Dongfeng Cummins Power, Dongfeng Power dCi11 introduced from Renault Trucks, etc.

The third technical route is to jointly manufacture engines with domestic diesel engine plants. Now that the YC6MK/YC6K12 engine jointly developed by Ji Rui Union Truck and Yuchai has been put on the market, the engine project of Bei Ben and Yuchai is expected to start construction in April 2013.
