"At present, China's automobile market is still facing many risks and problems, so enterprises should have a clear understanding. First, the pressure of automobile enterprises' production and operation is still great, second, the difficulty of promoting new energy vehicles is still great, third, the decline of Chinese brand passenger vehicles is greater than that of the whole industry, fourth, it is more difficult for automobile enterprises to go out, and fifth, there are uncertain risks in the automobile industry chain." Chen Shihua, Deputy Secretary General of China Automobile Industry Association, said this at a small media communication meeting on October 13.
Recent reports from the auto industry show that the recovery of China's auto industry has exceeded expectations. From January to September, China's auto production and sales completed 16.957 million and 17.116 million respectively, continuing the rapid momentum of recovery growth, achieving year-on-year growth for six consecutive months, with the decline narrowed to less than 7%. The auto industry attaches great importance to the "golden nine" return.
It is particularly noteworthy that the cumulative growth rate of commercial vehicles in China has achieved positive year-on-year growth for four consecutive months. Among them, the growth of heavy and light trucks was strong, driving the substantial growth of commercial vehicles. This year, the sales volume of freight cars broke the historical record of the month for the sixth time, thus supporting commercial vehicles to achieve the historical record of the month for the sixth time.
In the face of a much better than expected recovery growth, the China Automobile Industry Association made a judgment on the trend of "positive growth is expected next year", but at the same time, it reminded the industry enterprises not to ignore the relevant risks, so it also had the words at the beginning of this article.
Luo Junmin, deputy secretary-general of China Automobile Industry Association, believes that the automobile supply chain and related industries are facing unprecedented opportunities and challenges. On the one hand, the "new four modernizations" provide an excellent opportunity for the development of China's automobile supply chain. In terms of "electrification", China and other countries in the world are on the same running line, and the vigorous development of "intelligence" has brought huge innovation space to industries and enterprises; On the other hand, China's huge traditional parts enterprises are facing the most severe challenges and are suffering from the great pain of transformation.
When it comes to the automobile industry chain, we have to mention the machine tool industry. As we all know, the automobile industry is the largest and most important market in the machine tool industry. The manufacturing of key parts such as automobile engine, gearbox, high-pressure oil pump drive unit, hub unit, knuckle, axle, bearing, and automobile chassis requires a large number of high-precision, efficient, and highly reliable CNC machine tools. The application scope of flexible automatic production lines is expanding. With the in-depth development of China's own brand cars and new energy vehicles and the rapid upgrading of the demand for localization of manufacturing equipment, the market share of domestic CNC machine tools in the field of automobile parts manufacturing will further increase.
In recent years, the state has taken strong measures to encourage the application demonstration of domestic CNC machine tools and CNC systems in the field of automobile parts manufacturing. The enterprises in the machine tool industry have made many efforts and improvements for the application in the automobile industry, and have made great progress. What is more outstanding is that in terms of automobile stamping production line, Jinan No. 2 Machine Tool Group Co., Ltd. has stood at the leading position in the international industry, and its market share at home and abroad has been rising for many years; Jiangsu Yawei Machine Tool Co., Ltd., Hefei Hezuo Co., Ltd. and other enterprises have gradually expanded their market shares at home and abroad. In the field of auto parts manufacturing, many enterprises have developed applicable machine tool products or flexible production lines, such as Shanghai Machine Tool, Ningjiang Machine Tool, Dongfeng Equipment Manufacturing Factory, Beijing Gongyan Precision Machine Tool, Jiangsu Yawei Machine Tool, Shanghai Jiaotong University Zhibang, Qizhong CNC, Huazhong CNC, Guangzhou CNC, and have made certain achievements in promotion and application. However, in general, the domestic machine tool products account for a small proportion of the total demand in the automotive field, and their strength in the middle and high end of the industrial chain is weak. The future development is facing huge challenges, especially in the processing of key components of the automotive engine powertrain, which has great room for improvement and must catch up.
Therefore, machine tool enterprises need to pay close attention to the development status and future trends of China's automobile industry, plan and layout in time for the development needs of the automobile industry and the safety of the industrial chain, complement the weaknesses and weaknesses of the automobile industry chain, and realize the independent control of automobile manufacturing equipment as soon as possible
