In the automobile circle, Li Jun has long been a resounding figure in his body, there are many 'firsts': the first batch of China's own training of internal combustion engine Ph.D., the first automobile enterprises from the Chinese Academy of Engineering, the first On the 20th of December, he also won a new 'first' - the first elected to China Automotive Engineering (China Automotive Engineering Society) Academician chairman of the academicians.
At the Ninth National Congress of China Society of Automotive Engineers on December 20, Li Jun formally took the post of chairman of the Ninth Council of China Society of Automotive Engineers after voting by voting. With the words of the previous chairman Fu Yuwu Said it will open a new era of 'academician governance' After the closing of the member congress, Li Jun sat in a bright conference room to accept an exclusive interview with "China Automotive News", he confident, high-spirited, not only The industry's next direction and trend of development published unique insights and assertions, but also to learn the future development and planning quite idea.
From checking information to writing information
'Looking back twenty years ago, just entering the car business, I am engaged in technology research and development work, I feel like doing nothing ..' Since graduation into the automotive industry, Li Jun has always been striving in the field of automotive technology research and development in China at the forefront , Witnessed the Chinese automobile industry, especially in the field of research and development from scratch.
At that time, China's auto industry was still like a baby in a staggering mood, and Li Jun's initial research and development work started exactly from 'searching for information.' During the course of consulting various international documents, he deeply realized China and foreign advanced level of the huge gap between, and this more determined to go his own way of independent research and development, to build China's independent R & D system determination.It turns out that this road to go very hard, Jun Li therefore became the tireless engine This distressed the doctor's wife, claiming he was 'overdrawing his life'.
However, this difficult road of independent innovation has also proved to be the only way for China's automobile industry to become stronger and stronger.After years of hard work, China's automobile industry has been ranked No. 1 in global automobile production and sales for eight consecutive years and has been shrinking with foreign countries Even at some technical fields, China's auto companies have already become the top tier in the world at the advanced level. "From the past, we have been able to start writing our own information!" Li Chun said delightedly.
'China's auto companies must create their own unique R & D system, management processes, personnel and standards to improve the technological level of their products and form their own unique technical threshold and product characteristics to enhance differentiated competitiveness. Of course, continuous open cooperation is also very important in this process. "Jun Li emphasized that while technology can be bought, as long as it is a commercially available technology, it can not form a firm basis for differentiated competition in enterprises. Have this confidence.
New energy vehicles that 'graduated' out
Towards the end of the year, news on further tightening of subsidies for new energy vehicles in the coming year has become the focus of attention. The Institute of Engineering, which released the Roadmap for Energy-Saving and New Energy Vehicles in October 2016, has also followed closely and actively promoted new energy sources Automobile development, no doubt, under the leadership of the Institute of Engineering Jun Li will continue to promote the development of new energy vehicles in China to provide support and help.
Li Chun believes that the new energy vehicles through the start, nurturing and development of the three stages, has reached the commercialization of the development, the market test of the critical period.He said: 'Admittedly, we can not allow children to skip primary, junior high school and High school stage, but we can not stop him from relying on our own living. Now we should graduate to find a job.
In Jun Li's opinion, the reason why new energy vehicles are currently facing a variety of technology options, because there is not fully accepted the market test, but China's new energy automotive industry already has the confidence and strength to meet the challenges of the market.
According to statistics, in the first 11 months of this year, the production and sales of new energy vehicles in China reached 639,000 units and 609,000 units respectively, up 49.7% and 51.4% respectively from the same period of last year, and this year it is expected to achieve the full-year sales target of 700,000 units. Starting from 2015, China's new energy vehicles production and sales for two consecutive years ranked first in the world, the cumulative promotion of more than 1 million units in the global market accounted for more than half of the share to Beiqi New Energy and BYD, represented by new energy vehicle companies have been Market recognition, to achieve profitability, and in the 'three' (ie, motor, battery and electric control) technology, China's auto companies have accumulated.
Based on this, Li Jun pointed out that the prospects of China's new energy automotive industry are endless. The "invisible hand" behind the market will play a more effective role in allocating resources than the visible hand.
Intelligent networking car great opportunity
Intelligent Network Alliance is the most popular term mentioned in the automotive industry in recent years.When it comes to intelligent networking cars, Li Jun is also quite a little excited: 'Intelligent Network Alliance is essentially a revolution in product driving , Involving information exchange, big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and other aspects, the Chinese automobile industry has a great opportunity in this area with a bright future. "
The reason he made such a judgment is mainly based on the following three points:
First of all, China has a strong comparative advantage in the field of information technology. A group of China's communications network enterprises represented by Huawei, Datang and ZTE are at the forefront of the world. Even the head of the Internet company told Li Jun: 'Only Need to put forward the relevant product demand, within 18 months, we can take out the complete product.
Secondly, the most important condition in the development process of smart driving vehicles is the actual application scenario, therefore, when developing smart driving vehicles, we must understand the road environment and driving habits in China. Local enterprises naturally have the advantage of proximity From the product function and performance positioning, to the relevant standards and certification work, independent brands auto companies will master the dominance.
Thirdly, as the world's largest new car market, it will provide powerful support and guarantee for the development of China's intelligent car network, which is of great benefit to reducing the related costs of product development and manufacturing for automobile enterprises.
Among the "pyramid theory" of automotive products mentioned by Li Jun, the lowest level is machinery, the second level is mechatronics, and the second is electrification, including new energy vehicles. As a result, The so-called 'Internet of things', at the moment it seems, is artificial intelligence at the top, and Chinese car companies are climbing up from the third in the 'pyramid.' We have a huge advantage in the fourth tier - the Internet of Things. 'Jun Li said.
In order to speed up the layout and pace of China's automobile industry in the field of intelligent networking, Li Jun revealed to the reporter of China Automotive News that China Society of Automotive Engineers is joining forces with China Association of Automobile Manufacturers to speed up the preparatory work for the establishment of a car intelligent network innovation center.
A high starting point is also a big challenge
Nowadays, the new development goal of China's automobile industry has been set as 'made big and strong' and 'Made in China 2025' put forward a series of requirements for the future development of China's automobile industry.As the only scientific and technological community in the automobile industry, it continues to upgrade the technical level of the industry Is in front of Jun Li a difficult task, but in this regard, Li Jun confident, his vision is to build China Automotive Engineering Society into an important platform for the five-in-one.
1 The first is to build a platform for innovation. And Fu Yu coincides with the same, Li Jun also "innovation" as the most important factor in China's automotive powerhouse, while for the China Society of Automotive Engineers, from the past bit by bit Accumulation, automotive lightweight technology innovation alliance has come to its tenth year, participated in the launch of the National Battery Innovation Center and China Intelligent Net Alliance Automobile Industry Innovation Union has been set up to build the industry innovation system, creating a new era of automotive innovation platform Has arrived, which is also the most important and the most crucial mission shouldered by Li Jun.
2 Second, to create an international platform.As Zhao Chi, executive vice president of China Machinery Industry Federation, said at this member congress, China Society of Automotive Engineers' has become a well-known at home and abroad, activities are very active and Has a considerable strength of science and technology groups', Jun Li as chairman of the rotating FISITA's experience, will also be to improve the Chinese Society of Automotive Engineers play an influential role in the internationalization.
Thirdly, it will become a platform for convergence and promote the inter-industry integration and development.
Fourth, build a platform for educating people and continue to play the role of the China Society of Automotive Engineering in training automobile talents so as to provide more young automotive engineers with a platform for exchanges and self-improvement.
Fifth, deepen the service platform to better understand the needs of automobile enterprises and provide them with better and more effective services.
Of course, the accumulation and foundation of the work of CAE in the past thirty years has laid a solid foundation for the next work of Li Jun. Standing on such a high starting point, Jun Li will shoulder the historical mission and responsibilities than before However, we believe that a well-known academic leader in this industry will surely fulfill his promises promised on the occasion of his new job: 'To fulfill its duties, to forge ahead, Load bearing, do not insult mission.
