A change in the status of imported vehicles and joint venture vehicles dominates the market. Today, in the domestic automobile market in China, the voice of domestic cars is also growing. Especially in the SUV market, domestic vehicles such as Haval H6 have suppressed many imported cars. And the joint-venture vehicle. The sales volume is large. The reputation of domestic cars is also large. The popularity of Haval H6 is not even lower than that of Hyundai Toyota. With its fame, many domestic cars sell well and they are praised as Chinese competition. In one breath.
The development of domestically-produced cars is in full swing. They have gained both fame and fortune. However, domestically-made cars also suffer from consumer criticism. They are unable to produce excellent engines. The engines used in domestic cars are not directly purchased from foreign countries, but are foreign. This kind of shanzhai is not copied, but it is studied in reverse. For example, the Haval H6 is said to have a world-leading engine and is also a cottage Honda engine.
Well-made domestic cars, manufacturers also have money, but why not produce a good engine? From the average person's point of view, this is caused by the following reasons.
Metal casting process behind
The cylinder body of the engine is cast from metal. The metal is usually cast iron or cast aluminum. However, China does not produce high-quality cast iron and cast aluminum. Without high-quality raw materials, it can only be imported. This is a burden for automakers. is too big.
Machinery processing equipment imported
With high-quality raw materials, in order to produce excellent engines, precision instruments are also required. High-precision machine tools and precision machine tools are purchased from abroad. This cost is also very high.
Lack of good mechanics
With excellent raw materials and machinery, it also requires excellent mechanics to produce assembled engines. However, this piece is also lacking in China. We are too unfocused on the training of senior mechanics.
In this way, the cost of producing a good engine is more expensive than direct purchase. Obviously, manufacturers do not want to do it themselves. In addition, the production of a good engine requires advanced technology, and foreign manufacturers are unwilling to sell it to us. Instead, they engage in technical blockades, because only in this way can we continue to purchase their engines.
As for independent research and development, domestic manufacturers do not have this interest and they do not have this demand. After foreign auto makers make profits by selling cars, they will invest a large part of their revenue in R&D, while domestic manufacturers do not. Thus, the Great Wall passes Haval H6. The financial resources are rolling, but they are very embarrassing in R&D. This is because since the Shanzhai engines can all sell well, why bother to study new ones? In fact, this is true of most domestic cars. It also created a domestic car to work hard on the appearance, but in the engine and other core components do not seek progress.
The production of an excellent engine cannot be blamed. This is a key issue for us. It is not our intention to engage in research, not the so-called technical blockade. This is a very sensible cause, but it is also an objective fact.
