Standing in front of Fast's patent wall, ZTE is particularly edgy in the vortex.
Fast's Patent Wall
Some people say that the ZTE event is destined to become a landmark event on China's rise: its own top-notch high-tech company will 'kick it down every time', but it can bring us pain and sobriety.
The core we lack is not just chips, but core technologies. The core technology is controlled by people. The so-called high technology is like paper-weave kites. It is a car that once dreamed of 'market for technology' but only exchanged 'Ha-ha'. Industry, Fast is more aware of how important the core technology is.
During the 40 years of reform and opening up, Fast has made two major contributions to the industry. First, whether in 2004, 2010 or 2017, each node where demand broke out, Fast has met the largest and smallest The second is that with the advantage of 'technology + cost', Fast has kept the products of foreign multinationals out of the country and has made tremendous contributions to the industry.' Platinum said that Fast has always insisted on the direction of independent research and development.

'It's not just a glance at R&D'
43%, this is the rise of Fast's R&D expenditure this year. As a result, R&D expenditure will account for 5% of sales revenue, far exceeding the national average of 2.1% (China's GDP in 2017 is 82.7 trillion, R&D expenditure Put 1.75 trillion).
Although R&D expenditures have risen sharply, Yan Jianbo still feels that it is not enough to spend, 'The money can't be spent in random, mainly around four aspects.' He said.
Innovating around the new four inventions, cultivating academic leaders, and introducing cutting-edge verification methods, Fast has paid special attention to basic research. This is also the heart of China's scientific research community. 'And Fast's input is systematic, including Fundamental sciences such as new materials, new processes, etc. ' Yan Jianbo told the "Commercial Automotive News" reporter that investment in basic research may persist for 3 to 5 years without seeing results, because it requires repeated verification, which takes time and effort.' But these jobs must be done.'
Intelligent assembly scenario
Interestingly, the person who has made a lot of praise for basic research is the head of sales at Fast. This person in charge told the reporter that because 'the basic research is better than the opponent', Fast's product performance, technology cost reduction effect Significantly. 'When you go to see our lab, you know, from raw materials, product components to various parts, sub-assemblies, basic work is very solid. 'He said, 'by analyzing the material to develop Fast The material standards, in order to achieve a 20% increase in endurance life compared to conventional materials, are very helpful for sales.
Fast has always been willing to spend money on R&D personnel. During the difficult period when wages were not available, Fast used the limited funds to send salaries to scientific researchers and sent researchers to outside training. So core research and development The team has not lost. Today, Fast still entrusts scientists with important tasks.
Fast Technology Center Ranked in the National Top 100
On the fiftieth anniversary of the establishment of the company, Fast will carry out the “Five-Five” talent training work. That is, by the year 2020, it will train 50 management complex talents, 50 artisans and 50 academic leaders. ' Among these people, Many of them are after the 85s and even the 90s. 'Yan Chi-Pui said that the quality of Fast's employees is improved. The construction of talent teams is not something to talk about. It is to take practical actions. 'Reform and implement the salary of scientific and technical personnel to enable them to improve their lives. Gain a sense of success; improve the performance evaluation system for star-level employees and open up the growth channels for employees.
Yan Jianbo said that he hopes to see each engineer become a leader in his field through investments. 'The scale of Fast has been so big, why not?'
'New products are fundamental to business development'
One year later, another 10 new products appeared before the eyes.
10 New Products Debuted at Fast Technology Innovation Week
'New products are fundamental to the development of a company. No new product company will be finished. The current product can only be maintained.' Yan Jianbo believes.
Fast, who has firmly occupied the top position of the heavy-duty truck, has not kept its promise, but is constantly expanding its business scope on the basis of the present.
For example, the mechanical transmission upgraded to the S platform has been standardized by many OEMs as the national VI product. The next step is to reduce the cost. Yan Jianbo said that Fast wanted to pass the cost of the S-transmission for 2 to 3 years. Reduced to the same level as the current transmission, 'it is very competitive'.

For example, intelligent systems, AT to go more than 600 horsepower; AMT is currently the main modular, after October this year, integrated, integrated products will be mass production.

Hydraulic automatic transmission assembly
For example, in the light truck products, the trend of high-end light trucks is very obvious. Fast is determined to enter this market. It is a blue ocean. “At present, Fast 8 small, small 8 block monthly sales are high The annual sales volume of China Cards continues to increase. ' Yan Jianbo said that Baoji is building a production base of 1 million Taichung Light Trucks, and will introduce intelligent products in the future to ensure the upgrading of light trucks.
A total of about 3 billion yuan in the Faster medium-duty transmission and new energy transmission project started construction in Baoji High-tech Automotive Industry Park
For example, hydraulic retarder. Fast product line is full, and it is put on the market in batches. 'Hydraulic retarder is a complex gas, electricity, liquid system and needs a lot of work. For example, how is the braking energy and engine cooling system? Matching, this requires the retarder to be loaded on the drum and then heat-balanced on the drum. 'The head of Fast Technologies told reporters, 'We took a long time, ran countless distances, collected including the southwest, and the northwest The data of various complicated road conditions, such as the maximum slope and the longest downhill slope, were followed by targeted experiments, and eventually the life of the brake pads was increased by 4 times, and the tire life was extended by 2 to 3 times. The annual savings of 30,000 yuan were achieved. . '
Fast Hydraulic Retarder Dunhuang Line
A user who transported transmissions from Xi'an to Liuzhou had previously traveled downhill at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour. After installing a FAST hydraulic retarder, it achieved a constant speed downhill with a speed of 50 to 60 kilometers per hour; it had to enter the service station before. Line up to add water and run for 34 hours. Now it can save 6 hours. The comprehensive fuel consumption can save 500~600 yuan.
The technology is transformed into productivity. Hydraulic retarders are contemporary. 'The hydraulic retarder can recreate a Fast.' Yan Jianbao is very optimistic about it.
'Putting out new ways to eliminate yourself'
In Fast's '5221' strategy, it was mentioned that 'traditional market sales accounted for 50% of sales, and smart and new energy products accounted for 20% of sales', which is one liter and one drop. What is the basis?
Fast new energy transmission
'Without the 50% reduction in traditional products, there will be no increase in '20%' of new energy. I would rather reduce the number of traditional products, and for the sake of blue sky and white clouds, shouldering social responsibilities, but also allowing new energy sources to increase faster. ' Yan Jianbo’s attitude is firm.
In the second half of this year, Fast will launch 2nd, 4th and 6th new energy products in batches. For heavy trucks, 6E heavy-duty truck 6E240 new energy transmission will appear recently, and sales will continue to rise in the second half of the year. At the same time, old products did not eat old books. For example, changes in noise, forced lubrication, light weight, cost reduction, service upgrades, etc. all made Fast's old products glow.

Take a new path and eliminate yourself. This is the innovation that belongs to Fast.
