The engine is the heart of the car. In the next few months, Hunan's first self-produced automobile engine will be produced in Changsha. The introduction of Mitsubishi's most advanced engine technology will also drive a large number of high-end auto parts and related supporting industries. Settled in Changsha.
Into the factory building of GAC Mitsubishi Engine Factory in Changsha Economic Development Zone, Changsha, staff are busy debugging equipment. 'At present the final commissioning of the equipment, will soon be trial production.' Xiao Yutao told reporters a few days ago, 'The engine project is The long-awaited project of GAC Mitsubishi Motors Co., Ltd., a globally-produced engine that will not be mass-produced, will be put into trial production in small batches. After various tests are passed, formal production will be conducted in October.
High technical content, powerful and fuel-efficient
Xiao Yutao introduced that the factory will produce two 2.0-liter and 2.4-liter naturally aspirated engines. The highlight of these two engines is the use of electric valve adjustment technology, which allows the engine to ensure the ideal power output at all rotation speeds. Fuel-efficient results. In addition, a new Mitsubishi 1.5T turbo engine, which has not yet been mass-produced, will be produced. The engine will use a dual-injection system that is more powerful and energy-efficient than conventional turbine engines.
"This project will fill the gap in the production of automobile engines in Hunan, and enhance the local supporting capabilities of Hunan's automobile industry components to further improve the product structure of the Hunan automobile industry. ' Xiao Yutao said that the Mitsubishi Motors' most advanced engine was introduced synchronously. Guangqi Mitsubishi and Changsha have become Mitsubishi Motors, the most important production base of GAC Group outside the headquarters will drive the total vehicle production capacity of GAC Mitsubishi from 130,000 units to 300,000 units, and will also drive a large number of high-end auto parts and related supporting industries. After settled in Changsha, it is expected that the entire Guangqi Mitsubishi's hematopoietic capacity in Changsha will benefit the Hunan automobile industry.
'Now we can build the heart of the car and we can also provide blood in the future.' Xiao Yutao told reporters that the future engine plant can not only greatly boost Hunan's new industrialization, but its powerful hematopoietic capacity can also benefit the entire Hunan automobile industry. , Become an important part of improving the automobile industry chain in Hunan.
In the past five years, the Hunan automobile industry has continuously made breakthroughs and achieved a new leap in quality and quantity. From the annual production of less than 400,000 vehicles in 2012 to the annual output of more than 950,000 vehicles in 2016, the annual output in 2017 exceeded 1 million. Vehicle.
The Hunan provincial government delegation visited GAC Group for only one month. GAC's Mitsubishi engine and complete vehicle technical transformation project was started in Changsha, reflecting the 'Hunan speed'.
Industry gathering brings about continuous improvement of the industrial chain
The implementation of 'changing cages for birds' in Changsha Economic Development Zone has not only effectively utilized and inactivated state-owned assets, but also fully utilized the original company's plant facilities, effectively saving time for the construction of engine projects. The project construction period has been compressed from the original plan for 24 months. 18 months.
The reporter saw on the scene that in less than a year, the modern factory building after the 'changing cages for birds' was debuted. It will soon produce the most advanced engine of GAC Mitsubishi. At the same time, it is 198 meters long and connects the engine plant and Guangzhou Automobile Mitsubishi's main plant area. The underground passage is also under construction.
GAC Mitsubishi, SAIC Volkswagen, BYD, GAC Fiat Chrysler... In recent years, Changsha's automobile industry has grown rapidly, becoming another pillar industry after construction machinery, electronic information, and new materials.
Last year, Changsha, Guangxi Automobile Group’s Mitsubishi Outlander, SAIC Volkswagen Skoda Kodiak, Changfeng Cheetah CS9EV, GAC Mitsubishi’s “Chi Chi”, Zhongtai Junma S70 and other models have been put into production or production, and the total vehicle production capacity exceeds 1 million vehicles. SAIC Volkswagen, Guangzhou Automobile Mitsubishi Motors, Guangzhou Automobile Fick, and Changfeng Group have output value exceeding 10 billion. These major events have driven the industrial cluster of the park, and the 'butterfly effect' has also continued to expand.
Industrial clustering has brought about continuous improvement of the industrial chain. The key links and core components of various industrial chains have been continuously introduced, landed, and built in Changsha Economic Development Zone. Among them, the headquarters of Sonegg Automotive Germany Co., Ltd. and the global R&D center have settled as a whole. The park, which invested RMB1 billion in auto parts projects, was completed and put into operation earlier this year. This is a precise breakthrough in the investment of pure vehicle manufacturers into the entire industry chain auto companies. The total investment of Hunan Shuopu Power lithium battery separator project RMB 5 billion, 8 wet membrane production lines will be built, and it is expected to realize an annual output of 400 million square meters of membranes, providing core components for the new energy automotive industry.
