In the automotive glass industry, the name of the Yangtze River glass is loud.
The boss of this passenger car glass industry, with nearly 60 years of development experience, illustrates the road to excellence and focus on the industry leader.
At the beginning of July, the “100 Upward Road” large-scale event sponsored by China Automotive News went into the Yangtze River Glass to explore the secrets of the growth and growth of the Yangtze River Glass. As the helm of the Yangtze River Glass, Wan Huanchun, Chairman of the Yangtze River Glass, was very praised. Low-key, just repeated emphasis: 'We just want to focus on the passenger car glass, the bus glass to the extreme.'
Supporting a day in the passenger car glass industry
Founded in 1962, Yangtze River Glass was the first to be used as a civilian mirror. It is a street-run factory with only a dozen people. It has become a leading brand in the field of safe glass production for passenger cars in China, integrating design, manufacturing, sales and service. 1. It is an early and large bus safety glass production base in China.
In the development of the past 60 years, the Yangtze River Glass has seized the opportunity of the times, following the rapid development of China's automobile industry, and constantly achieving innovation and breakthroughs, and has also made several take-offs of the Yangtze River glass.
In 2000, the Yangtze River Glass was reformed to make the Yangtze River glass more adaptable to marketization. The new market-centered mechanism changed the way of the market-independent products and blind investment self-technical reforms in the planning era, and soon formed The development of passenger car glass is a professional direction, and continuously develop new products in the passenger car glass field, expand the market, increase production capacity, enhance the full range of glass supporting capacity of passenger cars, sales growth rapidly, doubling, product coverage gradually increased.
After that, Changjiang Glass successively introduced advanced production equipment, horizontal tempering furnace, laminating tempering furnace, automatic computerized hot bending six-chamber furnace, automatic screen printing machine, automatic computer cutting machine and other equipment to meet domestic and foreign passenger cars. Manufacturing enterprise safety glass matching and new product development, processing accuracy, product delivery needs.
Today, Changjiang Glass has long-term cooperation with Yutong, BYD, Futian, Jinlong, Yinlong and other OEMs, providing support for more than 75% of the bus manufacturers in the country, as well as hundreds of cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, etc. The bus has provided product support. More than 90% of the first- and second-tier cities in the country have used the Yangtze River glass. It is the absolute overlord in the field of passenger glass in China. 'In 2017, the sales revenue increased by 9.17% compared with 2016, maintaining a continuous growth of nearly 20 years. 2018 Due to the increasing professionalism and brand effect of Changjiang Glass, sales revenue in January-June increased by 68% compared with the same period in 2017. ' Wan Huanchun said.
Technological innovation is the core competitiveness
In the interview, Wan Huanchun repeatedly emphasized that the innovation ability of Changjiang Glass is its important core competitiveness: 'We have always been committed to product innovation, and always lead the innovation of domestic passenger car glass products.'
It is true that China's passenger car glass industry has a 'new style' and 'new structure' every time, almost all come from the Yangtze River glass. Related examples are too numerous to mention.
Most of the original passenger glass used closed glass, the ventilation effect is very poor, and the comfort is very low. The sliding window of the old-style aluminum alloy window frame structure has poor sealing effect, flooding, air leakage, high noise, and the aluminum alloy window frame is easy to fall off. In view of these circumstances, Changjiang Glass took the lead in developing the glass built-in window series in 2003, including built-in sliding window, built-in open window, built-in lifting window, etc., which not only effectively solved the ventilation in the cabin, but also Windproof, rainproof, noise reduction and other effects have been significantly improved, greatly improving the interior environment of the cabin, and increasing the aesthetics of the body. 'In 2003, the built-in sliding window was promoted from Beijing Public Transport, and then quickly spread throughout the country. ' Wan Huanchun said proudly.
Based on the existing built-in sliding window, built-in open window, emergency exit window and other products, Changjiang Glass has continuously upgraded its products and successfully developed a full glass surface (second generation) built-in sliding window. The appearance is full glass surface, which is more beautiful. The sealing performance is more reliable, and the service life is more than two years longer than the traditional built-in sliding window. The second-generation urban built-in sliding windows are basically selected in the first- and second-tier cities in the country. At the same time, the full-plane (third-generation) built-in sliding window has also been successfully developed. Provide trial installation for Yutong T7.
In the research and development of 'people without me, people have my fine, people make me create', the Yangtze River glass has been developing a variety of new products, each time in the forefront of the industry.
In 2007, Yangtze River Glass developed a special window for emergency escape, and actively participated in the preparation of standards to promote the implementation of standards. At present, the external emergency window has formed an industry standard and has become the preferred configuration for public passenger safety escape. After years of development, Optimized, Yangtze River Glass can now provide push-out emergency windows with support rods, gas struts, one-button electric control and other structures to meet different needs of customers, and add built-in sliding windows or built-in flips on the emergency window. Open the window to ensure safe escape, improve ventilation and ventilation.
Traditional buses are mostly square. With the continuous development of passenger car technology, the craftsmanship of body accessories needs to be continuously improved. Changjiang Glass is the first to develop horizontal small curvature tempered side window glass, which provides favorable conditions for diversifying the shape of tourist bus body. Now some The design of the streamlined shape of the tourist bus body benefits from this product.
Big to strong three-character
According to reports, the passenger car glass industry has the characteristics of small batch, multi-variety and individuality. This kind of industry features, contrary to the large-volume, standardized production mode, requires passenger car glass in process optimization, cost control, efficiency improvement, quality control and other aspects. Always improve the level.
'From small to big, from the big to die, the bus glass enterprises are not a minority, largely because of the characteristics of the industry, bus glass production seems to be simple, but want to do well, do the fine door is very high. ' Wan Huanchun Xiang The reporter introduced the San Zi Jing of the Yangtze River Glass in its invincible position.

Wan Huanchun pointed out that under the market upgrade, in order to meet the higher demand of new energy buses, Changjiang Glass has successfully developed new lightweight glass, heat insulation and other glass in the past few years, leading the upgrade of passenger car glass technology, bringing more energy saving to users. Comfortable driving experience.
Changjiang Glass Company has invested more than 10 million yuan to renovate equipment and technology, and improve the thickness of tempered glass for side windows of passenger cars from 5mm to 4mm, and reduce the weight of automotive glass by more than 20%. 'Especially for new energy vehicles, Weight reduction is very important. Although the thickness is reduced by 1mm, it can still guarantee high safety. ' Wan Huanchun said that Yutong, BYD and other bus companies have nearly 10,000 passenger cars with 4mm tempered side windows.
In terms of improving the heat insulation efficiency of the products, Changjiang Glass invested 50 million yuan to build new workshops, purchase equipment, and introduce advanced technology and scientific research experts from abroad. It is reported that Changjiang Glass has mass-produced insulated interlayer windshield, using Japanese S-LEC. Insulating interlayer film not only effectively blocks ultraviolet rays, but also blocks infrared rays while maintaining high light transmittance. At the same time, nano-insulating tempered window glass with high heat insulation rate has been supplied in batches using nanotechnology. High visible light transmittance, high heat insulation, low radiation performance. Compared with window glass with solar control film insulation technology, nano heat insulation tempered side window glass has excellent adhesion, smooth surface and easy cleaning. New energy vehicles with integrated vehicle insulation glass can increase the cruising range by about 20%.
At present, Changjiang Glass is developing high-efficiency and energy-saving insulating glass, which has significantly improved the heat-insulating index such as sunshade coefficient and heat transfer coefficient. The sunlight entering the car is reduced, the heat inside the car is reduced, and the body glass is further improved. Energy-saving effect, will once again lead the product innovation of passenger car glass.
In order to better serve customers, Changjiang Glass has set up hundreds of after-sales service stations throughout the country, providing technical support and maintenance services, reducing the after-sales cost and maintenance cost of OEMs and bus customers, and improving the quality and efficiency of after-sales service.
