Diesel engine is a very important industry in China's machinery industry. It has become the main supporting power for automobiles, agricultural machinery, construction machinery, ships, diesel locomotives, geological and oil drilling rigs, military, general equipment, mobile and standby power stations, diesel engines. It is the most efficient and energy-efficient model of various power machinery currently used in industrial applications. The development of the diesel engine industry has a significant impact on China's industry, agriculture, transportation and national defense construction, and people's lives. .
The global diesel engine manufacturing market is dominated by the Americas (North America), Europe, East Asia (Japan, Korea), and the world famous diesel engine companies are: American EMD Diesel Locomotive Company, American Caterpillar Company, Cummins Company of the United States. , Germany DEITZ AG, Perkins, UK, MAN Diesel, Wärtsilä, Mitsubishi, China. China's diesel engine company There is a certain advantage in the field of heavy-duty diesel engines, but the power of light-duty vehicles and non-road mobile machinery is in a weak position, especially in the field of marine diesel engines.
At present, multinational groups have listed the Chinese market as the focus of global strategic development. They have set up factories in China in the form of sole proprietorship or holding, and integrated them into their production bases for parts and engines, from power, supporting, parts and so on. All aspects occupied the market. For example, Beijing Foton Cummins Engine Co., Ltd. started construction on March 26, 2008. The main products are two new light diesel engines developed by Cummins for the joint venture company.
International diesel engine market competition pattern
1. Competition in the marine diesel engine market
Marine diesel engines are produced in large quantities using technical licenses. The centres for R&D and design are in Europe: MANDiesel (Germany, Mann Diesel) and Wärtsilä (Finland, Wärtsilä), in addition to Caterpillar (Caterpillar) and Japan Mitsubishi (Mitsubishi Heavy Industries) also has a certain market share.
European technology design companies mainly carry out new product development, license technology transfer, pre-sales and after-sales technical services; while manufacturing centers are concentrated in Asia, and Asian manufacturing companies use technology license production methods to focus on economic scale. Product quality, price, cycle and service competition.
In the marine diesel engine technology design market, the low-end diesel engine market is occupied by MANB&W, China Ship Chai and Wärtsilä. The market share of these three companies is over 95%. In the medium-speed diesel engine market, Wärtsilä has the highest market share. Other companies mainly include MANB&W, French Thermal Engine Association, Daihatsu, Japan, etc. In the high-speed diesel engine market, Germany MTU has the highest market share.

Han, Japan, and China share 85% of the world's marine diesel engine market. The world's marine diesel engine host research and development center is in Europe, and the manufacturing center is in East Asia. Korea, Japan, and China are the world's major marine engine manufacturers. The proportion of the world's total output is about 85%, of which marine low-speed machine production accounts for 90% of the world's total output.
2, the competition situation of the vehicle diesel engine market
Before 2015, diesel vehicles were very popular in European countries. The selection of diesel vehicles represented a new trend of green fashion. According to the data, in 2015, European diesel cars were close to 40% of car production. In Austria, Poland and other countries, diesel vehicles The proportion of the economy has even reached 70% to 80%; since 2009, the Japanese economy has provided subsidies to companies and individuals who purchase clean diesel vehicles to promote the popularization of such vehicles. The diesel engine has become a key development product for international diesel engines. Competition is fierce. At the same time, some auto companies with diesel engine manufacturers have left their diesel business in order to specialize in core business. DaimlerChrysler is a good example. But since 2017 European countries have announced a timetable for the ban on fuel vehicles. The status of the diesel engine market is no longer the case.
Internationally renowned diesel engine companies include Cummins, Navistar, USA, Mann, Italy VM, etc. At present, China's diesel vehicles have a large development space. In recent years, international automotive diesel giants have accelerated their investment in China. The form is to cooperate with domestic leading auto companies and become the target of technology introduction for domestic diesel engine enterprises. For example, Foton Motor cooperates with Cummins Inc. in the United States to use energy-saving and emission-reducing diesel engines as a strategic means to achieve breakthroughs in Futian passenger vehicles; In order to achieve the first brand of domestic car diesel engine Ouyide, in 2006 introduced the Italian VM company to achieve Euro IV and Euro V emission diesel engine technology, including 1.5L, 2.0L, 2.5L, 2.8L four models .
International diesel engine market development trend
1, the diesel engine group will unite, capital will be more concentrated
International diesel engines will be concentrated by capitalization and industrial development due to group reorganization and asset restructuring. This is particularly evident in the field of marine diesel engines. In the 1980s, MAN and B&W formed a new MAN-B&W group company, and in 1992 MTU acquired part of the shares of Pielstiek; Wärtsilä merged with SACM of France and Stork of the Netherlands, and joined NewSulzer in 1996; in the same year, Caterpillar of the United States and German MAN. In Japan, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Akasaka Plant The Kobe Machinery Plant cooperated with Ube Industries Co., Ltd. to transfer the Mitsubishi medium-sized UE diesel engine production from the Yokohama Plant to the Kobe Machine Plant, enabling the Yokohama Machine Plant to manufacture large-scale diesel engines. The Kobe Machinery Plant concentrates on producing medium-sized diesel engines.
2, diesel engines will gradually shift to industries in developing countries
In recent years, the main downstream industries of diesel engines (automobiles, ships, construction machinery, agricultural machinery, etc.) have gradually shifted to the industries of developing countries. Diesel engines are the main powerplants of these industries, and will also follow these industries to the developing international. International transnational The pace of investment in the company's investment in China has also accelerated, and strive to have a place in China. For example, Caterpillar Inc. in the United States has invested relatively fast in China in recent years. In 2017, the Tianjin plant put into operation 3500 engines and generator sets.
3, the focus of innovation is energy saving
From the perspective of emissions, diesel engines are the main driving force for transportation, and agricultural and industrial machinery emit carbon dioxide, which accounts for a large proportion of total environmental emissions. For a long period of time, oil resources-based internal combustion engines (including Diesel engines will continue to be the main driving force. Faced with the increasingly stringent environmental protection and energy and sustainable development requirements of the world, the world's largest multinational corporations and companies are using various high-tech means to accelerate the development of low-emission, ultra-low emissions. And zero-emission technology. Because diesel engines are more efficient than gasoline engines, they are more environmentally friendly and will be the focus of development.
