From January to April 2011, domestic light passenger production was 82,809 vehicles, an increase of 11.05% over the previous year, with sales of 88,829 vehicles, which was a year-on-year increase of 15.30%; light-duty truck production was 652,937 units, which was a year-on-year increase of 1.35% and sales of 664,724 vehicles, up 0.21% year-on-year. This has led to an increase in the assembly of light engines.
Light engine production and outsourcing
According to Jiangling Transit related parties, the classic Transit used three engines, including a gasoline engine and two diesel engines, gasoline engine Shenyang Aerospace Mitsubishi 4G64S4N, displacement 2.35 liters, maximum power 125 horsepower, to meet the national III, national IV standards . The diesel engines were Jiangling JX493ZLQ3A and JX493ZLQ3 respectively. Their displacements were 2.77 liters, their maximum power was 102 horsepower and 116 horsepower respectively, and their emissions were all National III standards.
The new generation of Transit uses a gasoline engine and a diesel engine. The gasoline engine is Ford DURATEC, with a displacement of 2.26 liters and a maximum power of 155 hp. The emission level has reached Level IV; the diesel engine is a Ford Duratorq TDCi high pressure common rail diesel engine with a displacement of 2.4 liters. The maximum power is 100 hp, 115 hp and 140 hp.
In terms of light trucks, Kairui is equipped with Isuzu's electronically controlled high-pressure common rail III engine (4JB1-TDCi); Kaiwei is equipped with Jiangling 4D series engine using Isuzu 4H engine technology and has a power of 156 hp, and has the highest power in its class; Isuzu Electronically Controlled High Pressure Common Rail State III engine; Shunda uses Isuzu electronically controlled high pressure common rail 4JB1 State III engine. Among them, the Mitsubishi engine was purchased from Shenyang, and the Isuzu and Ford engines were produced at the Nanchang headquarters.
Jianghuai Automobile Co., Ltd. introduced that: about 15% of the engines used by JAC light trucks are produced by the company, with a displacement of 2.8 liters, and the power is divided into 68 kilowatts and 88 kilowatts. In addition to self-produced engines, other brands of engines used include Xichai, Chaochai, Yangchai, Yuchai, Quanchai, Yangdong, Yunnei, etc. From the perspective of holdings, Chaochao has the largest volume.
Fukuda's light engines are also relatively abundant. The self-produced Cummins 3.8-liter engine is mainly used on the Omar. The Aubell engine is mainly used on light passengers. The products of Shenyang Aerospace Mitsubishi and Harbin Dongan Mitsubishi are mainly matched on light passengers. There are also engines for Chaochai, Shangchai and Yunnei.
The three major schools coexist
In 2009, under the stimulation of various revitalization policies, the demand for the light truck market was released, and the sales volume in the year increased by 33.4% year-on-year. In 2010, the light truck market continued its good momentum in the previous year, with sales of 1.96 million units, an increase of 26.13% over the same period last year. This strong demand has driven the vigorous development of the light engine market. The entry threshold is low, which plays a significant role in increasing volume and expanding market share. This is the main reason why many engine companies value the light diesel engine market.
At present, the competitive landscape of China's light-vehicle diesel engine market can be divided into three major schools: first, companies with foreign origin, such as Jiangling Jiangling, Nanjing Iveco, Dongfeng Chaochai, etc.; secondly, local self-owned brand enterprises, including Kunming Yunnei , Anhui Quanchai, Beiqi Futian, Guangxi Yuchai, FAW Xichai, Shandong Laidong, Jiangsu Yangchai, etc.; the third is a Sino-foreign joint venture, including Deutz FAW Dachai, Futian Cummins and so on.
With the approaching of emission upgrades and fierce competition in the market, various engine manufacturers are constantly optimizing their products. As the largest internal combustion engine manufacturer in China, Yuchai's product range covers a wide range of products. Its YC4F engine is designed by Yuchai in cooperation with German FEV and Japanese YAMAHA. The Model III uses Delphi electronically controlled high pressure common rail technology, low eddy current combustion chamber, etc. technology. At the same time, because it is designed and developed according to the starting point of the national II emission, and at the same time considering the need of upgrading the country III and the country IV, it has the potential for emission upgrading. Among them, the YC4F90-33 diesel engine was first equipped with Foton Aoling in order to meet N1 class III emissions.
The National IV model is not only a change in emissions, but also the optimization of the whole machine. On September 16, 2010, JAC Group and Navistar Corporation of the United States formally signed the "Engine Joint Venture Project" Agreement in Beijing, and signed the "Intermediate Heavy Truck" with NC2Global LLC, a joint venture company of Navistar USA and Caterpillar Inc. Joint Venture Project Agreement. As an agreement of the "Engine Joint Venture Project" for the complete vehicle accessory project, Jianghuai and NC2GlobalLLC have invested a total of RMB 1.8 billion to establish an engine joint venture company. The annual production capacity is tentatively planned to be 180,000 light diesel engines. It is understood that the JAC N721 is equipped with a SPRINT 3.0-liter and ACTEON 4.8-liter engine jointly designed by Navistar and JAC.
During the 2011 Shanghai International Auto Show, the Nanjing Iveco Leap Forward New European Card Conference was held. The new Eurocard is equipped with a new generation of F1C diesel engine, turbocharged intercooled, four-valve, common-rail mechanical injection, which can reach the national IV, and also have the ability to upgrade to Europe V.
With the introduction of new Euro VI engine technology, Foton Cummins' ISF series 2.8-liter and 3.8-liter light inline 4-cylinder high-pressure direct injection diesel engines will become the first domestic engine to meet Euro VI emission standards. Foton Cummins plans to start trial production in mid-2013 and mass-produce it at the end of 2013. Foton Motors' Ouma, New Sap, and Mongolian Pike will be equipped with Euro VI engines. Foton Motor also plans to upgrade the Euro V and Euro VI engine technologies from 2010 to 2014 and export the products to the first-tier markets in Europe and the United States.
Weichai Power introduced the VM engine production technology of 10 multi-cylinder models from Italian VM company. The displacement is between 2.9-3.8 litres, which is basically the same as that of Foton Cummins' ISF engine. This is also the mid-to-high-end segment of the light truck market. The gold displacement.
Dongfeng Chaochai CY4102-C3 diesel engine is a product jointly developed by Chaochao and AVL of Austria. It discharges DAIIII and has a national IV emission platform. In addition, Dongfeng Chaochai has obtained authorization from Navistar NV of the United States to begin production of a new type of NGD 3.0-liter diesel engine. The 3.0-liter inline 4-cylinder turbodiesel engine is designed to use an electronically controlled high-pressure common rail fuel system with piezoelectric nozzles. It currently meets the national III standard and has the upgrading capability of the National IV and National V standards. It can be used in various light trucks. Light passengers.
Not many high-end products
At present, most diesel engines equipped with light trucks are mid- to low-end, while mid- to high-end brands such as Chaochai, Dongfeng and Jianghuai have relatively large shares, while Jiangling, Qingling and Futian's mid- to high-end light trucks use their own diesel engines. If you do not develop new products and continue to rely on low-end products, your company's living space will become smaller and smaller.
At present, most of the domestic low-end light trucks use 485, 490 diesel engines, and the price is relatively cheap. There are also many manufacturers that have the production capacity of these two models. Homogeneity competition results in low value-added products. In order to compete for the market and make a price war, corporate profits have become thinner and thinner. Most manufacturers believe that high-end development can seek more profits.
With the acceleration of urbanization, the demand for short-distance transportation between urban areas, between urban and rural areas, and between cities has grown rapidly. In line with this market demand, mid- to high-end light trucks have been converted into vans, and the market is also profitable. specialty. The demand for high-end development in the light-duty truck market has also driven the high-end trend of light engines, and the light truck industry has entered a new stage in its understanding of power support. The entire vehicle company has paid more attention to the construction of the power system. Based on this view, vehicle manufacturers have generally done detailed development plans for high-end light-duty diesel engines with high technological content.
However, the high-end light engine still faces many difficulties. The development of high-end light engines is conducive to energy conservation and emission reduction. However, the current level of technology cannot meet the needs of the high-end market. At present, the added value of domestic light engine products is still relatively low.
At present, there are fewer types of high-end light diesel engines on the market and the market is smaller. Some high-end light engine enterprises plan to have annual production capacity of several hundred thousand units, but the monthly production is only a few thousand units, because the market demand is not large, and too much production will not go out. In terms of price, the price of light engines varies according to the sales channel. The engine price circulated on the after-sales service channel is slightly higher, and the engine sold to the automaker is cheaper because of its large purchase volume, which may affect the user's consideration of maintenance costs.
