Large vehicle manufacturing companies can drive the development of the peripheral accessories industry, and the entry of automakers often needs to consider the supply radius of accessories. Beiqi Foton originally set up Changsha, but also fancy the spare parts factories dotted here, but now it has to speed up the expansion of production, and anxiety has followed: Can parts supply match the requirements?
The longer-term question is: How long can the profitable Hunan auto parts company make money, and how many companies can always make money?
"The moon will walk me, too."
Regarding the figures of the Hunan automobile industry, the statistics of relevant departments are as follows: 116 enterprises above designated size, including 28 vehicle companies and 88 accessory companies. However, the number of parts manufacturers in the province may not be accurate, because a large number of companies often sneak into the water because of their identity (private or individual) and scale. Their financial status is a mystery.
The current market situation proves that the accessory industry is also on the rise when the automotive industry is surging.
With the expansion of vehicle manufacturers, Hunan auto parts companies have also shown a trend of “Panlongfengfengâ€, among which Changsha County relying on Beiqi Foton is highly significant for specimens. At present, Beiqi Futian Changsha Automobile Factory only has two workshops for final assembly and painting. All parts, especially the “three major partsâ€, are supplied by local parts manufacturers. At the same time as Beiqi Futian Changsha Automobile Factory increased its capital and capacity, several large-scale accessories companies adjacent to it are also expanding accordingly.
According to Li Yong, the county governor of Changsha County, “There are two vehicle manufacturing companies in the county and 26 auto supporting companies. It is estimated that the taxes paid this year will account for 20% of the county’s total fiscal revenue. The current total automobile industry in Changsha County is More than 80 billion, after forming a complete industrial chain, the total will reach more than 30 billion yuan."
"Money floats in the sky"
Not long ago, China’s “100 Best Automotive Parts Suppliers†was released, and Hunan Torch’s four companies were shortlisted.
The Torch is like an open octopus tentacles, and its appetite is not just satisfied with the automotive parts leader. People in the industry noticed that in the 2001 annual report, the slogan it put forward was "integrating industry advantages and participating in the international division of labor." By the second year, it became "becoming the best auto industry group in China."
In fact, through a series of dazzling mergers and acquisitions in the past two years, the automobile kingdom built by the torch has become increasingly clear. In this auto kingdom, there are not only auto parts for upstream products, but also cars, light passengers, and heavy trucks that are produced in automobile plants in other provinces.
From the accessories manufacturer to a full-automobile factory or a complete vehicle, this example also exists in Hunan. In addition to several passenger car plants with small production capacity, Hunan Automobile Axle Factory, which is located in the city of Tsu in northern Hunan, is the larger one. .
However, in any case, the auto parts industry in Hunan is still “a chicken featherâ€, and the gap with the famous parts factory in Zhejiang is surprising. At the meeting of the Fourth Session of the Standing Committee of the Ninth CPPCC Zhejiang Provincial Committee, a formally submitted investigation report on Zhejiang's manufacturing industry confirmed that in just three years, 28 private enterprises in Zhejiang have entered the vehicle manufacturing industry. What interests the auto industry is that 80% of the private enterprises in Zhejiang who want to independently manufacture whole vehicles are doing auto parts business.
Parts and components are the main body of the whole vehicle. The upgrading of vehicle technology and the reduction of costs all depend on the improvement of the level of parts and components industry. The strong level of vehicle manufacturing must be based on a strong supporting industry cluster of automobiles. Only the overall level of Hunan's auto parts industry can not follow the chain in the promotion of the car without it?
"The wolf is really coming"
There is a direct relationship between the size of parts and components and the output of the vehicle manufacturer. In general, if the output of an entire vehicle company exceeds 100,000 vehicles per year, large parts manufacturers will consider the establishment of a branch in the local area.
According to the plan, both Beiqi Foton and Changfeng Cheetah claim production of 200,000 vehicles. Coupled with the production capacity of the Sanxiang and Sany cars in the United States, the scale of the Hunan automobile industry will be astonishing. However, at present, the sales of the above two plants do not exceed 50,000 vehicles, and local accessory companies naturally have no outsiders. If the 100,000 units are reached, will foreign auto parts giants be involved?
At an auto industry seminar recently held, relevant experts pointed out that while the Chinese auto market is booming, the rate of foreign parts companies entering China is also growing at an unprecedented rate, especially this year, the number of foreign-funded joint-venture parts companies is increasing. It is almost twice as much as last year.
According to statistics, there are currently nearly 500 parts and components companies that foreign investors have invested in China. Most of the world’s leading auto parts companies have established joint ventures or wholly-owned enterprises in China.
In general, most of the enterprises in Hunan auto parts industry currently have small-scale, unstable supporting relationships, low R&D investment, low product development capabilities, low product technology content, low added value, and relatively poor management.
Fortunately, relevant parties in our province are also making non-stop moves to improve the local auto parts industry. For example, Changsha County focuses on industrial parks and establishes automotive industry bases. Xingsha focuses on the production of domestic vehicles and motorcycles. Pear and Jiangbei mainly manufacture passenger vehicles and trucks. Orchards, Huanghua and Gansu are focused on the processing and repair of accessories, and strive to establish the largest in the province and even in the central region. Automobile manufacturing industry base.
