Hollowization, new energy automotive technology fear and hollowing

The gap is also the gap.
In the traditional automotive technology field, the huge gap between the Chinese auto industry and the auto industry is well known. The lack of core technologies in Chinese auto companies has been dubbed "hollowing" by the industry.
In recent years, in order to close the gap as quickly as possible, Chinese auto companies have purchased parts and components of multinational corporations. With the increase in the proportion of foreign brand suppliers, the quality of China's own brand vehicles has significantly improved. At the same time, the opportunities for survival and development of local auto parts companies in China are getting smaller and smaller, and the “hollowing out” of traditional Chinese auto technologies has become increasingly fierce and has become irreversible.
What is more heart-wrenching is that at present, more and more foreign new energy auto parts companies have a strong presence in China, making the new energy auto industry as a strategic emerging industry again facing key spare parts and core technologies “hollowing out”. The tragedy is repeated.

() Leading power: joint ventures, and wholly foreign-owned foreign new energy auto parts companies intensive distribution of China has become a phenomenon.
August 31, US hybrid power system startup ALTePowertrain Technologies announced that it is raising 200 million U.S. dollars to establish a joint venture in China. Earlier, nickel-zinc battery maker PowerGenix announced that Established a joint venture with China City Construction Development Co., Ltd.; Protean Electric of the United States raised 84 million US dollars to build a hub motor production plant in Shenyang, Jiangsu Province.
Looking forward to the future, Japan's Ying Nai Shi Co., Ltd. and the China Automotive Technology and Research Center jointly established Shanghai Carnex New Energy Co., Ltd. to produce a ternary lithium ion battery with a higher energy density than a lithium iron phosphate battery. American battery manufacturer A123 and Shanghai Automotive Co., Ltd. jointly established Shanghai Jiexin Power Battery System Co., Ltd.
The joint venture is the most effective means for multinational corporations to enter China. In the traditional automotive sector, it is a Chinese joint venture company from various countries' auto brands that has achieved the world's largest new car sales market. In the more than 30 years since the reform and opening up to the outside world, the joint venture has become the main theme of the Chinese automobile industry, and it is also a tool for the development of the China Automobile Industry Group. Because of the excessiveness of the joint venture, the loss of the right to speak of the Chinese side gave way to the market, but no technology was exchanged. This has become the culprit in the "hollowing out" of traditional Chinese automotive technology.
In the auto parts sector, more and more multinational companies have chosen to set up factories solely in China due to the lack of restrictions on the number of joint ventures. Sole proprietorship is an upgrade of joint ventures. Sole proprietorship is more terrible than joint ventures.
Nowadays, in the area of ​​new energy auto parts and components, the terrible sole proprietorship has begun. Germany's Phoenix Contact Group is a giant in the field of charge-replacement connectors. It has established several wholly-owned companies in Nanjing, Shanghai and other places in China. It has now become China's highest share of the market for charging connectors.
In addition, traditional auto parts giants such as Bosch and Delphi have already made technical reserves for new energy auto parts and related products are continuously being introduced into their wholly-owned companies in China. For example, the Delphi Automotive Electronics-owned factory in Suzhou has already started production of battery packs for SAIC Roewe.

() Right to enter: The government, to get the government As China's reform and opening up has deepened, foreign companies have become more aware of the socialist market economy with Chinese characteristics and fully understand that all levels of government in China play a very important role in the market economy. character of. Most foreign-funded companies have established government public relations agencies in China, which fully reflects this point.
In the field of new energy auto parts and components, one of the key reasons for foreign companies to drive forward is to benefit from the green light at all levels of government and even to help them. I believe that an important task that foreign-funded enterprises have to join in China to do is to get the government.
Governments in all parts of China have deep ideological views on GDP, and do nothing to attract investment. They are even more eager for foreign investment, especially for large multinational corporations. If it still belongs to a strategic emerging industry encouraged by the government, will the enthusiasm of local governments not expand before they expand? It is believed that as long as foreign companies express their wishes, local governments will come to them and offer various preferential policies, even if they are involved in investment. For example, in the list of financing for the Jiangsu plant in Proteas, we saw "Liyang City, Jiangsu Province, China".
Not only the local government, but also the relevant ministries and commissions of the central government have been set up by multinational corporations to provide them with facilities. At the Hanover Trade Fair in April this year, the head of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China (MIIT) exhibited at the Phoenix booth and expressed the willingness of China and Germany to establish electrical standards. At present, Phoenix has participated in the development of China's electric vehicle standards, including China bus replacement connector standards. Phoenix can enter the Chinese charging market and hold the highest share, which is achieved through cooperation with NARI, a research institute directly under the State Grid.
Standards, which are thresholds, are benchmarks for elimination and survival. It is very important for an industry, especially a new industry. The relevant standards for new energy vehicles in China are controlled by foreign companies and the related parts and components market is also easily monopolized by foreign capital. China's new energy vehicle market, a few more Phoenix, more foreign companies set standards, technology "hollowing" situation is just around the corner.

() Technical rights: plans, whether there are plans Looking at the development trend of the world's auto parts suppliers, modular supply, provide system solutions, is the trend. The ability to provide system solutions has become a concentrated expression of the gap between China's domestic auto parts companies and multinational companies. In the field of new energy auto parts and components, multinational corporations have also resorted to the "killer" of system solutions.
Automotive electronics is the weakest link in China's automotive technology. As the world's electrical supplier, Phoenix can provide total solutions for electrical automation. Phoenix's electric vehicle charging and switching station system solution has been applied to the Qingdao Xuejiadao intelligent electric vehicle replacement and storage and integration demonstration power station project.
Delphi's battery packs and hybrid boxes are integrated with batteries, electronic controls, and other products to provide system solutions for automakers.
When it comes to system solutions, it is easy to think of the "turnkey project" that was so popular. The lack of technology in Chinese auto companies makes it very popular with turnkey projects. However, more and more applications of "turnkey projects" have caused Chinese auto companies to lose control over key technologies and even lost their chances of learning. It can be said that the introduction of more and more systematic solutions by multinational companies in the field of new energy auto parts will induce the “hollowing out” of China's new energy auto industry.
Compared with multinational companies, Chinese auto parts suppliers have not been able to provide overall solutions in the field of new energy auto parts due to their weak research and development capabilities. In fact, most parts and components companies in China are worrying about their survival. They can only concentrate their efforts on traditional auto parts that can immediately generate profits. Even a simple power battery or motor company may not be able to secure sufficient profit because of the slow development of the new energy vehicle market, and it cannot guarantee continuous R&D investment. As a result, the level of product technology cannot be continuously improved. It is reported that the batteries used by electric buses in a domestic passenger car company have been changed from domestic brands to foreign brands.
Without a solution, it was decided that China's new energy auto parts suppliers were at a disadvantage in competition with foreign companies. If China's auto industry management departments have not responded to the plan and let the transnational corporations have a strong layout, local companies have completely retired, and even become the driving force behind multinational corporations. The prediction of the “hollowing” of Chinese new energy auto technologies will soon become a reality.
