Wuhan's first automotive core component plant construction

The Wuhan Economic and Technological Development Zone, which has built six, is under construction, and has gathered seven major vehicle manufacturers, has finally ushered in the establishment of the automobile core component plant. On October 23, the establishment and foundation laying ceremony of the East Style Traktor Transmission Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Eastern Trak”) was held in the district, which was also the first automobile core component project introduced by Wuhan City.

Dongfeng Powertrain Construction Substantially Breakthrough

On October 22 last year, Dongfeng Motor Group Co., Ltd. and GETRAG International Co., Ltd. of Germany signed a joint venture agreement and a joint agreement for the development of the Low Torque Double Clutch Transmission (DCT), and decided to set up a joint research and development and manufacturing of automotive transmissions in Han. , sales function as one of the East style Traktor Transmission Co., Ltd.

Zhu Fushou, General Manager of Dongfeng Group, said at the groundbreaking ceremony that the establishment of the joint venture company marked a substantial move in the construction of Dongfeng Powertrain. It is also important for Dongfeng to gather global resources, speed up the construction of independent powertrain, and cultivate independent innovation capabilities. Initiatives.

It is reported that the total investment in the first phase of the plant is 120 million euros, and the annual production capacity of a 250,000 gearboxes will be designed. It is estimated that the first quarter of 2016 will be completed and put into production, and will eventually be built to an annual output of 1 million units of transmission.

Complete the short board to improve the industrial chain

This is good news for the Wuhan Economic and Technological Development Zone, which is currently not equipped with automotive core components, and even Wuhan City. Heavy trucks and light parts are almost the "common problem" of the entire Chinese automobile industry.

In 2011, the China Automotive Engineering Research Institute released a report saying that core components such as engines and gasoline turbochargers are almost exclusively monopolized by international brands.

At present, Wuhan Development Zone has more than 200 auto parts companies, ranking among the top 20 auto parts suppliers in the world, and half of them have investment in Wuhan Development Zone, but there are almost no auto parts and components. While this project breaks this vicious circle, it also further perfects the automotive industry chain.

At the foundation laying ceremony, Zhu Yi, member of the Standing Committee of the Wuhan Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Wuhan Development Zone Working Committee, said that the East-style Trak is an important measure to cultivate first-rate independent innovation capabilities, and will further enhance the R&D and production capabilities of the core automotive parts and components in the region. Assisted the development zone to speed up the implementation of the industrial doubling plan.

According to Wuhan City’s recent announcement of the "Industrial Plan for the Construction of Wuhan's Key Industrial Chains", it is clearly stated that in the next three years, it will focus on building the top ten industrial chains represented by auto parts. By 2016, the output value of auto parts will exceed 200 billion yuan. .
