China's auto parts industry bigger and stronger, thereby participating in international competition, increase investment in research and development and independent innovation has become imperative.

I recently held a session of the 63rd National Auto Parts Fair understand that in 2007 China's auto parts and vehicle exports reached 23.8 billion U.S. dollars. At present, China's basic formation of the northeast, Beijing and Tianjin, Central China, Southwest China, the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta and other parts of six major industrial regions, formed a comprehensive domestic car plants for supporting the supply system. FAW, SAIC and Dongfeng, respectively the establishment of Austrian auto parts company, Shanghai Automotive Component Group, Dongfeng Auto Parts Division.

China Automotive Parts Industry (Group) Company Tian Ya-mei that, at present, China's auto parts enterprises are from a capacity-building to building brands shift from the introduction to digest changes to the independent development, as well as from the domestic market to domestic and international market changes.

In recent years, parts giant transnational investment in China there have been three changes: from holding shares to shift from wholly-owned joint venture to shift from possession to monopolize the market changes in the market. Foreign-funded enterprises in China's auto parts industry gradually occupy the leading position, to the survival of local parts and components enterprises, the development of considerable challenge.

Experts believe that lack of investment in research and development, independent innovation ability of poor, is China's auto parts enterprises are facing one of the main issues. According to foreign enterprises in general statistics, the average investment in the industrial parts and components for the car companies should be 1.2 to 1.5 times, while the current situation in China is less than 0.3, significantly lower than the international average. In developed countries, auto parts enterprises have been leading the research and development capabilities in the vehicle enterprises, the development of a new car, 70 percent of the intellectual property of auto parts enterprises, and parts of the vast majority of enterprises do not have product development, product Rely mainly on the development of Zhuji Chang, can hardly meet the requirements of vehicle replacement.

China Automobile Industry Association Dong Jianping, deputy secretary general believes that all these years, China's auto parts enterprises do not have full focus on innovation, and encountered many bottlenecks. For example, the imminent implementation of China's commercial vehicle emission standards ¢ó, involving a diesel common rail technology, and our main engine is used in high-pressure plunger pumps. To achieve the ¢ó standards, use of traditional technology is impossible, we must achieve from mechanical to the electronic control technology leap, if not innovation, not breakthrough could be eliminated. At present, many foreign companies in China set up a wholly-owned technology center. In these places, we do not grasp the core technologies, only master some of the technology. If we not to engage in independent innovation, we will be increasingly marginalized. Marginalization of not only production, technical and technological research and development has become more marginalized.

Dong Jianping, in China, bought the technology era has passed, the Chinese auto parts industry bigger and stronger is the key to independent innovation.

Experts suggested that to adapt to the development of synchronous motor vehicles and parts and systems development requirements, auto parts enterprises, we must increase capital investment in product development, improve the capacity of independent innovation components, the technology at the core, to play their own advantages and strive to form groups Large-scale and specialization.
