Weichai also need to build a car?

"Building a car" seems to be the ultimate dream of many colleagues in the automotive industry. From Jianghuai and Futian to Dajinlong, they couldn’t stop, and now even Weichai has begun to eagerly try.

A few days ago, the reporter learned from a supplier of parts and components of Weichai that Weichai must try to build a sedan.

According to the reporter's search, Weichai's recent move is still centered on "making Weichai Power the world's largest general-purpose engine manufacturer, providing high-power power support for heavy-duty vehicles, passenger cars, construction machinery, marine and power generation industries, and breaking domestic independence. The ambitious goal of “engine engine manufacturers' difficulties to become atmospheric” has not directly involved in any car-related product production and business contacts.

But there is one big thing that catches the eye. Based on the "Shandong Provincial Automobile Industry Adjustment and Revitalization Plan" issued by Shandong Province in March, on May 7, the minutes of the government meeting agreed in principle to jointly reorganize Weichai Power, Shandong Automobile Group and Shandong Construction Machinery Group until June 18th. The “Shandong Heavy Industry Group” formed by the three companies was formally established. This is a major move by Shandong Province to create a 100 billion auto parts industry group and integrate the industrial chain.

According to informed sources, although Shandong Heavy Industry Group appears to be a joint venture of three parallel companies, Weichai Holdings has outstanding strength among the three companies and will become the leader of this restructuring. In fact, the chairman and party secretary of Shandong Heavy Industry Group is Tan Xuguang.

So, will Weichai use the resources it integrates to make cars?

When the reporter was connected to the Shandong Automobile Industry Association, related personnel stated that "there is no such thing as heard of at present."

As a customer valued by Weichai, Fukuda is not satisfied with the news of making cars from Weichai. As Fukuda is also entering the car industry, it has long been a matter of calm: Fukuda entered the car in an orderly manner, in fact, when the car is not too late to enter. When the time is ripe, it is not surprising that parts and components companies enter the car.

Compared with Futian’s attitude, WeiChai’s strong opponent, Yuchai, was rather surprised. "In the entire system of production, supply and sales, cars and commercial vehicles are completely different. It is not an easy task to build cars in Weichai," said Cai Xiaohong, deputy director of the Yuchai Technology Center, to the reporter. "Unless it is built diesel cars. But the entire diesel market is currently very bad, diesel cars in China can not be compared with Europe and the United States."

In fact, Yuchai has a lot of say in this area. Because three years ago, Yuchai was clearly indicated in the industrial planning of Guangxi Province for the production of diesel passenger cars, but it was later not achieved because of various reasons. However, the planning for making a diesel passenger car has been implemented and continues to this day. Moreover, the reporter found that the backgrounds of the Weichai and Yuchai rigs were all related to the restructuring of provincial enterprises and industrial planning.

"As a Weichai specializing in the production of medium- and heavy-duty diesel engines, the production of sedan engines requires a complete set-up of the production line. Even so, the most difficult thing for the production of sedan engines is to enter other car accessory systems, because now most auto companies have started producing their own engines. "Tsai Xiaohong said," Unless it is self-sufficient."

Although Weichai was accustomed to keeping distance with the media, in the end the reporter turned around to interview an engineer at Weichai Technology Center. "At present, Weichai has not yet made a specific plan for building a sedan, but it may integrate an associated factory, and perhaps try to use it as a basis." He did not answer the specific factory and progress status. However, he expressed his agreement that this factory came from Shandong Heavy Industries.

The car made by Weichai sounds like "crazy," but it's not crazy. After Weichai absorbed and merged the Hunan Torch in 2007, Tan Xuguang possessed the most complete heavy-duty card industry chain from engines, transmissions, axles, and vehicles. He made a reversed acquisition feat from the bottom up and controlled the entire The most profitable link in the industry chain. The reorganization of the Shandong auto industry chain only provided Tan Xuguang with “Greater Weichai” plan with more opportunities and shorter time.

People without thought, he must worry about. Weichai may also want to seek a breakthrough. "The single product and lack of diversification have made Weichai unrelentingly helpless to the market in this crisis, and Yuchai and Xichai have continuously eroded market share, and heavy-duty truck EGR has caused a fatal blow to Weichai." An insider said. From this perspective, it is also wise to use existing resources to enter the rigid car industry.

"Although the vehicle plan is uncertain, it has already established the direction for the production of sedan engines." The above Weichai engineers finally revealed to reporters.
