Connecting rods are vital components of internal combustion engines, including Mitsubishi engines. It connects the piston to the crankshaft and is responsible for converting the reciprocating motion of the piston into the rotational motion of the crankshaft. Mitsubishi connecting rods are typically made from high-strength steel or forged aluminum alloys to withstand the high stresses and temperatures generated by the engine. They are designed to be lightweight yet durable, ensuring efficient engine performance and service life.

At the end of last year, with the listing of China Heavy Duty Truck HOWOA7 heavy trucks loaded with smart automated manual 16-speed electronically controlled transmissions (AMTs), automatic transmissions once again attracted attention in the domestic automotive industry. Faced with the trend of automatic transmission deployment that is generally promoted in the world, what is the work of related industries in China? During the recent "Automatic Automatic Transmission Assembly Innovation Alliance Symposium", the reporter interviewed Wang Shengtang, executive vice president and secretary general of China Gear Professional Association.
New alliances fixed in the form of contracts
From 2004 to now, the "Automatic Automatic Transmission Assembly Innovation Alliance" led by the China Gear Professional Association has been in operation for five years. During this period, China's own brand enterprises have successively completed several automatic transmissions such as AT, AMT and CVT. The industrialization preparation process. After many arguments, the operational direction and structure of the "consortium" have been clarified, and formal operations are only subject to the approval of the relevant management departments.
“The alliance supports diversity from the technical line, and advocates that everything comes from the market and from the practice, and it does not impose hard rules.†Wang Shengtang explained to reporters. “This is because our existing data is not enough to support which technical route is fully supported. It is our own automatic transmission products that do not have such a large output. Second, our company does not have so much practical experience."
“Alliance†will focus on the four types of AMT, CVT, 6-8AT, and DCT shifting assembly products that are commonly used in the world, and will support 8 types of key components and key CNC equipment to form its own brand of automatic transmission assembly. Industry chain. “The scale of 10 billion yuan will be formed in 3 years and the scale of 30 billion yuan will be formed in 5 years to meet the matching demand of self-owned brand automobiles and promote industrial upgrading.†This is the content that has been written in the “Alliance†agreement (draft).
Looking at such an exciting plan, reporters can not help but worry: "Union" in the independent brand companies can compete with foreign technology mature multinational companies do?
“First, as the development team of automatic transmissions, the backbone enterprises in the industry should say that most of them have come. The 20 companies that have made achievements in the development of automatic transmissions are all in the “Allianceâ€; second, they are engaged in the basics of automatic transmission products. Universities and well-known experts in technical research, including research institutes, have also come in. Third, famous intermediary service agencies, such as the China Automobile Industry Association’s expert committee, the China Automotive Technology and Research Center, and several important research institutes, These representatives and representatives of industry, universities, and research institutes are all in the 'Alliance.' That is to say, people and units that have contributed to the automatic transmission technology have basically come in." Wang Shengtang's answer makes the reporter's doubts. Dispelled half.
However, the reporter's greater doubt is that taking a look at the "alliances" of several automotive industries that have appeared in the country, they have not yet achieved satisfactory results. The rational allocation of economic rights and interests is even more of a top priority for many related companies. In this regard, will the automatic shift “Alliance†follow the footsteps of others?
“The alliance we have established is a new mechanism in our country. The key to the establishment is to record the common interests of participating parties through the contract. Next we may have to do a lot of work, but the basic operation The idea has been drawn up in this draft agreement. The basic guiding ideology of the draft———taking the enterprise as the main body, the product as the leading factor, and the market as the orientation, is consistent with the country’s relevant industrial policies.†The reporter’s doubts have disappeared further.
Cut out a market under the control of foreigners
“Our fundamental difference with it is that it is under the sole proprietorship of BorgWarner, which unites 10 companies in our country, because these domestic companies can therefore purchase more advanced products.†Speaking of last year’s establishment “ The difference of China United Development, Wang Shengtang said, "I think their alliance is undoubtedly the most favorable to BorgWarner, because it was already sold when it was built, and 10 domestic companies not only failed to take away its technology. Confidentiality, it also maintains a monopoly on the market, and Chinese companies also paid him advance money (shares) in advance. Is it possible that these companies do not buy its products?â€
"By forming a team with the 'Union' to produce China's own products, we can cut a market under the control of the foreign market and try to make China's own brand not die. This is our goal for 3 to 5 years." Wang Shengtang has repeatedly talked about the “terrorist†in the automatic transmission industry. At this point, the reporter also had a more profound experience. In connection with this, "The market share of the autonomous brand automatic transmission has reached more than 24%, and the market coverage has exceeded 95%, which has driven the structural adjustment and industrial upgrading of the transmission assembly industry." It seems that the goal is not ambitious. But if it can be said, we do not have to watch the foreign giants or even the "linked" people's eyes to act.
The reporter noticed in the draft that there are a few words that say - 3 million years after the formation of 1 million units, 5 million years after the formation of 3 million production capacity, annual sales income of 30 billion yuan, profits and taxes nearly 6 billion yuan of industry Scale; Each year can save about 3 billion liters of fuel for the country, reduce carbon dioxide emissions of about 7.2 million tons; can directly increase employment of about 87,500 people, bring about 100 billion yuan / year of added value to the upstream and downstream industries, driving upstream and downstream About 500,000 people are newly employed in the industry. Think about it, compared to the current scale of China's auto production and sales of 10 million vehicles, this goal is fairly relevant. If it can really be achieved, the Chinese automatic transmission industry will no longer just want to cut a quarter of the "cake."
