The "Anting Index" expert group walked into the engine division to explore the secret of its eternal youth.

What makes the FAW Jiefang Engine Division (hereinafter referred to as the “Engine Division”) with a history of 75 years of history always remain youthful? The answer is the unremitting pursuit of the spirit of innovation.

Recently, the Automotive Evaluation Institute organized the expert group of China Automotive Enterprise Innovation "Anting Index", and brought experts, scholars and authoritative media in the automotive industry into the engine business department, summed up its innovation achievements, tapped its innovation experience, and explored the engine division. As the leader of China's internal combustion engine industry, the first research and development strength.

The expert group visited the Huishan Base of the Engine Division, the Prospective Technology Research Institute and the Tangnan Base. The expert group visited the Huishan Base of the Engine Division, the Prospective Technology Research Institute and the Tangnan Base.

The history of the engine division dates back to 1943, when the cradle of China's national industry and township industry, the birthplace of the Sunan model, Wuxi, the predecessor of the engine division, the central agricultural implement experimental factory opened by the Wang Pup government. Started production. After 75 years of hard work, the engine division has now achieved a great leap from “following the times” to “leading the times”. It not only provides a high-end power for the rise of China's auto industry, but also continues to upgrade with industrialization. Industry 4.0 has become a model for China's internal combustion engine industry.

Self-examination: follow-up companies have no way out

As the oldest internal combustion engine company in China, the history of the engine division can be said to be the evolutionary history of the Chinese internal combustion engine industry. Assistant Director of the FAW Liberation Business Division, Assistant General Manager of the Liberation Company, General Manager of the Engine Division, and Party Secretary Qian Hengrong divided the development of the Engine Division into four phases, called four ventures.

The first venture was from the establishment of the company to 1992, and Qian Hengrong called this stage the stage of “products and talents”. This period not only laid a deep technical foundation for the engine business department, but also produced a number of industry-leading quality products, and sent a large number of talents to the country. The products expanded from a single agricultural field to industrial, agricultural, marine, geological drilling. The fields of national defense and other fields have become the backbone of the gap in China's national engine industry.

The second venture started in 1992. With the country's reform and opening up and rapid economic development, the planned economy is no longer applicable. The engine division chose to join China FAW Group and officially entered the automotive industry and began the innovation of automotive power technology. In the nearly 10 years from 1992 to 2000, the engine division achieved a complete transformation towards marketization, which is also the fastest-growing stage of the engine division.

During the period from 2001 to 2010, it was the third start-up period of the engine division. It achieved product serialization development, and achieved full coverage for light, medium and heavy vehicles. It has a positive development capability and an average annual growth rate of enterprise revenue. More than 30%. In 2003, the engine division developed the CA6DL heavy-duty diesel engine with independent intellectual property rights, which shortened the gap between China's diesel engine and the world's leading level. By 2010, the engine division achieved an annual production and sales of 300,000 units, and successfully entered the scale of 10 billion.

Looking back at the first three ventures of the Engine Division, Qian Hengrong said that although the company has achieved a series of brilliant achievements in different historical periods, it has created many industry firsts, especially after entering the new century, it has taken the lead in the country. The product design capability is being developed, but due to factors such as the limitation of technological innovation capability, the enterprise development does not form a differentiated competitive advantage, and is generally in a state of following development.

Recognizing the shortcomings of its own development, the engine division has pointed out that the development of the European and American automobile industry has concluded that there is no way for follow-up development, and that the leading enterprise development has more advantages, and the engine division must take the lead.

Strategic turning point: promoting technological innovation in all directions

Recognizing its own shortcomings, the next step of the engine division is to change the original strategy and promote technological innovation in all aspects. After more than a decade of development, a series of results have been achieved.

On the day of the event, the “Anting Index” expert group visited the Prospective Research Institute to gain an in-depth understanding of the technical achievements and innovative initiatives of the Engine Division.

It is understood that today's forward-looking technology research institute has grown from a single oil pump nozzle research institute to a "cradle" that nurtures the key technologies of domestic automobile engines: not only the national oil pump nozzle quality supervision and inspection center, but also the national internal combustion engine and oil pump nozzle approval laboratory. The Ministry of Environmental Protection has newly produced motor vehicle emission pollution detection agencies and the location of the National Fuel Injection System Standardization Technical Committee. The institute brings together domestic first-class automobile engine and electronic control experts to overcome the world-class problem of electronically controlled common rail system, making China the fourth country to master this technology after Germany, the United States and Japan. The institute has already possessed technical reserves in CAE simulation calculation and engine pre-engineering design research, and made breakthroughs in research on SCR urea crystallization risk prediction, reaction controllable advanced combustion technology, and development of common-track diesel engine Euro VI post-processing calculation model. In engine intake and exhaust systems, valve trains, supercharged intercooler, combustion system matching, alternative fuels, exhaust gas recirculation, exhaust aftertreatment, emission control technology, vibration and noise, simulation calculations, engine thermal load and structural strength stiffness calculation applications And the design, manufacture, matching, calibration and other aspects of electronically controlled fuel injection systems are at the domestic leading level.

The expert group also visited the largest and most comprehensive spray research laboratory in the country. It has a high injection pressure fuel system of 2,500 atmospheres and introduces advanced laser measurement methods to achieve full-scale measurement of spray shape, velocity, particle size and concentration to ensure efficient and fuel-efficient engine.

In the afternoon symposium, Wang Xintao, the chief appraiser from Beijing North Asia Assets Appraisal Office, announced the brand value of the latest “ Xichai ” brand – 15.159 billion yuan, from 7.19 billion yuan in 2006 to 10.229 billion in 2013. By 2015.15 billion yuan in 2018, the brand value of "Xichai" achieved triple jump, and the core driving force was innovation. This was highly recognized by the expert group of China Automotive Enterprise Innovation "Anting Index".

Qian Hengrong said that the engine division pioneered five major mechanisms for technological innovation including decision-making mechanism, operation mechanism, development mechanism, dynamic mechanism and evaluation mechanism. Among them, the decision-making mechanism allows the engine division to determine the direction and project of future innovation; the operation mechanism improves the cooperation between the internal research and development and external technology in the enterprise innovation process for the engine division; the development mechanism guarantees the talents, funds and equipment of the engine division. Reserves; the power mechanism has stimulated the innovation enthusiasm of the engine division employees; the assessment mechanism is mainly responsible for the evaluation of the project and the mechanism itself to ensure the continuous optimization of the project. In addition to the establishment and operation of the five innovation mechanisms, the Engine Division has also established an innovative management model for the two-track system. As long as the project meets one of the three requirements of “the world's first initiative, which brings more than 10 million profits to the company and meets the future development direction of the company”, employees can apply for bonus research, regardless of the success or failure of the project. No, employees will receive bonus incentives. Through this series of innovative measures, the engine business unit is at the fourth level of entrepreneurship, carrying out an unprecedented strategic transformation, from the perspective of theoretical innovation, starting from 2011, using technology to follow the technology for 15 years. Transformation: from learning enterprises to innovative enterprises; the transformation of product marketing to brand marketing and the “four major changes” from content management to lean management.

The transition from followers to leaders can't be done overnight, and it takes long-term, arduous efforts. According to Qian Hengrong, in order to intensify innovation, the engine division has an investment of 400-500 million yuan each year in innovation projects, accounting for 3%-5% of sales revenue. Today, after years of development, the Engine Division has achieved individual leadership. For example, the Xichai brand engine has an average fuel economy of 3%-5% than the competing products of the same displacement; it is the first in the industry to achieve an engine and gearbox, axle and bridge 100,000 km long oil change cycle; the industry is the first to achieve 2 million There is no overhaul in the kilometer, and the first one implements 36-month unlimited mileage and three packs.

A new departure: to create a green and efficient intelligent power system

Speaking of the future, Guan Xin, dean of the Automotive Research Institute of Jilin University, Changjiang Scholar and Distinguished Professor Guan Xin believes that the engine business unit should not only become a national brand, but also become a world brand, and must have confidence to truly build the engine business unit into an international supplier. Dare to challenge foreign companies.

Then, as the core department of liberation, how does the engine business unit go in the future? What is the future planning?

Qian Hengrong said, first of all, we must make an adjustment to the positioning of the entire engine business unit. "We originally provided high-end power for national brands for the market. The next step is to provide domestic leading, world-class green high-efficiency intelligent power system solution. The program ', this is to adapt to the development of new energy in the future."

Second, we must strengthen the R&D business layout and continue to enhance our innovation capabilities. "We have to do three things: First, the product is expanded to new energy. The annual investment in innovation accounts for not less than 4.8% (more than 700 million yuan); second, the number of R&D personnel is increased to 1,200, and the leading talents are more than 5%. The core backbone personnel have reached more than 15%; the third is to establish R&D institutions in Europe in a timely manner, forming a R&D layout for the five countries of the two countries,” Qian Hengrong said.

Qian Hengrong also announced two other future plans for the Engine Division: “One is the future technical plan. The technical plan for the next 5-10 years is formulated, and the application is determined according to the maturity and urgency of the technology. In principle, the market matures. Low level, core key technologies must be in their own hands. Encourage partners to apply the latest technology to our products first; second is the future power planning. In the traditional power, to create the most fuel-efficient, reliable, most environmentally friendly ' Focusing on the three most engines. In the new energy power, we will strengthen research on new energy sources such as fuel cells and hybrids, and integrate global resources for me. Combining the advantages of the engine division to create a green, efficient and intelligent combination."
