From January to May 2009, international engine purchases in China are gradually warming up

Since April, under the leadership of a number of national rescue policies, the highest record of China's automobile production and sales has been refreshed once again, and both production and sales have exceeded 1.15 million. China has surpassed the United States as the world’s largest automotive market for four consecutive months. With the rapid growth of the automotive market, it also drove the rapid growth of the domestic automotive engine market. In April, the engine market recorded another record-breaking growth on the basis of March. In April, the engine’s production and sales volume in a single month Breaking through 1 million units respectively, sales volume was higher than output, and sales exceeded 1.1 million units.

January-April 2009 Automotive Engine Production and Exports Warmer

According to statistical analysis by authoritative departments, from January to April 2009, China produced a total of 3,492,036 engines, of which 10,74017 engines were produced in April, an increase of 2.81% from the previous month; in January-April, a total of 664,400 engines were exported, of which, 4 The monthly engine export volume increased rapidly, and the export volume was 232,800 units, an increase of 44.39% over the previous period. Major exporting countries: the United States, Japan, Vietnam, South Korea, Canada, Pakistan, Germany, Italy, United Arab Emirates, Thailand, etc.

As of the end of March 2009, among a total of 55 engine companies, Guangxi Yuchai, Chongqing Chang'an, Liuzhou Wuling Liuji, FAW-Volkswagen, Beijing Hyundai, Chery, FAW Group, Harbin Dongan Automobile Engine, Anhui Quanchai, Harbin Dongan Automobile Power , Kunming Yunnei, Dongfeng Nissan Passenger Vehicle, Shanghai GM Powertrain, Shanghai Volkswagen Automotive and Dongfeng Honda Engine ranked among the top 15 in terms of cumulative production volume in the first quarter.

International Buyers Clearance of China's Engine Purchase Trends

Gasgoo.com statistics show that since the beginning of February, purchases of engines and parts for buyers from China have gradually increased. From January to May of 2009, overseas buyers purchased engines and their parts and components through the Gasgoo.com platform to China for 238 frequency, which was twice as much as 132 frequency for the same period of last year. The reason was mainly affected by the financial crisis in 2008. The buyers experienced a large period of adjustment. Normal production began to recover in the second quarter of this year, and purchases entered the normal track.

In particular, with the completion of the integration of the global automotive industry, a new round of procurement in China is already in the pipeline, and automotive engine products have always been popular products for China's procurement. It can be optimistically estimated that if the engine market can maintain good performance in April. With the development trend, I believe that by the end of 2009 China's engine exports will be delivered with a satisfactory answer sheet.

Small engines or the main force for energy saving and emission reduction in the next few years

In January 2009, in order to encourage and support the development of the automotive industry, the State Council issued a plan for the revitalization of the automotive industry that proposed a reduction of 5% on vehicles with a 1.6-liter or less displacement passenger car tax, which injects a vehicle purchase tax into the automobile market. The agent "intensity". The sales volume of small-displacement cars has increased significantly. In terms of engine displacement, models with a displacement of less than or equal to 1.0 liters and 1.0-1.6 liters will benefit significantly from the increase of 26.52% and 20.78%, respectively, while the displacement is between 4.0 liters and 3.0-4.0 liters. The models were the most affected, falling by 93.68% and 60.49% respectively.

If the country’s policy of “purchasing vehicle purchase tax for 5% of passenger vehicles with a displacement of less than or equal to 5% of displacement” can be implemented in 2010 or later, it can further promote the development and expansion of the energy-saving and emission reduction route of miniaturized engines in China. It has become the most important energy-saving and emission reduction route before other routes (such as pure electric vehicles) have not yet been commercialized on a large scale.

The R&D of small-displacement engines of 1.6 and below also attracted the attention of major OEMs. It is reported that the "2009 Auto Engine and Parts Special Matching Matching Meeting and Engine Technology Seminar" sponsored by Gasgoo.com will be held in Shanghai on June 30th. The seminar will focus on the new requirements and development of small gasoline engine manufacturing processes. Trends, foreign advanced engine design and development technology, the latest key technologies (GDI, TSI), lightweight technology - all aluminum engine manufacturing process technology, development and innovation of stability and assurance of stability of core component technology are discussed.

The procurement matchmaking and technical seminars can be regarded as an important representation of the domestic engine market revitalization and exuberant heat in 2009. All parties showed extraordinary enthusiasm for participation. The haze of the sluggish market in the past half year is gradually dissipating. At present, more than 40 domestic and foreign OEMs and engine assembly purchasers have participated in the conference, and more than 60 domestic high-quality engine and component suppliers have enthusiastically signed up.
