New Year's Day is a good day to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, and the opening ceremony of SAIC Volkswagen was held on this day, which also means that the establishment of SAIC Volkswagen will open a new year for China's automobile industry!

After the meeting, everyone's face was filled with a smile from the heart, after so many years of hard work, there was finally a result, that feeling, like the child he raised had finally grown up, and he felt both relieved and an unknown loss.

At this time, most of the people in the conference room had already left, leaving only Li Mingzhe, Zhou Jingming, Luo Yuzhong and Qian Longcheng.

"Two, what is the progress of the localization projects you are responsible for, and can they all be completed before the production line officially starts?" Li Mingzhe looked at Luo Yuzhong and Qian Longcheng and asked.

Because he has been busy with the affairs of the Volkswagen factory during this time, Lee Ming-che has not held a progress report meeting on the localization project for a long time, but all the localization projects, except for the engine and gearbox, which are two long-standing and difficult problems, have been completed.

The Ministry of Machinery Industry means that it hopes that on the day of the opening ceremony of SAIC Volkswagen, it will announce the completion of localization at the same time, and come to a double happiness.

"Director Li, our gearbox localization, has entered the final stage, is expected to be completed by the end of this month, the relevant technology, with the help of the agricultural machinery system brother units, has also been absorbed and digested almost, as long as SAIC Volkswagen this side of the production line, we can provide 100% of the localization of the gearbox for assembly. Qian Longcheng was the first to reply.

It has to be said that Zhou Jingming proposed to let the agricultural machinery system participate in the localization project of Santana, which is simply a win-win situation, the agricultural machinery system took the opportunity to improve its technical level and obtained sufficient financial support, and the automotive system here, not only to speed up the localization progress several times, but also to jump to a new level of its own parts production level.

"Then what do you say from Lao Luo?" Li Mingzhe looked at Luo Yuzhong, the localization of the gearbox has basically been completed, and now only the engine is left.

"In fact, the localization of the engine has reached the final stage, and the relevant core components have also been developed, and with the help of the VR6 engine platform, for the Santana domestic engine, we have specially developed two, one is the same as the original Santana engine, using carburetor injection, and the other is as an optional project, equipped with a single-point EFI, has passed the whole machine test, and can be loaded in two days. ”

Luo Yuzhong said as he spoke, and suddenly sighed.

"Hearing you say this, the localization of engines will soon come to an end, this is something to be happy about, why are you still sighing?" asked Li Mingzhe puzzled.

At the same time, two localized engines were developed, which Li Mingzhe couldn't think of before, but why did Luo Yuzhong still have a sad face?

"Although the development phase is about to be completed, the next production stage has not yet been completed. Speaking of this, Luo Yuzhong couldn't help but sigh again, "At present, none of the domestic engine manufacturers can produce engines that meet the requirements." In other words, although the engine-related technology has been mastered by us, the production line technology cannot keep up. ”

In this case, it is like having rice for cooking, but there is no suitable pot, so you can only stare at it with wide eyes, and you can't eat it, no wonder Luo Yuzhong sighs.

"Is there really no manufacturer in China that can meet the requirements?"

If the localization of the engine ends up stuck in production, then it is really ridiculous and generous.

Luo Yuzhong shook his head, "The electronic injection system, timing gears, spark plugs, these components are okay to say, but you can also find manufacturers that meet the requirements, mainly the engine block, especially the cylinder head and crankcase, because it involves the combustion chamber, with the current level of domestic technology, it is difficult to produce components that meet the requirements. ”

As soon as Luo Yuzhong said this, Li Mingzhe suddenly fell into deep thought, if the production problem is not solved, then the engine will not rely on imports?

"For the localization of the engine, we might as well slow down the pace a little bit and not rush to rely on our own production to meet it. Zhou Jingming, who had not spoken, spoke.

"If we don't complete the localization, the engine still has to rely on imports, why are we wasting so much manpower, material and financial resources to engage in this localization project?" Li Mingzhe didn't understand what Zhou Jingming meant, and couldn't help but ask rhetorically.

"The level of manufacturing technology can not be improved in one or two days, which has a great relationship with the weak industrial base of our country. We can't produce spark plug parts normally now, so let's start with these parts, the engine block and other parts that cannot be produced in China, or rely on imports, and then assemble them in China, so that the foreign exchange we spend, that is, the cylinder head, crankcase, compared with the pure import of the engine, can still save a lot of costs. ”

"Could it be that we will all rely on imports for parts such as cylinder heads and crankcases in the future?" Luo Yuzhong also asked.

Lee Ming-che was heartbroken, "Why don't you buy the engine production line directly from Volkswagen?" Anyway, it's already spent so much money, so you can't get stuck in the engine!"

If we don't concentrate on solving the process problems in production now, this problem will only get bigger and bigger in the future.

"Of course not. Zhou Jingming smiled and shook his head, "But I don't agree with what Director Li said, directly spend money to buy the production line, not to mention whether the public is willing to sell the production line to us, even if we really agree, the public will definitely take the opportunity to ask for a price, for us, this is not the best plan." ”

Li Mingzhe didn't say anything more, of course he knew the disadvantages of buying the production line directly, but there was no way to do it!

"Director Li, you should know that I have reached a cooperation agreement with Bosch on the project of direct injection in the cylinder, right?" Zhou Jingming asked with a smile.

Li Mingzhe nodded, Bosch has already issued an announcement on this matter, and few people in the domestic automotive industry do not know.

However, Zhou Jingming asked this, is it related to the localization of Santana engines?

"On the contract I signed with Bosch, there is such a clause, that is, if the direct injection in the cylinder reaches the standard of mass production, Bosch will build an engine production line for me for free, if the domestic engine is really unable to meet the production requirements in China, I can negotiate with Bosch again to see if I can provide me with the engine production line technology in advance. ”

Zhou Jingming's next words immediately made Li Mingzhe and Luo Yuzhong's eyes light up.
