Government and industry associations join hands to advance the remanufacturing of internal combustion engines

Remanufacturing is a project that usually saves 60% of energy, saves 70% of the material, and costs only 50% of new products. After several years of continuous knowledge popularization and production practices in the industry, the concept of remanufacturing has become deeply rooted. In May 2008, after the National Development and Reform Commission issued the "Administrative Measures for the Remanufacturing of Auto Parts", the engine remanufacturing industry of companies such as Weichai, Yuchai, and CNHTC has achieved substantial substantial progress.

A few days ago, the reporter learned that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the China Internal Combustion Engine Industry Association are working on a demonstration project for the remanufacturing of internal combustion engines, a strategic emerging industry. The reporter interviewed the head of the drafting unit of the promotion guidance on relevant issues, executive vice president and secretary-general Xing Min of China Combustion Engine Industry Association.

Wide range of internal combustion engine remanufacturing projects

Xing Min explained that after discussions with the relevant departments of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the key areas for the remanufactured products of internal combustion engines are to be designated as automotive engines, engineering machinery engines, agricultural machinery engines, marine medium- and high-speed engines, railway diesel locomotive engines, and stationary generator set engines. The main diesel engine. Remanufactured key products include cylinder blocks, cylinder heads, crankshafts, connecting rods, camshafts, cylinder liners, pistons, flywheels, flywheel housings, and generators, starters, oil pumps, fuel pumps, water pumps, and booster products such as internal combustion engines. Key components and parts with higher added value and related process equipment. The goal of the remanufacturing technology line of the internal combustion engine is to realize the formation and agglomeration of the internal combustion engine remanufacturing industry through a series of steps such as planning, design, implementation, improvement, improvement, and scale development. The reporter noticed that in the “Regulations on the Remanufacturing of Auto Parts and Components”, the scope of five major categories of auto parts for pilot re-manufacturing trials has been tentatively planned: engines, transmissions, generators, starters, and steering gears. There are three items in the draft of manufacturing promotion and guidance.

In the draft, the reporter saw the use of cylinder liners and pistons as examples of frictional by-products. The technical route for remanufacturing is to establish an assessment system for remaining life, to develop non-destructive testing technology, and to develop surface repair technology for worn parts of parts. It is to increase the service life of the parts and make the remanufactured machine superior to the original machine performance. The draft introduced that this project can directly save 93% to 96% of raw materials, energy consumption is only 3% to 6% of the original product, labor consumption is 38% to 40% of the original machine manufacturing, production cycle is expected to be new Machine parts manufacturing shortened by 60% to 80%.

Another example is the supercharger remanufacturing project, which can save 88% to 92% of raw materials, energy consumption is only equivalent to 5% to 8% of the original product, labor consumption is 32% to 35% of the original machine manufacturing, production cycle is expected Shorter than the new machine parts manufacturing 65% to 70%. It can be seen that these two projects are quite significant in terms of energy conservation and emission reduction and cost reduction.

Combination of technology and industrialization platform

The key common technologies and equipment for R&D and promotion of internal combustion engine remanufacturing projects are: efficient dismantling of assembly technologies and equipment, high-efficiency green cleaning technologies and equipment, non-destructive testing and life assessment technologies and equipment, remanufacturing processing technologies and equipment, and public The technical service platform, engineering application and industrialization platform support the overall framework of the remanufacturing technology system. The key technologies of the internal combustion engine remanufacturing project include the non-destructive testing technology of remanufactured blanks, the dismantling and classification technology of used parts, the cleaning technology of used parts, the performance improvement technology of parts, the automated remanufacturing technology, and the remanufactured products. Quality inspection technology, reassembly technology, remanufacturing product quality inspection technology, etc.

More important than the technology platform is the issue of industrialization. The reporter noted that the draft clearly identified the idea of ​​reengineering internal combustion engines with industrialization. Xing Min introduced that the supporting system for the development of the internal combustion engine remanufacturing industry should include, in addition to the public technology research and development platforms already mentioned, reverse logistics and old parts recovery systems, environmental management systems, quality assurance systems and quality inspection platforms, and remanufacturing standardization systems. , remanufacturing information platforms and e-commerce. Which is different from the usual industry, reverse logistics is one of the key features of the remanufacturing industry. Reverse logistics not only serves the function of concentrating the old parts of society on remanufacturing enterprises, but it can also collect old information, establish customer records and resource databases, and make quality judgments on old parts and old parts. The daily management of valuations, old part expense reporting, financial payment tracking, old parts identification management, old parts storage and old parts transportation. Through the old part reverse logistics center, it can also promote the socialized outsourcing of remanufacturing business processes, centralized storage and even dismantling, cleaning and recycling of various old parts, and unified disposal of waste and old parts that cannot be remanufactured.

The draft also specifically mentions information platforms and e-commerce platforms. Policy makers have taken note of the use of modern network information technology and e-commerce technologies to establish a platform for remanufacturers, customers and old suppliers to share information on the distribution, recycling, production, service, technology and trade of remanufactured old parts. , E-commerce transactions and re-manufacturing service outsourcing with the help of a web platform.

Policy support for remanufacturing projects

Although the remanufacturing market has broad prospects and already has a fairly good foundation in the internal combustion engine industry, the research on remanufacturing starts late in China and has a short period. There are a number of common key technologies that restrict the development of the remanufacturing industry. Xing Min said that even in the demonstration enterprises of auto parts remanufacturing demonstrations, the methods of dimensional repair and replacement parts repair are still being used. The technical means are relatively backward and the remanufacturing rate is not high.

Restrictions and omissions in remanufacturing policies may be a major problem facing the future development of this industry. For example, there is a general lack of overall consideration for the development of remanufacturing industries, lack of market access mechanisms and evaluation mechanisms, and incomplete remanufacturing standards. In addition, the current state policies still have some resistance to the remanufacturing industry. As stipulated in the current "Administrative Measures for the Retirement of Used Vehicles," the five major assemblies such as the disassembled engine, transmission, front and rear axles, and frame shall be recycled as "scrap metal". In this way, pilot companies cannot recycle used parts and components from retired vehicles for remanufacturing, which objectively limits the scale of the remanufacturing industry.

For another example, due to the current status of China's old parts market, the old parts acquired by remanufacturers from customers are basically unable to obtain value-added input tax invoices, and therefore cannot be deducted, and the relative tax rate is relatively high. Although the social benefits of remanufactured products are far better than those of retreaded tires, the related preferential policies for retreaded tires are not yet applicable, resulting in poor economic returns and low corporate enthusiasm.

Xing Min said that the association and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology have jointly proposed policy recommendations for the development of the internal combustion engine remanufacturing industry, including vigorously implementing industrial pilots, integrating production, learning and research, strengthening technological research and promotion, promoting the industrialization of key equipment production, and promoting producer responsibility. Extend the system, etc.; and will strive for the country’s corresponding support policies on fiscal investment and credit policies, such as tax reductions and deductions for remanufactured enterprises.
