With the integration of Nanjing Iveco's engine business into Shang Fei Hong, SAIC's commercial vehicle power supply package seems to be gradually clear.
“Occursity and ambivalence, the sound of chickens and dogs,†was the scene when Xiao Guopu, Vice President of Shanghai Automotive and General Manager of the Commercial Vehicle Division, came to Chongqing Economic and Technological Development Zone in Huangmaoping four years ago.
Nowadays, two modern factories have been built across the road - SAIC Iveco Hongyan Commercial Vehicle Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Shang Yihong) and SAIC Fiat Powertrain Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Shang Feihong). ).
With the formal launch of the Shanghai Philippine red production base on May 22, SAIC also completed its layout in Chongqing - just one month ago, the Shangyi Red Base, which is opposite to Shangfei Red, has also been officially built. Put into production.
Next, the focus of SAIC may be to make a clearer plan for its commercial vehicle segment.
From Chongqing, Shang Feihong, located in the B07 Block of Huangmaoping, Chongqing Economic Development Zone, was established in June 2007 by SAIC Iveco Commercial Vehicle Investment Co., Ltd. (SI), Fiat Power Technology (FPT), and Chongqing Heavy Vehicle Group. The three-party limited liability company (CHVG) has jointly invested and constructed.
From 2007 to the present, Yang Hanlin, deputy general manager of Shang Fei Hong's Chinese side, spent a full two years here. In the past two years, he said in his words, "The work is very heavy and trivial." While planning and visiting customers have become the most important tasks in his day-to-day work, Yang Qishi has a background in working with both Shanghai Diesel Engine Co. and Hino Motor Co., and he is very familiar with all this.
In his eyes, SFH has a highly automated product assembly line and machining production line, and plans a complete logistics supporting system, as well as modern production lines, office facilities, and humanized management models. It ensures that the FPT-branded engines produced by Shang Fei Hong are exactly the same quality as those produced in Europe. These will lay a solid foundation for the future development of Philippine Red.
He is full of confidence that SFH's product line will be a full range, including CURSOR, NEF, F1C three series, product coverage from 70KW to 294KW, maximum torque from 350Nm to 1600Nm in each series, to meet Power demand for heavy, medium and light commercial vehicles, construction machinery, agricultural machinery, ships and generator sets.
Although Shang Fei Hong is a new engine brand, it differs from independent engine factories in that it has a twin brother born waiting for him to use his engine products.
In March 2009, Shang Feihong's first mass-produced diesel engine, the Cursor9, was fitted on SAIC Iveco's "Jieshi" heavy truck. In addition, on May 12th this year, Chongqing Bus Group, Chongqing Hengtong Bus and Shang Feihong signed a strategic cooperation agreement to jointly develop energy-saving and new energy passenger car products in Chongqing.
However, Shang Feihong's vision is obviously not only in the neighboring Yiyihong and Chongqing public transport markets, but the scale of tens of thousands of units is simply “fed and fedâ€. Shang Feihong’s planned production capacity is 200,000 units per year.
When Shang Feihong’s factory building was still under construction, Yang Hanlin had already traveled south to find a matching main engine plant and achieved breakthroughs. Distribution companies like Hualing, Yutong, and some generators even appeared in the opening ceremony of Shang Fei Hong. At the ceremony. Prior to this, Shang Feihong’s engine was already undergoing a match test at some of the main plants.
SAIC's thinking is that after Shang Feihong completed and put into production, SAIC Motor’s commercial vehicle segment already has Shangchai and Shang Feihong, together with Nanjing Iveco Engine Company and Yuejin Engine Co., Ltd., formerly owned by Nanjing Automobile, SAIC already has four. A diesel engine plant shows that SAIC commercial vehicles are "powerful."
However, according to industry analysis, although SAIC's commercial vehicle segment has been basically integrated into place, SAIC has not yet disclosed the specific division of labor and cooperation of its various sections.
It is reported that Nanjing Iveco's engine business is expected to be incorporated into Shanghai Philippine Red in the future. The Yuejin Engine Plant is different from Shangchai and Shangfei Red because of its main push for light trucks.
In terms of Shangchai, after being acquired by SAIC in 2008, Xiong Weiming, the general manager of SAIC Motor, once pointed out that Shanghai Diesel Engine will gradually shift from the original construction machinery market to the automotive market and construction machinery market. Specifically, in the field of automotive diesel engines, Shanghai Diesel Engine Co., Ltd. will focus on the development of research and development capabilities coordinated with the development of Shanghai Automotive Commercial Vehicles, aiming to form a series of commercial vehicle power platforms with independent intellectual property rights, and strive to build a Shanghai commercial vehicle. In terms of product positioning, Shanghai Diesel Engine Co., Ltd. has also provided competitive products and services to third parties while fully satisfying the development needs of Shanghai Automotive.
As far as automotive diesel engines are concerned, the product line plans of both Shangchai and Shangfeihong are currently full-range diesel products for vehicles. Of course, the first priority is to support SAIC's commercial vehicle systems. However, in terms of technology, the technology of Fiat Power will undoubtedly occupy Excellent, its products are more high-end.
Now, with the integration of Nanjing Iveco's engine business into Shang Fei Hong, SAIC's commercial vehicle power supply ideas seem to be gradually clear. It can be imagined that Shangchai’s hometown is located in SAIC. In addition to supporting construction machinery and making generators, it can be used as an accessory for Shanghai Huizhong within the SAIC commercial vehicle system, as well as for Nanjing Iveco light passengers, Yuejin light trucks and Shenwo.
Shang Fei Hong's full name is SAIC-Fiat Hongyan Powertrain Co., Ltd. Although it only produces engines, it also leaves room for future development.
Shangfei Hong’s product line is mainly mid-to-high end. After satisfying the demand for Yiyin, it mainly meets the market outside the group, and the annual production capacity of Shang Feihong’s planned production reaches 200,000 sets of diesel engine assemblies. There will be 100,000 sets for export.
In fact, in order to expand the external market of the group, Shang Feihong has made in-depth studies on the market positioning and cut in with “high performance and high qualityâ€. It is understood that CURSOR9, the star diesel engine of Shanghai Philippine Red, is a product that is completely based on international standards and is suitable for the Chinese market. The power can be as high as 46HP/L, the external fuel consumption is less than 195g/kWh, and the emission can reach Euro III, Euro IV, and Euro V standards.
At present, Shang Feihong is using the Euro V platform to produce Euro III engines. At present, China's diesel engine market is still at the critical moment of the national III emission upgrade. Shangfei Red is the first company to launch products based on the European V platform. Its leading technology and forward-looking market planning will undoubtedly dominate.
