Chapter 722 The shirtless Aisin Seiko

If we talk about the development of domestic independent enterprises in the field of transmissions in the past life, when there was no Huayang Power, it can be said to be a history of blood and tears.

When several private enterprises began to enter the automobile manufacturing field, engines were easy to deal with. At worst, they could buy them from several engine factories in the north that were authorized by Japanese companies. However, in the field of transmissions, we have been stuck with these foreign manufacturers.

Hold your neck.

Needless to say about automatic transmissions, only Aisin Seiko is willing to provide us with hydraulic automatic transmissions, and they will only sell you the most backward 4at automatic transmission.

Moreover, the 4at automatic transmission sold to you is not just sold to you casually, but also has some very stringent conditions attached. For example, it can be sold to you, but you have to use the engine made by our Japanese manufacturer, and there is no need to mention the engine.

Yes, they are all engines that are an era behind the current automobile market.

Even if several independent companies have developed engines that are better than those of Japanese manufacturers, you still won't be able to use them if your transmission is not in place.

And this creates a market problem, that is, domestic independent brands want to be aggressive and strive to expand into the middle and lower reaches of the automobile market. However, if you have a suitable engine, you do not have a matching automatic transmission.

Just like catching someone blind. /

Because in the automobile market, automatic transmission has always been a benchmark for consumers to measure whether your car meets the mid-range brand.

This has also caused the dilemma that these domestic independent brands have been restricted to the low-end market. Even after Liji acquired Australia's DSI and claimed to be able to produce 6at automatic transmissions, the problem was still unable to be solved.

The reason is very simple. The quality of our domestically produced transmission parts is not good, which in turn involves problems with our metallurgical process. There are also problems with finishing. This has put domestic independent brands into a situation where they are unable to improve and want to improve.

The dilemma of not being able to get down again.

A small transmission is not a problem at Huayang Power. This is because they have sufficient supporting special metal smelting centers, gear finishing centers that can compete with large foreign automobile manufacturers, and even a specialized electronics

Supporting center. However, other state-owned independent brands do not have such conditions.

At this time in my last life, let alone automatic transmissions, even manual transmissions, these domestic companies still couldn’t figure it out!

Their self-produced manual transmissions were used in their cars. After being launched on the market, consumers only encountered a series of problems such as slow shifting, difficult gears, high fuel consumption, short service life, etc.

Not to mention the driving pleasure of a manual transmission, even trying to change gears smoothly is laborious. How can you make consumers have a good impression of your product?

In this life, after the emergence of Huayang Power, with their support, the technology and R&D capabilities of domestic independent brands were suddenly upgraded to a higher level.

The rod bearings and gears of their manual transmissions are all provided by Huayang Seiko, and the synchronizers that most affect the manual gear shifting experience are also provided by Huayang Seiko. In this way, these state-owned independent

The driving experience of the brand's models has immediately been upgraded to a higher level.

In terms of automatic transmissions, Huayang Power is also very generous. In the current world automobile market, Huayang Power has the high-end technology that represents mid-level car transmissions, namely the second-generation 6at transmission and dual-clutch transmission.

, but they have put these technologies into their mid-level cars.

But these days, 4at transmissions and 5at transmissions are not outdated. Even in many low-end mid-range cars, this technology is also used, and in the original world, even in 1978

Later, this kind of technology was also used...,

Therefore, as a principle of technology decentralization, Jin Xiaoqiang agreed with Huayang Precision to provide technical support to several domestic independent brands with the 4at technology that they had eliminated previously.

The so-called technical support, of course, is the strategy of providing unlimited quantities of parts without any additional conditions.

And to be honest these days, there is nothing to hide about the design of the 4at hydraulic transmission. Everyone knows how this transmission is designed, but when it comes to production, not many companies can do it.

For hydraulic automatic transmissions, the most critical component is the hydraulic torque converter. Domestic research and development in the field of hydraulics is really not good, but the main fundamental reason is that our material science is not good, and there are

Our finishing capabilities are not good enough.

We cannot produce some of the oil pipes inside the hydraulic torque converter and the turbofan inside the hydraulic torque converter, but these are not problems for Huayang Power.

So even though these domestic manufacturers know how to produce this hydraulic automatic transmission, they just can't do it. The main reason is that they don't have the equivalent technical capabilities.

Otherwise, if China, a world-famous country with technological copycats, had such technical capabilities, I am afraid that domestically produced models would already be full of automatic transmissions.

The purpose of these companies coming to Jin Xiaoqiang this time is very simple, which is to ensure that Huayang Power can further open up in the field of transmission technology.

The Koreans have already introduced 5at or even 6at on some of their models. Such technological upgrades immediately caused an uproar in the field of low-end cars.

You must know that consumers in the low-end car field are particularly sensitive to price, but many consumers in this field are also very sensitive to technology.

Now, due to the emergence of Huayang Power, the halo that shrouded joint venture cars and foreign-owned cars has gradually receded, and domestic consumers have begun to gradually become more mature and rational.

While everyone is paying attention to the price of the car, they are also paying attention to the technical updates of the car.

The 5at and 6at automatic transmissions have indescribable technical advantages over 4at in terms of fuel economy. Low-end car consumers who are already nervous about their wallets are now seeing a heavy blow from Korean brands.

, of course they will make their choice.

Moreover, the 5at and 6at automatic transmissions sound much better than the ancient 4at automatic transmission.

As a result, although these independent brands achieved good sales performance in the first half of the year, they also felt strong pressure when facing the sales situation in the second half of the year.

The morale that everyone has finally built up must not be suppressed by Korean cars at this time. The easiest way for everyone is to find Jin Xiaoqiang again and ask him to agree to provide 5at or 6at technology to everyone.

Regarding this aspect, Jin Xiaoqiang really has nothing to say. Isn't he just providing them with technical support?

No problem, you can have as much as you want. In fact, this is also an opportunity for Huayang Precision to gain a lot of benefits. If Huayang Precision wants to gain a foothold in China, it must establish a good relationship with these upstream automobile manufacturing companies.

Moreover, he also heard rumors that Aisin Seiko will also make sales plan adjustments in China.

In the past, because the Japanese had an absolute technological monopoly, they could take whatever they wanted from these Chinese automobile manufacturers. You had to buy whatever they wanted to sell you. It was a complete seller's market.

But now that Huayang Power has come out to disrupt the situation, their development in China has entered a stage of serious setbacks, and their sales in the Tianchao area have declined for two consecutive years...,

At this Frankfurt Motor Show, the 8at transmission jointly developed by them and Toyota was originally a product that had high hopes. It would not only improve Toyota's quality, but also make Aisin Seiko famous all over the world. However, it has not yet taken shape.

It has become a joke, which has hit Aisin Seiko hard.

This feeling is like the battleship race during the First World War in the past. When your carefully built battleship is still on the slipway, waiting to be launched into the sea next year, your opponent suddenly announces that it has built a battleship that is more advanced than yours.

Announce that your latest model of battleship is already out of date even before it hits the sea.

Not all companies can afford such a blow.

Therefore, according to the information Naruto sent back from Japan, it is said that Aisin Seiko will make adjustments to their business in China and expand their technology transfer rules. Some of the technologies that they were still cautious about before, this time they will be generous in all aspects.

to open.

Especially the automatic transmission technology they are best at, such as 4at, 5at or even the second-generation 6at, as long as you can afford it, they dare to sell it.

And the most important thing is, I heard that Aisin has been very aggressive this time. In order to cope with the challenge from Huayang Seiko, the prices they plan to sell these transmissions are not high.

In other words, this time the grandsons of Aisin Seiko have completely lost their face and plan to fight hand-to-hand with Huayang Seiko to seize the market.

Indeed, if they don't take some countermeasures, their market share in China will be destroyed. If this continues, it may not take two years before they and Panasonic, ne, have always sadly packed up and left the Chinese market.

Now that Aisin Seiko has made the decision to put down its figure, what should Huayang Seiko have to hesitate about? You guys are barefoot, are you still worried about you who just took off your shoes?

Turn, give them whatever they want? Anyway, this time I have to fight to the end with Aisin Seiko, and I will see red with their bayonets.

Jin Xiaoqiang quickly made a decision in his mind. When Zhu Junxi arrived in Frankfurt with a negotiator of his own brand, he had already received a notice from Jin Xiaoqiang.
