After several years of layout, the Beijing auto industry finally began to seek a matching development position and took a milestone step towards the international market. This step happens to be when China is ambitiously advancing toward a big country for green cars. On June 9th, 400,000 engines of the Beijing Foton Cummins Engine Co., Ltd. were officially launched. When Beijing Vice Mayor Lou Zhongwen, former Minister of Machinery Industry, Honorary Chairman of China Automobile Industry Association He Guangyuan and former Minister of Machinery Industry Bao Xuding jointly unveiled the first 3.8L engine, it not only meant that it was more than a year ago. The so-called “largest diesel joint venture project in the world in the past 30 years†has been transformed into a strong product competitiveness, and more importantly, with the commencement of production of 400,000 Futian Cummins 3.8L light-duty diesel engines, plus the existing With 200,000 units of Olympian engines and 300,000 units of direct-injection petrol engines being planned, Foton is getting closer to its goal of setting up the world’s largest engine production base of 1 million vehicles in the Beijing area. . Beijing Automotive Industry Casts "Environmental Protection Factor" At the launching ceremony, Foton Motor and the United States Cummins Corporation signed the "European V Products Technology Licensing Contract," and signed a memorandum of cooperation on the development of products with emission standards above Euro V. At present, the domestic R&D of engines for Euro V and Euro VI emission standards has been put on the agenda. The signing of these cooperation agreements on the one hand indicates that Foton Motors has completed the technical reserves of Euro V and Euro VI emission standards to meet Future development needs, especially the needs of the international market. On the other hand, it also shows that the cooperation between Foton Motor and Cummins Inc. is a long-term, long-lasting strategic cooperation. According to reports, Futian and Cummins invested heavily to jointly build a new generation of 2.8/3.8 liters of ISF series high pressure direct injection light diesel engine, which is jointly developed by the Cummins US headquarters R&D center, the European R&D center, and the East Asia R&D center in Wuhan. World-class products are also truly new products that have never been put into production in any place including the United States. They are high-profile, economical diesel engines developed for the 21st century, European and American markets, etc. They have a high starting point, high performance and low Emissions and other characteristics, to meet the national III, national IV and higher emission standards, is the best product for the assembly of light commercial vehicles. At the same time, the joint venture factory aims to build a “green environmental model factoryâ€. The completed factory building adopts new materials and standardized advanced design. In accordance with Cummins global plant standard requirements, full consideration is given to environmental protection, safety, and humanistic care. This time, Foton Motors and Cummins have jointly put into practice the “environmental protection factor†in product development, manufacturing, and even corporate culture. This not only conforms to the industry development trend of energy conservation and emission reduction in the global automotive industry, but also provides a number of domestic companies with a “ Environmental protection and development "the path of peers. Previously, due to the lack of domestic low-emission, high-performance light-duty diesel engine products, domestic light trucks and MPVs could not break through strict environmental protection barriers and stop in developed country markets. It is understood that the Foton Cummins ISF3.8 engine is unique in eight global leading technologies and has achieved a comprehensive lead in Foton Motor's power, quality, fuel consumption, and emissions. It not only fills a number of gaps in similar domestic products and technologies. It will also be the first to be installed on Foton Motors' Omar, Auman, Ao Ling, and Mongolian Parker vehicles to provide a more robust heart for the full range of Foton Motor products. Fukuda Motors can therefore surpass the current most stringent environmental protection barriers in the world in terms of emissions, enhance the international competitiveness of its products, and accelerate the pace of its entry into the markets of developed countries such as Europe, the United States, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea. The construction of a million engine base will continue to consolidate the status of the world's second largest commercial vehicle in Futian, and will become a strong support for the development of Beijing's new energy vehicle design and manufacturing industry base. Mr. Lan Bowen, president and chief operating officer of Cummins, said at the launch ceremony that with the continued rise in the price of oil and the intensification of the global warming effect, the adoption of energy-efficient, environmentally friendly diesel engines has become one of the major trends in the development of the international automobile industry. The Chinese government has accelerated the "energy saving and emission reduction" work in recent years, providing a broader market space for green diesel engines. Green light engine leads the world The marriage between Futian and Cummins is undoubtedly a win-win result: the groundbreaking cooperation model will enable Futian Commercial Vehicles to have at least 20 years of technology leadership in China and take this as a key step in internationalization; while Cummins is acquiring the market , Nicely completed the global strategic transformation. As the world's largest manufacturer and supplier of diesel engines with more than 50 horsepower, Cummins has an excellent interpretation of the independent survival and development of 90 years. Based on the principle of localization, international development and alliance with the best companies, Cummins successfully led three cooperations in China: in the 4 to 9 liters of medium-horsepower engines and Dongfeng commercial vehicles with the largest sales of medium trucks, in 11 The engine of Shengli High-powered engines and the heavy-duty truck sales of more than 15 tons were held in hand by Shaanxi Auto, and the light engine grabbed the fertile market of Foton Motor which occupied 1/3 of the light truck market. At this point, Cummins' product strategy in China has taken shape. At the same time, with the shift of the global automotive industry, Cummins has completed a new business expansion in China - to enter the light engine sector, and use partners to carry out the layout of China and the world. In fact, as early as 2000, Cummins had predicted that light-duty diesel engines would form new market hot spots after heavy-duty diesel engines. It actively cooperated with the US Department of Energy LDA in the new light dieselization project, which laid Cummins’s position in the world of light diesel engines in the future. After careful selection, Foton Motor has become the global foothold of this new business. "It is Cummins's successful old tradition to maintain its leading position in technology, actively participate in international development, and provide solutions for companies facing new challenges. Although the investment is huge, it also allows Cummins to make new adjustments to the future. And stay ahead.†At the launching ceremony, Mr. Su Zhiqiang, chairman and chief executive officer of Cummins of the United States, said that the ISF series 2.8-liter and 3.8-liter light inline four-cylinder high-pressure direct-injection diesel engines to be mass-produced at Beijing Foton Cummins Engine Company are Cummins. The new force of the power product line. Car weight tolls and the implementation of the National III Standard and the introduction of the “Limit of Fuel Consumption Limits for Light Commercial Vehicles†will all accelerate the adjustment of the light truck product structure in 2009. In the world economic situation where economy, energy conservation and environmental protection are the main melody, Futian The commissioning of the Cummins engine will accelerate the industrial upgrading of China's commercial vehicles and promote technological progress, which will also have a huge boost in the development of the entire industry. With the gradual construction of the Beijing Auto Million Green Power Base, it will also accelerate the green future of China's autos. Environmental protection and development Wang Jinyu, general manager of Foton Motor, told reporters: “At present, environmental protection issues are undoubtedly placed in the most important position in the Foton auto product development schedule. According to our current implementation plan, the nitrogen oxides and particulates of various models of Foton Motors will substantially increase. With the reduction, we will be the first to take action to return the city to a blue sky, so that Futian will always be the world leader in the field of automotive environmental protection.†With the rapid growth of car ownership, the automobile has brought convenience to people, emissions and pollution have begun to show its "power"; not only that, car consumers are also experiencing increasing pressure on oil prices. Therefore, energy conservation, emission reduction and environmental protection have become the common concern of the country, auto manufacturers and auto consumers. As an important part of social citizens, enterprises have an unshirkable responsibility for environmental protection. Foton Motor took the initiative to actively promote the industrialization of new energy vehicles at the product level, in conjunction with Cummins innovations in traditional internal combustion engine technology; at the production level, Futian took the lead in putting forward the goal of “reduce CO2 emission reduction plan†in China, that is, to achieve production in 2010. The CO2 emission of a single product was reduced by 8% compared to 2004, and the cumulative reduction in CO2 emissions reached about 100,000 tons. According to industry experts, the fuel consumption of electronically controlled diesel engines depends mainly on combustion efficiency and mechanical efficiency. To improve the combustion efficiency, it is possible to improve the efficiency of the engine by increasing the aeration efficiency of the engine, and using appropriate methods such as cyclonic flow and oil-gas mixture to fully combust the combustion, and at the same time increase the mechanical efficiency and improve the fuel consumption. The improvement of fuel economy generally improves the intake air volume, and appropriately increases the injection advance angle to improve the mixing and combustion of oil and gas. However, it can easily lead to high temperatures and oxygen-enriched environments, which increase the emission of nitrogen oxides. Therefore, fuel economy and emissions are like a double-edged sword, a natural contradiction. In order to alleviate this contradiction, in recent years, major engine manufacturers have developed new technologies one after another, such as adopting techniques such as increasing injection pressure, delay of fuel injection timing, improved combustion chambers, supercharging, etc. to reduce particulate emissions, but with little success. It is difficult to truly achieve environmental protection and fuel economy. According to reports, the Foton Cummins ISF engine integrates electronically controlled high-pressure common-rail technology, supercharged intercooling technology, improved intake and combustion chambers, and advanced post-processing technologies (such as SCR and EGR technologies) to integrate these advanced technologies. The integration and integration have achieved historical breakthroughs in many aspects such as fuel economy and environmental protection. They represent the world's first-class environmental protection engine technology and fully meet the most stringent emission standards in the United States and Europe. Short comment At present, most of China's auto product exports are concentrated in Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America where the auto industry is underdeveloped, and it is almost a blank in Europe and the United States. However, for the internationalization of Chinese auto companies, only when they really enter the European and American markets, can Chinese auto companies truly realize internationalization. Therefore, creating a more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly “heart†has become the most pressing task for all Chinese auto companies that are interested in international expansion. In this sense, Foton and Cummins have not only obtained two world-class light diesel engines, improved their own power system, and more importantly, obtained the “pass†to enter the developed markets, which has always been committed to companies. Internationally operated Foton Motors has a longer-term strategic significance. Foton Motors, together with Cummins's top-ranking technology and world-leading diesel engines with environmental performance, not only adds a strong “green competitiveness†to Foton Auto's products, but also makes environmental protection technology a new core competitive advantage, enabling the deployment of “global enginesâ€. Foton Motor takes this to the world.
