The hidden trouble behind the development of high-tech parts for construction machinery

Looking back on this year, in the field of construction machinery, the non-parts industry has attracted much attention. For a long time, the core components of construction machinery are dependent on imports, and “controlled by others” has become an indisputable fact. In the face of this embarrassing situation, we have made painstaking efforts. The state has introduced a number of supportive policies and finally proposed that the development of key basic parts and components industry should become the top priority in improving China's construction machinery industry. This triggered an investment boom in the parts and components industry. In the zealous pursuit of “trend” behind us, we have to worry that in the chaotic market environment, even if we are confident and passionate, the ultimate goal will be greatly reduced.

The policy promotes the temptation to enter the parts and components market. Not long ago, the state issued the "12th Five-Year Plan" for construction machinery, which clearly puts key components as the focus of development, especially investment in research and development of engines, hydraulic components, and transmission systems. Support policy efforts. Not long ago, during the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the construction of the Yuchai Group, we witnessed the unveiling ceremony of the Yuchai Diesel Engine Experimental Center. This project is a state-of-the-art diesel engine and large-scale agricultural machinery product supporting diesel engine insurance center. In the field of hydraulic component manufacturing and transmission component R&D, a number of supporting policies will also be introduced. In addition, the Equipment Division of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology also promoted the establishment of a "cooperative platform for the industrialization and application of high-pressure hydraulic components and systems for construction machinery". It is understood that various tasks are currently underway.

It can thus be seen that the country is now a real player. This combination of boxing fully illustrates the importance that the state attaches to key component industries. These are undoubtedly effective "strengthening agents" for the key parts and components industries of construction machinery.

Investment boom in spare parts industry Before this, Cai Weici, executive vice president of the China Federation of Machinery Industry, speculated that the machinery industry is still expected to continue its double-digit growth in 2012, and the growth rate of production and sales will also reach around 20%. Such growth will inevitably drive sales in the parts and components market, coupled with the country’s guidance on a series of policies and the large investment in research and development funds, setting off an investment boom in parts and components for the construction machinery industry.

In particular, domestic industry giants such as Xugong, Sanyi and Zoomlion have all targeted the spare parts investment market. XCMG, who is the vanguard of the industry, put forward the slogan of ''12th Five-Year'' strategic development plan focusing on 'world-class''. To reverse the embarrassing situation in which the development of key components has lagged behind the rise in the level of the domestic construction machinery industry, XCMG established the first postdoctoral mobile station in the domestic industry, which uses 5% of its sales revenue each year for research and development.

In this upsurge, many small and medium-sized enterprises as parts and components are not to be outdone, and they are also in full swing with product improvement and embarking on homework technical problems. The results are gratifying.

The hidden worries behind the development of components and high momentum behind this obsessive enthusiasm we can not help but worry about. As we all know, the development of China's spare parts industry is still in its infancy, and the lack of market standardization, especially the lack of industry information guidance and overall industry transparency, coupled with the lack of smooth sales channels, timely feedback on market demand information, and lack of supply of parts and components companies The smooth communication of enterprises has caused long-term overcapacity and overstocking of many products. On the one hand, it causes waste of product resources. On the other hand, the occupation of effective funds leads to difficulties in the circulation of funds of enterprises, and late-stage R&D production cannot be guaranteed. From the perspective of the development of the entire industry, it can be called a repetitive investment in products. In our words, good steel is not used by children. This will certainly hinder the rapidity and sustainability of the development of the accessories industry.

In the future, the key parts and components industry of the construction machinery industry will achieve greater breakthroughs in the shortest possible time, not only relying on structural adjustments, integrating superior resources, but also relying on the close cooperation among enterprises in the industry and the establishment of information channels. With perfection.

In this process, industry associations should fully play their role in guiding and regulating enterprises, establishing a sound market information investigation mechanism and timely information feedback mechanism. For medium and low-end product manufacturing enterprises, on the one hand, they must guide enterprises to make products more refined and stronger, and on the other hand, they must strictly limit product establishment and project support, and avoid low-end redundant construction. On the other hand, we should take the giants of the industry as the leader, and focus on the in-depth research and development of core parts and components to promote the development of the entire industry.

It is expected that in the near future, the development of the accessory parts industry will make breakthrough progress, and it will be able to produce several large enterprises with international competitiveness that have the core products of our national brand.
