Since the Second Industrial Revolution, the advent of the steam engine has allowed machines to replace workers, and the world's industrial markets have also shifted to Europe, which has ushered in the most prosperous and prosperous years in centuries. To this day, the industrial market in Europe still maintains good quality and excellent scientific and technological level.
Japan, which was as fast developing as Europe, was also a major shift in the Industrial Revolution, and Japan's industrial development was also increasing at the beginning of the Meiji Restoration. Although China's industrial development is relatively late to other countries, but the latecomers are very successful, China's domestic diesel engine from the brink of bankruptcy to the world's first to dominate 23% of the global market, widely praised by the European market.
First, domestic engines have gone from ups and downs to the forefront of the world
Whether it is a car or a ship, as long as it is a machine that needs power, it is inseparable from the existence of the heart part engine. In the field of engines, China has been in a relatively blank stage, or China's engines have no status at all in the high-end market, but with the continuous development of China's scientific and technological level, China's current engine market has gradually improved.
China's engines have not been very popular in the market, and even our people think that domestic diesel engines are not as good as imported engines. However, the improvement of China's scientific research level over the years has also made great changes in the engine market, and now in the global field, China's engine has accounted for a large part of the proportion.
The previous engine market was basically monopolized by Europe and Japan, whether it is in the civilian or military use of China relies on imports to solve this dilemma, it can be said that in the field of engines, China is completely stuck in the neck of other countries.
Nowadays, China is already the strongest country in the world's industrial and manufacturing industry, and the annual export of industrial products is innumerable, especially the engine market that was previously subject to people. Many people think of domestic diesel engines and think of whining tractor engines, smoking black smoke to build our beautiful and rich motherland.
Nowadays, China's late-starting engines have fully mastered domestic technology, and have made great progress in the field of independent research and development, and can even be said to catch up with japan and the United States. There are also many countries for the domestic diesel engine expressed affirmation and recognition, it can be said that China's domestic diesel engine is now completely out of the country.
The leader of the domestic diesel engine belongs to Weichai Power, and today's Weichai Power has maintained the best advantage from the brink of bankruptcy to the world's first. And the global market share has reached 23%, so how does Weichai Power do it? Let's take a look.
Second, Weichai Power's road has been unsmooth and was once on the verge of bankruptcy
Weichai Power was established in the last century, at that time China's engine market still relies on imitation of the Soviet engine-based model, for the entire market ups and downs are very difficult to predict, and at that time there was a Soviet Union such an industrial power to and China's domestic diesel engine to grab the market, Weichai Power's days are naturally not good.
In 1998, Weichai Power had great difficulties, because the sales performance of the market was not very good, and the company's products did not have great advantages in both technology and price. Weichai EMU also appeared in the internal staff departure, management job hopping situation, under the internal and external troubles of Weichai Power was once on the verge of bankruptcy, the debt owed at that time was as high as 300 million yuan.
The 300 million yuan in that era was also a considerable amount for enterprises such as Weichai Power, and employees and companies at that time believed that Weichai Power would end here, and many people were ready to be laid off. However, Tan Xuguang, the company's new factory director, does not see it this way, and through measures such as adjusting management positions and technical positions, Weichai Power has begun to restore normal order.
But simply returning to normal production would not get the company out of the predicament, and Tan Xuguang saw many of Weichai Power's many defective engines, including hundreds of defective engines. And also announced in the whole company that Weichai is to do the best and strongest, this defective product is not what our company needs.
It is precisely in this way that Weichai Power was pulled out of the debt crisis by Tan Xuguang, and soon Weichai Power developed its own unique set of processes from the perspective of research and development. Both the research and development of the engine and the management of the company have been greatly improved.
Third, Weichai Power, which pays attention to research and development, finally went to the world and was praised by De ri
If Weichai's success is the right management, then Weichai Power has gone out of the world because of its own emphasis on research and development. Scientific research is the key to some productivity, Weichai Power is relying on research and development out of this dilemma, Weichai Power now has its own professional R & D team, independent research and development of patent copyrights are innumerable.
In the first half of this year alone, Weichai Power's investment in research and development has reached 5 billion yuan, and it can be said that Weichai Power not only has to stabilize its position in research and development, but also has great efforts for future progress. The rapid development of domestic diesel engines makes Weichai Power can not stagnate, and if you do not pay attention, you may be caught up by people behind.
Last year, Weichai Power's global sales reached more than 500,000 units, and this is only part of Weichai Power's heavy-duty truck engine, which is already ranked first in the world's sales volume, and the total sales volume of Weichai Power reached 1 million units that year. This year, Weichai Power's revenue also reached 120 billion yuan, and its net profit was 6.4 billion yuan.
For such a proud achievement, Weichai Power is not proud and proud, and Weichai Power still has its own standards and goals for the development of future engines. Nowadays, the popularity of new energy vehicles has also made Weichai Power see a new goal, according to relevant people, Weichai Power is now developing together in the field of traditional engines and new energy, and the future is aimed at new energy.
Weichai Power has now made great progress in the research and development of hydrogen fuel cells, and the company has put these products into trial production, presumably after the successful test, Weichai Power's new products will be applied to the majority of new energy vehicles.
summary
Weichai Power has gone from obscurity to the world's first, from the brink of bankruptcy to an annual revenue of more than 100 billion yuan, which is behind the joint efforts of many employees and researchers of Weichai Power. The success of Weichai Power also further shows that China has made great progress in the field of engines, and also shows the spirit of our people who are not afraid of difficulties.
What do you think about domestic diesel engines? What is your view of Weichai Power's future involvement in the field of new energy? In addition to Weichai Power, which domestic engine companies do you know?
