A few days ago, a number of well-known Japanese car companies began to purchase engine products from the Chinese brand Chery on a large scale, and the madness shocked the entire industry. Kawasaki Heavy Industries, in particular, has always been a loyal partner of Chery.
You read that right, it's the Japanese automakers, the "perfect maniacs" who are famous for their demanding quality, are buying in large quantities a key auto component from China - the engine!
This is no small matter. For the car, the engine is the "heart", and its quality directly determines the performance of the whole vehicle. Therefore, as a powerful engine country, Japanese car companies have always been quite strict about the engine. Now they have not hesitated to extend an "olive branch" to the Chinese brand Chery, what does it mean?
Obviously, China's engine technology has fully met the standards and is recognized in the eyes of Japanese car companies. This is not only the greatest affirmation of the comprehensive strength of China's automobile manufacturing industry, but also means that "Made in China" is climbing to the high end of the value chain.
The protagonist of the Chinese engine winning the favor of Japanese car companies is Chery Automobile's SQR372 engine. Industry insiders are full of praise for this: "This engine has excellent performance and is a truly high-precision product. High efficiency, low noise, durability ...... Every indicator data is not inferior to others!"
In addition to its outstanding technology, the comprehensive performance of SQR372 has also won unanimous praise from Japanese customers. It is understood that they particularly appreciate the long service life and stable reliability of this engine, which is completely comparable to Japanese engines.
The environmental friendliness of SQR372 has also impressed Japanese customers. This engine delivers industry-leading low fuel consumption while delivering power, which can significantly reduce carbon emissions, which is a boon to the environment.
In the face of such an outstanding comprehensive performance, Japanese car companies, including Toyota, Honda, and Nissan, have taken the initiative to show their goodwill, and have reached in-depth cooperation intentions with Chery Automobile. They have publicly stated that they hope to use China's engine technology to inject new vitality into the power system of their products.
People in the world are always prejudiced against "Made in China", believing that China will only copy. But the success of Chery engine has given the world a slap in the face! Almost all the core technologies of this engine are obtained by Chery through independent innovation and research and development, and it has complete intellectual property rights, showing the creativity of Chinese self-reliance.
It is precisely because of the emphasis on independent innovation that Chery can achieve today's remarkable results in the field of engines. It is understood that Chery invests heavily in engine research and development every year, has a large research and development team, and has made many breakthroughs in turbocharging, hybrid and other fields.
Over the years, Chinese enterprises have been groping for progress on the road of independent innovation and have paid a heavy price. However, as evidenced by Chery's successful example, as long as we are not afraid of difficulties and persevere, we will eventually be able to break through many obstacles, win independent intellectual property rights, and achieve corner overtaking.
However, it is no accident that Chery engine has won the recognition of Japanese car companies. From mobile phone chips to high-speed rail equipment, the product quality and technical level of China's manufacturing industry have continued to improve in recent years, highlighting strong competitiveness in more and more high-end fields, thus gradually winning the trust of the international market.
Chery engine's favor with Japanese car companies is not only an achievement of a company, but also a witness and embodiment of the overall strength of China's manufacturing industry. This shows that China's manufacturing is making great strides from the role of "world factory" in the past to "world intelligent manufacturing".
In recent years, the international competitiveness of China's manufacturing industry has continued to rise, and it has shown strong strength in more and more fields. Taking smartphone chips as an example, the independent controllable chip products of Chinese companies not only occupy the majority of the domestic market, but also sell well in developed markets such as Europe, America, Japan and South Korea.
Looking at the field of high-speed rail, China's self-developed high-speed rail trains and technical equipment have reached the world's leading level in terms of reliability and economy, and have been exported to a large number of European countries such as Germany, a "railway power".
These examples highlight the fact that China's manufacturing industry is no longer the "world factory" of low-end OEM, and is actively climbing to the middle and high end of the value chain, striving to achieve a gorgeous transformation from a "manufacturing power" to a "manufacturing power".
The key to such remarkable results lies in China's firm adherence to the development path of independent innovation. The mainland has spared no effort to increase investment in scientific research and inject a steady stream of impetus into enterprise innovation.
At the same time, the mainland has also vigorously strengthened the protection of intellectual property rights, creating a good legal environment for enterprises to innovate independently. The key areas related to the national economy and people's livelihood, as well as the consumer goods that are inseparable from daily life, are all the results of independent innovation and self-reliance of Chinese enterprises.
The reason why it can win the recognition of developed countries such as Japan in a relatively short period of time is inseparable from the rapid enhancement of China's independent innovation ability in the manufacturing industry. We have firmly grasped the core technology of the engine, the "heart" of the automobile, and are no longer the "processing code farmers" who work alone in the world's factories.
Despite breakthroughs in areas such as engines, the gap with developed countries remains. A new round of global scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation has struck, China's manufacturing industry can only be invincible if it keeps up with the pace of the times, continuously increases independent innovation, and strives for more innovative achievements.
