Current Situation Of Heavy Truck Enterprises

Since China's accession to the WTO, it has been the decade with the fastest development of automobile joint ventures and cooperation, and also the decade with the fiercest debate on "market for technology". In 2000, China successively established 10 automobile joint ventures. By 2009, more than 200 automobile joint ventures had been signed, including nearly 50 automobile enterprises and more than 150 parts enterprises. This corresponds to the rapid growth of the domestic automobile market.
Through foreign joint ventures and cooperation, China's automobile industry has introduced the capital, technology, products and management of transnational corporations, which has also really opened the flood of automobile marketization. However, from the current situation, almost all of China's large joint-venture automobile groups have become assembly plants of transnational corporations' overseas colonies. The Chinese market, which has followed the model of Brazil's occupation, has not changed technology, nor is it possible to change technology, without protecting the market, Multinational companies have occupied more than half of the world in both passenger and commercial vehicles in China.
Nowadays, as long as China's automobile industry has some valuable technology, none of it is not imported technology. The Chinese auto market has taken the route of "market for technology". The original intention is quite good. It hopes to give up the market to foreign parties through joint ventures, absorb and digest the technology exchanged, and finally develop models with independent property rights. However, it is undeniable that more than 30 years later, precious market resources have been released, but technology is still in the hands of the foreign side.
There is an old saying in China that "the world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit". The international auto giants from Europe, the United States, Japan and South Korea came to China from thousands of miles away, not to learn from Lei Feng, nor to be Bethune and Kelihua; They come to China to earn money. Why are foreign heavy truck giants so eager to plan their investment in China? The domestic heavy truck industry's hunger for "attracting wolves into the house" shows that the Chinese market has become a new important strategic market for these international giants, and it is a market that can help them further realize market and business diversification, share risks, balance profits and losses, peddle technologies that are lower than the national emission standards, and cultivate the main followers of this technology. At the same time, because of the relatively broad development prospects of the Chinese market, the international heavy truck giant will make a lot of profits in the Chinese market if it wants to win the expected profits.
In the field of commercial vehicles, a new pattern of multinational enterprises and Chinese enterprises competing for the Chinese market is taking shape. As IVECO, Volvo, Mercedes Benz, Renault, Hino, MAN, Caterpillar, Navistar and other companies have entered the Chinese market one after another, from simply introducing new models to introducing capital and technology to develop their own brands. In this new round of joint venture wave, Chinese car enterprises not only obtain advanced technology from foreign countries, improve product structure, expand market demand, and improve management level, In addition, we will build new technology models that are more environmentally friendly, safer and more reliable. At the same time, joint venture and cooperation also open the door for China's automobile industry to integrate into the world industrial system. Without this, there will be no development, but the cost is extremely heavy.
Although China's local heavy truck and its power assembly enterprises will face the risk of increasingly diluted profits in the fierce competition, the rapid growth of China's heavy truck market in recent years and the huge market potential strongly attract foreign enterprises to rush to enter one after another. As Iveco, Volvo, Mercedes Benz, Renault, Nissan, MAN, Caterpillar and other truck giants have carried out in-depth cooperation with Chinese enterprises, it is actually the competition of foreign giants from different technology departments in the technical route. It is expected that in a quite long period in the future, "technology transfer with equity investment" will become the main mode of cooperation between Chinese commercial vehicle enterprises and foreign parties. Although this will enable the company to become strong in a short time, it will undoubtedly weaken the independent research and development of the domestic heavy truck market, and make the Chinese heavy truck enterprise become a "colony" of the modern version of the "Eight Nations Alliance" multinational giant. Its decline process not only profoundly affects the development process of China's automobile industry and the structure of the commercial vehicle market, but also affects the global layout of international commercial vehicles.
