Studying Chinese Auto Enterprises' Independent R&D Roads


In this age of knowledge economy, technology is the core competitiveness of the entire country. At the end of 20 03, the Fourth Plenary Session of the Eighth CPC Central Committee in Shanghai reviewed and adopted the "Strategic Outline for the Implementation of the Strategy for the Rejuvenation of Cities through Science and Education in Shanghai," and established the strategy for developing the city through science and education. Innovation is also the core issue of Shanghai's main strategy of “revitalizing the city through science and education”.

From 1993 to 2002, the contribution rate of Shanghai's science and technology to economic growth increased from 33% to 53.08%, and the proportion of high-tech industrial output value to total industrial output value increased from 15.45% to 23.4%. At the same time, however, scientific research capabilities and innovation capabilities have not significantly improved. This is because these scientific research results are all brought by ultra-high-intensity investment. Innovation, especially independent innovation, does not constitute the core of this round of scientific and technological progress.

In the 1970s and 1990s, Southeast Asia and Latin American countries all took the lead in the world economic arena, but eventually fell into the turmoil of the financial crisis and "Latin American disease." What are the reasons? It is precisely because of ignoring scientific and technological innovation, talent innovation, and institutional innovation that it has been unable to get rid of the low-end status in the vertical division of labor of multinational corporations.

China Car: Giant Cowardly

At present, there are more than 5,800 various types of production enterprises in the automotive industry in China, with total assets exceeding RMB 1 trillion. In 2004, the domestic automobile output reached 5.07 million vehicles, the total output value of the automobile industry had reached more than 1100 billion yuan, and the industrial added value was more than 270 billion yuan. The proportion of the national GDP has risen from less than 1% in the late period of the Ninth Five-Year Plan to close to 2%. By 2010, which is the end of the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period for cars, the proportion of China's auto industry's added value to GDP will further increase to 2.5%.

The absolute leading joint venture in the Chinese automotive industry is taking a path of “introduction, imitation, and absorption”. There are few leading technologies and products that are truly original and have independent intellectual property rights. In the past, the domestic market was relatively closed, and this technology model was enough to compete in the domestic market. But today, economic globalization has taken a big step forward, and the trend of international competition in the domestic market has become increasingly apparent. This time, simply relying on the "introduction-absorption" technology model obviously will not work.

It is often said that the third-tier enterprises do products, second-rate companies do brands, and first-rate enterprises do standards, and China is a big consumer and production country of automobiles, but it still stays at the initial stage of products. Do not say R & D technical standards, even the real Chinese brands are rare. In the three-part chassis, the engine, and the tires of the car, the chassis and engine technology are never closed. Not to mention how competitive Chinese cars can be internationally.

Moreover, as tariffs and non-tariff barriers are further reduced, Chinese cars are increasingly entering the international market, and they are bound to increase the trade disputes between China and major trading nations. The impact of adverse provisions in some WTO regulations will gradually play a role.

Innovation supplement board

Since China's accession to the WTO, the Chinese auto industry has experienced spurt development, but the more prosperous the market is, the deeper the concern for the future of Chinese autos. Because the world has learned from Latin America and Brazil: Will China become the world's automobile production workshop like Latin America?

Some people with lofty ideals in the country have already realized the key to solving this problem and are trying their best to make up for this shortcoming in the Chinese auto industry. In the past three years, China’s own brands have grown from scratch, from 5% to 20% of the market share, and no one has learned from the country to go abroad. This proves that the future of Chinese automobiles lies in independent innovation, with independent brands, technology and intellectual property rights. .

The development of China's auto industry to today, the international giant "6 + 3" all come, leaving the Chinese auto industry has little room for the development of its own brand, like the kind of reliance on extensive investment to boost growth at the end of the last century is already a powerful end. From the perspective of each joint venture foreign company, most of the companies that are currently experiencing a downturn in the market are also underinvested in R&D and innovation. With the increasing number of competitors and the increasing maturity of consumers, Chinese autos, especially self-owned brands, must continue to invest in technology and research and development in order to maintain their foothold and development in the future. Only in this way can we change the technical backwardness of Chinese cars and thus truly change China's disadvantageous position in this international division of labor.

On the other hand, in today's increasingly scarce energy, new energy vehicles have become the unanimous development goals of the auto giants in the future. It is generally believed that in the traditional automotive field, China's automobile industry is about 20 years away from the international advanced level. However, in the field of new energy, our distance is only about five years. Chinese cars should seize this opportunity and increase investment in R&D so that we can catch up.
