BorgWarner Bosch Antonov took the initiative to seize the Chinese transmission market

Recently, with the formation of DCT dust settled by the joint venture between Zhongfa and BorgWarner, which is composed of 12 domestic car companies, Bosch's promotion of CVT has been in full swing, and Antonov’s establishment of the base of the transmission (AT) is also in progress. Put it on the agenda. In addition, there are many more international companies involved in the development and testing of transmissions. The participation of many international companies has been heard... Foreign giants have quietly opened up to the Chinese transmission market.

Strengthen the core technology of equity protection

It is understood that after six months of competition, in the newly established BorgWarner Double Clutch Drive System Co., Ltd., BorgWarner has a share ratio of 66%, and Zhongfa United has a share of 34%. (The chairman of the joint venture company is Borg. For Warner, 8 directors, Borg Warner, 5, and Zhongfa, 3, means that it can more closely protect its core technology.

"The transfer of core technology will be very difficult. The original intention of the project or the initial goal is not to allow Chinese independent brand enterprises to learn DCT technology, but to solve the problem of China's large number of automatic transmissions relying on imports." People frankly said. However, there are also shareholders of the China Development Alliance optimistic that the technology "overflow" effect of the joint venture process and the domestic production of core components will still help domestic companies to have a better understanding of DCT technology, thus laying a foundation for breakthrough in this technology.

Bosch supplied mainly to two major customers, including Japan’s Zytek and Binge, Belgium. It also supplied pressure steel strips to Hunan Yungda Vehicle Transmission Co., Ltd., Luoyang United Transmission Co., Ltd. and Chery Automobile, but it did not Develop a CVT with any company. According to industry sources, Shanghai United Electronics, which previously held 50% of Bosch shares, encountered Bosch's intention to invest in sole proprietorship, but it was not successful.

Analysts believe that for Chinese auto companies eager to make breakthroughs in independent innovation, whether it is the development of DCT or CVT, the key core technologies - dual clutches and pressure steel belts will remain in the hands of BorgWarner and Bosch. Neither development nor technology transfer will involve these core technologies. How to improve the understanding and R&D capabilities of Chinese companies for the entire DCT and CVT system is the key to the process of cooperation with the two.

Pulling the vehicle to expand market share

Among several foreign investors, Bosch is the first to invest in research and development of CVT-related technologies in China, and the cost is low. At the China Automotive Industry Forum in November this year, the company began to express its willingness to provide proprietary technology transfer and engineering support to Chinese companies, and to promote the development of CVT with Chinese companies. And exhibited a low-cost CVT developed specifically for China, India and other emerging markets - P070. Prior to this, the promotion of Bosch's CVT was mainly for domestic vehicle manufacturers and transmission manufacturers in China, but it was not promoted to the public. This accelerated the public’s understanding of CVT to some extent.

"Based on our development strategy, we started looking for a partner independent of any OEM." Antonoff's global CEO John Moore said, "Because if we have established a joint venture production base with an auto manufacturer, for example, And Geely, it will be difficult to supply the same transmission to other OEMs such as Chery and Changan. We don't want to have only one customer in China.” So after more than two years of “deep plowing”, they finally found Loncin. According to him, although Loncin doesn't have automatic transmission production experience, it is fully capable of producing high-quality automatic transmissions from its existing hardware and software management and inspection capabilities. In addition, Loncin's customer relations, its export The suppliers are well-known and we are very optimistic about their ability to handle customer relationships.

Recently, its own brand Lifan Motors became the first Chinese OEM customer for its latest six-speed automatic transmission. Lifan officially submitted the letter of intent to Antonov and plans to carry the Antonov 6AT in its own brand mid-size sedan in the second half of 2010.

"Our customers are mainly local OEMs," said John Moore. It is expected that Antonov’s first transmission will be released in the second half of 2010 and will be mass-produced in 2011.

According to relevant estimates by BorgWarner, by 2020, 80% of the automatic transmission models produced by the 12 shareholders of the company will use DCT transmissions.
