As China has become the world's largest automobile production and sales country, the number of car ownership has risen sharply, and the replacement of automobiles has accelerated. A large number of vehicles that have been eliminated have provided rich resources for the auto parts remanufacturing industry. But for a long time, China's auto parts remanufacturing industry has developed slowly. In recent years, China has introduced a series of policies to encourage the healthy and sustainable development of the industry. Industry experts said that the current opportunities for the development of China's auto parts remanufacturing industry are good, but it is still necessary to solve three problems.

Just started the sunrise industry

By the end of 2011, perhaps the owners of many domestic Volkswagen brands will encounter an interesting thing that can replace the refurbished engine in the 4S shop. This "retrofit" engine produced by the Volkswagen FAW-engine remanufacturing project is at least 30% cheaper, while enjoying the same 26,000 km warranty as the new engine.

On August 27th, 2011, as the first powertrain remanufacturing base in China and the first batch of auto parts remanufacturing pilot enterprises, the Volkswagen FAW Engine (Dalian) was established as a powertrain remanufacturing base jointly invested by Volkswagen Group and China FAW Group. ) The company's powertrain remanufacturing project was put into operation in Dalian, Liaoning Province, with an initial annual production capacity of 5,000 units. According to reports, the company will begin with engine remanufacturing, and it will enter the remanufacturing field such as gearboxes in the future. It is expected that by the end of 2011, the company's remanufactured engines will enter the market.

The remanufacturing of auto parts refers to the mass production process in which the old auto parts are professionally repaired by advanced means to return them to the same quality and performance as the original new ones. Compared with manufacturing new products, auto parts remanufacturing has obvious advantages in cost saving and resource conservation, and it belongs to the circular economy.

Compared with developed countries such as Europe and the United States, China’s auto parts remanufacturing industry started to develop slowly during the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period. In 2008, the National Development and Reform Commission started the pilot work of the auto parts remanufacturing industry, and selected the first batch of 14 remanufacturing companies as pilot units. The "Recycling Economy Promotion Law of the People's Republic of China", which took effect in 2009, elaborated on the remanufacturing industry. In 2010, China re-invented the remanufacturing industry including auto parts as a national "12th Five-Year Plan" strategic emerging industry.

Looking around the world, auto parts remanufacturing has become a sunrise industry. Taking the 285 million vehicles in the United States as an example, the auto parts remanufacturing market reached 40 billion U.S. dollars in 2010. In China, despite the fact that the number of cars in 2010 has exceeded 80 million, and the number of domestic scrapped vehicles is nearly 4 million, the proportion of auto parts and components industry is too small. According to statistics from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, in 2009, China's remanufactured automobile engines were about 110,000 units, and about 60,000 units of transmissions were remanufactured, and about 1 million generators and starters were produced. The output value was less than 2.5 billion yuan.

"Although China's auto parts remanufacturing industry is just in its infancy and is in its infancy, the prospects for the future are very broad. With the rapid increase in the number of car ownership in China in recent years, the number of end-of-life scrap cars is also increasing each year. Remanufacturing of spare parts provides abundant resources. According to the ratio of car ownership in developed countries such as the United States and the proportion of remanufacturing industries, China's auto parts remanufacturing industry still has enormous potential for development.” Internationally renowned auto parts companies Wang Shangqian, General Manager of the China Sales Division of Meritor's Aftermarket Division, said.

In recent years, the huge domestic market has also attracted some internationally renowned parts remanufacturing companies. In addition to Volkswagen has long aimed at this market, Germany's ALBA company, the United Kingdom's Liszt Group have already entered China's auto parts remanufacturing industry, including Liszt Group's joint venture in China Jinan Fuqiang Power Co., Ltd. It was included in the first batch of 14 component remanufacturing pilot companies.

Wu Yiping, deputy director of the Expert Committee of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, stated that since China’s remanufacturing pilot work in 14 auto and parts enterprises in March 2008, China’s auto parts remanufacturing work has been related to standards, technologies and processes. The development of related policies, promotion and publicity have achieved results in many aspects. Pilot companies have basically understood and mastered remanufacturing technologies and processes to varying degrees.

Automotive parts remanufacturing industry faces multiple bottlenecks

Recently, the reporter interviewed a number of auto parts remanufacturing companies and learned that although these companies are facing very good opportunities, some deep-seated problems within the industry have also been prominent for a long time. With the continuous increase in the number of scrapped cars, these deep contradictions have become increasingly restrictive for the sustainable development of the industry. After combing the reporters found that the industry currently has the following shortcomings.

One short board, the amount of recycling is not enough, restricting the continuous development of remanufacturing enterprises. FAW Guantong Auto Recycling and Dismantling Company belongs to the first batch of 14 auto parts remanufacturing companies in China. When the reporter arrived at the company located in the south side of Changchun City, the workers in the workshop were dismantling and parked on the open space outside the factory building. Recycling scrapped cars. Zhao Meng, the company's manager, told the reporter that the company's design capability is that it can recycle 8,000 scrap cars each year. However, it is currently about 1,000 vehicles a year. "This is still a relatively good year. In 2010, it recovered less than 300 vehicles."

The reporter learned from the interview that companies such as FAW Guantong Company are not uncommon, and the remanufacturing of auto parts and components is faced with a relatively common situation. According to statistics, during the 10 years from 1999 to 2009, China’s automobile production has increased by 7.53 times, and the number of possessions has increased by 4.33 times. In 2009, the amount of automobile recycling only accounted for 2.61% of the vehicle ownership in the current year, which was far lower than that of the developed countries. %s level.

In addition, the policy restrictions also make the number of auto parts too small. According to the State Council's Decree No. 307 of the State Council, the "Administrative Measures for the Retirement of End-of-Life Vehicles" stipulates that the "five major assemblies" including engines, transmissions, and front and rear axles must be sold to steel companies as raw materials for production. However, in fact, many of these assemblies are resources that can be remanufactured. This has caused the remanufactured enterprises to have insufficient recycling.

Second, the order of the remanufacturing industry is chaotic, and the formal enterprises are faced with the bad competition of the “unfamiliar brand”. In an interview with the reporter, it was learned that for a regular auto parts remanufacturing company, the price for recycling scrapped companies is generally based on the market price of scrap iron. Take an example of a car that faces scrapped Jetta. The company pays the owner about 1,000 yuan. Some small workshops lacking qualifications rely on the private sale of engines, transmissions, and other assemblies to obtain huge benefits.

Take a 10 ton scrapped truck as an example. Because the “five major assemblies” cannot be sold as required, formal enterprises will benefit from scrap steel scrap after dismantling, and sell up to 20,000 yuan. The purchase price cannot exceed 12,000 yuan, otherwise When you count the cost and taxes, you will lose money. However, the underground dismantling plant can completely purchase at a price of 20,000 yuan or more, because at least it is illegal to sell the "five major assemblies" and you can make a big profit. For example, a large truck engine can sell for 7,000 yuan and the rear axle can sell 8 yuan. Thousand dollars, it wouldn't be difficult for a car to sell to 25,000 yuan or more.

Short board 3. The overall technical level of domestic remanufacturers is not high, and society's low recognition of the remanufacturing industry hinders the further development of the industry. According to reports, auto parts remanufacturing production needs to be dismantled, cleaned, tested and classified according to specific procedures, remanufactured processing or replacement of failed parts, and reassembly of products, and they are finally delivered to the market after rigorous testing. In fact, due to the late start of China's auto parts remanufacturing industry and the relative backwardness of equipment, the most important one is the high input cost. The burden on the company itself is very high, which leads to the domestic remanufacturing industry compared with foreign counterparts in technology. There is still a small gap between quality and quality. An obvious example is that, even in the demonstration enterprises of auto parts remanufacturing demonstrations, there are still some methods that use relatively backward dimensional repairs and replacement parts, and the remanufacturing rate is very low.

At the same time, due to factors such as traditional consumer attitudes and inadequate propaganda, the current domestic public’s awareness of the auto parts remanufacturing industry is not sufficient, and there is a certain degree of bias. “Even if it is half the price, it will not buy old goods”. universal. This leads to insufficient consumer understanding and support for car remanufacturing. Remanufactured products are still limited to consumers.

Actively respond to promote the healthy development of the industry

According to some experts and industry insiders in the interview, the “12th Five-Year Plan” period that has already begun will be a critical period for China's auto parts remanufacturing industry from the initial phase to the big development phase. Some experts suggested that the current situation should be actively responded to from the following aspects and fill in the shortcomings in the auto parts remanufacturing industry.

On the one hand, it is necessary to increase policy support and ease the problem of “failure to eat” of remanufacturers, and at the same time accelerate the upgrading of enterprises. Li Dakai, chairman of the Shaanxi Fast Group, said that the state should continue to increase preferential policies and provide targeted support and encouragement to auto parts remanufacturing enterprises, guide and promote the scientific development of these companies, and constantly improve the level.

During the interview, the reporter learned that, in 2010, stimulated by the incentives for national automobile trade-in and trade-in, the domestic auto parts remanufacturing industry ushered in a peak recovery period, but with the withdrawal of various preferential policies since 2011, the industry has almost fallen into “ No car can be accepted. In addition, since 2010, China has started the upgrading project of automobile recycling companies in many cities, but it is difficult to complete the company's own efforts to meet the national requirements for upgrade and reconstruction of various indicators. Many corporate leaders hope that the country’s good policies can be sustained and “help the hand” at the key stage of corporate growth.

On the other hand, it regulates the order of the industry and promotes the healthy development of the auto parts remanufacturing industry. Some experts said that to promote the healthy and orderly development of the automobile parts remanufacturing industry, it is necessary to adopt a multi-pronged approach and comprehensively apply laws, economics, and necessary administrative means to advance. In particular, for the phenomenon of private insolvency that is currently prevalent in the industry, it is necessary to increase administrative enforcement and resolutely ban unscrupulous companies and small workshop dens.

Ma Zhizhong, vice president of the Jilin Metal Recycling Association, said that currently all government departments supervise end-of-life vehicles, generally adopting a joint and one-on-two approach each year, and cannot form a joint force and sustained crackdown on the department. If a special management agency can be set up, and supervision will be conducted in the two areas of end-of-life vehicle operation and dismantling companies, this will be normalized, and it will create long-term deterrence for private companies.

In addition, we must continue to increase propaganda, through a variety of ways to continuously promote the community's recognition of this industry. Many experts stated that the concept of consumption is a key link in whether auto parts remanufactured products can flow into the market. Only more and more people realize the importance and practicality of auto parts remanufacturing, and promote more car zero. Parts remanufactured products enter the circulation and it is possible to form a complete chain, thus promoting the healthy and sustainable development of this new industry.
