Layout of R&D Centers of Commercial Vehicles in China
A vibrating feeder is a device used to transport and dispense
materials from hoppers, bins, or silos in a controlled manner. The feeder uses
vibration to move the materials along a conveyor or other type of feeding
mechanism, and can be used for a variety of applications, including feeding
materials into a processing system, sorting and separating materials, and
controlling the flow of materials in a production line. Vibrating feeders are
commonly used in industries such as mining, construction, agriculture, and food
processing. They are available in a range of sizes and designs to suit
different applications and can be customized to meet specific requirements.

With the rapid development of the Chinese automotive market, more and more R&D centers for automobiles and components have been established in China in recent years. According to incomplete statistics, as of August 2010, the number of domestic R&D centers has reached 500 companies have nearly doubled in three years. Especially joint ventures and foreign-funded parts and components companies have been designing R&D centers or technology centers in China in the past two years, especially R&D centers for new energy and electric vehicles. It blooms all over the country.
I. Domestic R&D Center Structure
The domestic R&D center is mainly composed of four parts, namely R&D center for complete vehicles, R&D center for parts and components, R&D center for materials, government and colleges and universities.
From the perspective of the domestic R&D center structure, vehicle companies account for about 30%, component parts account for 35%, government and academic institutions account for 20%, and materials account for 15%.
Second, commercial vehicle R & D center structure
At present, there are about 70 R&D centers established by domestic commercial vehicle companies, and a total of about 150 R&D centers for commercial vehicle products, which account for about 35% of the total number of R&D centers in the country. The degree of emphasis is also increasing.
From the analysis of regional distribution, the number of R&D centers in East China is the largest, and in particular, there are dozens of R&D centers for car companies in Shanghai. East China is a traditional economically developed region in China and the largest integrated industrial base in China, and also a base for Chinese foreign trade. And the most important economic core area. Shanghai is China's economic, financial, and trade center. The economic radiation of its cities and towns is particularly evident. At the same time, most of the cities in the region belong to the coastal areas and open cities along the river in China. Opening hours are relatively early and the degree of opening up is relatively high. In the Pudong New Area of ​​the region, the state has given the most preferential investment policies similar to the special economic zones. More than 400 of the world's top 500 multinational companies have settled in East China. Talent and regional advantages have made East China become the largest number of R&D centers for car companies I have ever owned. area. In the northwest and southwest regions, because the automobile industry is not very developed and the area is relatively remote, the number of automotive R&D centers is relatively small.
III. Construction of R&D Centers for Major Commercial Vehicle Enterprises
From the analysis of the current situation of domestic commercial vehicle R&D centers, mainstream companies in the industry have their own product R&D centers, among which the key enterprises of medium- and heavy-duty trucks and large and medium-sized passenger vehicles have invested heavily in product R&D, including FAW and CNHTC. Large-scale enterprises such as Dongfeng, Yutong, Futian, SAIC, Jianghuai and Shaanxi Auto have gradually increased their investment in product R&D, and car companies are paying more and more attention to product R&D.
Fourth, the establishment of overseas R&D centers is a sign that car companies will mature.
When Chinese auto exports, especially commercial vehicle exports, have been booming in recent years, some domestic auto companies have already deployed on overseas research and development. In recent years, the pace of the self-owned brand cars going abroad has been accelerating. They not only built factories overseas, established regional headquarters, but also began to selectively establish overseas R&D centers. The establishment of an overseas R&D center for self-owned brand auto companies indicates that the internationalization strategy of China's auto companies has been extended to deeper areas, and also indicates that the strategic centers of these companies will shift from domestic to foreign countries.
V. The investment in R&D of domestic car companies is still low
Although the Chinese auto market has surpassed the United States to become the world's largest market, the domestic auto group's investment in research and development is obviously insufficient. At present, the proportion of R&D investment of multinational companies generally accounts for 5% to 6% of the company's sales revenue. Some companies are even higher. The investment in R&D of China's auto companies, especially those of commercial vehicles, is much lower than this proportion. According to the author's understanding, the current R&D investment of domestic commercial vehicle companies only accounts for 1-2% of total sales revenue, which is a great disparity with the international level. However, the good news is that in the past two years, various companies have paid more and more attention to product R&D. Enterprises pay more attention to product technology content and intellectual property rights. Products no longer simply compete on price, and companies attach more importance to product added value and technology. content.
