Produce a full range of engines Chery launches a huge engine program


The production of a full range of engines Chery launched a huge engine plan Published: 2004-3-17 Source: Beijing News After pushing three new models last year, the Chinese "black horse" Chery Automobile has now taken new measures. According to this reporter’s report, Chery is developing a large engine production plan to create a full range of engine products with its own brand. This includes two engine production plants, one of which has been put into production, and the other is a larger engine. The factory is also about to start construction. This move shows that Chery has taken a big step forward in the development of automotive core technologies and independent brands. Production of 1.3-4.0 liters of the full range of engines just listed the new 0.8-liter QQ is equipped with the Chery brand engine. This four-valve engine is jointly developed by Chery and AVL, an Austrian engine design company, and has complete independent intellectual property rights. Feng Wutang, director of the Chery Engine Plant, told this reporter that this small-displacement engine was produced by Chery’s first engine plant. Technically, it had the support of foreign companies. Domestic Shanghai Jiaotong University and Shanghai Internal Combustion Engine Plant were also partners in this project. In addition to the engine plant, Chery’s new engine plant is also under construction and will be officially put into production by the end of the year. Jin Yibo, general manager of Chery, said that the new engine plant product line covers a range of products ranging from 1.3-4.0 liters to meet the needs of different models. Specific engine product output includes 1.3, 1.6, 1.9, 2.4, 2.9, 3.0 and 4.0 litres. Among them, 1.9 and 2.9 liters are diesel engines. In addition, V6 and V8 engines equipped with high-end cars will also be produced. Jin Yibo explained that the engine plan was not completed in one investment. The investment in one of the plants started at the same time as Chery’s establishment of the factory, costing 600 million yuan, and producing engine products with a capacity of less than 1.0 liter. The current output. It is 34,000 units; the second plant has an investment of 3 billion and plans to produce 300,000 units. Chery Motors wants to go abroad The development of Chery has been fierce in the past few years, and it has also caused many criticisms. Many patent rights lawsuits have caused the Chery brand to be affected to varying degrees. In the face of such an embarrassing situation, Jin Yibo believes that Chery currently does not only need impulses, but also completes a qualitative leap. Jin Zhenbo's view is that the key to automobile production lies in its core components. As far as appearance and interior components are concerned, it is entirely possible to use global resources for integration. In this regard, Chery’s main direction in the future will be to build four core components with independent brands and intellectual property. "The rest is left to others to do," said Jin Yibo. Industry insiders said that Chery’s move can enhance the company’s own competitiveness and development potential and win the initiative for itself. However, how to integrate the core components and global design capabilities in a seamless manner so that they can achieve better quality performance in the market will be the problem Chery has to face.
