Dongfeng Motor attaches great importance to the project Such a joint venture project so big, chairman of Dongfeng Motor Corporation, Dongfeng Motor Group Co., Ltd., Xu Ping, general manager of Dongfeng Motor Corporation, Dongfeng Motor Group Co., Ltd. executive director, president Zhu Fushou, Dongfeng Motor Corporation Vice Liu Weidong, general manager Zhou Wenjie, corporate executives attended the kick off. Xu Ping, a speech at the signing ceremony, Zhu Fushou and Zhou Wenjie media interview, we can see that the Dongfeng Motor attaches great importance to this project.Some analysts believe that, Dongfeng Motor, a joint venture to promote cooperation projects, narrowing the domestic automobile industry in the area of ​​advanced transmission gap with the world advanced level, is of great significance.Although China has for three consecutive years to become the world's first automobile-producing countries, but the core technology in advanced engines, advanced transmissions, automotive electronics, still rests in the hands of foreign auto companies.Xu Ping, chairman of Dongfeng Motor Corporation, Dongfeng Motor Group Co., Ltd., said at the signing ceremony, Dongfeng Automobile Germany Getrag joint venture, Dongfeng Motor pooling global resources, speed up the construction of its own brand of powertrain, cultivate first an important measure of the ability of independent innovation.Under the agreement, the Chinese and foreign parties jointly set up in Wuhan Dongfeng the Getrag Automobile Gearbox Co., Ltd., R & D, production and sales of automatic transmissions and their spare parts and components, each holding a joint venture 50% of the shares. The annual production capacity of a construction reached 250,000 units CDT (dual clutch automatic transmission), and gradually to reach a capacity of 500,000 units. The first product jointly developed low torque DCT.General manager of Dongfeng Motor Corporation, Dongfeng Motor Group Company Limited Zhu Fushou president, said in a media interview in the passenger area, advanced dual-clutch automatic transmission, improve powertrain, more difficult than advanced engine. Advance of this joint project, and help to improve the core competitiveness of the domestic auto industry. A variety of ways to get advanced transmission technology The dual-clutch automatic transmission, can effectively reduce fuel consumption, increase driving comfort, the advanced technology of international automotive sector in recent years, the main push of a powertrain. Direct import from the domestic auto companies to this technology, foreign companies in the domestic production, overseas acquisitions, independent research and development and joint research and development of several different paths. The domestic passenger car, the use of dual-clutch automatic transmission is Volkswagen's brand vehicles. FAW Volkswagen and Shanghai Volkswagen, the production of the Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda brand cars, many of them to install a dual-clutch transmission DSG. DSG and turbo direct injection engine TSI, Volkswagen is called golden combination, and equipped with a configuration of passenger cars in this combination of gold, has hundreds of million population. In addition to the import, DSG from Volkswagen-owned enterprises in domestic production, the core technology in the hands of the Germans. Just listed near GAC the Fiat Tefei Xiang, also equipped with a combination of gold like Volkswagen, turbocharged and direct injection engine, jointly developed by Fiat and BMW, the dual-clutch transmission is also imported.In recent years, the research and development of advanced gearbox, independent brand enterprises invested heavily, also achieved some success. Geely Automobile acquired Australia the world's second largest independent automatic transmission enterprise - Australia DSI and DSI automatic transmission core technology into domestic production. Geely first 6-speed tiptronic automatic transmission production plant in Changsha, Xiangtan, and to fill the blank of own brands in the field of high-end automatic transmission. Narrowing the technology gap with foreign countries of China's auto industry advanced drive.Own brand cars BYD also developed a dual-clutch automatic transmission, with its independent research and development of advanced engine installed on the BYD models. Master DCT core technology as soon as possible The Dongfeng Motor walking joint R & D path. According to Zhu Fushou say, this technical route, you can quickly grasp the core technology and rapid mass production. The company Getrag Gearbox parent company is the world's largest independent supplier of advanced technologies and products has a manual transmission, automated manual gearbox, dual-clutch gearbox.In accordance with the agreement reached between the two sides, the joint venture will establish gearbox R & D center, and gradually form a complete gearbox research and development capabilities, the first product jointly developed low torque DCT.The torque of the mainstream market segment, as well as Dongfeng existing and future most of the vehicle and engine products produced by Dongfeng Getrag DCT dual-clutch gearbox basic coverage on the main parameters of the product to meet the Dongfeng brand passenger cars requirements of future models.Some analysts believe that the DCT technology roadmap in line with the automatic transmission technology trends, is the perfect Dongfeng brand passenger cars powertrain platform strategy important strategic measures. The Getrag Company is a well-known the gearbox production of enterprises so far a small number of high-volume industrial and commercial development, production DCT products. Dongfeng Motor Dongfeng Getrag project implementation will have automatic transmission resources and production base of Dongfeng brand passenger car gearbox R & D capabilities, product technical level and manufacturing processes will have the level of the leading domestic level and international competitiveness.Zhu Fushou said in answering reporters' questions, and the future, the Dongfeng Getrag products in addition to supply Dongfeng brand passenger car joint venture Dongfeng's also other domestic car prices brands and overseas markets to provide the service.
