China's automotive electronics: Forging core competitiveness1 [Copy link]

According to the relevant person in charge of the Technical Center of China First Automobile Group Corporation (FAW Technical Center for short) , FAW Technical Center is mainly engaged in
the design, research and test inspection of complete vehicles, bodies, chassis, engines, parts and components, and has rich experience in these aspects.
　　The person in charge told reporters that FAW's product family has formed a 5-ton to 9-ton long-head series
and a 4-ton to 16-ton flat-head series of truck products. The engine system,
chassis system, body, etc. used in these models are basically products developed by FAW Technical Center. In
the product development of sedans and light vehicles, FAW Technical Center effectively combined foreign advanced
technologies and developed the Hongqi series of sedans and 1-ton and 2-ton series of light buses and trucks,
creating development space for the company. This also reflects from one aspect that China has
strong R&D strength and advantages in the fields of buses and trucks, and can fully compose
the main theme . In the field of engines, the Wuxi Diesel Engine Factory and Dalian Diesel Engine Factory
　　invested and built by FAW Group also received technical development support from FAW Technical Center.
In terms of technology introduction, the technical
center
plays an important role in key links such as product selection, technical cooperation, quality certification, calibration matching, etc. with its many years of design experience. As the most complex and technologically advanced system in automobiles
, the exploration and research of FAW Technical Center in the field of engines has profound
practical significance.
　　In addition to the above fields, FAW Technical Center also actively carries out applied
scientific research . In-depth research has been carried out in aspects such as automobile handling stability and driving smoothness,
so it has rich practical experience and theoretical attainments. At present, the results developed and researched such as ABS anti-lock
braking device, airbag, engine electronic control supercharger intercooler, automobile exhaust emission, etc. have been
widely used in complete vehicles, improving the "safety, environmental protection, energy saving" level of the complete vehicle. At the same time,
scientific research projects such as super heavy trucks, AMT automatic transmissions, diesel engine electronic control systems are also in the process of
research and improvement, and will soon be put on the market.
　　It can be said that FAW Technical Center participates in the whole process from design, testing, trial production to production
, providing design and development of new products and improvement and improvement of existing products. From vehicle
development to assembly system development, the scientific research strength of FAW Technology Center also serves as a beacon in China
.
　　Regarding the current status of domestic automobile R&D, the person in charge mentioned that what
is lacking in China is core technology. It is not feasible to obtain core technology through joint ventures. The government should give
more policy support, and domestic research institutes need to absorb more funds to achieve
further development.

Background Information

　　China First Automobile Group Corporation Technology Center was established in 1995. FAW
Technology Center
has rich experience in the design, research, calculation and analysis of vehicles, bodies, chassis, engines, parts, new processes, new materials, etc. It is
a technically strong automobile product research and development
and testing base in the national automobile industry that integrates scientific research and product development. The technology center covers an area of 355,000 square meters and a construction area of 130,800
square meters. There are 1,340 engineering and technical personnel, including 19 doctors and 91 masters.
Over the years, more than 300 models have been developed, more than 1,000 scientific research results have been completed, and
more than 200 awards at or above the ministerial level have been won.

Shanghai Automotive Electronics Engineering Center
focuses on network development standards

　　"The purpose of choosing in-vehicle networks as a breakthrough is to develop automotive network technology standards that meet
national conditions and form an automotive control network system with independent intellectual property rights."
When talking about the research and development focus of Shanghai Automotive Electronics Engineering Center (hereinafter referred to as the Engineering Center),
Senior Engineer Yang Xiaofeng's pride is beyond words.
　　The Engineering Center chose in-vehicle networks as the research and development focus, which is obviously
an accurate grasp of the market and technology development trends. At present, there are many buses used in automotive networks in the world, among which the application advantages and development prospects of the CAN
bus are very obvious. It has not yet been finalized abroad, and
there are many application gaps in China. Therefore, Shanghai Automotive Electronics Engineering Center is speeding up the development and formulation
of CAN technical standards that meet national conditions, which can be said to be a forward-looking exploratory experiment.
　　According to Senior Engineer Yang Xiaofeng, the "
bus electrical control network based on CAN bus" currently developed by the Engineering Center has been installed and debugged on a bus, and it is planned to
complete the trial research in a few months. Once successful, this will be the first
successful case of applying an in-vehicle network system with independent intellectual property rights to a car.
　　In terms of automotive sensors, Shanghai Automotive Electronics Engineering Center mainly researches and develops Hall
phase sensors, which are mainly used in engine fuel injection systems to collect
the crankshaft phase of the engine to determine the ignition time and injection time. In addition, there are temperature (thin film platinum)
sensors, which represent the latest technology in the development of temperature sensors. Nowadays,
the core controls of engine electronic injection systems on the market are almost entirely controlled by foreign companies. Choosing basic components
such as sensors as breakthroughs and then gradually expanding from point to surface is a good way to break through technical
barriers and catch up. The practice of the engineering center also demonstrates its extraordinary significance.
According to reports, the sensor has been successfully trial-produced and is negotiating
cooperation .
　　At the same time, Shanghai Automotive Electronics Engineering Center has also made many achievements in the field of special integrated circuits.
It mainly includes chip development of odometer chips, hydraulic alarm chips and intelligent modules.
Through years of experimental accumulation, the core technologies in these areas have been mastered. The output of odometer
chips and hydraulic alarm chips has reached 200,000 to 300,000 pieces per year,
occupying a place in the domestic automotive electronics market.
　　In the field of automotive semiconductor lighting, the engineering center mainly focuses on
the development of LED components such as high-mounted brake lights, rear fog lights, and turn signals to meet the needs of automotive lighting development. Due to the early development
time , high cost performance, and market demand, the annual shipment volume is 150,000 sets.
　　In view of the current low level of research and development in the domestic automotive industry, Yang Xiaofeng suggested that the strong
market is our potential advantage. We should integrate and develop a group of distinctive
automotive electronics companies with industrial advantages and scale effects, increase investment, provide correct guidance, and then develop technology and
A breakthrough in the market.
　　In the future, Shanghai Automotive Electronics Engineering Center will carry out in-depth system development of automotive electronics,
drive modules with systems, drive the application development of devices and materials with modules, and then drive
the improvement of the overall R&D level of the domestic automotive electronics industry.
