China's internal combustion engine industry celebrates its 100th anniversary

138 enterprises in China's internal combustion engine industry were awarded the "100 Years of Achievement Award" of China's internal combustion engine industry. On October 20th, a series of ceremonies sponsored by the China Internal Combustion Engine Industry Association, the China Machinery Industry Federation, and the China Institute of Internal Combustion Engines were launched in the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. Jia Qinglin, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, sent a message of congratulations to the cadres, staff, and scientific and technical personnel who worked hard in the internal combustion engine industry. He hoped that the internal combustion engine industry will accelerate the cultivation of independent innovation capabilities, adhere to energy conservation and emission reduction, and take up the right. The social environment and the responsibility for the development of circular economy will transform China from a large producer and consumer of internal combustion engines to a manufacturing power.

Deputy Minister of Industry and Information Technology Miao Wei attended the ceremony. Zhang Guobao, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission and director of the Energy Bureau, congratulated the conference on behalf of the National Development and Reform Commission. The former leaders of the former Ministry of Machinery Industry, such as He Guangyuan, as well as nearly 1,000 representatives of industries, enterprises, and research institutes attended and participated in the event.

Zhang Guobao pointed out in his congratulatory letter the situation and tasks faced by the development of the internal combustion engine industry. It requires the enterprises of the internal combustion engine industry to regard improving the capability of independent innovation as a central link in advancing structural adjustment and improving the country’s competitiveness, and as a national strategy that runs through all aspects of the development of the industry. We must regard resources conservation, energy saving and emission reduction, and environmental protection as an important task for the sustainable development of the entire industry. We must implement the scientific concept of development in accordance with the strategic deployment of the Party Central Committee, be proactive, enterprising, innovate, and constantly strive for innovation to achieve China's equipment manufacturing industry. Rejuvenated and worked hard.

At the meeting, Yu Zhen, President of the China Machinery Industry Federation, congratulated China on its brilliant achievements in the development of the internal combustion engine over the past 100 years. Yu Zhen said that the internal combustion engine is an important industry for China's machinery and equipment. Internal combustion engine products are still the main power system of the machinery industry. Its technology is widely used in transportation, oil extraction and other fields. At present, China's internal combustion engine industry is in a period of rapid development. The ever-increasing gross national product, the deepening economic globalization, and the historic importance of building a well-off society in an all-round way have brought new demands for the development of internal combustion engines in China and brought new Historical opportunity.

Yu Zhen also said that China's internal combustion engine industry is in a transitional stage, and its product structure, technology and equipment level, management level, scientific research level, and personnel quality are still far from the international advanced level. The level of enterprises in the internal combustion engine industry in China is uneven, and the capacity for independent innovation remains to be improved. The industry's ability to resist risks is still weak. Under the new historical starting point, the development of China's internal combustion engine industry should be market-oriented, increase the renovation of key projects, actively develop and promote advanced production technologies, increase resource utilization, accelerate the transformation of economic development direction, and improve the overall quality of the industry. In the future, China's internal combustion engine industry must speed up the pace of optimizing industrial restructuring, vigorously promote the integration of informatization and industrialization, foster internationally competitive brand names, and embark on a new journey toward becoming a powerful nation at the beginning of a century.

Tan Xuguang, chairman of the China Internal Combustion Engine Industry Association, reviewed in his report the development path of the internal combustion engine industry in China from scratch, from weak to strong, from small to large, from attachment to autonomy, self-reliance and self-reliance. He pointed out that under the premise that global manufacturing industry faces industrial upgrading and seeks new energy power, under the premise that China's equipment manufacturing industry should take a new type of industrialization, China's internal combustion engine industry faces difficulties in both market and technology. In the market, low-end diesel engine products have entered a difficult period of development. The development of small internal combustion engines has been constrained to a certain extent, and it is difficult to meet the needs of high-speed growth in the domestic and foreign markets. In the field of high-power diesel engines, it is urgent to introduce new technologies, digest, absorb, and innovate. To solve the problem of the rapid development of the shipbuilding industry and the slow supply of self-owned brands. In respect of technology upgrading, the focus of innovation in internal combustion engines is energy conservation and emission reduction, and the development momentum is diversified. The overall energy conservation and emission reduction standards and implementation schedule formulated by the country in the light of international R&D levels have brought a lot of pressure to the company.

Tan Xuguang said that the new council will guide the industry to actively respond to the dual challenges of market and technology, further emancipate the mind, change concepts, enhance new ideas for independent innovation, and take a new road to industrialization; continuously improve the energy saving and reduction of traditional internal combustion engines. Efficacy; Accelerate independent R&D of supporting power for self-owned brand passenger vehicles; Strengthen research on key common technologies, improve system integration and complete sets of equipment design and manufacturing capabilities; Establish own technical standards as soon as possible; Accelerate pace of asset restructuring, and improve independent brand enterprises The degree of concentration.
