Under the background of the collective promotion of power upgrades by multinational companies such as Ford, Volkswagen, Volvo, etc., SAIC began to catch up. On April 8, SAIC Motor Passenger Vehicles announced a new generation of direct-injection engines developed jointly with General Motors, and named the brand new powertrain "CUBE-TECH".
The powertrain includes not only the MGE series 1.8L, 1.8T, and 2.0T engines independently developed by SAIC, but also the 1.0-1.5L SGE series engine jointly developed by SAIC and GM. It also includes a TST 6-speed dual clutch transmission, and a TST7 speed. Double clutch transmission, and a new generation of engine start-stop system.
"After mastering the two core technologies of engine and transmission, SAIC can better control the speed and pace of vehicle replacement and take the initiative in market competition," said Tian Yongqiu, an independent auto analyst.
Breakthrough of core technology to be realized <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> Statistics from China Association of Automobile Manufacturers show that from January to February, the share of Chinese branded passenger cars fell 4.8 percentage points from the same period of last year and the decline was more serious In the reality of the lack of core technology, it is difficult for independent brands to break through.
In order to achieve a breakthrough in technology, SAIC and GM jointly announced the launch of a joint development of a new generation of high-performance powertrains in the world in August 2010, including high-efficiency small-capacity SGE series engines and dual-clutch transmissions. Technical standards are aligned with multinational companies in order to achieve an upward trend in their own branded products. This is also the first time that Chinese car companies have jointly developed with the international large-scale automobile group in the core technology of powertrain and shared intellectual property rights on a global scale, indicating that Chinese car companies are truly moving toward high value-added industries including R&D. Chain front end.
According to reports, SGE series has a total of 11 engines, displacement from 1.0L to 1.5L, including three-cylinder, four-cylinder and supercharged and non-supercharged and other different types of power range from 56 kilowatts to 123 kilowatts, torque range from 95 cattle · M to 250 N·m. The first production application models include leading products such as 1.0TSIDI, 1.4TSIDI, 1.5TSIDI turbocharged in-cylinder direct injection engine, and the engine structure can also be compatible with hybrid systems and other mixed fuels.
The release of CUBE-TECH powertrain made SAIC the first car company in China to apply its mid-cylinder direct injection technology to medium-to-large-sized, medium- and small-displacement engines. According to SAIC's plans, MGE series engines will be used in Roewe and MG brand mid-to-high-end cars and SUV models, while the rest of the next-generation Roewe 550, 350 and MG models will be equipped with SGE series engines.
It is reported that in the next five years, SAIC will be fully equipped with new powertrains in its next-generation products, with a view to achieving the overall goal of “carbon emission reduction by more than 20%, dynamic improvement by more than 20%, and economic improvement by more than 20%â€.
The main models brewing "core change"
"Having mastered the two core technologies of engine and gearbox means that SAIC can better control the speed and pace of vehicle replacement and occupy the initiative in the market competition." Tian Yongqiu believes.
An industry insider who has long been concerned with SAIC passenger vehicles told the reporter that the Roewe 550 was taken as an example. Since its launch in 2008, the monthly sales volume has been close to 10,000 units, which is also considered to be a popular phenomenon. However, due to the problem of replacement speed, the latter stage Sales have been affected.
"Roewe 350 is also the same." The above-mentioned sources believe that from the sales point of view, although the Roewe 350 is currently performing well, but if the replacement speed is faster, the sales performance will be better. At present, many independent brands have introduced 1.5T models. Before March of this year, the Roewe 350 has only 1.5L naturally aspirated models available, and its product line is not rich enough.
Prior to the release of the powertrain, the MG5 was the first to introduce the 1.5T6AT model at the end of last year, achieving a complete upgrade of the powertrain. In the first two months of this year, MG5 cumulative sales reached 1529 units, an increase of 38%. Just recently, the Roewe 350 also introduced the 1.5T version, and the Roewe 550 1.5T version is also expected to be launched this year.
At present, models equipped with more advanced powertrains have become a hot spot for consumption. According to a survey report released by market research company Nielsen, more than 75% of users will tend to take the "T" model when buying a car. At the same time, 80% of consumers will pay a certain "buy" for turbocharged technology. Premium. "
Utilizing the technical advantages of the new powertrain, SAIC passenger vehicles are also focusing on the division between the Roewe brand and the MG brand, trying to differentiate the two brands based on two different market segments and maximizing market share. .
For SAIC, although the average price of the product has exceeded 100,000 yuan, profitability has always been a shortcoming that it urgently needs to resolve. The release of the new generation of core powertrains can lead SAIC Motor's breakthrough in the brand and thus gain high added value. It is worth looking forward to.
