FAW Xichai Forms High-end Advantages through Scientific and Technological Innovation

Reporters learned from the FAW Wuxi Diesel Factory recently held "Xichai Eighth Technology Conference," the company adhere to the implementation of the "technology-driven" strategy, to create a grasp of advanced diesel engine technology research and development team, and established Internationally-developed independent R&D system has become the serial diesel engine production enterprise with the largest displacement and the widest power coverage in the same industry in China. It has formed a high-end advantage in the fierce market competition. In the past three years, the total sales of xichai machines reached 1.1 million units, and the contribution rate of new products increased from 25% to 78%.

“Enterprise competition depends on products, product competition depends on innovation, and innovation competition depends on talents. In recent years, our company has achieved a continuous transformation from a “follower type” to a “leadership type” in the fierce market competition, and the key lies in the continuous development. Always open their eyes to see tomorrow, see the world, see the market, continue to increase investment in science and technology, pay attention to the building of talents, create a scientific research environment, improve the incentive and innovation policy, and establish an independent innovation system that is in line with international standards.” Xie Chai Director Qian Hengrong Deeply touched.

Increasing scientific and technological input and creating a scientific research environment are effective measures for Xichai to achieve technological innovation, product innovation, market innovation and high-end advantages. In the past three years, taking scientific and technological innovation as a breakthrough point and independent innovation as the main line of development, on the one hand, it has persisted in the innovative thinking based on me, invested 2.3 billion yuan in technological transformation and established various types of scientific research and development platforms; on the other hand, it focused on collaborative innovation. , Integrate all kinds of resources at home and abroad, establish various forms of cooperation, accelerate the development of high-end new products, and build China's largest "power supermarket."

In order to enable researchers to master the world's engine cutting-edge technologies, R&D personnel are sent to internationally renowned engine research institutes for study and practice, foreign engine experts are invited to Xichai, and scientific and technical personnel conduct thematic exchanges so that scientists and technicians are always on the The dynamism of technology finds its way forward. In terms of salary management, it is the implementation of a tilt policy for scientific and technical personnel. Through the evaluation of the core talents in non-leadership positions, the technicians are given career development channels, which fully stimulates the innovation passion of scientific and technological personnel. Particularly worth mentioning is that Xichai is also in the R&D special zone to carry out management reforms, complete the reengineering of scientific research projects, and establish a functional matrix project operation system, which enhances the awareness of team crisis and greatly increases the project completion rate and new product survival rate.

According to briefings, in the past three years, Xichai has been innovating around the market, innovating with competitors, and innovating internationally. It has successfully developed two-stage supercharged vehicle engines and diesel-electric hybrid power. technology. Electronic control technology, vibration and noise analysis, overhead camshaft cylinder head, engine braking technology, and fuel-saving technology have also made breakthroughs. At present, Xichai possesses more than 50 core technologies; among them, Aowei 11-liter engine (6DM) jointly developed with FAW Technology Center not only has complete independent property rights, but also possesses 3 invention patents and 5 utility model patents. CA6DM diesel engine won the "China Automobile Industry Science and Technology Award" special award, CA6DM2-42E3 diesel engine won the "2010 Green Power Gold Award", "high-quality J6 heavy-duty trucks and heavy-duty diesel engine independent research and development and technological innovation" project won the National Science and Technology Progress Award Awards.
