In December 2009, BAIC Group acquired Saab technology and intellectual property for US$200 million. After a 23-month period, Beiqi B205/235, a 2.0L engine developed and manufactured by Saab technology, was successfully digested. Beiqi ushered in the “heartbeat momentâ€. ".
According to Donald Gray, former global general manager of General Motors Powertrain and a foreign expert consultant to the Beijing Municipal Government, this is a miracle. It uses 50% less than the usual time limit!
Saab is the world's first automotive manufacturer to apply turbocharger technology to its engines, and its engine enjoys an international reputation. Beiqi's acquisition of Saab technology was also considered a “crab eating†at the time. However, there was no lack of criticism in the industry. “Xu Heyi braves the thunder!†If the technology cannot be converted into a product, the product cannot be converted into a commodity. It will be a failure.
Today, the thunderstorms disappeared and confusion was clarified. Under the witness of the deputy mayor of Beijing, Mr. Lou Zhongwen, the two engines based on Saab technology made a large-scale conference for high-profile announcements by BAIC.
At the press conference that followed, in the face of the aggressive questioning of reporters, Ma Tongli, general manager of Beiqi Powertrain, and his deputy were well-informed.
"In addition to Beiqi's own use of the engine, is there any plan for the complete vehicle matching with other domestic brands?"
“Our thinking is: based on BAIC, facing the country and going global. After BAIC acquires Saab, including vehicle and engine technology, many companies in China have expressed their willingness to negotiate and cooperate with engines based on Saab technology. Our Group System The Beijing Jeep factory was started as a military off-road vehicle, its SUV was to carry our turbocharged, and the Swedish Saab automobile factory also hoped that we would send the engine back to them. This is the future of our powertrain. Difficult tasks make us happy and a challenge."
"How to ensure that the quality of your product is equal to or better than Saab?"
“One of our introduction is product technology, the second is the process of product development, and the third is the quality assurance system, that is, we not only got the product, but also got the method, and the method can guarantee the quality. We also hired many people Saab experts Together with us to do development and transformation work, we can tell you that at present our improvement and upgrading of the engine is aimed at the European market in 2015, and we are not building an 'existing house' but an 'off house'! The advanced nature of the level is self-evident."
It is reported that today's off-line B205 turbocharged engine's main technical performance indicators such as power, unit fuel consumption, and acceleration have surpassed the national targets. “The above three indicators can now be consulted on the data of joint-venture brands and imported cars sold in China in 2009. In comparison, our B205 engines rank in the top three, and some of the performance ranks first.†Beiqi Power Company The chief engineer said.
By the end of 2013, the powertrain will reach production capacity and will have an annual production capacity of 400,000 engines and 600,000 transmissions. It will configure a strong "Chinese heart" for BAIC's own brand cars.
At the ceremony for the offline production of its own brand engine, Beijing Automobile's chief executive Xu Heyi announced in a high-profile manner: In the first 10 months of this year, BAIC Group’s operating income and total profit have ranked fourth in China, and its growth rate ranks among the top five automotive groups in China. First, operational quality has entered the first camp of the automotive industry. It is expected that the sales revenue will reach 200 billion yuan and the profit will reach 15 billion yuan in the whole year, which will make it a good start for the 12th Five-Year Plan.
