Auto parts industry urgently needs to improve the image of "Made in China"

Undoubtedly, in the global automotive industry chain, "Made in China" has actually become a platform for the interactive integration of the superior elements of various countries. However, the financial crisis once again raised trade protectionism, China’s auto parts exports face the strongest trade barriers in history, and “Made in China” has also become a justification for protectionist practices in some countries.

"Made in China" auto parts exports are not optimistic

In 2008, the export value of China's auto products was US$35.063 billion, which was a year-on-year increase of 24.44, only a year-on-year decrease of 24.79%. From January to September this year, there was a year-on-year drop in exports. The export volume of automotive products in the first nine months ($257.81 billion) also fell by 33.57% year-on-year.

According to data from the General Administration of Customs, in the first three quarters of 2009, the decline in the export of automobiles and parts exceeded 20%. The prospects in the fourth quarter are also not optimistic. The export data of customs offices across the country shows that they are not satisfactory.

From January to September of this year, Chongqing's auto parts exports amounted to 66.74 million US dollars, a year-on-year decrease of 33.1%; Zhejiang's auto parts exports fell by more than 20% year-on-year. Zhejiang Jinhua Customs statistics, although the monthly export volume of Jinhua auto parts in September was 18.62 million US dollars, hit a new high this month, but still unable to recover the passive situation of cumulative exports fell by 31.5% year-on-year in the first three quarters of this year. At the same time, the export volume of auto parts of Guangzhou Customs also fell by 20% in the first three quarters.

Under the impact of the financial crisis, China's auto parts exports face three major regions - Europe, the United States, Japan are facing the automotive market shrinks. This has led to a weak demand in the auto parts market.

According to sources from relevant parties in the Ministry of Commerce, China’s auto parts exports to the North American market fell by 28.4% from January to September, and the European market dropped by 37.3%, with the Russian market dropping by 73.4%.

The big sticks of trade protectionism frequently wave toward "Made in China"

In addition to the impact of the financial crisis on the export of auto parts, trade protectionism is another impediment to Chinese auto parts exports. In the first half of this year alone, China’s trade disputes amounted to approximately US$8.3 billion, far exceeding the US$6.2 billion in 2008. Tires, fasteners, wheels, and bearings are the subject of frequent trade protectionist complaints.

Li Xiaoqing, secretary general of the Wheels Committee of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, said: “The multinational car companies have adopted the policy of spare parts global procurement, and many auto parts companies in the world have to fight against the market with inexpensive Chinese parts and components and have to carry out the anti-dumping slogan. Trade protection, in order to obtain living space."

Under such circumstances, the Ministry of Commerce, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Finance, the General Administration of Customs, and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine have jointly issued the "Opinions on Promoting the Sustainable and Healthy Development of China's Automobile Products Exports." The comments point out that the export of automobiles and components will strive to achieve an average annual growth of 10% from 2009 to 2011; by 2015, the export of automobiles and components will reach US$ 85 billion with an average annual growth of 20%; and by 2020, the automobile and zero will be realized. Component exports account for 10% of the world's total trade in automotive products.

This is a good news for China's auto parts and components industry, especially for large vehicle companies and component companies that export a relatively large amount of goods, such as components for exporting driving systems, and other types of auto parts that export a lot.

Auto parts "Made in China" lack of competitiveness

China's auto industry has a long history of heavy-duty parts for remanufactured vehicles, which has caused the inadequacies of the parts and components industry and the current situation of maladjustment. With the rapid development of China's auto industry in recent years, foreign giants have taken over the Chinese market, which undoubtedly worsens the fragile parts and components industry. The inadequacy of national industrial policies and the incompleteness of relevant policies and laws also restrict the development of the industry to some extent. The lack of core competitiveness once distorted the process of industrialization, and the route to exchange technology for the market has also gone further and narrower.

According to sources from relevant departments of the Ministry of Commerce, about 50% of China's entire auto parts export trade is processing trade, with low added value. In addition, the majority of small and medium-sized export enterprises do not have the ability to further enhance their research and development. There are still some companies whose core technologies are still controlled by foreign parties. The Chinese side cannot benefit from the technological field.

At present, China's auto and auto parts exports are still relatively small, and the proportion of global auto and auto parts exports is also very small (according to Mr. Chen Guangzu, China’s auto parts exports in 2008 and 2007 are global Only about 3% to 4% of the total. If China achieves 10% of the world's total automobile trade in exports of automobiles and components by 2020, while enjoying the benefits of exports to enterprises and countries, it will also be more vulnerable to the international economy due to the increasing degree of globalization. Impact of change.

China's auto parts exports face "green exam"

Recently, from the European Union’s anti-dumping investigation on China’s aluminum wheels, to the United States’ implementation of “special protection” measures on Chinese tires, China and the European Union and the United States have experienced constant trade friction in the auto parts sector. Some heads of auto parts companies worry that the EU may block access to Chinese parts and components with WVTA certification.

Relevant experts say that for a long time, China's auto parts companies have been pursuing profits in a one-sided manner and disregarding environmental protection requirements is very common. Nowadays, the EU environmental protection storm for automotive products is getting more and more severe, and Chinese auto parts companies are facing an unprecedented “green exam”.

The European Union implements the Whole Vehicle Type Certification (WVTA) system for the production and sale of domestic automotive products. Apart from the basic performance and quality control system of complete vehicles and parts, the certification also covers the dismantling technology and waste of automobiles and parts and components companies. Parts recycling technology, as well as reducing the use of hazardous materials put forward requirements. According to the requirements of the environmental protection projects in the WVTA certification, the contents of lead, mercury, polybrominated biphenyl and polybrominated diphenyl ether must not exceed the exceptions specified in the exemption list (2008/689/EC) for all automobiles and components sold in EU countries. 1000mg/kg, cadmium content can not exceed 100mg/kg. From January 1, 2015, the recovery rate of auto parts shall not be less than 95%, and the re-use rate shall not be less than 85%. In addition, in accordance with the relevant environmental protection requirements, non-metallic materials used in automobiles must have a clear material identification. At the same time, the regulations on the annual leakage of automotive air-conditioning refrigerants, the emission of harmful gases and greenhouse gases in engine exhaust gas are obviously more stringent than those in other developed countries.

"Made in China" of auto parts must go through this complicated certification if it wants to go global. The strict standards from the auto maturing market have become major non-trade barriers for auto parts companies in China. The Chinese automotive industry, which was born on the basis of poverty and dilemma, has been going through many decades and will continue to make strides for the rest of the year. The “Made in China” image of the parts and components industry will also gradually be accepted and accepted by the world in the years to come.

This 30-second advertisement is as solemnly announced to the world as it was 60 years ago. "Made in China" has sounded since then!
