From January to February 2011, the growth rate of automotive diesel engines was flat

According to the data from China's auto industry production and sales news, the production and sales volume of automotive diesel engines in February was 285,600 units and 332,900 units respectively, representing a year-on-year decrease of 9.96% and an increase of 5.51%. From January to February, the cumulative production and sales of vehicle diesel engines were 701,100 units and 728,300 units respectively, an increase of 1.19% and 7.83% year-on-year. It can be seen that the growth of Diesel engine sales is higher than the output, which may be due to the market's consumption of previous inventory.

In February, the production and sales volume of automotive diesel engines fell by 31.8% and 19.89% respectively. Due to the Spring Festival holiday, the overall decline in production and sales in February was not unexpected. Specifically for all companies, except for Dongfeng, which recorded a growth of 0.45% from the previous quarter, all other companies experienced declines to varying degrees. Shangchai’s shares had the largest decline, falling by 54.41% from the previous quarter.

From January to February, the top 20 manufacturers of diesel engines were: Yuchai Machinery, FAW, Weichai Holdings, Anhui Quanchai, Dongfeng, Kunming Yunnei, Huayuan Laidong, Dongfeng Chaochai, and China Heavy Industries. Steam, Jiangling Jiangling, Weichai Power Yangchai, Great Wall, Beiqi Foton, Qingling, Anhui Jianghuai, Nanjing Automobile, Dongfeng Motor Commercial Vehicle Company, Shanghai Diesel Engine Co., Ltd., Shanghai Hino and Chengdu Chengfa.

Among them, the sales volume of commercial vehicle company of Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd. increased by 112.75% year-on-year, far higher than the average increase of 7.83% in the industry. The growth rate of Anhui Jianghuai Automobile Co., Ltd. and Shandong Huayuan Laidong Internal Combustion Engine Co., Ltd. also exceeded 80%, which was 97.38% and 85.68%, respectively. While Yuchai Machinery, Anhui Quanchai, and Kunming Yunnei had different degrees of decline compared to the same period of last year, Anhui Quanchai experienced the largest decline, which was a 15.15% year-on-year decrease.

Among the top 20 sales companies, FAW, Sinotruk, Jiangxi Jiangling, Great Wall, Qingling, Anhui Jianghuai, Beiqi Futian, Nanjing Automobile, Dongfeng Motor Commercial Vehicle Company, Kunming Yunnei and Dongfeng Chaochai Self-matching situation. Kunming Yunnei and Dongfeng Chaochao have the least amount of self-distribution, with just over 70 units, followed by FAW Group, with a ratio of approximately 35% and Beiqi Foton at 56.54%. More than 90% of the remaining 7 companies' sales are self-provisioned, while all sales of Qingling Motors and Anhui Jianghuai Engines are domestic sales.

Zeng Sheyao, deputy general manager of the marketing center of Sinotruk Hangzhou Engine Factory, told the “Commercial Automotive News” reporter that Hangfa’s products were mainly sold domestically, and the export volume was relatively even, with about 4,000 units per month. Because the country has invested heavily in Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia and the central region, there is no obvious investment in the south. Therefore, the market share of Hangfa’s exports is not high, and the base number is also small, which does not reflect the market conditions.

Yuchai Machinery: In the first two months of the decline in the truck market, Yuchai's machines ranked first in the industry with sales of 133,700 units, but fell 13.49% year-on-year, far below the industry average growth rate of 7.83%. In Quanchai, Anhui. "Commercial Automotive News" reporter learned that from January to February, Yuchai's passenger car engines, work machines, agricultural machinery and ship engines all increased, but truck engine sales have declined, resulting in overall sales decline.

“This is not unrelated to the decline in the truck market.” Zhong Yuwei, deputy general manager of Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Co., Ltd., told the “Commercial Automotive News” reporter.

First, the performance of the commercial vehicle, especially the truck market, is highly related to the size of the investment. The year 2011 was the first year of the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan”. The “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” of various places had just passed in March and various construction projects began to be filed in March. The investment in fixed assets in January-February was declining compared with previous years. This has a greater impact on the commercial vehicle market, especially the truck market, and has curtailed some of the demand.

Secondly, from the end of last year to the present, the monetary contraction, interest rate increase, credit tightening, and state regulation have made it relatively difficult to apply for investment loans and car loans, which is also an effect.

Thirdly, heavy truck sales continued to grow rapidly from the second half of 2009 to the entire year of 2010. “The market has a lot of impulse in the first two years and this year's market is overdrawn,” said Zhong Yuwei.

Finally, the rapid development of the heavy-duty truck market last year made many OEMs and distributors worry about the re-emergence of resource shortages. “Dealers worry that there will be no car sales during the peak season. The OEMs are worried that the market is good but they cannot find the engine loading. Therefore, manufacturers and distributors distributed goods in advance in the fourth quarter of last year, but many cars are still in the hands of OEMs and distributors. From January to February, the market is digesting this part of the inventory. Therefore, the sales of engine companies are declining.” Zhong Yuwei analyzed.

"Bus and agricultural machinery have not decreased compared with previous years, but they are not particularly good. The industry as a whole has grown slightly. The overall situation is not as good as expected," said Zhong Yuwei.

Deutz FAW Dachai: Real demand In March and April, China FAW Group ranked second among the engine sales in the first two months. From January to February, sales increased by 15.6% year-on-year, and about 10% of the 10.19 million units sold. Half is used for self-provisioning, and the volume of goods accounts for about 65%. According to "Commercial Automotive News" reporter, Deutz FAW Dachai's sales in the first two months of this year increased by 20% to 30% over the same period of last year, but sales in March were not optimistic.

“Last year, the sales of the whole industry were very hot. In January and February of this year, the automaker needs to prepare some inventory for March and April, so our sales are better.” Wang Xiaopeng, Marketing Department, Deutz FAW (Dalian) Diesel Engine Co., Ltd. Tell Commercial Auto News reporter. At present, Deutz FAW Dachai’s sales in March are worse than expected. Wang Xiaopeng believes that the entire vehicle market may not be optimistic enough because the consumption of inventory in January and February will be consumed, resulting in a decline in production in March.

At the same time, Wang Xiaopeng believes that the sales data for January-February are not very accurate and do not reflect the market conditions well, so that the sales data of March and April can be used to understand the context of the market. “In January or February, the OEMs will purchase a large amount of inventory in order to prepare inventory for March. Therefore, the data may look good, but there are also false components.” Wang Xiaopeng believes that if the market performance in March is still very good, then at least The market conditions in six months are good.

Weichai: Strong growth in overseas markets In the first two months of engine sales rankings, Weichai sold the third-ranked diesel engine with a total of 87,600 units, an increase of 5.62% over the same period of last year. The contribution of Lanchen Power's second-generation engines and overseas markets was indispensable.

In December 2010, at the 2011 business conference held in Jinan, Shandong, Tan Xuguang, chairman of Weichai Power Co., Ltd. pointed out that the engine business segment should be built to become a global leading, full-range, full-field power supplier.

“We have released a lot of new products and business policies at the business conference. Weichai has advantages in the field of 10-12 liters of engines, especially since the launch of the Lanqing Power II generation last year, and its product advantages have become increasingly apparent.” Weichai Power Brand Planning Liu Wei, the deputy minister, told Commercial Auto News. Last year, the sales volume of over 10 litres of Weichai engines exceeded 600,000 units, and the scale has obvious advantages. “With such a large sales volume, we can obtain a large amount of market data and apply it to the process of product improvement. This is also an advantage,” said Liu Wei.

On the other hand, Weichai Power performed well in overseas markets. 10 to 12 liters of engine is the mainstream configuration in overseas markets, and this is in itself the advantage of Weichai. “Overseas markets have little demand for mid- and heavy-duty engines below 10 liters. At the same time, our product usage and results exceed the expectations of overseas customers, and the performance and quality of the engine exceeds their original perceptions.” Liu Xie analyzed. Therefore, at present, the market share of Weichai in the major export regions is increasing rapidly.
