Leading enterprises drive Hubei auto axle industry upgrade


Recently, the new axle detection test stand of Hubei Axle Co., Ltd. is in a critical debugging stage. Technician Xiao Shi said: “With this device, we can perform real-time computer monitoring of the axle speed, temperature, and decibels, and the product quality will be much higher than the industry standard.”

The predecessor of Hubei Cheqiao was the Gongyin County Machine Tool Factory. It was built in 1978 and went public in 1997, becoming the "first axle of the axle." In 2002, Hubei Cheqiao restructured itself into a private enterprise and made clear the direction of development --- to build the largest bus bridge production base. The company then stepped up the pace of independent research and development. With the strong funds listed and funded, it cooperated with universities and research institutes such as Wuhan University of Technology and Yangtze University to carry out large-scale technological transformation. At that time, it developed a technology project with international advanced level of nearly 30 years. One, and introduced a large number of world-class processing and testing equipment, formed an annual production capacity of 100,000 sets of various types of automobile front and rear axles, and 240,000 sets of main and driven spiral bevel gears, becoming Beiqi Futian, Dongfeng, Jinlong, Yutong, Chunlan, Yuejin and other dozens of leading manufacturers of axles for bus manufacturers.

In 2003, with the acceleration of the industrial upgrading of the axle industry in Hubei, more mid- to low-end product lines were transferred. In a short period of one year, more than a dozen private auto parts production companies supporting development have emerged like mushrooms. . The public security county where the Cheju bridge in Hubei Province is keenly aware of this phenomenon has begun to plan and support the development of the auto parts industry, which mainly focuses on the use of automobile axles, in terms of policies, funds, and talents.

In order to seek the overall benefits of the industrial cluster, the public security county will focus its investment attraction on the main product supporting projects, shorten the procurement radius and reduce operating costs, so that the main components needed for the production of axles will be supported in the county; The bank-enterprise matchmaking meeting is also held every year. The auto parts enterprises are highly recommended to the financial sector. At present, the financial institutions increase the credit sales of the auto parts industry in the county by more than 30%; at the same time, the public security county also insists on the introduction of foreign companies to enhance research and development capabilities. , To achieve the above-scale enterprises have specialized scientific research personnel, moderate-scale enterprises have specialized R & D departments, leading enterprises have standardized R & D centers, R & D capital investment to reach more than 3% of sales revenue. This series of measures has effectively promoted the fission and expansion of the auto parts industry in the county, lengthened the industrial chain, and enabled the concept of a leading enterprise to bring out an industrial cluster.

“Only in the first half of this year, the axles in Hubei developed 117 new products, which accounted for 60% of the total sales of the bridges. At present, the company’s products have entered the high-end market of the domestic automobile industry, and the passenger car axles account for 16% of the national market share. In an interview with reporters, Liao Junyong, Assistant General Manager of Hubei Axle Bridge, said that in 2006, the total industrial output value of the axles in Hubei was 413 million yuan, and the sales revenue was 334 million yuan, directly to the public security county auto parts companies. Provide a market share of 129 billion yuan, and drive the local parts and components cooperation supporting production and sales of 400 million yuan.

Driven by Hubei Axle Co., Ltd., the public auto parts industry in the county has achieved considerable development. Has formed a four-bridge bridge enterprises in Hubei Cheqiao, Jingzhou Axle, Jingjiangyuan axles, three public axles as a leader, and other companies around the industry chain supporting the coordinated production of auto parts industry cluster development pattern. At present, the county’s auto parts enterprises have grown to 43 and employ more than 4,300 people, with an output value of 1.38 billion yuan, sales revenue of 1.08 billion yuan, and profits and taxes of nearly 100 million yuan. Production, sales, and profits and taxes account for 32.1% of the county's total. , 26% and 29.8%.
