Following the 4 trillion investment plan, the country once again launched a strategic plan related to the national economy and people's livelihood. Recently, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council held a conference on the development of the western region in Beijing, which systematically summarized the achievements and experiences gained in the large-scale development of the western region in the past 10 years, and comprehensively analyzed the domestic and international situation and new opportunities and challenges in the development of the western region. We will study and deploy various tasks for the further development of the western region in the coming period.
Among them, the main development goals for the next 10 years include: a major step toward comprehensive economic strength in the western region, more complete infrastructure, and the formation of a modern industrial system. The country has built an important energy base, a deep processing base for resources, an equipment manufacturing base and strategic Emerging industrial bases and so on.
On July 20, an auto analyst, Gong Yunan, said in an exclusive interview with this reporter: “As the country continues to further promote the western development strategy, domestic heavy truck companies will have unlimited business opportunities in the areas of infrastructure construction, such as construction vehicles and dump trucks. Heavy trucks, such as tractors, will also play an important role in the development of the western region."
In the past 10 years, the comprehensive economic strength in the western region has greatly increased. The regional GDP has more than quadrupled from 10 years ago, and the economic growth rate is higher than the national average. Breakthrough progress was made in infrastructure construction. A number of landmark projects such as the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, West-East Gas Pipeline, and West-to-East Power Transmission were successively completed, and a transportation network that spans east and west and runs through the north and south was initially formed. Obviously, infrastructure is an important guarantee for the development of the western region.
While affirming achievements, some deficiencies should also attract sufficient attention. Although the infrastructure conditions in the western region have been significantly improved than in the past, there is still a big gap compared with the needs of economic and social development and the eastern region. Railways and highway networks are thin, and the total mileage of comprehensive transportation facilities only accounts for 1/3 of the country. The density of transportation networks is only 1/2 of the national average. Most of the townships that do not pass through the road are concentrated in the western region; more water conservancy facilities are owed It is still an important factor that restricts the development of the western region. It is not difficult to see that infrastructure construction still needs to be deepened.
The National Development and Reform Commission recently announced that the state plans to start 23 new key projects this year in the development of the western region, with a total investment of 682.2 billion yuan. The project covers railways, highways, airport construction, as well as power, water conservancy, and coal mines. In this regard, Gong Yunan optimistically stated that this will be another important strategic investment by the country following the 4 trillion investment.
During the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan†period, the central government will continue to tilt toward the western region on major infrastructure projects, and it will continue to tilt toward the western region in transfer payments and investment arrangements.
Construction vehicles benefit
Gong Yunan believes that in the new round of large-scale development of the western region, with the country increasing investment in infrastructure construction, there will be great opportunities for domestic heavy truck companies, especially the Steyr series of heavy truck products. Obvious competitive advantage, its high off-road nature, high bearing capacity, high passivity, there is no other product in domestic heavy truck industry to replace at present, especially engineering vehicle.
In his view, from 1997 to 1998, the domestic heavy-duty truck market was still in its incubation period. The annual sales volume was about 30,000; after the Asian financial crisis in 1998, the state increased investment, which mainly involved road construction, which led to heavy trucks. The first take-off of the industry; from 2007 to 2008, the heavy-duty truck industry entered the period of dormancy again; since 2009, the national investment of 4 trillion yuan has contributed to the second takeoff of the heavy-duty truck industry. In the next 10 years, as the country further promotes the strategy of developing the western region and increases investment in infrastructure construction, it will surely promote the development of the heavy truck industry.
The heavy truck companies in the western region will have more opportunities, including Shaanxi Auto, SAIC Iveco Hongyan and Bei Ben heavy trucks. First of all, these automobile enterprises have obvious geographic advantages. They understand the car environment and the consumption environment in the west. They can take the lead in R&D and promotion of applicable models. Secondly, the Steyr platform heavy trucks of these companies are more efficient than their counterparts. Other domestic heavy truck brands are more suitable for the western region.
With the deepening of the western development, the exchange of materials between the east and the west will become increasingly frequent, which will promote the development of the logistics and transportation industry. This will provide considerable opportunities for tractors, tractor-trailers and trucks. While Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Qinghai and other regions are rich in mineral resources, the demand for mine dump trucks and other special vehicles will gradually increase in the process of resource development. This will undoubtedly be a feast for the heavy truck industry.
Development must be cautious
However, one must face the reality that the development gap between the western region and the eastern region is still relatively large. In 2009, per capita GDP, disposable income of urban residents, and rural residents’ net income were only 45% and 68% of the eastern region, respectively. , 53%. The western region is still the most backward region in China, and it is a “short board†in the coordinated development of our country. Heavy-duty truck companies must be cautious about whether they want to realize their value in the economically underdeveloped western region, whether it is product development or market promotion.
Gong Yunan proposed some useful suggestions for heavy truck companies aiming at the western market: On the one hand, the products launched by auto enterprises should avoid the homogenization phenomenon. The models must have differences and geographical characteristics, and they must meet China's national conditions and be suitable. The local geographical environment (ie the car environment). On the other hand, the environment in the western region is relatively fragile. The products of heavy-duty truck companies must be full of articles on environmental protection and energy conservation, reduce pollution to the local environment, and must not make the heavy trucks as production materials destroy the environment while creating revenues. Not worth the candle. Finally, as decision makers and leaders of heavy truck companies, they should make corresponding adjustments in policies. While introducing products that adapt to the local car environment, they must fully take into account the purchasing power of consumers in economically underdeveloped areas and give them Corresponding policy discounts.
Looking into the future, facing the development of the western region for the next 10 years, it can be described as opportunities and challenges for the heavy truck companies. In order to have a piece of cake, any company must do enough homework, otherwise it will inevitably lead to “a fight over the waterâ€. Reprinted or excerpted without permission.
