The upgrading of domestic engine products is a top priority

Zhang Xiaojiu, vice president of the China Machinery Industry Federation, pointed out at the high-level forum on the internal combustion engine industry's entry into the WTO recently that there is still a considerable gap between the existing diesel engine technology and foreign products. We must redouble our efforts to strive to catch up with the international advanced level in 3-5 years. Therefore, we must implement a comprehensive approach to upgrading the engine and make it internationally competitive. This is an urgent task.
He said that from the commitment made by China's accession to the WTO, after 2003, the engine will be open to imports, only about 18% -20% of the tariff constraints. Then, whether it is the user or the car factory, we choose between about 18% of the price difference. Is it an imported engine or a domestic engine?
At present, the domestic production of large quantities of diesel engine emissions can only reach the Euro I standard more stably. To achieve the Euro II standard, we must do a lot of work, not to mention the Euro III, Euro IV, and so on. So we have to leave us with time. It is two or three years. We cannot ask the government and environmental protection agencies to lower standards to protect our business. If we want to shorten the gap with foreign countries as soon as possible, we must adopt multiple approaches such as Sino-foreign joint ventures, technology introduction, or technical consultation to achieve the full range of engines. Replacement.
The "High-level Forum on the Internal Combustion Engine Industry" sponsored by the China Internal Combustion Engine Industry Association was recently held in Xiangfan, Hubei Province. The leaders from the State Economic and Trade Commission and the China Machinery Industry Federation, the bosses of more than 40 large-scale engine companies in China, and representatives of some well-known international companies and research institutions attended the large-scale industry seminar. In response to a series of topics such as the survival, development, independent development, and technological advancement of China's internal combustion engine industry after China's accession to the WTO, the participants held in-depth discussions.
