The two most recent events involving Foton Motor involved motorist Germany.
On September 5th, one of Germany’s most famous museums, the Schöbel Traffic and Technology Museum, collected the Auman ETX heavy-duty trucks produced by Foton. This car, Futian company has complete independent intellectual property rights and independent brands. The museum has collected 620 representative products of the world's transportation industry in the past 100 years. Before that, there was only one of China's “Progress†steam locomotives produced in the 1970s. The curator said that the Auman ETX was collected because it represented a new level of development of China's commercial vehicle industry.
On November 17, Wang Qishan, mayor of Beijing, met with Cai Che, chairman of DaimlerChrysler AG, in Beijing. Cai Che introduced the cooperation plan with Futian, and expressed that by strengthening cooperation and continuous efforts, he will certainly succeed in the Chinese market. As early as 2004, Foton and Daimler-Chrysler signed a memorandum of cooperation in commercial vehicles.
These two things show the status and influence of Foton Motor in the automotive industry from one side.
10 years of production and sales of 1.8 million commercial vehicles
Established in 1996, Foton Corporation focused its attention on thousands of ordinary people from the very beginning, making every effort to build China's commercial vehicles and providing people with tools to become rich.
In the past 10 years, Foton has created a new record for the development of China's auto industry, accumulatively producing 1.8 million commercial vehicles and becoming the largest commercial vehicle manufacturer in China. Enterprises accumulatively achieved sales revenue of more than 900 billion yuan and paid over 3 billion yuan in taxes. If calculated according to the proportion of upstream and downstream industries in the automobile manufacturing industry, Foton Motor has formed a driving effect of nearly 400 billion yuan on the upstream and downstream industries.
During the development process, Futian took advantage of the state-owned stock assets and annexed and reorganized more than a dozen state-owned enterprises. This not only improved the quality and control of state-owned capital, but also directly solved the employment problem of more than 10,000 employees in state-owned enterprises. Upstream and downstream industries such as rubber and rubber indirectly provided more than 100,000 jobs. In particular, 1.8 million commercial vehicles are mainly sold to rural and urban and rural markets, which means that they have provided millions of tools and jobs for the community to become rich.
Fukuda Motors has allowed countless people to realize their dream of becoming rich, and countless double laborers hold up the heavy Fortune brand. In June 2006, the world's authoritative brand value assessment agency released the "China's 500 Most Valuable Brands" report. Foton Motor ranked fourth in the automotive industry with a brand value of RMB 13.968 billion and became the first brand of commercial vehicles in China.
Start with the world
In people's minds, commercial vehicles are thick and heavy. As everyone knows, compared with some passenger cars, commercial vehicles have higher technological content and higher requirements for independent innovation.
Fukuda's innovation practice over the past 10 years has resulted in the development mode of "integrated knowledge, linked innovation". The so-called integrated knowledge is to fully integrate, digest, and absorb the world's advanced knowledge in strategy, technology, marketing, and other aspects, form a company-specific knowledge assets, and form the company's core competitiveness. On this basis, it broke the relatively independent innovation approach of a single company, and extended to the entire industry's upstream and downstream companies, as well as related industries and even international companies for joint cooperation, integrated innovation.
In April this year, Foton signed a strategic alliance agreement with Weichai Power in China, BOSCH in Germany, and Austrian AVL in Austria. Quartet will regularly discuss the dynamics of the domestic heavy truck market, determine their respective market development strategies, and jointly develop and design leading international automotive power products. .
This is just one example of Fukuda's good integration. In terms of research and development, they cooperated with U.S. Lotus Corporation for integration and verification; cooperated with Japanese MIM Design Company for automotive modeling and design; cooperated with Delphi Corporation for engine control; cooperated with Visteon Corporation for interior and exterior decoration and verification; and U.S. Eaton. The company carries out hybrid development cooperation for passenger cars. In addition to the cooperation with DaimlerChrysler, a commercial vehicle strategic partner, Foton is planning to establish a joint venture with another international partner, Cummins, and will produce two new engine products in 2008.
Talent is the core and main body of independent innovation of enterprises. Futian has absorbed more than 2,000 management and technical talents from around the world, including more than 20 experts from the United States, Japan, Germany, and France, and more than 20 returned overseas students. Futian Automotive Engineering Institute alone has more than 1,000 technical personnel and more than one third of them have a master's degree or above. The company also set up an R&D center in Japan and recruited Japanese experts to undertake development and design tasks.
At present, Foton has established autonomy consisting of 6 levels including the company's Automotive Engineering Research Institute, overseas R&D centers, domestic and foreign universities and research institutes, foreign professional R&D institutes, secondary factory research institutes, and supply chain synchronized R&D institutions. Innovation system. In the past 10 years, Futian has raised RMB 3 billion for technological innovation, resulting in 152 patents. The contribution rate of new products has reached over 80%, and product design, development, and replacement cycles have been shortened by 3-5 years.
Took the lead in growing into an international brand
In March of last year, Foton announced in Beijing that its Olympic Bell Transcend and Olympic Bell MRT light trucks were simultaneously listed in 10 major cities across the country, breaking through the existing Japanese Isuzu product technology platform, and many improvements were initiated in domestic light trucks.
In the field of heavy trucks, Fukuda is equally extraordinary. The Auman ETX is a heavy-duty truck developed by Futian Automotive after three years of integration with European research and development institutions. It has been evaluated by European engineers based on the European standards and surpassed European standards to reach the world's advanced level.
Fukuda has created a record of selling more than 40,000 Auman heavy trucks a year, and has become a key product of Foton. In the past three years or more, Foton has achieved the research and development of eight brands and the replacement of new ones, which has driven the technological advancement and upgrading of China's commercial vehicle industry. All of Futian's more than 400 products are all the result of independent innovation. All have their own brands and intellectual property rights.
Foton Motor has been recognized by the international market, and has established CKD factories in Pakistan, Ukraine, Turkey, etc. Since the export of automobiles in 2002, it has achieved a total of more than 20,000 cars exported, and has earned more than 100 million U.S. dollars of export earnings, becoming the export volume of commercial vehicles in China. The largest company.
The goal of Foton Motor is to produce and sell 1 million automobiles a year, export 200,000 vehicles, and achieve sales revenue of 80 billion yuan by 2010, becoming a world-class automobile manufacturing enterprise.
