More than car companies also earn the most recognized top ten auto parts suppliers

Every year, among the world’s top 500 companies, car-related companies account for a considerable proportion. Well-known car companies like Toyota and Volkswagen are certainly familiar with each other, but they are still far from supporting the auto industry's size in the global economy. , Parts suppliers are often the industry's "mainstay." In this issue, Xiao Bian will take you to know what industry giants behind these stations are operating and what applications are there in China?

● Robert Bosch - Germany

Bosch is the world's largest supplier of automotive parts. In 2017, the world’s top 500 companies ranked 76, and it can be said that it is a pillar company of the German automotive industry. To be precise, Bosch is not an auto parts supplier, and the revenue from the use of auto parts accounts for only about half of its total revenue. We are familiar with the engineering, tool vehicles, Bosch can also have fun, covering the construction site, mines, airports, and even high-end toys. Basically, key components can be found at Bosch as long as they are powered by electricity.

In the field of passenger vehicles, Bosch mainly produces batteries, filters, spark plugs, brake products, sensors, gasoline and diesel systems, starters and generators. ESP vehicle body stabilization systems widely used in China are mostly from Bosch in the country. Factories such as Bosch Suzhou and United Automotive Electronics. In addition, as a big player in the field of automatic control, Bosch is also in the global forefront in the field of autonomous driving, but the big guy is relatively low-key, after all, people just need to let auto manufacturers feel that they are on the list, not very Care about their influence in the minds of consumers.

ZF-Germany

ZF is also an important supplier of auto parts in Germany. In 2017, the world’s top 500 companies ranked 263. We generally referred to as “ZF”. Different from Bosch, ZF is best known for producing gearboxes, including BMW. / 8AT for Audi, and 9AT for Jeep, Land Rover, and Honda. In 2015, by completing the acquisition of TRW, the ZF became the world's largest automobile parts company.

The automobile transmission system is ZF's best, except for the planetary gears used in automobiles, of course, it also includes various clutch modules, coupling modules of hybrid systems, power take-offs of various large-scale factory machinery, hydraulic torque converters, etc. This means that ZF is influential as long as it involves power transmission and speed regulation.

● Continental Group - Germany

Speaking of the German mainland, everyone may not be familiar with it, but I don't think anybody knows about horse tyres. Horse tyres are continental tyres. The tyres of the whole group are also involved in many areas of the automotive industry, including braking systems, Engine injection system, ESP, etc. Following the acquisition of the Siemens VDO by the Continental Group, the automotive electronics under it - drive recorders, sensors and control systems - became important products of the company and currently rank first in global sales.

Continental Group ranked 213 among the world's top 500 companies in 2017. Sales of brake calipers, safety electronics, in-vehicle intelligent communication systems, automotive instrumentation, and fuel supply systems are number one; global sales of electronic brake systems and brake boosters are second; as in Bosch, the mainland also develops autonomous driving systems. It was sold to manufacturers, not to consumers, so it was low-key.

● Magna - Canada

Magna is ranked 290 among the world's top 500 companies in 2017. It is the most diversified auto parts supplier in the world. What does this mean? This means that Magna's products are involved in all aspects of the car, and the use of their own parts and components can basically bring up a car. This is the breadth of what many first-line car companies can't do. Magna's hands are such that Long, but people are used to being behind the scenes.

The GETRAK double-clutch gearbox widely used in autonomous vehicles, such as Geely, Chery, JAC, etc., is said to be a German company, but this supplier was already acquired by Magna as early as 2015. We say that Magna is a supplier with complete vehicle production capacity. In fact, it is also doing so. The entire vehicle engineering and OEM manufacturing is the business with the greatest contribution from its profits. The most famous is the entire company in Graz, Austria. Vehicle foundry factory, representative models BMW 5 Series, Mercedes-Benz G-class, Jeep Grand Cherokee. That's right! The world-famous off-road vehicle - Mercedes-Benz G-class is actually a component supplier's work.

● Aisin Seiki - Japan

About Aisin, everyone is most familiar with the 6AT gearbox that is widely used in Japanese, French, German, and autonomous vehicles. As a supplier of parts for Toyota, Aisin Seiki itself can be in 2017. Ranked 324 of the world's top 500 companies. In addition to 6AT, which we are familiar with, most of the CVTs used by Japanese cars also have Aisin components. In addition, Camry's horizontal 8AT, crown's vertical 8AT, and Prado's vertical 6AT are also works of Aisin. .

Recently, Geely and Guangzhou Automobile Co., Ltd. have successively reached an agreement with Aisin to build a new gearbox factory in China to produce full-scale 6AT gearboxes, mainly for their own brands, including Geely Boyue and Chuanqi GS8. Do not rule out the future Changan Ford, Shenlong PSA, North and South Volkswagen may purchase gearbox from here, domestic Well, cheaper.

● Denso - Japan

Japanese companies are generally called "XX Co., Ltd." The above Aisin Seiki is said to be Aisin Seiki Co., Ltd. and Denso is also the same. It ranks 236 among the world's top 500 companies in 2017, although its popularity in the country is not as good as that in Japan. Love letter, but the body is bigger than Aisin. Including air-conditioning equipment, electronic control products, radiators, spark plugs, instrument clusters, filters, industrial robots, telecommunications products, and information processing equipment, Denso has a total of 21 products ranked first in the world.

Although in the domestic market of diesel common rail and aftertreatment systems, Japan Denso has a lot of market share behind Bosch, but it also covers a wide range of fields. With its advantages in passenger car gasoline technology and ancillary products, Denso has installed electric vehicles. It has always been the top supplier of parts and components of the world's automotive systems, and it profoundly explains what is called a shipbreak and still has three thousand nails.

● Modern Mobis - South Korea

MOBIS supplies parts and components for Hyundai-Kia’s automotive products. Accurately speaking, MOBIS is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hyundai-Kia Group. As the largest sniper for Korean cars, MOBIS also has nearly Magna. The breadth of the business, which is the key factor for the Korean car to go global, ranks 323 among the world's top 500 companies in 2017, and is one place higher than Japan's Aisin Seiki.

At present, the 6AT gearboxes of Hyundai Hyundai are MOBIS's works, including Sonata, Shengda, and K5. They mainly match the 2.0T engine, and the 1.6T engine is matched with a dual clutch gearbox, also from MOBIS. Its factory is in Yancheng, Jiangsu.

● BorgWarner - United States

BorgWarner focuses on powertrains and transmissions, including engines, transmissions, and four-wheel drive systems. It is also an absolute leader and monopoly in the field of turbocharging. It can be said to be a unicorn enterprise in 17 countries around the world. 62 manufacturing and technology bases were established, including the China Regional Coordination Center and R&D Center in Shanghai.

At the same time, BorgWarner is currently the leading company in the field of double-clutch gearboxes. Volkswagen's first-generation 6-speed wet dual-clutch transmission was developed by BorgWarner and Volkswagen Group, drawing on the production of dual-clutch gearboxes for previous racing cars. The concept, and the introduction of civilian use, DCT gearboxes used by Great Wall, SAIC, and Zotye in the autonomous vehicles are also BorgWarner's dual clutch modules; the latest generation of the Volkswagen's latest 7-speed dry dual clutch transmissions is owned by Schaeffler's LUK company. which provided.

● Yanfeng Automotive Interior Systems - China

SAIC’s Huayu Automotive, which is the parent company of SAIC Motor in China, completed the acquisition of 50% of Yanfeng Visteon’s shares in 13 years. Thanks to SAIC’s market share in China, Yanfeng has become China’s top auto parts company and ranked 14th in the world. At the same time, Huayu has also established joint ventures with many giants of parts and components, such as China Continental (Chongqing), Bosch Huayu, and China Domain Pilborg.

●Summary:

Why the German, Japanese, U.S., and Korean brands can truly go global, in fact, the most critical reason is that these car companies are backed by globally renowned component suppliers, Bosch, ZF, and Japan The company's Denso and Aisin have even established MOBIS in Korea. The suppliers of Rinderpest will inevitably build up the local car prices of Rinderpest, and the two will complement each other. Only Canada's Magna is a bit different, fully equipped with vehicle production capacity, and people are only subjectively reluctant to "pit".

We all hope that the national car brands can go abroad and, like the autonomous car companies, can't develop and produce components with core technologies in the local market, and rely entirely on externally purchased cars that are “squeaked out” and naturally cannot be recognized by the international community. After all, the things you used have long been used by others. If you change the shell and repost a LOGO, how can you compete with the big brothers on the same stage?
