As an important part of the automotive active safety system, the anti-lock brake system (ABS) of the vehicle is expected to be fully supported.

Recently, Feng Hao, manager of chassis control system for Bosch Automotive Components (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. Feng Hao, told reporters: “At present, ABS in the domestic passenger car market has been popularized. This year's updated version of the “Guangdong GB7258 Motor Vehicle Safe Operation Technical Conditions” is aimed at low prices. The ABS application in the mini vehicle field is the final supplement.” In addition, according to the requirements of the national standard GB12676-2014, after July 1st this year, the light trucks will have to install ABS anti-lock devices to get on the cards.

It can be seen that the matching rate of ABS in automobiles is getting higher and higher. Then, what are the changes brought about by the increasingly fierce competition environment and the development opportunities brought by policies?

Rapid growth of commercial vehicle matching "At present, the ABS system is mainly divided into two categories: hydraulic ABS and pneumatic ABS. This is determined by the use of hydraulic or pneumatic braking systems in the vehicle. This trend will continue in the future." WABCO Group Vice President According to Yu Sujie, President of the President, Asia Pacific and China Business, passenger cars and some light trucks will use hydraulic ABS. The rest of the models will basically use pneumatic ABS.

Fu Zhiquan, deputy general manager of Zhejiang Wanan Science and Technology Co., Ltd. and general manager of Beijing Jinwanan Automotive Electronic Technology Research and Development Co., Ltd. explained that the current mainstream hydraulic ABS is integrated by a hydraulic adjustment unit and electronic controller, and the pressure control valve and electronic pressure ABS The controller is separate.

According to report, the commercial vehicle market is mainly based on pneumatic ABS. Companies such as WABCO, Dongfeng Knorr, Wanan Brake and Ruili Kemi occupy a relatively large market share. Wanan is mainly based on pneumatic ABS and has been supporting domestic mainstream commercial vehicle manufacturers such as FAW, Dongfeng, Shaanxi Auto, Jianghuai, Jiangling, Nanjing Auto, Jinlong, and CIMC. Wan An’s insider explained that thanks to the layout of the light truck market in the two years before Wan’an, under the impetus of the new regulations, ABS sales will grow significantly this year; Ruili Kemi’s sales increased by 40.66% year-on-year and will continue to be maintained this year. The strong growth momentum is mainly due to the fact that the state has increased the enforcement of laws and regulations to expand the scope of commercial vehicle ABS installation; WABCO ABS has a full range of solutions for commercial vehicles, and its ABS system has passed strict application calibration and can be in compliance. Under the premise of the most stringent laws and regulations, it brings more cost-effective solutions to light-card customers; Bosch mainly produces hydraulic ABS, which is used for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles.

In recent years, the sales volume of brake products in the mini passenger car market has grown rapidly. Shi Zhengtang, deputy general manager of Zhejiang Asia Pacific Electromechanical Co., Ltd., told reporters: “In 2015, Asia-Pacific shares ABS production is about 250,000 units, and this year is expected to reach 700,000 units, mainly since July 2015. National policies require minibuses and light loads. Truck assembly ABS.At present, Asia Pacific shares a share in the light truck hydraulic ABS market, customers include Beiqi Foton, Jiangling Holdings, Jianghuai Automobile, Dongfeng Motor, Qingling Automobile, and Nanjing Automobile Yuejin.

Strong pushes up ABS penetration

“Regulations and policies are the main driving force for ABS assembly of commercial vehicles. Each time the significant increase in ABS matching rate is achieved with the enactment and implementation of laws and regulations,” Yu Sujie believes.

The mandatory ABS regulations for 1999 mainly targeted commercial vehicles of 12 tons or more; in 2014, the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology jointly issued the Notice on Strengthening the Production and Registration Management of Small and Minivans and Motorcycles, which was required since 2015. From January onwards, all small vans that apply for the announcement must have ABS; GB12676-2014 put forward mandatory requirements for light truck ABS applications. Feng Hao told reporters: "These policies have a very positive effect on the popularization of ABS and the effect is very obvious."

Feng Hao emphasized: "The technical conditions for the safe operation of the GB7258 motor vehicle have been requested in the latest update of the Exposure Draft for passenger cars with a vehicle length of more than 11 meters, equipped with FCW (Forward Collision Warning System) and LDW (Lane Departure Warning System). The request also made relevant braking requirements for the low-cost micro-vehicle sector and it is expected to be implemented by 2018. By then, domestic regulations will impose mandatory requirements on ABS for all vehicles."

"The policies and regulations are mandatory. Vehicles that do not install ABS in accordance with the requirements cannot be advertised and therefore cannot be listed." Fu Zhiquan believes that policies and regulations are very important for the promotion of ABS.

Autonomy of foreign capital equals
"Commercial vehicles within the regulatory requirements have been generally equipped with ABS. Among suppliers, foreign-funded enterprises account for about 45% of the market, domestic brands account for 55%." Yu Sujie introduced.

Fu Zhiquan believes that in the commercial vehicle sector, the ABS market has already broken the dominant position of foreign-funded parts and components companies, and independent brands and foreign capital are equally divided. "The international market pressure ABS manufacturers are mainly WABCO and Knorr. In the domestic market, both international and domestic ABS manufacturers are competing on the same platform." He said.

With the increase in the amount of domestic air pressure ABS in recent years, the price gap has become smaller and smaller. At present, domestic manufacturers have rapid technological advances in the field of pneumatic ABS, and their experience has also become more and more abundant. The gap with foreign manufacturers has been very small, and more is reflected in the competition of comprehensive strength. Fu Zhiquan said: "Domestic companies need to continuously improve their research and development capabilities and technological levels, meet or even exceed international brands in terms of product performance, reliability, quality, etc., to provide customers with first-class products suited to national conditions, while further strengthening their supply capabilities and services. Consciousness has its own advantages, improve its overall competitiveness, and respond to fierce competition."

Fu Zhiquan emphasized that to improve his overall competitiveness, the most important thing is to rely on the continuous R&D of technologies and products, with a focus on new technologies and products, especially foreign-funded enterprises that are just starting up products and technologies. Investment, continuous research and development, and strive to keep pace with foreign-funded enterprises, even beyond.

In the commercial vehicle ABS market, self-owned brands compete with foreign capital on the same platform, but the field of passenger vehicles is still dominated by foreign capitals such as Bosch, China, and TRW. Regarding how to break through, Fu Zhiquan stated that first, the R&D capabilities of technology and products should be continuously improved; second, the cost advantages of independent brands should be highlighted; third, the state should issue policies to protect independent enterprises; and fourth, it should raise the awareness of vehicle companies supporting independent brands. .
