since the establishment of the first wholly-owned turbocharger factory in China in 1994, Honeywell transportation system has entered China for 18 years. At present, Honeywell has an annual output of 1million turbochargers and 9million brake pads; In the future, after Wuhan turbocharger factory and Chongqing brake pad factory are put into operation, their production capacity will be further expanded. The company now provides a complete service chain from production, research and development to sales to more than 30 customers in China

since 2002, Honeywell has strengthened its R & D team in China, with more than 750 R & D personnel, of which the turbocharging R & D department has more than 150 R & D members, with a full range of R & D capabilities, and will launch nearly 30 different turbochargers every year. In Chinese factories, Honeywell implements the globally consistent Honeywell operation system. With this system, the operation and operation of Chinese factories can reach the world's top standards

from Tata Nano with a displacement of 0.8L to Caterpillar heavy engineering machinery with a displacement of 100L, Honeywell can provide matching turbochargers, realizing a full range of product coverage. Geographically, Honeywell's turbochargers also cover Europe, North America and China

Honeywell predicts that in the next few years, more and more vehicles in the Chinese market will be equipped with turbochargers, and the growth rate of the Chinese turbocharging market will be twice that of the entire automotive market, and the market size of turbochargers will also increase from the current 4million units to 8million units in the next five years. Dai Pengjie, vice president and general manager of Honeywell Transportation Systems China and India, who manufactures different plastic products, believes that the utilization rate of turbochargers will develop rapidly in the next few years, and the proportion will increase from the current 20% to 30. It can be said that it is a rising star. The reasons for this are mainly from two aspects: on the one hand, the increasingly strict emission regulations, and the engine must be equipped with turbochargers to meet the emission standards; On the other hand, it mainly comes from car buyers. More and more car buyers are willing to choose cars equipped with turbochargers, which can reduce fuel consumption and increase driving fun at the same time. Thanks to the rapid growth of the entire turbocharger market, especially the huge demand in the field of passenger cars, passenger car turbochargers will become an important growth point for Honeywell in the future

Dai Pengjie has been the vice president and general manager of Honeywell Transportation Systems China and India since January this year. Previously, Dai Pengjie served as the vice president of global marketing department of Honeywell turbocharger technology department, responsible for strategic planning, product and pricing strategy, global business development and demand planning. Dai Pengjie has rich experience in the automotive industry. Since joining Honeywell turbocharging technology department in 2003, he has successively served as the manager of customer service department in Europe, the director of European project management and the director of global passenger vehicle marketing and sales. Honeywell transportation system is composed of two business departments: turbocharging technology and friction materials. Dai Pengjie will be responsible for all aspects of transportation system business operation, including growth strategy, new product development, supply chain and business expansion capabilities

the following is a summary of the interview with Dai Pengjie, vice president of Honeywell Transportation Systems China and India:

: what is the proportion of Honeywell turbocharger in passenger cars, commercial vehicles and construction machinery

Dai Pengjie: we first provided turbochargers for light vehicles and commercial vehicles, with relatively few construction machinery. In the whole market, the turbocharging configuration rate of gasoline passenger vehicles is about 8% at present, and will increase to 20% in the future. Therefore, a large part of our business growth will come from gasoline passenger vehicles. Within five years, our gasoline passenger vehicle business will account for about 50% of our overall business. We don't have much involvement in domestic construction machinery business, but as our major foreign customers accelerate the pace of localized production, our proportion in this business field will be greatly improved

: in your opinion, gasoline passenger vehicles will account for 50% of Honeywell's turbocharging business in the next five years. What are the main driving factors

Dai Pengjie: there are three main factors. First, the Chinese government has a very clear regulation on fuel economy, which will increase by about 20% in the next few years, so that many passenger cars must use turbocharging technology to achieve this goal. The second is the end customers, who have higher and higher awareness and acceptance of turbocharging. They generally believe that turbocharging is an advanced technology, which can not only bring good fuel efficiency, but also improve driving fun. Among the new gasoline passenger cars every year, the allocation rate of turbocharger has maintained a rise of 3%. The third is the market position of our company. In the past two years, we have won some key gasoline engine projects. These projects should reach mass production in the next few years, which will greatly promote our business

: what is the product structure of Honeywell turbocharger in terms of gasoline engine? Small and even micro turbochargers in China have great market prospects. How to obtain local customers in this regard

Dai Pengjie: in the whole gasoline engine business, we can achieve a full range of coverage. We have won a lot of orders in the field of micro noodles and micro cars - robots, automated production lines and other intelligent devices are widely used in production, and products will enter the market within this year; 1.. 5L light car is our largest business segment in the field of gasoline engine; There are also products for luxury and sports cars, in which we have used a lot of advanced technology. These three aspects are parallel. Of course, in terms of quantity, 1 5L cars dominate

in many models, we are the only turbocharger supplier. In the field of small cars, especially micro cars, cost is a very important factor, but the performance of the engine is also very important. The performance of small engines in low-speed torque is critical, which is guaranteed by turbochargers. Our turbocharging technology can ensure the performance of small engines in low-speed torque. We have developed a supercharger for gasoline engines, especially for the Chinese micro car market

speaking of winning local customers, in fact, local customers pay more attention to our technical support. Local OEMs may not have as much engine development experience as multinational OEMs, so it is more necessary for experienced turbocharger manufacturers such as Honeywell to provide them with a learning opportunity in the whole development process. At the same time, we also have more than 150 local R & D teams, which are unmatched by many competitors

: please briefly introduce the micro car project you mentioned earlier

Dai Pengjie: this project includes two emissions of 0.8L and 1.0L, which are applicable to the micro surface and micro car industries. It is expected to be mass produced in 2014. We have developed such a product locally, and technological innovation mainly lies in cost and acceleration. Because micro cars and micro noodles are very cheap, the price should be well controlled; At the same time, many commercial facets have a large loading capacity and need to be started quickly. We also need to ensure that technically. We predict that the annual output of this project will reach 200000 sets

: can you introduce the turbocharger developed for Tata Nano 0.8L diesel engine

Dai Pengjie: This is the world's first turbocharger for a two cylinder diesel engine. Later, a gasoline engine version was also developed. We have to face many technical challenges, because no one has done it before

the biggest challenge of the turbocharger of two cylinder diesel engine is the sealing type, which should prevent oil leakage; The second is power, because the power of the two cylinder engine is very different. We have made two innovations for such a project. The first is to design a bearing system to prevent oil leakage. The second is to redesign the whole impeller and turbine to meet the technical requirements

: turbocharger has high requirements for processing technology, and some parts may have to be imported. What is the current situation of Honeywell's localized production

Dai Pengjie: at present, our localization productivity is about 80%, and our goal is to achieve 100% as soon as possible. Indeed, there are some high-precision mechanical parts and control valves, which are still partially imported at present. Especially now, there are more and more applications of electronic control for 20 ° angle deflection axial tension experiment control in turbochargers. Among them, we hope to localize the production of electronic control valves as soon as possible

: are raw materials also sourced locally

Dai Pengjie: whether the materials we use are localized or not depends on the localization of raw materials of suppliers
