"Quality change" is more important than "acceleration"
This year, behind the "increasing volume" of sales growth of the Fast Group, is the "quality change" brought about by technology upgrades and product updates. Yan Jianbo, chairman of Fast Group, believes that the era of low-end manufacturing bonuses is over. Currently, only high-quality manufacturing enterprises can survive and develop.
The Fast Group has independently developed this year and introduced the world’s first 9-speed commercial hydraulic automatic transmission , which completely broke the passive situation in which domestic automatic transmissions rely on imports for a long time.
Introduction of the development of automatic transmission (AT) differs from that of an ordinary transmission
Yan Chi platinum introduction, automatic transmission (AT) development and general transmission is different, the design route can apply for a patent, latecomers to develop products that do not allow the same route with the previous product design, which requires the design of AT products, redesign power output Technical route. Fast Group in the design of 9-speed commercial vehicle AT, not only to find a new power output route, but also to avoid the international prior to the same product line of technology, which is much more difficult than the development of other products. At present, the domestic commercial vehicle industry can autonomously mass-produce AT, with only the Fast family.
While comprehensively consolidating and expanding the heavy-duty truck market, Fast Group's new series of transmission products in the field of passenger cars and light trucks also exerted their full force. New product sales have accounted for more than 60% of total sales revenue of the company.
