In the first half of 2006, the automotive engine market experienced robust growth. According to data from the China Automobile Industry Association, total domestic automobile engine production reached 3.1896 million units, reflecting a 34.76% year-on-year increase. Similarly, sales totaled 3.167 million units, marking a 34.72% rise. Passenger car production hit 2.6 million units, with a 40.3% year-on-year growth, driving strong demand for various gasoline engines. Government policies promoting local brands and reduced tariffs on vehicle components further fueled this growth. The steady expansion of commercial vehicles, particularly passenger cars, indicated that the Chinese economy was transitioning from investment-driven growth to a more consumer-focused model.
Among the 50 companies surveyed, 17 produced over 10,000 engines in June, while 18 achieved 60,000 units in the first half of the year. These companies supply engines for various car models, including MPVs and SUVs.
Regarding diesel engines, 25 companies produced 81.23 million units in the first half of 2006. Although June saw a 20.04% decline compared to May, diesel engines still achieved a 31.99% year-on-year growth and a 13.45% cumulative increase. The top seven companies—Guangxi Yuchai, Dongfeng, FAW Group, Kunming Yunnei, Jiangxi Jiangling, Weichai, and Yangchai—accounted for 84.78% of total production, down slightly from the start of the year. While some leading firms like Yuchai maintained strong growth, others such as Dongfeng and FAW faced challenges due to weak performance in the heavy truck market. Meanwhile, second-tier companies like Jiangling and Shandong Laidong showed high growth rates of 15% or more. Notably, Weichai and China National Heavy Duty Truck Group maintained good performance, whereas Shangchai faced a negative growth rate of 35%. FAW-Volkswagen’s diesel engine division also experienced a negative cumulative growth of 7.47%, highlighting the impact of local government restrictions on diesel vehicles.
For gasoline engines, 35 companies produced 2,375,700 units in the first half of the year, a 43.99% increase. In June, 15 companies produced over 10,000 units, with the top 10 companies—Liuzhou Wuling, Changan Group, Shanghai Volkswagen, Harbin Dongan, Beijing Hyundai, FAW-Volkswagen, Dongfeng, Chery, Shanghai GM, and Shenlong—producing 1,571,800 units, representing 66.37% of total output. Five companies, including Changan Ford and Dongfeng Nissan, recorded over 100% growth, while others like Chery and FAW Toyota saw growth above 50%.
The passenger vehicle market saw Shanghai Volkswagen dominate the basic passenger car segment, with FAW-Volkswagen, Shanghai GM, Chery, and Beijing Hyundai closely following. The MPV and SUV markets benefited from changing consumer preferences and increased travel demand, boosting engine production. Mitsubishi, Shenyang Aerospace Xinguang, and Mianyang Xinhua internal combustion engines performed well. However, the recent adjustment in automobile consumption tax and refined oil prices affected ultra-small-displacement vehicles, with 1.0-liter and below cars experiencing a -9.66% growth. Major manufacturers like Harbin Dongan and Changan Group faced negative growth, indicating a shift towards higher-end vehicles.
Bosch and Ricardo collaborated on the development of the DI BOOST system, a direct injection technology for turbocharged gasoline engines. The system aims to improve fuel efficiency and meet SULEV emissions standards. Trials were conducted using a V-6 3.6L engine in a Cadillac vehicle, with plans to refine the technology further.
