Many friends may not have heard of this gearbox company, but in fact, this Shandong Shengrui is an out-and-out giant enterprise, and its main business is not 8AT gearbox. Shandong Shengrui is more engaged in construction machinery, agricultural machinery, transmission machinery, diesel engine parts, goods import and export, technology import and export business, involving a wide range.
In addition, according to public information, this Sheng Rui company has carried out eight rounds of financing, and the investor is a famous investment bank, so this enterprise is really quite powerful. As for his 8AT gearbox, what is its level in the industry? To put it simply, he is the first in the domestic gearbox enterprise, not to say how awesome his technology is, so why is it still the first? There is a simple reason. He is the only domestic enterprise engaged in the research and development of 8AT gearbox, so of course he is the first.
If you want to compare with the world peers such as ZF and Aisin, then the gearbox of Shandong Shengrui 8AT is at the bottom.
In the sense that this gearbox appears, it is actually extraordinary. In China, when it comes to engines, independent brands are still remarkable, such as red flag engine and blue whale engine. But you have to say that gearboxes are basically manual or dual-clutch gearboxes. Without this gearbox, all automatic gearboxes in China will be monopolized by foreign countries.
In a sense, this gearbox is a gearbox that breaks the domestic monopoly and is a transformation of 0- 1. The Huawei incident tells us how important it is to plan ahead.
Of course, because foreign gearbox manufacturers have not restricted Chinese automobile manufacturers, there are not many manufacturers purchasing this Sheng Rui gearbox at present, and only some relatively small cars are purchased, such as Zotye, Lifan and other relatively weak models. What they are interested in is of course the low price of this engine.
As for the actual use effect of this gearbox, judging from the sales of the above-mentioned models and the actual feedback from the owners, the ride comfort and shift logic are still relatively weak in the performance of this gearbox.
If China's gearbox is stuck abroad in the future, then this gearbox can rapidly evolve and shine, otherwise it will basically be in a refrigerated state. But the good news is that this company does not expect this engine to be profitable, so this engine will still exist in the future, and its existence is equivalent to the spare tire of the gearbox industry.
