Detailed differences:
1. Spare parts suppliers
Joint venture vehicle refers to the finished products produced by foreign brands in China. Even the products made in China are all "tricks" of foreign brands in terms of design, technology and production line.
In addition, even many parts are made abroad. In fact, the parts of pure imported models are also produced by different factories in different countries, and the quality is of course world-class.
2, quality technology
In the impression of most people, the quality of imported cars is definitely higher than that of joint venture cars. At present, the production technology, tools and error prevention measures used by domestic automobile manufacturers are also internationally standardized, and the quality control process is also complete. Therefore, the quality and technology of joint venture cars are not necessarily worse than imported cars.
3. Core technology
Engine, chassis, gearbox and so on constitute the core components and technology of a car. Many people actually think that the current domestic joint venture car companies are assembled with parts. In fact, this idea is one-sided.
Because the production of domestic joint venture car companies is step by step, stamping, welding, painting, assembly and other steps are interlocking. Most joint venture car companies have their own engine and gearbox factories in China, and they are all imported from foreign brands. So the core technology will not be too bad.
4. The "China characteristics" of the joint venture car.
As we all know, after foreign brands enter China, the configuration of bumpers, daytime running lights and ESP will inevitably shrink. But you can rest assured that even if there are fewer vehicles, the safety, handling and riding feeling of the vehicles can still be guaranteed. Therefore, a joint venture car with "China characteristics" is not much worse than imported cars.
Extended data:
1. Joint venture vehicle:
As the name implies, it is a project jointly established by Chinese and foreign investors. Chinese investment method: transferring land use right, factory building and capital; Foreign joint ventures such as brands, technology, capital and talents are all products of the above cooperation. The technology, talents and brands provided by foreign countries are assembled at home, but the core technology is still in foreign countries.
The price of a joint venture car is definitely expensive. Although China's technology is very developed now, it is still not as good as Europe and America, and its production capacity is not enough. For example, foreign countries can produce 6.5438 million cars a year, while China can only produce 6.5438 million cars, which is definitely not enough to sell. How to sell it without a price? If Big Ben sells 0.2 million/200 thousand in China, China's own brand will not survive. In order not to let this happen, we should protect domestic brands!
Joint venture cars are also expensive because of intellectual property rights. China's dependence on cooperation with foreign automobile manufacturers is very low. Generally speaking, China is learning more about assembly technology, corporate culture, internal management and so on.
What we really need to know about the core technologies of automobile engines and transmissions are often imported from abroad, and the technologies sold to China are generally backward 10 to 20 years.
Take ABS as an example. At the end of 1970s, European and American automobile manufacturers were already developing and using them, and they were vigorously promoted in the market in 1980s. The first domestic model using ABS is Santana 2000. This gap is obvious.
Therefore, the core technology is in the hands of foreign enterprises, and we spend a lot of money to buy these technologies or finished products, which naturally leads to higher prices of joint venture vehicles.
2. Imported cars:
Parallel imported cars, the full name is parallel trade imported cars, referred to as flat trade cars. It refers to cars purchased by traders from overseas markets and introduced into China market for sale without the authorization of brand manufacturers. Due to different import places, it can be divided into American cars, Middle Eastern cars, extra-large cars and European cars, which are different from China cars sold through authorized channels.
The pilot scheme of "parallel import" of automobiles proposed by Shanghai Free Trade Zone is under examination and approval. At the same time, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce has made it clear that starting from 20 14, 10 and 1, the relevant filing work of automobile general dealers and authorized dealers of automobile brands will be stopped.
Once the pilot scheme is approved and relevant measures are approved, the previously imported non-standard vehicles will obtain legal status. At the same time, the price of the whole imported car will drop at least 15% or more.
