1. Quality and performance guarantee: Original oxygen sensors are usually produced by automobile manufacturers or their authorized suppliers, and undergo strict quality control and testing to ensure their performance and reliability. These sensors can provide accurate oxygen measurement results after precise design and manufacture, which is very important for the normal operation of the engine and emission control. So the price of the original oxygen sensor will be higher.
2.R&D and patent fees: Automobile manufacturers have invested a lot of R&D resources and funds in the development and research of original oxygen sensors. They may have relevant patents and technologies, and they need to pay patent fees to suppliers, which will also increase the cost of oxygen sensors.
3. After-sales service and warranty: The original oxygen sensor usually provides a long warranty period, and the automobile manufacturer will also provide corresponding after-sales service support. These extra service and warranty costs will be reflected in the price of the product.
4. Relationship between market supply and demand: As automobile manufacturers have great demand for original oxygen sensors, suppliers may have a monopoly position in production and supply, which will also affect their pricing strategy.
It should be noted that although the original oxygen sensor is expensive, there are some market substitutes or third-party brands to choose from. These products may be low in price, but there may be differences in quality and performance. Therefore, when purchasing an oxygen sensor, it is necessary to comprehensively consider factors such as price, quality and performance, and choose a sensor suitable for your own vehicle needs.
