As global auto industry in Japan in the important position of the earthquake in the Japanese automobile industry caused heavy losses, but also almost the entire algorithm of fault global automotive industry chain. However, compared to many fans of Japanese cars compared to a slight complaints, and vehicle production is closely related to the Ningbo auto parts industry has not been a big impact, and vice versa may also might find a deeper level of international cooperation to the development of good opportunity.

    "Ningbo auto parts industry is mostly secondary and even tertiary vehicle supporting enterprise business, it does not yet have felt the impact of Japan's earthquake affected." Auto Parts Industry Association of Ningbo City, yesterday afternoon that the Secretary-General Huang Xiaohua said. He also believes that perhaps Ningbo auto parts industry will usher in development opportunities from the earthquake.

    Huang Xiaohua said development opportunities is not groundless. Just last month, the Japanese president of Southern Management Katsuyuki Kageyama, business executive of Southern islands of Japan into a tree and his party arrived from Japan and five specialized Ningbo Yinzhou with the city, Fenghua and other auto parts companies to pre- contacts in the hope that the commissioning party is the Japanese auto parts companies in Japan to cooperate with Ningbo peer matchmaking.

    Reporter learned that, after the international financial crisis and weak domestic economic development and other factors, the Japanese auto parts industry also suffered the ceiling, need to find a new breakthrough. Huang Xiaohua that Japan in March of this earthquake and tsunami, the Japanese automotive and related industries suffered heavy losses, and that Japan's auto parts industry is also seeking to speed up the pace of cooperation overseas.

    According to incomplete statistics, China's auto parts industry in Ningbo is one of the most developed, more than 3000 manufacturing enterprises, the annual output value of more than 30 billion yuan. However, Ningbo auto parts industry, there are obvious shortcomings: it is mostly plastic products and metal parts, high-tech, high value-added product development key to lack of capacity, such as power systems, anti-lock braking system , intelligent control systems, automotive audio-visual information systems have yet to be mechatronic product development and accelerate development.

    "As a firm to control the semiconductor, integrated circuits, the core components of high value-added market, Japanese companies in the automotive industry upstream of the upstream chain." Huang Xiaohua analysis said that if Japan Ningbo auto parts enterprises with counterparts, some of the cars parts to high-end industrial transfer to Ningbo, which will greatly enhance the level of Ningbo auto parts industry and grade.

    In fact, Ningbo auto parts industry heavyweight in recent years, there is no lack of overseas mergers and acquisitions, successful examples of cooperation. Just last month, is headquartered in Ningbo, Ningbo National Hi-tech Zone Investment Group Co., Ltd. acquired all wins Bavarian automotive supplier Purell 74.9% stake the company approved by the State Development and Reform Commission. Major R & D and manufacture of the latter driving control system, air conditioning control system, electronic control unit and sensor systems and other automotive electronic components.

    Previously, Ningbo Yunsheng to total 1.17 billion yen (equivalent to approximately RMB 92 million yuan) acquisition of Nikko Electric 79.13% of the shares. Nikko Japan's leading auto parts motor manufacturer, founded in 1933, mainly engaged in car power equipment products, DC motor and control machinery and other products. Customers include Japan, Isuzu Motors, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.

    Huang Xiaohua said that through the well-known auto parts enterprises and international cooperation, not only can enhance the innovation capability of Ningbo auto parts industry, to improve the industrial structure, but also faster and better support integration into the global automotive supply chain system, change the current auto parts The most embarrassing position downstream industries.

    Ningbo National Hi-tech zones that were won by the cross-border mergers and acquisitions group, is expected to product development technologies, operational standards, and other aspects of sales channels in Europe and America quickly upgrade and enhance the company's core competitiveness, is also expected to change in China's automotive electronics field so foreign parts enterprises pattern of world domination.

    Prior precedent: Ningbo Shenglong Group two years ago to $ 15,994,000 acquisition of the U.S. Fortune 500 companies in the SLW Borg Warner Automotive Group Co., Ltd. 90% stake in GM to successfully enter the global procurement system.
Some analysts believe that, after a sluggish domestic economy and the pain caused by the earthquake and tsunami, the Japanese counterparts to shake Ningbo auto parts enterprises from the olive branch, Ningbo enterprises should seize this unique opportunity to carry out substantive cooperation with, so that Ningbo auto parts industry in R & D technology, operational level, sales channels and other areas to obtain rapid promotion, promotion of Ningbo auto parts industry in China and the international mainstream market influence.
