China's auto parts industry is facing four major bottleneck

In recent years, the multinational auto parts group have entered China, however China's auto parts industry is attached to the whole vehicle enterprise for a long time, the capital, technology, management and development were at a disadvantage, so it is facing an unprecedented challenge. Now Global procurement, synchronized development, modular supply and neutral development has become the four major bottlenecks.
In the face of global procurement challenges, the expert believes that China's auto parts industry needs to break the old market concept, they should get into the global sourcing platform. In the short term, we can’t achieve a breakthrough in technology research and development of auto parts industry in our country, so except cooperation with the multinational auto parts group, there is no good way.
The main bottleneck that the parts industry of our country is facing is the research and development ability. Due to the low level of R & D and no independent brand, products can only imitate others. The majority of parts enterprises in China can not meet the requirements of synchronization, not only difficult to support the new models, but also inevitably faced with the danger of losing the traditional market.



Second is global procurement. At present, China's auto parts industry is low manufacturing level, management extensive and cost control is weak, which can not meet the user's requirements for product quality, cost, delivery and other global procurement. Especially in the cost control, with the frequent performance of the car price war, the cost pressures continue to shift to the parts, so the ability of cost control is facing enormous challenges. According to estimates, every 10% reduction in vehicle prices, at least 5 percent is passed on to the parts enterprises.
Three is the modular supply. The modular supply is a new management idea and mode, and it puts forward strict requirements on the production management level, the assembly labor productivity, the cost control ability and the electronic level. At present, the gap between parts enterprises and the foreign company in this area is also very big, especially in the integration, electronic. Due to technological backwardness, the majority of parts and components enterprises in China can only produce labor-intensive products, so the added value of products is low, so it is difficult to enter the ranks of first-tier suppliers.
In addition, insufficient capital investment, small scale production, small batch, weak in strength, so that China's auto parts enterprises are unable to compete with multinational auto parts enterprises.
Increase market openness in parts enterprises brings opportunities as well as risks,, so how to prevent foreign investors from controlling the Chinese market? In fact, from the current market situation, China's parts have been controlled already. Therefore, we should keep learning foreign technology to shorten the gap with the international parts enterprises. In addition, we still have to work hard to create conditions, actively create a breakthrough and development opportunities for ourselves.

How Car Engines Work

(Reprinted)The core of the engine is the cylinder, with the piston moving up and down inside the cylinder. The engine described above has one cylinder. That is typical of most lawn mowers, but most cars have more than one cylinder (four, six and eight cylinders are common). In a multi-cylinder engine, the cylinders usually are arranged in one of three ways: inline, V or flat (also known as horizontally opposed or boxer), as shown in the following figures.

Different configurations have different advantages and disadvantages in terms of smoothness, manufacturing cost and shape characteristics. These advantages and disadvantages make them more suitable for certain vehicles.

Let's look at some key engine parts in more detail.




Spark plug


The spark plug supplies the spark that ignites the air/fuel mixture so that combustion can occur. The spark must happen at just the right moment for things to work properly.


Valves


The intake and exhaust valves open at the proper time to let in air and fuel and to let out exhaust. Note that both valves are closed during compression and combustion so that the combustion chamber is sealed.


Piston


A piston is a cylindrical piece of metal that moves up and down inside the cylinder.


Piston rings


Piston rings provide a sliding seal between the outer edge of the piston and the inner edge of the cylinder. The rings serve two purposes: They prevent the fuel/air mixture and exhaust in the combustion chamber from leaking into the sump during compression and combustion. They keep oil in the sump from leaking into the combustion area, where it would be burned and lost. Most cars that "burn oil" and have to have a quart added every 1,000 miles are burning it because the engine is old and the rings no longer seal things properly.


Connecting rod


The connecting rod connects the piston to the crankshaft. It can rotate at both ends so that its angle can change as the piston moves and the crankshaft rotates.


Crankshaft


The crankshaft turns the piston's up and down motion into circular motion just like a crank on a jack-in-the-box does.


Sump


The sump surrounds the crankshaft. It contains some amount of oil, which collects in the bottom of the sump (the oil pan).

4. The bad work product appearance although on occasion, but due to poor craftsmanship, prone to crack, sand holes, slag inclusion, burr or bruised. Such as cylinder gasket extrusion deformation, when using, easy to cause the untight seal and ablation, lead to the oil, gas leakage and leakage phenomenon.



5. See "loose" made up of two or more than two parts, accessories parts by being connected, bonding or between welding and become, not allowed to have loose phenomenon.


6. See assembly mark in order to ensure the parts assembly relations conforms to the technical requirements, with some regular parts surface marker assembly, such as timing gear, piston top marks, such as assembly mark, mark is used to ensure the parts installed correctly, without a sign or mark fuzzy cannot recognize, will bring great difficulty to assembly, or even wrong.


7. See gaps complete formal assembly parts must be in good condition, to ensure smooth loading and normal operation. Some assembly of small parts packing, may be a "gray", to cause difficulties for loading. May even for some small parts shortage, cause the whole assembly parts scrap.


8. The protective layer for the purposes of custody, knock against, prevent parts have protective coating parts before delivery. Such as piston pin, bearing bush with paraffin wax protection; Piston ring and cylinder liner surface rust-proof oil and paper package; Valve, piston, etc after immersion rust-proof oil encapsulated with plastic bag. When the choose and buy, if find seal set of damage, loss of wrapping paper, rust-proof oil or paraffin loss, shall be returned.


9. The certificate some important components, especially the assembly class, such as carburetor, distributor, generators, etc., factory generally with manual, certificate of approval, to guide users to install, use and maintenance.


10. See most auto parts have stipulated specifications and technical parameters. Such as electrical equipment of choose and buy when, should pay attention to check and be in components of the voltage and power are consistent.

How to Choose The Right E-commerce Platform to Sell Auto Parts Online

(Reprinted)Customers’ love for shopping online is increasing every year—after all, it’s easy, convenient, and often less expensive than in-store purchases. With such a potential for increasing your profits online, maybe you’ve considered expanding your sales to reach the online community. But with so many E-commerce platforms to choose from, where do you start?

Reliable E-commerce software that fits your needs can maximize your revenue, but a poorly chosen platform could leave you with a costly and unsuccessful failure. To help you figure out which system is best for you and your dealership’s success we’ve come up with this practical guide on how to find the right auto parts E-commerce platform for you dealership.


1. Determine your E-commerce goals


The first step is to determine what your E-commerce goals are. Would you be happy with a few extra part sales a month or do you need to grow sales aggressively? How you run and operate your online store will change depending on if you’re reaching out to customers on a local or national level. The national level may have a higher payout, but it’s also much more competitive. Perhaps you want to start by capturing online sales from customers in your local area who already visit your website, and expand nationally once you’ve got the hang of it. Make sure you find an E-commerce service provider that can tailor their service to your current goals but scale to meet your future goals.Questions to consider:

• Do you want to sell on a national level, a local level, or both?

• Do you want to grow rapidly and aggressively, or just get started?

• Do you want to sell on your own domain, or on a separate site?


2. Website reliability


If your auto parts online store is down, you can’t make sales. Even worse, downtime will not only cut into your profits, but also make your company seem unreliable and unprofessional. It’s essential that the E-commerce software provider you choose has a history of reliable service, and a reputation for quick fixes on the rare occasion that your website does run into problems.

Questions to consider:

• If your website goes down, what is your plan of action? Who can you contact?

• Does the E-commerce platform have reliable uptime?

• Does the E-commerce platform respond quickly and efficiently?


3. Support


If you do run into problems while setting up or running your online storefront, you’ll need someone to go for personalized and effective support—whether it’s tech support, advice, or just a quick question. An E-commerce platform with a strong support team can move things along quickly and efficiently compared to one that takes weeks to respond to a simple question. Every vendor will claim they have first-rate support, but not all will deliver on the promise so your best bet is to call other dealerships currently using the platform and ask them what the support is really like.

Questions to consider:

• What kind of support does the provider offer?

• Is support included, or does it cost extra?

• How responsive is the support team? How helpful? How effective?




4. User experience


If the customer has a poor experience on your website, they’re unlikely to return. Therefore, keep a happy customer in mind while choosing your E-commerce platform. While browsing your options, ask the potential E-commerce provider for a demo. Put yourself in the customer’s shoes as you click through the website and "make a purchase.” Remember that the more steps it takes for a customer to find and purchase the part, the less likely they’ll follow through with the sale.

Questions to consider:

• Is the site easy to navigate?

• Is it easy for a customer to find and verify the right part? Are there images or diagrams?

• How many steps does it take to purchase an item? Is it easy to add to cart and checkout?

• Is the site mobile-friendly?


5. Design options


Since the design and layout of the webpage is the first thing a customer will notice, it’s important to take this part into consideration. Customers should associate the site’s appearance with your brand and the type of service you can provide them. A clean, modern, user-friendly and professional design will make your website preferred over others.

Questions to consider:

• What level of branding and customization do you need?

• How much control do you have over customization? • Are the provided designs professional and aesthetically pleasing?

• Do the offered themes fit your company’s image?

• Do personalized designs cost extra?


6. Price setting for parts


There are a few common methods for setting prices on your online store. You can base it on an added percentage over the cost, or price it a little bit under list. In many systems, you have to pick one system over the other. Some pricing methods, however, make more sense than others for certain categories of auto parts or accessories. If you have an E-commerce platform that forces you to price every part using the same method, it can result in some serious losses.

Questions to consider:

• Do you know the best way to price each part?

• Can you set your prices based on cost, list, or a combination of the two?


7. Integration with tools you already use


If you’re already using some online tools to reach your customers, picking an E-commerce platform that integrates well with what you already have is definitely a bonus. Some service providers may charge more if you want to integrate those tools, so watch out for added costs.

Questions to consider:

• Which integration tools do you currently use (email, DMS, Google product feeds)?

• Which integration tools does the service provider offer?

• Which ones do you have to pay extra for?


8. Security and payment gateways


Customers need to trust you with their credit card information before they make a purchase. Before signing on with an E-commerce service provider, look into how secure their system is and if they have a history of security breaches. A key feature to look for in an E-commerce platform is a tokenized payment system, which removes the actual credit card number and replaces it with a token (a randomly generated number). E-commerce platforms that use tokenized payment systems never actually store credit card numbers so the fraudsters have no credit card numbers to steal.

Questions to consider:

• Does the E-commerce platform have a history of secure systems?

• Is customer credit card information stored in the system? Is the stored information kept in a safe and secure way?

• Does the E-commerce platform support popular payment gateways?


9. Shipping


Shipping is a major factor for any online retailer. Accurate shipping costs can make or break your profits on a parts sale. Many E-commerce systems use a simple formula based on the price of the part to estimate shipping costs, which can be problematic if you have a large,heavy truck part that sells for a low price. At the same time, overpriced shipping will be a quick way to lose customers to more reasonable retailers.

Questions to consider:

• Will you be able to accurately estimate shipping costs based on the size and weight of each part for sale?

• Are shipping costs calculated automatically? How?


10. Cost of the solution


Some E-commerce platforms are more or less expensive than others, depending on the quality, effectiveness, and features offered. Before rushing ahead with your plans, make sure you’re getting a deal that fits what you need. Evaluate your budget and don’t just jump for the cheapest option. Sometimes it’s best to pay a little more for a reliable platform, since a more effective website will drive more revenue.

Questions to consider:

• Do you know what you’re paying for?

• What is the price per month?

• Are there any hidden fees (set-up fees, processing fees, integration fees, and additional theme or app fees)?
