Adhere to the "Double Track Parallel Strategy" MAHLE Actively Meets the Revolution of the Automobile Industry

The 2017 Shanghai Auto Show is in full swing. As Germany's leading supplier of automotive engine parts and filters, this year's Auto Show highlights the innovative "CareMetix" air-conditioning filters, thermoelectric battery regulators and 1.2 million km with extremely high reliability. The three major innovations of the worn MAHLE power unit are the three core concepts that MAHLE has always insisted on: "clean air, energy efficiency, and reliability."

According to the conference at the conference, Chairman and CEO of the Mahle Group Management Board CEO Wolf-Henning Scheider revealed that Mahler has achieved a compound annual growth rate of 21% in China over the past six years. In 2016, Mahle's revenue in China exceeded 8.222 billion yuan, accounting for 9.1% of the total revenue of 90 billion yuan, an increase of 12.7% over the same period last year. At the same time, Mahler’s number of employees and the number of institutions in China have both shown signs of growth in recent years. By the end of 2016, MAHLE had a total of 8032 employees in China, which doubled compared to 2011. In terms of layout, Mahler has developed from 11 entities in 8 cities in 2011 to 21 entities in 15 cities now, which has greatly improved its influence in China.

In the future, Mahle will focus on powertrain electrification solutions in China, such as traction motors, electric drive auxiliary equipment, and thermal management solutions for pure electric vehicles. In addition, the optimization of the traditional internal combustion engine is also the most important task of MAHLE's next phase in China. With this “two-track parallel” strategy, MAHLE will be committed to the development of electrification of the automotive industry, effectively promote energy-saving emission reduction, and improve driving. Environment, improve traffic efficiency provide strong technical support.

Adhering to the three concepts Mahler Shanghai Auto Show has introduced a number of innovative technologies

At the Shanghai Auto Show 2017, Mahler delivered three key messages - clean air, energy efficiency and reliability. Among them, “Clean Air” focuses on contributing to China’s air quality, including the reduction of emissions to achieve air purification outside the vehicle and the improvement of air quality inside the cabin; energy efficiency means the maximum use of energy stored in fuel tanks or batteries. , Minimize losses to improve traffic efficiency; Reliability is mainly for heavy-duty customers. Correspondingly, this show MAHLE highlighted three technologies: the innovative "CareMetix" air conditioning filter, the thermoelectric battery adjustment device and the extremely reliable 1.2 million km MAH power unit without obvious wear.

The “CareMetix” air filter can effectively block the tiny matter and gas particles in the air from entering the cabin, even if it is the finest particles contained in the flow exhaust gas, such as brake fines, diesel soot, tire residue or other tiny particles. Nor can it intercept it. In addition to strong gas adsorption capacity, this filter also has excellent odor eliminating ability. It can eliminate any kind of odor of any intensity and completely neutralize substances such as tar evaporation gas, sulfur, and ammonia from the source. Suppression of odor production. This product is the product that Mahler next wants to push.

The battery temperature control system achieves cooling or heating of the battery through thermoelectric technology to extend the overall service life of the battery and improve the performance and performance of the battery. In Mahler's view, any innovation that contributes to improving traffic efficiency can be attributed to the "energy efficiency" category, whether it be an internal combustion engine, a hybrid drive, or a pure battery-electric system.

The 1.2 million km power unit without obvious wear is mainly used in the field of commercial vehicles. In the commercial vehicle market, many customers require a product life of 1.6 million kilometers, because trucks can run on the road without any trouble for a long time, which is a prerequisite for their profitability. In this regard, Mahler randomly selected a long-haul heavy-duty freight vehicle that drove 1.2 million kilometers during a random inspection and took down its power unit, including cylinder liners, pistons, piston rings, etc., for inspection and analysis. No results were found. Wear, reliability is evident.

Adhere to dual tracks in parallel to meet the new wave of electrification in the global automotive industry

In the past two years, the development of car electrification and network consolidation has been gaining momentum, driving drastic changes in the appearance, interiors, control systems, and power systems of automobiles. In particular, the power system is the key to advancing electrification and achieving energy-saving and emission-reduction. Currently, many vehicle companies and component companies are working to improve the traditional internal combustion engine technology or to promote the electrification of powertrains to meet increasingly stringent emission regulations. It is in this context that Mahler proposed the "two-track parallel strategy."

The so-called “dual-track parallelism” is to optimize the traditional internal combustion engine by reducing friction, optimizing the combustion process, and improving the structure of the intake valve in order to improve the efficiency of the internal combustion engine and achieve energy conservation and emission reduction. On the other hand, it focuses on the electrification of the powertrain and carries out in-depth development in motors, electric auxiliary equipment, and thermal management.

“At present, nearly half of our business is in the passenger vehicle internal combustion engine business category. With the continuous advancement of the “dual-track parallel strategy,” we expect that the latter ratio will gradually drop to 40%. By 2030, it is expected to be 30. About Electrification As for electrification, in recent years we have actively responded to changes in the transportation industry through mergers and acquisitions and other means, such as the expansion of the Thermal Management Division and the establishment of a mechatronics business unit, and we expect the business unit to achieve a mid-term of 500 million Euros. Sales target.” Wolf-Henning Scheider analyzed the current proportion of Mahler's traditional business and emerging business, and the future goals to be achieved in these two technical fields.

Therefore, he revealed that the next Mahle will devote a lot of energy to the field of electric mobility, in which the investment or concern for new energy vehicles is mainly concentrated in two aspects: First, related to thermal management, such as air conditioning systems , environmental control systems, environmental regulation systems, battery temperature control management, etc.; second, motors and related power electronic equipment. Mahler's goal is to become a pioneer or leader in this field. Currently, Mahler's battery temperature control technology for plug-in hybrids is already one of the world market leaders.

However, Mahler also believes that there is still a lot of room for optimization of the internal combustion engine. For example, by optimizing the internal combustion engine, there is at least an additional 10% of the potential for CO2 emission reduction. Therefore, in the next few years, Mahler will continue to maintain relatively large investment in these two areas, as well as in the Chinese market.

“Everyone has also seen that in recent years, especially since the beginning of this year, we have made several adjustments in our business. These are not sudden decisions, but an evolving development process. We hope to establish an electric drive vehicle field. With the same comprehensive system capabilities that we now have in the internal combustion engine field, we will strengthen our strength in new entry areas through mergers and acquisitions. For example, in the next five or six years we will mainly strengthen electronic equipment for electric vehicles. We will continue to evaluate the strengths of our electronic equipment and other areas. In the long run, we will continue to evaluate our existing product portfolio. While focusing on the automotive industry, we will continue to diversify our product portfolio and technology reserves." Talking about recent acquisitions and future mergers and acquisitions Collaborative planning, Wolf-Henning Scheider replied.

“For example, we are more optimistic about the 48V systems we are currently concerned about, especially with the 48V system of electric auxiliary equipment. We are constantly expanding the product portfolio in this area, including electric coolant pumps, air conditioning compressors, radiator fans And so on, because these products not only have the advantages of flexible installation, but also completely avoid the mechanical power consumption of the internal combustion engine - the energy needed for the attachment of the electric engine can be produced through energy recovery, and it has extremely high design precision and freedom. At the Frankfurt Motor Show in November, we will show a full range of 48V motors."

For the Chinese market, Wolf-Henning Scheider said that China is currently the world’s largest auto market, and that in the foreseeable future, China will remain the largest growth driver in the global auto market, as the current number of Chinese autos is only about the equivalent One-sixth of the United States is far from saturated. On the other hand, under the advocacy of the Chinese government, China's new energy vehicle market has also experienced rapid growth in the past two years. With such multiple advantages, Mahler will continue to strengthen its focus on the Chinese market by deepening the "two-track parallel strategy."

“The Chinese market is one of the most important markets for MAHLE in terms of overall volume and growth rate, so we have always maintained a very good cooperation relationship with domestic OEMs, and at the same time we focus on the improvement of domestic independent research and development capabilities. In order to obtain greater room for improvement in the domestic market, we currently have a complete product development capability in our R&D center in Shanghai, and we will open a new compressor plant in Changshu in May to expand our short-range air-conditioning system product line. The output."
