**3. Development Goals**
- Near-term: Three Years and Two Transformations
- Medium-term: Achieve self-reliance and strength
- Long-term: Three FAWs
**4. Brand Strategy**
The brand strategy is a key element of FAW's visual identity system. The “1†character serves as the visual center, while the “steam†character forms an eagle-like wing. This represents FAW as a powerful and dynamic company in the sky. In 2011, FAW ranked ninth on the list of China's 500 Most Valuable Brands with a brand value of 84.266 billion yuan.
**5. Use of China FAW Production Equipment**
5.1 Equipment Structure – Four Major Systems
FAW has formed joint ventures with German Volkswagen, Toyota, GM, and Mazda, creating four distinct manufacturing systems: European, American, Japanese, and domestic. These systems coexist and support FAW's production needs.
5.1.1 Some processes are imported from the autonomous system, while others use domestically produced equipment. Joint venture experience is also referenced.
5.2.1 Processing Center Equipment
German equipment is used in German plants, known for high precision and efficiency. Japanese equipment focuses on comprehensive performance through management and technology integration. Main equipment for engines, transmissions, and Other parts comes from Germany, Japan, Italy, and the U.S.
5.2.2 Gear Processing Equipment
FAW uses rolling shaving for gear processing, combining domestic and imported CNC equipment. Volkswagen uses German equipment for special structural products. Imported equipment is often used for auxiliary gear processing.
5.2.3 Surface Processing Equipment for Shafts and Discs
Domestic CNC lathes are commonly used for pre-heating. For post-heating, imported CNC internal hole grinders and high-precision cylindrical grinders are used for critical components.
5.3 Comprehensive Description of Domestic Peripheral Equipment Use

5.3.3 Overview of Equipment Utilization
- Domestic CNC equipment for rough processing is of good quality but lacks precision in machining centers.
- While 80% of equipment is domestically produced, key components like guides, bearings, and servomotors are foreign-made.
- Some domestic tools and fixtures have quality issues in materials and durability.
**Part II: Current Status of the Machine Tool Industry**
1. Technological Level and Innovation Gap
Domestic machine tools lag behind in technical capability and innovation. FAW relies heavily on imports for advanced equipment, using domestic machines only for low-precision or rough processing.
2. Weak Secondary Development Capability
Most domestic manufacturers import products rather than technologies, leading to limited innovation and reliance on foreign components.
3. Roadmap for Machine Tool Industry Development

4. Weak Competitiveness of Domestic Equipment
- Lack of core technology
- Issues with functional parts and materials
- Foreign companies dominate the market
- Weak brand premium power
**Part III: Innovation and Development of the Machine Tool Industry**
**Opportunities for Innovation**
- Growing auto market with over 18 million vehicles produced annually
- Rapid development of self-owned brands and improved R&D capabilities
- Expansion of production capacity and optimization through technological innovation
- New energy vehicles and lightweight technologies as new growth areas
**Trends and Innovations in the Machine Tool Industry**
Key innovations include automatic water lines, CNC technology, lean production, and high-speed machining. These technologies are central to automotive and aerospace manufacturing. Over 50% of equipment output and profits come from the auto industry.
**Development Trends**
- Automobile manufacturing equipment includes stamping, robots, and complete sets.
- Component manufacturing involves engine and transmission parts.
- Cutting technology trends toward digital, efficient, high-precision, and eco-friendly solutions.
**Dry Machining**
Dry cutting reduces costs and environmental impact, especially when combined with high-speed cutting for better efficiency and quality.
**High-Precision Equipment**
Used for engine parts, molds, and electronics manufacturing.
**Composite Machining Centers**
Ideal for small-batch, complex products.
**Integration**
Combining process systems, logistics, and information systems into flexible automated lines.
**Domestic Auto Machine Tool Innovation**

**Innovation in the Machine Tool Industry**
- Develop high-speed machining centers, gear grinders, CNC lathes, and automation systems.
- Improve tooling with coating technology, measuring systems, and welding fixtures.
- Enhance equipment design for flexibility and user-friendliness.
**Part IV: Suggestions for the Automotive Equipment Manufacturing Industry**
1. Focus on core technology research and secondary development.
2. Promote coordinated development of the equipment industry chain, including guides, bearings, and servos.
3. Synchronize with automakers to meet user needs and ensure technical independence.
By following these strategies, the Chinese automotive equipment industry can achieve self-sufficiency, control, and sustainable growth.
