Passenger cars continue to maintain their advantages

At the beginning of 2009, with the gradual implementation of the country’s 4 trillion yuan subsidy, the start of infrastructure construction, and the implementation of the “car to the countryside” policy, the Chinese auto industry has experienced a warm spring momentum after experiencing the cold winter of 2008. While other companies are busy cutting production capacity to deal with the impact of the financial crisis, Yuchai has received orders. This is due to Yuchai’s full exploration of the market segments.

From January to December of 2009, the total passenger car industry decreased by 8%. Yuchai bus engine sales exceeded 88,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 6%. The market share increased from 52% in 2008 to 61%, once again showing a trend of Yuchai.

Obtaining such good sales results is inseparable from the correct marketing strategy. Last year, in the marketing of truck engine marketing, Yuchai fully tapped the market demand, implemented the dynamic quarterly work focus from the sales characteristics of the truck market, and did not miss one. Missing order. In the first half of 2009, the peak season of the engineering vehicle market triggered by the nation’s infrastructure construction and post-disaster reconstruction opportunities has focused on ensuring the production of engine orders for construction vehicles. In May 2009, the sales of road vehicles began to rebound rapidly, and the truck business focused on cutting into the output of road vehicles.

Marketing innovation

At the beginning of 2009, in the face of the impact of the financial crisis on the Chinese truck market, Yuchai broke the traditional way of thinking. Based on the experience of operating in the heavy truck market in recent years, Yuchai implemented a new marketing model combining brand marketing and market promotion. The main engine plant and the protection of market resources are at the top of the list. The sales leaders personally lead the company, leading the relevant personnel in the technology, business, and marketing departments to travel around for a long time and connect with the key host manufacturers and core distributors. Through continuous communication with key OEMs, the company strengthened the sharing of dynamic market information and promoted Yuchai Engine's product planning into the OEM.

According to relevant person in charge, in order to protect each heavy machine order, the business divisions of the marketing departments of Yuchai’s various divisions have re-divided the business area and assigned special person area business to manage, in order to realize the full monitoring and control of the heavy machine order business and timely follow up the heavy machine. The deployment of spare parts effectively guarantees the delivery of heavy machine orders.

It is aimed at these market opportunities, Yuchai's performance in the three major sectors of trucks, buses, and general machinery have achieved a converse trend. In the truck sector, sales from January to October 2009 exceeded 260,000 units, an increase of 26% year-on-year, of which sales of heavy-duty trucks with 240-horsepower and above were up 25% year-on-year; sales of large-tonnage heavy trucks 6M/6L engines were up 96% year-on-year; truck sales It is expected to exceed 310,000 units throughout the year.

Behind the amazing performance

Why Yuchai's market performance is alarming? Wei Anli, deputy secretary-general of the China Internal Combustion Engine Industry Association, said: “Yuchai has achieved four major families in product segmentation; Yuchai adopted a strategy of going global in its market strategy.”

In December 2006, Yuchai established Xiamen Yuchai Engine Co., Ltd. in Xiamen and walked to the door of Xiamen Jinlong; in September 2009, Yuchai Engine and Jirui United Truck Co., Ltd. jointly funded Yuchai United Power 6K plant project. Construction started in Wuhu City, Anhui Province.

“Relying on the headquarters and layout of the domestic market” is an important measure for Yuchai’s expansion of the engine core business segment and broadening product coverage. It is also an important step for Yuchai to build a global presence and build a multinational enterprise group. According to predictions from the automotive industry, the Chinese auto industry will have to reach an annual production capacity of 26 million by 2015. According to this development rate, China's internal combustion engine industry will develop from a manufacturing country to a manufacturing powerhouse five years later. After Yuchai has grown from strong to strong, what is the market goal? It must be an overseas market.

In this regard, Yuchai has long been prepared. In 2008, Yuchai put forward the international strategic positioning of “building a world-famous brand and accomplishing a large multinational enterprise group” and strive to achieve export volume of 10% to 20% of annual sales and sales in two to three years. At present, Yuchai has made breakthroughs in Southeast Asia, Africa, Latin America and Eastern Europe.
