As the country's economic development has shifted from the high-speed phase to the medium-high-speed phase, coupled with the gradual saturation of market demand, the pace of development of most enterprises in the machinery sector and the pace of market development have slowed down in recent years. Against this backdrop, the long-lasting explosiveness demonstrated by the Shaanxi Automobile Transmission Group in innovation and development is remarkable. Fast Group takes technology innovation as the leading factor, intensifies the research and development of new products, leads the market with high-performance products, and has achieved remarkable results. Its transmission product has a domestic market share of more than 70%, and the development of foreign markets is also Wind and water. Recently, we interviewed Yan Jianbo, chairman of Shaanxi Fast Group, and conducted an exclusive interview on the innovative concept and development strategy of Fast Group.
Shaanxi Daily Interview with Fast Chairman Yan Jianbo
Reporter: At present, in the field of equipment manufacturing, the competitiveness of enterprises comes from its innovative R&D capabilities, and Fast has been able to lead the market in recent years thanks to its excellent ability to innovate. What are the competitive advantages of Fast at present?
Yan Jianbo: As we all know, the field of heavy truck transmissions is a highly competitive market, and the market is ruthless. If an enterprise wants to survive, develop, and grow, it must allow the innovation concept to penetrate into every level of the enterprise. Through management innovation, institutional innovation, technological innovation, and service innovation, the product market competitiveness is finally highlighted.
In recent years, Fast has given full play to its advantages in equipment manufacturing, leading technology, market and brand advantages, and leading advantages in the industry, and has continuously accelerated the progress in energy conservation, environmental protection, automation, intelligence, and research and development of new energy core components, with remarkable results. At present, the eight series of new products, such as AT hydraulic automatic transmission, AMT automatic transmission, S transmission, passenger car transmission, light truck transmission, hydraulic retarder, clutch, and speed reducer, developed and manufactured by Fast have matured, filling many domestic The market gap has achieved new breakthroughs in the field of commercial vehicle transmission systems and new energy technologies. It has quickly seized the market's commanding heights, created a new situation in the internationalization, diversification, and high-end development of enterprises, and injected continuous competitiveness for the development of enterprises.
