Tricyclic Clutch: Growing in Competition with Multinational Companies


In recent years, as foreign companies have entered the Chinese market on a large scale, Chinese-funded clutch companies have lost their right to speak with their joint ventures or "retreated to the second line" in the competition. Faced with this situation, people who are committed to developing the autonomy of China's auto industry can not help but pinch their sweat for the future of the industry: Will the clutch industry repeat the mistakes of other auto parts industries and form foreign companies or joint ventures? Do you dominate the world?

“Multinational companies are not terrible. The key is how to deal with them.” Facing the concerns of people in the industry, Zhang Jun, chairman and general manager of Hubei Sanhuan Clutch Co., Ltd., seems to have confidence in the future development.

Tricyclic Clutch Co., Ltd. is located in Huangshi Hi-tech Development Zone in Hubei Province. The company was founded in 1954. In 1989, through the introduction of French Valeo's diaphragm spring clutch manufacturing technology and key equipment, the main business was transformed into the production of diaphragm spring clutches. The design capacity is annual production of 1.5 million sets of diaphragm spring clutches.

After nearly 20 years of development, the clutch products of Tricyclic Clutch Co., Ltd. cover the fields of mini-vehicles, sedans, light trucks, China Cards, heavy trucks, and passenger cars, and become the exclusive or main suppliers of more than 30 OEMs such as FAW Group and Dongfeng Company. .

Zhang Jun told reporters that the reason why Tricyclic Clutch Co., Ltd. can still achieve outstanding results in competition with many multinational corporations is to find its own comparative advantage.

"Foreign capital or joint ventures is just a 'shell'. If we want to improve our products or introduce new products that are more adaptable to Chinese customers, we must go abroad and the process is longer than ours." Zhang Jun said that foreign capital or joint ventures Constrained by this, it is impossible to quickly respond to market changes, which also gives Chinese clutch companies an opportunity.

However, Zhang Jun still has a clear understanding of the gap between foreign capital and joint ventures.

"The competition with them has made us profoundly aware of our own disadvantages. It is difficult to catch up and exceed them."

To this end, the three-ring clutch on the one hand has increased research and development efforts, and on the other hand, it has paid close attention to quality control.

According to reports, by closely following the international advanced level and actively developing new products, Tricyclic Clutch Co., Ltd. currently has the ability to develop clutches that meet its specific requirements for customers; in order to ensure product quality, the company conducts rigorous inspections on manufactured products.

After several years of hard work, the company has developed new products such as dual-mass flywheel clutches and successfully passed Ford's supporting system test, which will soon be supported by Jiangling.

“Ford Motor Company requires the clutch to pass 15,000 consecutive shift tests. We can pass this standard to show that we have not much difference in the quality of individual products with multinational companies.” Zhang Jun said. "The strength of their lies in the consistency of production that is better than ours, but as long as we do well in ourselves, we can achieve the same level as they do."
