"(Sedan) production qualification is no longer a problem, Fukuda is currently very likely to get the qualification of car production." On January 19, a source close to Foton Motor revealed in an interview with the Economic Observer. Despite the flash of the word, the Economic Observer reporter learned from various interviews that Futian’s car production qualification has been successfully achieved.

Futian’s plan to enter the sedan market has been around for a long time. It has been a full 12 years since the car was planned in 2004. However, during this period, Futian’s game “by the merchants into the sedan” has not been successful. Later, Futian changed its mindset, revived Baowo as an investor and released the passenger car brand gamma. In addition to the sedan field, it gradually moved to other passenger vehicles.

On January 8th, Futian Automobile's passenger car brand - "Beijing Futian Jiatu" was released. Previously subject to problems such as production qualifications and the involvement of BAIC Group, the Futian Auto Car Project was repeatedly postponed. But now, the key issue of car production qualification has been resolved.

"This is no longer a problem." A senior Fukuda told reporters. However, for the qualification of car production, Futian Automobile has been swaying at the top and bottom, and the outside world cannot clarify the method for Futian to obtain the qualification for car production. Previously, Futian insiders had repeatedly “released the wind” to obtain the qualification for car production.

But at the crucial moment of the resurrection of Baowo, Futian may not repeat the previous drama. Once the car production qualification is successfully obtained, Foton Motor's car dream will find a realistic path to realize, and the Foton car sedan project is expected to completely get rid of the stage of “paper talk”. But for Futian, the road to the car has just begun.

At present, in the manufacture of passenger cars, there are few successful cases of “latecomers”, and the Chinese car market has slowed down sharply, and the brand has entered the era of intensive farming.

Qualification mystery

"We (production qualifications) should be no problem, and the outside world will soon see the results. Now the country's industrial policies are changing, as long as you have the ability to meet the conditions, the future policy is to be in peace. After-the-fact supervision, that is, lenient and strict." Futian Automobile Strategic M&A related person in the interview with the Economic Observer reported that Futian's confidence in obtaining car production qualifications.

The industry believes that for Futian, the specific way to obtain qualifications is no more than the following ways: on the one hand, it may be that the policy background is good for Futian to obtain the qualification of car production; on the other hand, it may be Fukuda's own efforts. A certain agreement and tacit agreement with BAIC to achieve the acquisition of qualifications; it may also be obtained through mergers and acquisitions, restructuring. "It should be related to mergers and acquisitions and restructuring. As a listed company, it is necessary to issue an announcement. There is no such public information at present." The auto industry analyst familiar with Foton Motor told reporters that the favorable policy background may be a dream of the Fukuda sedan. The key reason. In fact, the transformation of the policy winds has already emerged.

At a public meeting at the end of 2015, the Minister of Industry and Information Technology, Miao Wei, said: "We want to break the life-long system of the qualification of automobile production enterprises, establish a dynamic management mechanism with advances and exits, and the survival of the fittest, and urge the backward enterprises to increase Major technological transformation, transformation and upgrading. In addition, some sources revealed that Foton Motor has reached an agreement with BAIC Group to acquire the qualification of the car through Beiqi's new passenger car brand and use it under the Futian Automobile. But for this matter, BAIC has not yet responded.

At present, Foton Motor has fully considered the capacity of the car. On December 11 last year, the contents of the announcement issued by Foton Motor showed that 100,000 production capacity of the Futian Miyun plant will be adjusted to car products, and the production capacity of 80,000 other passenger cars will be retained. At this point, the outside world has thought that the Futian sedan dream finally found the realistic path of realization.

For the specific planning and branding of the capacity of Futian Automobile's 100,000 cars, the outside world has not received more detailed information. The Economic Observer reporter learned that Fukuda will use the capacity of 100,000 cars through OEM. “The plant in Miyun has allocated 100,000 units of capacity for the car. This is mainly a foundry of Foton Motor. The other party is in the form of independent car. It must be emphasized that the brand and Fukuda are operated independently, the specific capital. How to define the level is not easy to say now." In mid-January, a Futian auto executive revealed in an interview.

Road to transformation

It is reported that the capacity of the Foton Motor Miyun plant to divide 100,000 cars will probably be left to the German Baowo brand, which is revived as an investor. In fact, in the announcement about adjusting the 100,000 capacity for the car project, there are already clues.

Foton Motor said that in order to ensure business development, Foton Motor Co., Ltd. is jointly developing R&D centers in China and Germany. Second, it is vigorously introducing the operational talents of multinational auto companies. At present, Baowo's first SUV Baowo BX7 model has been put on the environmental protection catalogue. The capacity of 100,000 cars may be reserved for Baowo's car layout.

At the Frankfurt Motor Show officially re-launched at Baowo, Hua Lixin, chairman of Baowo Auto (China), revealed in an interview with this reporter that Baowo will lay out the sedan market to occupy the voice of the mainstream market. First of all, we will focus on all SUV products, but in the future, new car products will be put into the market one after another.” But Futian insiders have repeatedly stressed that Baowo is an international car brand, and Fukuda is more about Baowo. The role of investors and foundries, Baowo will maintain the identity of a pure, independent German car company.

On the road to transformation, in addition to cars, Foton Motor will continue to exert its strength in other passenger vehicles. In the future, Foton gamma will be an important brand and channel for its realization of “business transfer”. As a new passenger car brand built by Fukuda for five years and invested 6 billion yuan, for the future of gamma, Fukuda has a plan that seems to be radical for outsiders: "Gatway will be committed to building millions of passenger cars. With the car brand, the sales target exceeded 10,000 units in 2020, and the contribution to the company's sales reached 30%."

At present, there are three series of T, V and i models under the gamut. Among the five models that have already been launched, the ix5 and ix7 are heavy models of Foton GI. In the future, Foton gamma will launch the “FR model” on the basis of the i series and plan two new MPVs, which are divided into two different styles: business version and sports version. “This year, we hope that the annual sales volume of the Gato brand will reach 160,000 units, of which the ix series is expected to sell 80,000 units, and the V series and T series can sell 80,000 units.” The head of Beijing Futian Gaitu Branch is so The media said.

In addition, according to the strategic plan of the 13th Five-Year Plan of Foton Motor Group, Foton Motor will combine the next stage of development with new energy, pure electric, plug-in and hybrid cars and Internet vehicles as the main line, and continue to adhere to the 12th Five-Year Plan. Proposed transformation and integration of growth, innovation and development strategy of connected cars. By 2025, the proportion of its new energy vehicles and Internet vehicles accounted for more than 50%.
