In recent years, the rapid development of the automobile industry has made many people see profitable, and even attracted some big businessmen to enter the automobile industry, such as Wuliangye, Gree, and Evergrande. However, there is a saying that interlaced is like a mountain. For now, these interline rides have not achieved much success. However, in the auto industry, there is still a reverse crossover. You think he is just a car maker, but he is doing arms-making activities behind his back. I bet a pack of spicy strips, you don't know these 4 car companies!
Speaking of Mitsubishi, the most familiar model may be the off-road model of Pajero, which has an off-road capability that rivals Prado. In addition, Mitsubishi Motors also has an EVO performance car that is also a "sacred car" in the eyes of many car fans. However, although Mitsubishi is a Japanese car, it is not as famous in China as "Liangtian and Yisan". Some people even think that Mitsubishi is a Japanese car brand that is about to fall.
Then, Mitsubishi is not simple. Mitsubishi's main business in the automotive industry is not to build and sell cars, but to sell engines. In the early days, most of the independent brands could not produce engines and suffered from technical blockades, but at this time, only Mitsubishi was willing to sell engines to independent brands, and also packaged with gearboxes. Even now, there are still many independent brands still using Mitsubishi engines, such as BYD, Geely, Great Wall and Zotye. It can be said that although Mitsubishi's cars are not selling well in the Chinese market, it even makes more money than the Japanese Sanjie by relying on engines!
Not only that, but automobile manufacturing is actually a very small industry of Mitsubishi. I believe many people have heard of Mitsubishi Steel Manufacturing and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. What's more, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is a famous Japanese military enterprise and the largest in Japan. Defense companies, such as the production of F-2 and F-15J fighter jets and Type 90 tanks, have a pivotal position in the military industry. It can be said that half of the weapons and equipment in the Japanese Self-Defense Force are from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, including Fighters, submarines, even destroyers and more! In 2014, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute in Sweden announced the top 100 companies in the world for arms sales in 2013, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries ranked 27th, which shows that its status in the world is not ordinary!
For Volvo, everyone is very familiar with it! A car company acquired by Geely, and therefore, makes Geely's value soar. However, many people don't know that the reason why Geely was able to easily acquire Volvo is because this was originally an insignificant industry in the Volvo Group!
Although Volvo is a car company that started with the car business, its current main focus is on the heavy truck sector. At present, Volvo has become one of the world's largest truck manufacturers and the world's second largest manufacturer of heavy trucks. Many people should have seen a promotional video about Volvo Trucks. It can be said that Volvo's trucks are the business with the greatest potential for future development, and leaving the passenger car business aside, it is beneficial to Volvo's development.
In addition, Volvo is also a world-renowned manufacturer of commercial vehicles, which also involves various machinery for aerospace and aviation equipment! The recent episodes of
seem to have a lot of topics related to Hyundai, but nowadays, Hyundai Motor is frustrated everywhere in China, and it even makes people think that this is a car brand abandoned by Chinese consumers. However, despite its poor performance in the Chinese market, it is very popular all over the world and even has a great influence in the international automotive industry.
In 2019 alone, the Hyundai Motor brand under the Hyundai Group completed 4.42 million car sales. Although its Kia’s performance is not as good as Hyundai, it also sold 2.84 million units, ranking eighth in the world! It can be said that except for industry leaders such as Volkswagen and Toyota, it should be difficult to find a rival for this great achievement! Of course, Hyundai Group's reputation in the international arena is also good. Compared with the domestic situation, it can be said that it is a celestial and an underground treatment!
Speaking of BYD, it will not be too surprising to know a little bit. As an independent brand, BYD is also considered a leader in the domestic auto industry. And its greatest achievement lies in new energy, and even Mercedes-Benz and Toyota are willing to cooperate with them.Also develop in the field of new energy. You know, even Tesla, the recognized eldest brother of new energy vehicles, does not have this treatment!
The reason why BYD is so prominent in new energy is that it is also an "electronics industry and battery industry" and one of the world's leading mobile phone foundries. With this advantage, it will naturally be able to obtain certain opportunities in the battery industry. Just take the advent of the blade battery, you can see how strong it is.
In addition, BYD is also involved in the medical industry. During the epidemic, you have seen BYD's ability to produce masks. Moreover, BYD Auto already has its own IGBT chip, leaving aside the technical level for the time being, at least it has broken the overseas monopoly in this regard!
In addition, BYD actually has a military background!
