In 1860, French worker Luno Al invented an internal combustion engine. In 1879, German engineer Karl Benz improved the internal combustion engine and successfully tested a two-stroke experimental engine. In 1885, the first three-wheeled car powered by this engine was developed. It is recognized as the world's first Hyundai car.
1901, in the 27th year of the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, Hungarian Leinz brought two cars into Shanghai, which was the first time Hyundai Motor entered China.

The late 19th century, the early 20th century was the moment of the world's automobile industry's first explosion. In 1886, in 1890, in 1890, in 1877, in 1895, in Italy's Sofia Motor, in Italy, in 1899, in the United States, in the United States, in 1902, in the United States, in the United States, Ford Motor, in the United States, in 1903, in the United States, in 1906, in the United Kingdom, in 1909, in 1911, in the United States, in 1916, in Germany, in 1916, in the United States, in 193, in the United States, in the United States, in 1906, in the United Kingdom, in the United States, in 1909, in the United States, in 1911, in the United States, in the United States, in 1916, in the United States, in the United States, in the United States, in the United States, in the United States, in the United States, in the United States, in the United States, in the United States, in the United States, in the United States, in the United States, in the United States, in the United States, in the United States, in the United States, in the United States, in the United States, in the United States, in the United States, in the United States, in the United States, in the United States, in the United States, in the United States, in the United States, in the United States, in the United States, in the United States, in the United States, in the United States, in the United States, in the United States, in the United States, in the United States, in the United States, in the United States, in the United States, in the United States, in the United States, in the United States, in the United States, in the United States, in the United States, in the United States, in the United States, in the United BMW.
China has always wanted to establish its own national automobile industry. In 1931, Mr. Zhang Xueliang, the Northeast , first put the idea of car manufacturing into practice and created Minsheng Brand Type 75 truck in Liaoning.
After the founding of New China, everything was in trouble. The construction of the motherland required a large number of cars. my country seized the opportunity and, with the assistance of the Soviet Union, built Changchun No. 1 Automobile Manufacturing Plant and other enterprises in 1953. In 1956, FAW built the first Jiefang car . By the end of 1956, FAW had produced a total of 1,654 Jiefang cars.
Compared with freight cars, cars need higher technical requirements. Manufacturing cars must achieve a wonderful balance in various aspects such as cost, safety, stability, and iteration speed. Only by making cars can the manufacturing capacity of a country represent the true strength of a car manufacturing. The first domestic sedan in my country was born in 1958. The Dongfeng brand sedan was manufactured by the Changchun First Automobile Manufacturing Factory, which was aided by the Soviet Union, thus opening the historical chapter of my country's national sedan industry.
However, due to the poor industrial level in my country at that time and the blockade of our technology by Western countries, the development progress of my country's sedan industry was extremely slow.
The sedan we were most capable of at that time was undoubtedly FAW's Hongqi , but until it was stopped due to quality problems in 1981, we only produced 1,540 vehicles. At that time, Ford's annual production capacity was about 450,000 vehicles. Volkswagen annual production is about 370,000 vehicles. Our close neighbor Japan was sanctioned after World War II . In the 1960s, it began to seize opportunities and develop rapidly, becoming a world economic power. After the world oil crisis in the 1970s, Japanese cars Honda Toyota and others rose rapidly with the characteristics of low fuel consumption and occupied the automobile markets of countries around the world. In 1976, Japan's annual automobile exports reached 2.5 million vehicles.
In 1978, reform and opening up, all walks of life in my country developed rapidly, people's lives continued to improve, and the demand for family cars was also increasing. The Chinese automobile industry developed in an almost closed environment, except for the initial technical assistance from the Soviet Union, almost no foreign technology was introduced systematically. At this time, the development of domestic automobiles was seriously lagging behind, with high costs and poor performance. They were small workshop-style manual production and could not meet domestic demand.
After the reform and opening up, with the opening of the country's doors, we found that compared with the technology between the automobile industry in developed countries, we were much behind. Not only was the technical foundation weak, but the scale was also small, and the technical level was not as high as that of Western countries before World War II. In order to promote the development of my country's automobile industry, the country has to exchange market for technology and embark on the road of joint ventures with Western countries to build cars. It is planned to introduce a number of automobile assembly lines and carry out external assembly business. The main purpose is to learn advanced foreign technologies and take the opportunity to transform domestic backward automobile manufacturing factories. my country has sent invitation letters to well-known car manufacturers around the world to discuss cooperation matters, such as GM and Ford, French Renault amount, Japanese Nissan and Toyota, German Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen. In the next few years, the country has successively supported the three major car manufacturers of FAW, Second Automobile and SAIC, as well as the three small car manufacturers of , Beijing Jeep , Tianjin Xiali and Guangzhou Peugeot to jointly build cars with foreign automobile manufacturers.
The mainstream idea of joint venture car manufacturing is to "change market technology", but the facts prove that this is just wishful thinking. Over-protection of policies not only fails to curb the ability to resist risks by itself, but under the care of a "paternal" style, the automobile industry has become a profitable industry. Although my country has been advocating " market for technology " from beginning to end and adopting "joint ventures" to introduce advanced technologies, the high profits under the lack of reasonable competition have given the Chinese automobile industry a joint venture path to take the "narcotics". The number of cars made by major automobile manufacturers is increasing and the interests are increasing, but the technology has not been improved. The key core technology is still in the hands of foreign car companies. my country's joint venture car companies can only obtain a small amount of assembly OEM fees, and most of the profits are taken away by joint venture foreign companies. Moreover, the continuous growth of joint venture car companies has further compressed the living space of other domestic car brands. During this period, most domestic car brands have gradually gone bankrupt.
For the past hundred years, fuel vehicles have always been the most widely used means of transportation. A fuel vehicle is a vehicle that uses fuel as its source of power. The three core components of fuel vehicles: engine, chassis, and gearbox are always in the hands of Western countries. Although my country has a complete industrial system, it is still difficult to obtain a market in the international market and can only rely on low prices to enter the Southeast Asian and African markets on a small scale. Up to now, the three core components of fuel vehicles, the engine, chassis, and gearbox, have almost been monopolized by Western countries in the past ten years.
The top three brands in the field of automotive engines are German BMW , GM in the United States, and Ford in the United States. There is no brand in my country in the top ten.
Automobile chassis top three brands in the field of automotive chassis are German Bosch , Japanese DENSO, and German Continental. Only Weichai and Fukang are on the list.
Automotive gearbox market share in the top three brands are Germany ZF , Japan Aisin, Japan JATCO. The top ten places are only Fast in my country.
In the field of fuel vehicles, my country is far behind developed countries, but oil is a non-renewable resource and will sooner or later be used to exhaust it. Therefore, in recent decades, countries have begun to be keen on developing new energy vehicle technology. New energy vehicles refer to cars with advanced technology using unconventional automotive fuel as power source and integrating advanced technologies in vehicle power control and driving, forming advanced technology principles, new technologies and new structures.
New energy vehicles include pure electric vehicles, extended-range electric vehicles, hybrid cars, fuel cell electric vehicles, hydrogen engine cars, etc.
The cumulative sales of global new energy vehicles in 2021 were nearly 6.5 million, an increase of 108% over the same period last year. The new energy vehicle market developed rapidly in 2021, with annual sales exceeding 3.5 million vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 157.8%, accounting for 53.8% of the world.
China's new energy vehicle industry has developed relatively late, but thanks to my country's rich raw materials and complete industrial system, my country's new energy vehicle industry has developed rapidly. In just 20 years, we have not only established a complete new energy vehicle supply chain system, but also in the core areas of new energy vehicles: batteries, motors, and electronic controls, which have basically achieved localization, and some core technologies have even surpassed Western developed countries.
The top three brands in the new energy vehicle battery field are my country's CATL , BYD , and Super Wei . All the top ten brands are my country's brands.
The top three brands in the field of new energy vehicle motors are my country's Fudi Power and Founder Motors, as well as the United States' Tesla . Seven of the top ten are my country's brands.
The top three brands in the field of electronic control of new energy vehicles are my country's Fudi Power and Huichuan Technology , and the United States' Tesla. Six of the top ten are my country's brands.
From fuel vehicles to new energy vehicles, my country has truly overtaken on the curve, giving thumbs up to the Chinese nation, and wishing our automobile industry a better tomorrow.
