There is no doubt that Japan's Mitsubishi has almost monopolized the supply of gasoline engines for all independent brand cars that cannot produce their own engines. Mitsubishi, which does not have a high market share in the Chinese vehicle market, set up Aerospace Mitsubishi in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, in 1997, and Dong'an Mitsubishi in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, in 1998, under the matchmaking of Mr. Yang Rong, a giant of the Chinese automobile industry at that time, to produce gasoline engines with medium and small displacements respectively, which were used to support the Hafei, Southeast, and Brilliance companies at that time. With the rise of Chery, Geely, Brilliance, BYD and other independent brands before and after 1999, at the beginning of their construction can not produce their own engines, Mitsubishi invested in China's two engine company's performance soared, really made a lot of money.
According to incomplete statistics, the use of Dong'an Mitsubishi engine models are: BYD F3, Brilliance Junjie, Southeast Lancer, Lingyue, Xiwang, Hafei Saima, Sai Pao, Zotye 5008, Fengxing Jingyi, Changfeng Feiteng ......
Using the Shenyang Aerospace Mitsubishi engine models are: BYD F6. Brilliance Zunchi, Junjie, Jinbei Hai Lion, Chery Oriental Son, Ford Transit, JAC Binyue, Shanghai Yinglun TX4, Dihao EC8, Southeast Lingyue, Junge, Golan, JLF, Haima 3, Liuqi Fengxing MPV, Changfeng Cheetah, Great Wall Haval, Jiayu, Huatai Trakka, Beiqi Vicente, Knight, Foton Monpac, Scenic, Zhengzhou Nissan Aldean, ZTE Unlimited, Weihu, Aurum Aurum and Qisheng. ......
Diesel engines:
Isuzu is undoubtedly the king when it comes to light-duty diesel engines. The Japanese diesel engine and commercial vehicle giant set up Qingling Motors and Jiangling Motors in Chongqing, Sichuan Province, and Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, China, respectively, as early as 1984 and 1985, and began producing Isuzu pickups, light trucks, and the 4JB1 engines that go with them. With the launch of Ford Transit, Foton Scenic and other light trucks, Isuzu engines have found a blue ocean in the light truck market. Now, almost all the diesel engines used in pickup trucks, light trucks and light buses in China are sourced from Isuzu or produced using Isuzu technology.
In terms of heavy-duty diesel engines, the U.S. company Cummins Inc. is in a league of its own. This U.S. independent engine manufacturer only in the production of the whole engine in China to establish four companies: Dongfeng Cummins, Xi'an Cummins, Chongqing Cummins, Cummins, Foton, supporting the scope of the Dongfeng, Shaanqi Heavy Duty Trucks, Chongqing Iron Horse, Foton Omni and other heavy-duty trucks, Yutong, Jinlong, Youth, Zhongtong, and other buses, as well as Sany Heavy Industry, Zoomlion Heavy Industries, Xugong, and other construction machinery enterprises. It can be said that Cummins has almost monopolized China's high-end heavy-duty diesel engine market.
