SFH Produced 8367 unit engine in May &Hit a Record High Again

2020-06-11
In May 31th,2020, SFH (SAIC Fiat Hongyan Powertrain Co., Ltd.) held a ceremony to celebrity the monthly 8367 units engines off-line, this number is a new monthly high in history, increased by 16.41% month-on-month, creating the another highest monthly production and sales record for SFH after the production volume exceeded 7,000 units in April. Faced with the impact of the COVID-19, SFH has established a leading position with FPT lean innovation and technical strength, and has won users recognition around the world with excellent product quality. The overall increase in production and sales in May not only reflects SFH strategic deployment and response to the epidemic crisis, but also the performance of market recognition.


Establish Market Leading Position with Excellent Factory Management System

The sales volume of the heavy truck market in the first four months of 2020 showed a V-shaped trend curve. Although sales in January achieved a good start, reaching a high record, in February and March, the market continued to plummet down; until April, with The COVID-19 impact gradually subsided, the market returned to the upward trend, and showed a development momentum of both production and sales. As a powertrain supplier, in order to fully respond to the tide of user orders for resumption of work, under the framework of WCM (World Class Manufacturing) management system, SFH formulate production organization plans and emergency pre-control plans scientifically. Without any slack grasp of prevention and control in one hand and Focusing on resumption of work  with another hand, All employees are motivated, working overtime and igniting full power, and using the power of the whole factory to ensure production to meet the order needs of dealers and users as soon as possible. By extending the WCM (World Class Manufacturing) management system to all processes and even suppliers, reducing the waste of time and resources by enhance the reliability of the production system and utilization to achieve the "5 zero" in the production process, that are zero accidents , Zero failure, zero scrap, zero defects and zero inventory. At present, SFH has four cylinder head production lines and two assembly production lines, of which the cylinder head production lines are equipped with 40 large-scale machining centers, production lines is keeping on within 24-hour, and ultimately not only sales and production exceed 8,000 units monthly and achieves the historical breakthrough, but also contributes an important force to the recovery of domestic consumption


Winning Global User Recognition with FPT Lean Innovation Technology Strength

With the continued advancement of the Blue Sky Defense and the implementation of the GBVI, China is imperative to phase out GBIII and old diesel vehicles. As the main promoter of China's diesel engines, SFH has been able to meet the needs of users for high-standard and low-emission products with FPT strong technical reserves. For example, in terms of matching with SAIC Hongyan Vehicles and in accordance with the needs of Chinese users and actual operating conditions, the two parties have done a lot of sufficient work from the prospective research and development stage, system integration, to actual road tests, and achieved Optimized matching of Hongyan vehicles. In terms of technological innovation, SFH GBVI engine uses a highly efficient Hi-eSCR system that is not EGR designed. This technology is the result of more than 26 years research based on SCR technology by Fiat Power Technology. It can achieve ultra-high conversion efficiency of nitrogen oxides> 95%. It does not require additional equipment technology to make up for the lost power; nor does it require a larger engine size and cooling system to reduce the additional heat dissipation it brings, greatly reducing the cost of use. Compared with competitive products in the industry, it can reduce fuel consumption by 3%, the maintenance interval of DPF has also been increased by 20%, which will contribute to a quite lower maintenance cost.

 

Behind the breakthroughs in production and sales are the hard works and coordinated operations of all SFH employees. As one of the largest diesel engine manufacturing enterprises in China, SFH has always adhered to user-centered and market-oriented, focused on the global market, continuously promoted the high matching of the full range of products, all fields, and all platforms, and continuously improved the future-oriented ability. In the future, SFH will continue to make persistent efforts, take advantage of the pursuit, create more outstanding performance, achieve a new round of faster and better development of the company, and create more value for users
