During the just-concluded EMO 2017, the Oxford Economic Forecasting Center organized associations to hold a market forecasting coordination meeting. One of the topics discussed at the meeting was the impact of the development of electric vehicles on the machine tool market. Coincidentally, this issue was involved in the exchanges with the German Machinery and Equipment Manufacturers Association (VDMA) and in the reporters' press conference at the China Machine Tool Industry Association. From this point of view, the global machine tool industry is concerned about the impact of electric vehicles on the future market.
Since there is no engine, the gearbox is relatively simplified. The number of parts for pure electric vehicles is only about 200, which is one-sixth of that of conventional internal combustion engines. If all fuel vehicles are replaced, it is conservatively estimated that the consumption of machine tools and tools will be greatly reduced. above 50.
However, is pure electric vehicle really economical and environmentally friendly than petroleum fuel vehicles? Then, battery life and recycling, cruising range, infrastructure and many other factors need to be fully considered. China is the world's largest automobile manufacturing country. It is actively promoting the development of pure electric vehicles. It has just begun to discuss the timetable for the withdrawal of petroleum fuel vehicles from the market. However, it is still unknown when it will start this timetable.
Although the parties have no conclusions about WHEN (time) and HOW (how), in any case, machine tool companies should consider where to transform.
At EMO 2017, we saw too many companies, whose products ranged from tools to mainframes, from inspection instruments to functional components, in preparation for the Industry 4.0 era, and some “outside the industry†companies took advantage of this opportunity, with machine tools. Tool companies cooperate to develop big data platforms, develop enterprise-level interconnection technologies, and provide users with intelligent factories. In short, it can be foreseen that regardless of the hardware market of machine tools in the future, enterprises must reflect their own value and enhance market competitiveness through services.
