Compared with foreign counterparts, China's general application level of automobile industry information is very low, but domestic auto industry is accelerating action.

To achieve the same day pickup, which in other industries did not seem to be special, but in today's China's automobile industry it is a pioneering work, why can achieve this state of affairs? As the high sophisticated information industry accelerates the development of the automobile industry.

Active automotive IT construction

In particular for some automobile listed companies, these enterprises with funds, mechanisms, and many other advantages, they show great enthusiasm and confidence in developing e-commerce. Yutong Bus Program and the United States professional e-commerce consultants Abcov Company and Jiangsu Information Industry Co., Ltd. take tripartite cooperation to establish a influential e-commerce platform in the national automotive industry; Dongfeng Electron-instrument pioneers e-commerce activities through the acquisition of Shanghai Hongyuan-card Network Holdings Ltd., using the "car people network card" to expand the company online trading business, and is fully committed to developing auto and auto parts' e-commerce; Chang'an Automobile is also planning to build Chang'an Information Technology Co., Ltd., responsible for e-commerce application platform of Chang'an company.

All along, the automotive industry is one of the largest buyers of China's information system. As early as 2001, Shanghai invested 100 million Yuan to set up the Shanghai Automotive Information Industry Investment Limited. Only Shanghai General Motors Co., Ltd., invested eight over 10 million U.S. dollars at that time in building an information management system.

So far, some large automobile plants, in particular, Sino-foreign joint ventures, the overall level of information technology has reached a higher level, the FAW-Volkswagen, Shanghai Volkswagen, Shanghai GM, Chang'an Automobile and Jiangling Group, etc. perform more remarkable in this regard. Basically achieved advanced information-based manufacturing, such as: the use of wide variety of business information technologies formed by combining modern information technology and manufacturing: CAD, CAM, CAPP, FMS, CIMS, etc. At the same time, they all have their own websites and internal information network system, some enterprises have also invested large amounts of funds to further improve and expand its facilities and functions.

However, in China's growing automotive industry, more new recruits are very lack of information application. Although after several rounds of price war, the automotive industry in China is still a highly profitable industry. The development of the industry in China, is not as most people imagined that the level of information was armed to the teeth, car manufacturing must start information technology from the construction of plant. In fact a lot of "veterans" who transferred from the mechanical processing, motorcycle manufacturers to a civilian car market built the plants on the basis of lack of information. So, most automotive industry experts believe that in the coming period, the automobile industry information construction will become fertile market.
