Delphi’s President of Asia Pacific and China, Delphi Connector Systems Global President Ai Bobin, Delphi Connector Systems Products Division, and Yang Xiaoming, Delphi’s General Manager of the Asia-Pacific region of the Electrical Products Business Unit, Yang Xiaoming and other senior executives exchanged views with reporters in Shanghai.
"Because consumers have more and more requirements on the internal electronic functions of automobiles, and the electronic functions that can be provided inside automobiles are also becoming more and more abundant, the connector for automobiles has become the fastest growing segment in auto parts." This is Abraham, the president of Delphi's Asia Pacific and China, and the president of Delphi Connector Systems, who recently spoke in an interview with this reporter.
Debuted at the 25th World Electric Vehicle Conference in Shenzhen, China, and took the overall electric car solution to the electronic exhibition in Munich, Germany, and exhibited high-voltage connector systems; from the well-known American electric car manufacturer CODA Providing power electronic components and high-voltage electronic/electrical framework components to the planning of E-mobility; from declaring the development of automatic wireless charging products to the introduction of safe and convenient electric vehicle charging technologies. A series of recent moves by Delphi have clearly revealed some of the product mix and technology development directions after the company's restructuring.
A few days ago, the reporter had the opportunity to step into Delphi's Delphi Shanghai Connector System Factory and Delphi Packard Asia Pacific Engineering and Technology Center at the Shanghai International Automobile City Component Export Base. He had a close contact with Delphi's connectivity in one of its three major development directions. Product and technology achievements.
"The electronic/electrical architecture system is the nervous system of the car. It is an important part of the automotive technology. Its role is mainly to transmit various signals to the automotive subsystem. Therefore, the rationality of the electronic/electrical architecture is aligned. The rationality and architecture of the Ministry of Automobiles play a very important role.” Abbin told reporters the importance of the electronic/electrical architecture to a car.
From the current development layout of Delphi in China, it can be seen that almost 40% of its 17 production sites and 20,000 employees are concentrated in Shanghai, including the Delphi Pike Electrical Engineering Technology Center. factory.
As the world's largest production base of Delphi's connector system, the Shanghai Connector System Factory covers an area of 58,000 square meters and has 166 injection molding machines, 11 high-speed presses, 46 connector assembly lines and nearly 1,600 employees. The main production
Connectors, terminals, USB connectors, molds and so on.
Dr. Yang Xiaoming, Product Division of Delphi Connector Systems Products and General Manager of Delphi Central Electric Products Business Unit Asia Pacific, introduced that the mold factory of Shanghai Connector System has become the largest mold research and development and manufacturing base of Delphi connector system in the world. The mold products not only completed the internal supply requirements, but nearly 90% of the products were exported to North America, Europe and other places.
In 2010, about one-third of the traditional connector system products were designed and developed in China, and 85% of new energy automotive connector system products were developed in Shanghai. This set of numbers is already very much indicative of Shanghai technology. The importance of the center and factory in Delphi's future business. During the visit, the reporter also noticed that the Shanghai Engineering and Technology Center is not only developing new energy vehicles such as electric vehicles, but also constantly developing electronic/electrical systems such as harnesses and connectors that are small and lightweight. Has been applied worldwide.
