The National Economic and Trade Commission has recently released the "10th Five-Year Plan" for the engineering machinery industry and started its implementation. This plan is of great guiding significance for regions and engineering machinery enterprises to formulate their "10th Five-Year Plan" development strategies and promote structural adjustments.
Transportation: During the "10th Five-Year Plan", five major cross-sea projects will be completed; 60,000 kilometers of highways above the second grade (including 10,000 kilometers of expressways) will be constructed; and the completion of the "five vertical and seven horizontal" national trunk lines will be improved. Starting from the year 2000, the annual investment in road construction will exceed 18 billion yuan, while the investment in transportation construction for the key development of western regions will reach 700 billion yuan over a period of 10 years. Additionally, with the increase in urban population and traffic vehicles, there is an urgent need to solve traffic congestion problems. The development of road construction will inevitably drive the growth in demand for engineering machinery. The sales of road machinery are expected to rise sharply, with an estimated annual demand exceeding 5 billion yuan.
Energy: Natural gas pipeline transportation is also a major project for the development of energy in the west and the eastward adjustment and transportation. The natural gas pipeline from Shebei to Xining and Lanzhou is 935 kilometers long, with an initial investment of 2.5 billion yuan which has already started. The state has officially included the west-to-east natural gas transmission project into the preliminary work stage. This line is 4,200 kilometers long, with a preliminary estimate of 140 billion yuan for the mainline construction. Various types of engineering machinery are needed for this project, including general-purpose machinery such as excavators, loaders, compaction machinery, graders, tunnel boring equipment, road cranes, and rock drills. In addition, large ditch diggers, large long-pipe transport engineering vehicles, pipe-laying machines, horizontal drilling machines, and special engineering machinery suitable for cold, desert, and high-temperature conditions need to be introduced and developed. The investment in construction equipment is preliminarily estimated to account for more than 15% of the total investment, approximately 20 billion yuan.
Coal Industry: During the "10th Five-Year Plan", a batch of small coal mines will continue to be closed, large coal mines will be developed, and mechanization levels will be improved, which will increase the demand for engineering machinery products. Shanxi Province alone plans to build nearly ten new ultra-large power plants, with a total investment of over 70 billion yuan. After completion, these plants will annually convert 50 million tons of raw coal into electricity to be delivered across the country, requiring a large number of medium and large earthmoving engineering machinery.
Water Conservancy and Hydropower Construction: In terms of water conservancy construction, starting from the "10th Five-Year Plan", the focus will be on flood control, drought resistance, and comprehensive utilization, involving the comprehensive management of the seven major river systems nationwide. A large number of dredging equipment and earthwork machinery, such as dredgers and concrete machinery, will be required. Additionally, the South-to-North Water Diversion Project will require a series of construction machinery, including scrapers, bulldozers, tractors, water trucks, clamshell dredgers, tampers, rollers, excavators, truck cranes, and loaders.
In the areas of hydropower construction and architecture, the engineering machinery industry also provides a broad market.
In summary, it is expected that the engineering machinery industry will experience relatively rapid development during the "10th Five-Year Plan". If predicted at a 7% growth rate, by 2005, the total value of demand for engineering machinery is expected to reach around 76 billion yuan.
The overall development strategy for the "10th Five-Year Plan" of the engineering machinery industry is: market-oriented, reform-driven, increasing the intensity of industrial structural adjustments and reorganizations, focusing on nurturing and supporting several large enterprise groups with strong competitiveness; opening up small and medium-sized enterprises and encouraging them to independently participate in market competition; accelerating corporate technological innovation and industrial upgrading, vigorously increasing product varieties, striving to improve product technology levels and quality, prioritizing the development of a batch of large-scale, complete sets, and specialized characteristic products urgently needed for western development and infrastructure construction, optimizing the product structure and enterprise organizational structure of the industry, allowing the development of the engineering machinery industry to take a step forward.
Total Target:
By 2005, the demand for engineering machinery in China will be around 76 billion yuan. During the "10th Five-Year Plan", efforts will be made to achieve an 80% domestic market share for domestically produced engineering machinery, amounting to 61 billion yuan, with export earnings reaching 4 billion RMB, totaling sales of 65 billion yuan. By 2005, the production of hydraulic excavators will reach 12,000 units, soil-moving machinery 31,000 units, engineering cranes 9,000 units, internal combustion forklifts 20,000 units, road rollers 8,000 units, and concrete mixers 48,000 units, among others.
Product Structure Adjustment Target:
Vigorously carry out modular design, developing intelligent electromechanical-hydraulic integrated products at the contemporary level. Develop new products, fill domestic gaps, and replace imports. Actively develop simple multifunctional engineering machinery products to meet the economic development needs of townships and rural areas, such as simple hydraulic excavators, excavation bulldozers, trenching machine attachments, hole-digging machines, timber-grabbing machinery for forestry, multi-functional pile drivers, etc. Eliminate inefficient, high-energy-consuming, and poorly-emitting products from the 1970s, gradually updating outdated products from the 1980s.
Enterprise Structure Adjustment Target:
Through structural adjustments during the "10th Five-Year Plan", the sales of key backbone enterprises should reach 80% of the entire industry; forklifts, wheeled loaders, hydraulic excavators, road rollers, tower cranes, and other products should reach economies of scale. The direction of enterprise reform, restructuring, and adjustment is towards groupification, specialization, multiple economic components, and various organizational forms.
Technical Structure Adjustment Target:
Actively develop high-tech content and competitive characteristic products; increase the proportion of advanced processes and advanced manufacturing equipment within enterprises; accelerate the research and application of new technologies, materials, and processes in the engineering machinery industry. For the 250+ product technologies introduced from abroad, technical tracking should be carried out, timely innovations made, and key products should reach import-substitution levels. For mass-market products, upgrades can be promoted through foreign joint ventures, cooperation, and technology introduction.
Quality and Efficiency Targets:
During the "10th Five-Year Plan", more than 50% of products' reliability indicators and lifespans should reach the levels of foreign products from the 1980s, with average fault-free operation times reaching over 400 hours, and first major overhaul life spans averaging over 8,000 hours. More than 120 medium-sized enterprises with sales over 50 million yuan should all pass ISO9000 quality certification, ensuring over 60% of the industry's products reach top-grade standards. Through import substitution and increased exports, the domestic product sales are expected to increase by about 29 billion yuan, with added profits of 1.4 billion yuan.
