Global Commercial Vehicle Manufacturing "Crashes in the Middle"
The financial crisis has spread, and commercial vehicle manufacturers are also fighting to escape. Recently, four European commercial vehicle manufacturers Daimler, Volvo, Scania and MANN have successively announced their 2008 financial statements, and both Daimler and Volvo have experienced significant declines.
Throughout 2008, Daimler’s net profit fell by 65% ​​to 1.4 billion euros, sales revenue dropped 4% year-on-year; Volvo’s total revenue for the full year 2008 was 1.449 billion euros, a year-on-year decrease of 29%, and a net loss of 123 million. EUR.
Despite Scania's 2008 net profit growth of 4% to 813 million euros, truck delivery for the year was 66,516 units, a decrease of 3% year-on-year. Western and Central and Eastern Europe deliveries decreased by 4% and 15%, respectively. In addition, the MANN brand operating income in 2008 was 14.945 billion euros, up 6% from the 14.063 billion euros in 2007, of which the German market operating income was 3.704 billion euros, down 9%; the overseas market was 11.241 billion euros, an increase of 13%. The annual profit was 1.25 billion euros, a slight increase from the 1.22 billion euros in 2007.
Some experts once believed that the rapid growth of developing markets—such as Eastern Europe, South America, the Middle East, and North Africa—will compensate for the volatility of mature markets. However, in the financial crisis, good expectations collapsed. According to HSBC's forecast, the global demand for heavy trucks with more than 15 tons will drop by 29% this year, decrease by 24% in the developed country market, and decrease by 32% in the developing market.
After seeing the worst recession in Europe for more than 20 years, Volvo quickly took measures to reduce production. Other truck manufacturers have also taken similar actions. As the market is expected to contract by more than 30 percentage points, the "Mental" company will stop production for 70 days in the first half of this year. However, the truck manufacturing industry has fallen into a vortex of falling profits, and due to the continuous increase of inventory, it will pose a threat to the sales price in the future.
Epoxy resin is a kind of polymer material with high performance. It is a two-component system composed of epoxy group and amine group, which forms polymer compound by mixing and reaction. It has strong adhesive force, corrosion resistance, heat resistance, electrical insulation and mechanical strength, and is widely used in aviation, aerospace, automotive, construction, electronics, ships and other fields.
The preparation process of epoxy resin is to mix epoxy resin monomer and amine Curing Agent in a certain proportion, and react at a certain temperature to form a polymer compound. Epoxy resins with different properties can be obtained by changing the type of monomer, the type and proportion of curing agent.
The advantage of epoxy resin is that its properties can be adjusted according to needs, and materials with high strength, high stiffness, high toughness, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and other characteristics can be prepared. Because of its excellent properties, epoxy resins are widely used in various fields. For example, in the aerospace field, epoxy resins are used in the manufacture of aircraft and rocket structural parts, composites, coatings and adhesives; In the automotive field, epoxy resins are used in the production of automobile body and engine parts; In the field of construction, epoxy resins are used in coatings, floors, waterproof materials and so on.
In addition, carbon fiber reinforced epoxy resin composites are also one of the most widely used epoxy resin products at present. Carbon fiber reinforced epoxy resin composites have the advantages of high strength, high modulus and low density, and are widely used in aviation, aerospace, automobile, sporting goods and other fields.
In general, epoxy resin is a high-performance material with a wide range of application prospects, and its properties can be adjusted according to needs, and it is widely used in various fields.
