He said that China will also become an important area for general product development in the next few years, and these products may also be used elsewhere. “As the government and other parties are interested, China may become the new drive and source of electric vehicle development in the future. Therefore, it is no accident that the international operations headquarters moved to Shanghai.” Luo Ruili, President of GM International Operations, stated that GM and SAIC have established joint ventures. The Pan-Asian Automotive Technology Center has participated in the development of some of the global vehicles. GM also plays an increasingly important role in the development of new energy vehicles.

In this regard, General Manager of China, said Gan Wenwei, GM and SAIC have been very good cooperation, but SAIC has been a partner in commercial vehicles, GM cooperation with the limited space for development, so have a cooperation with FAW.

For industry rumors that General Motors will jointly develop the Indian market with SAIC, General Manager Luo Ruili of GM International Operations stated that GM and SAIC may have opportunities overseas, but there is currently no plan to announce which market to open up. Han Desheng also denied that GM's other brand, GMC, will be introduced to China, saying that Buick, Chevrolet, and Cadillac will all be introduced. China will still adhere to a multi-brand strategy, but GMC has no plans to introduce it. GMC is a general business vehicle and tourer brand.

The media asked if Han Desheng’s visit to China was for Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industry to persuade the relevant government departments to persuade the Chinese government to agree with Tengzhong’s speculation on the acquisition of Hummer. Han Desheng’s decision was specifically denied. "I did not plan to discuss this matter with the government leaders." He said that when he came to China, he understood China's business operations and met with partners and government agencies to understand where GM is currently located in China in order to respond positively.

However, Han Desheng said, "Tengzhong is very confident that this project will soon be approved by the government."

General Motors and Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industry announced on the 9th that the two sides signed a definitive agreement on the sale of the Hummer business under General Motors. The transaction must be approved by the Chinese and US regulatory agencies. “We are always ready to provide maximum cooperation.” He said that GM will support Tengzhong’s business development in the United States, including the approval of contracts, the adjustment of power systems, the improvement of follow-up technologies, etc., to help the motor to the next Technical level.

For the industry’s speculation that the new GM will restart the IPO in the first half of next year, Han Desheng made it clear that the IPO will restart in the second half of the year. As for the timetable for the withdrawal of state-owned capital from general investment, Han Desheng believes that the government will not withdraw in the short term. "If the U.S. government wants to withdraw its state-owned capital, I think the key is to look at the return status of the entire economy. After the government withdraws its shares, we need to find other investors because it involves the interests of many parties. These efforts will not be carried out in the short term. "He said.

Opel trading ends this week

Han Desheng disclosed that Opel’s sale to Magna will end as soon as this weekend. Currently, the 8 agreements that need to be signed are in communication with the EU government and relevant industry associations. It will take some time for approval. He made it clear that since GM accounted for 35% of the shares, it was the largest shareholder. When GM sold, it had already talked with the acquirer. After the acquisition, it will respect the current distributors' layout.

Daily maintenance of excavator hydraulic cylinders
The hydraulic cylinder of an excavator is one of the important hydraulic components responsible for driving and controlling mechanical movements. In order to ensure the normal use of hydraulic cylinders and extend their service life, daily maintenance is necessary.
1. Regularly clean the hydraulic cylinder: During use, the hydraulic cylinder will be attacked by various pollutants, such as dust, sediment, oil stains, etc. These pollutants can affect the working efficiency and lifespan of the hydraulic cylinder. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly clean the hydraulic cylinder.
2. Regular inspection of seals: The seals of hydraulic cylinders are key components to ensure their normal operation. If the seals are damaged or worn, it can lead to oil leakage or unstable operation of the hydraulic cylinder. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly inspect the sealing components of the hydraulic cylinder and replace them in a timely manner if there is any damage or wear.
3. Regular inspection of hydraulic oil: The operation of hydraulic cylinders requires the support of hydraulic oil, so the quality of hydraulic oil has an important impact on the working effect of hydraulic cylinders. Regularly check the quality of hydraulic oil, and replace it promptly if there is contamination or deterioration.
4. Regularly check the hydraulic pipeline: The hydraulic pipeline is the blood vessel of the hydraulic cylinder. If there is oil leakage or damage to the pipeline, it can cause the hydraulic cylinder to not work properly. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly inspect the hydraulic pipelines and promptly repair or replace them if there is any oil leakage or damage.
5. Regularly lubricate the hydraulic cylinder: The piston rod and piston ring of the hydraulic cylinder need to be lubricated to reduce wear and friction. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly apply lubricating oil to ensure the normal operation of the hydraulic cylinder.
In short, the daily maintenance of excavator hydraulic cylinders is very important, which can extend their service life and improve work efficiency. Regular cleaning of hydraulic cylinders, inspection of seals, hydraulic oil, hydraulic pipelines, and lubrication of hydraulic cylinders are required.
