It is a enterprise technology development orgnisition set up with Tsinghua University, Beijing Institute of technology, University of technology, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Shandong University, Shandong University of Technology, Shanghai internal combustion engine research institute, Jinan casting and Forging Machinery Research Institute and other domestic famous universities and scientific research institutes. There are state-level enterprise technology center and Shandong Province low-speed Automotive Engineering Technology Research Center and Shandong small pure electric automobile engineering research center in the R&D center. There are academician workstation, post doctoral scientific research workstation in this R&D center as well.
After 14 years of development, the R&D center becomes a research and development entity with relatively complete technology and professionals and forms more perfect technology innovation system. There are currently more than 2500 professional and technical personnel working in 7 product research departments such as trucks research department, engine research department, agricultural equipment research department and 6 process research departments and process development center, testing center, pre-industry product center and 3 support deparments. There are more than 20 well-known experts in the industry such as 18 Taishan scholars, one with special allowance of the State Council and national project leaders. Middle and senior technician are more than 300. So it is a powerful R&D team with industry experts, senior technical personnel and personnel with some experience. It is a perfect platform for independent innovation.
Shifeng R&D center makes more contribution for transition and upgrading of traditional industries and speeding up development of new strategic industries. With promotion and application of new technology and process and lots of independent innovation, technology of leading product such as low-speed trucks, 3-wheel trucks, tractors, engines is constantly promoted. There are more than 100 new products released to the market every year and new product sales are more than 70% of the company's totle sale so it becomes the main rising profits of the company. 3-wheel trucks Juxing and Fengrui series, FengLing trucks gasoline version and LCV Fengchi 2000 series are leading the design in the industry.
