It is understood that most of the domestic independent brands are still very dependent on the central technology, such as engines, automatic transmissions, etc. are still supplied by other brands. Industry expert Zhong Shi analysis: "China has a small number of independent brand enterprises have their own central technology, have their own product innovation and other characteristics. Horizontal comparison of joint venture brands, independent brands in product design, central technology research and development and other aspects are still stuck in the imitation stage. At the same time, independent brands for future technological innovation investment is very small, which will not be conducive to future development." What is more serious is that due to the low technical content of independent brand products, consumers cannot be retained in after-sales services such as maintenance, which will affect the overall development of independent brands.

It can be seen that in the era of tens of millions of cars, strengthening technological transformation, improving the level of research and development, and speeding up product upgrading and structural adjustment may become the top priority for the development of independent brands and the entire Chinese automobile industry.
