R & D and design & consultancy are the main capabilities currently strengthened by Genertec, also a strong support of its transformation toward advanced manufacturing and diversified trading. In recent years, Genertec has been vigorously developing a market-driven system of technology innovation that aligns research and learning with manufacturing. Its technology subsidiaries have also amassed solid R&D capabilities, with an impressive track record in special vehicles and critical components, fuel gas vehicles, new auto materials and techniques, light-rail system, large project contracting and design, and water service consulting.

China Automobile Engineering Research Institute (abbr.as CAERI) of Genertec is a top-class research facility in the country, and one of the major bases and technical support centers for product development, testing, and quality inspection of the domestic auto industry. CAERI hosts China,s quality inspection and testing center for heavy-duty trucks, national engineering and research center for fuel gas vehicles, national auto industry invention testing and accreditation center, national new auto products testing and registration center, China auto products compulsory certification and testing center, national defective autos testing center, national vehicle emissions lab accredited by the State Environmental Protection Administration, heavy-duty autos accreditation and testing center of the Chongqing import and export inspection bureau, Chongqing vehicles emissions and energy-saving lab, and Chongqing vehicles/bio clash safety lab. Its R&D competencies for MPVs and MPV components and testing and inspection competencies for assembled vehicles, motorcycles and components fully comply with the NDRC catalogue of compulsory auto and motorcycle tests.

CAERI also owns proprietary IPRs on 236 auto models (e.g. the Red Rock heavy-duty series), 19 engines, 93 auto power trains, 46 materials and techniques, and 241 standards and technology projects. In the area of fuel gas vehicles, CAERI has successfully applied sophisticated fuel gas jetting technology, specialized gas combustion engine control software and modules in developing the single fuel lean burn combustion and oxygen sensor-controlled CNG/LPG engines and natural inhalation CNG/LPG engines for domestic automakers, engine manufacturers and bus operators, which meet Euro II or Euro III emission standards, as well as hybrid vehicles, MPVs, and off-road fuel gas engines. Some of its products were supplied to South and Southeast Asian countries and regions. By adopting new materials and techniques, CAERI has developed a set of manufacturing processes for auto materials and parts desiderated by domestic makers of heavy-duty vehicles, military, light-weight and special vehicles. At present, CAERI is researching on the application of high-strength steel in making lighter vehicles, the mechanical properties and formability of aluminum alloy, and the weariness and anti-erosion treatment of magnesium alloy parts. In the area of light-rail transit,CAERI has conducted research around the bogie and key installations and technology for the Chongqing monorail, and has successfully developed the guide wheel axle and stabilizing wheel axle,running wheel units,tyre pressure meter and other critical components. It has also made great progress on products. Such as reducer device, foundation brake system,running wheel system, tyre pressure sensor and driving device.

In 2007, Coal Industry Jinan Design and Research Institute Co.,Ltd. (abbr. as CJD) officially became a subsidiary of Genertec. CJD has an outstanding track record in coal, construction and EPC and is the recipient of many national and provincial awards and honors in engineering design, consulting and construction.
