Hello,

I have problems with the following word: 主机厂

Here is a context:

供货协同SCOLP系统:通过备件采购订单,以及ASN的介质,实现供应商同主机厂,备件仓库的业务协同

and

车型为德国大众研发,相关车辆信息,经销商数据等内容尚无法确认采用德国大众标准还是中方自定义标准,因此采用启明第三方系统可能会涉及到与主机厂的数据同步问题。

I already found the translation "main engine plant", but this seems to have a very broad meaning. Another translation would be "Original Equipment Manufacturer, OEM", but I am not sure if this is the right translation.

Which one is the right one?

Thank you

Explanation:
Hi Egmont,

I've just finished a project in the auto industry, and the client is an Italian automobile manufacturer. I visited their assembly plant in Changsha and learned from inside the corporation that in the automobile industry, the manufacturers are all called "主机厂" in Chinese, particularly when you are talking about their business relationship with dealers (经销商) and consumers (消费者). so these are all "主机厂": Volkswagen, FIAT, Toyota, Honda, Ford......
