Wang Cunfu data shows that from January to October this year, the production and sales of new energy vehicles in China exceeded 7 million, with a market share of more than 30, and the new energy vehicle industry has entered a new stage of comprehensive market-oriented expansion.
The reporter learned from the 2023 World New Energy Vehicle Conference held in Haikou from the 7th to the 9th that China's new energy vehicle-related fields are promoting the high-quality development of the industry by improving R&D and innovation capabilities and promoting industrial collaboration and integration.
Enhance R&D and innovation capabilities.
Power battery systems, charging solutions, hydrogen fuel storage...The reporter saw at the conference that from vehicle enterprises to parts enterprises, from information and communication enterprises to energy enterprises, the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain and collaborative industries are surging with innovation vitality.
China has persistently carried out key core technology research on new energy vehicles, laid out the industrial chain around the innovation chain, relied on the industrial chain to strengthen the innovation chain, and continuously improved the level of technology research and development and industrialization, which provided an important impetus for the new energy vehicles to move towards comprehensive marketization. Chen Jiachang, vice minister of science and technology, said.
CATL's Kirin battery technology, Horizon's innovative intelligent computing architecture, BMW China's high-performance hybrid drive system...The conference released the results of the 2023 "Global New Energy Vehicle Frontier and Innovative Technology" selection, and 10 innovative technologies from industry chain enterprises were selected. "These innovative technologies have been mass-produced, effectively improving the technical level of new energy vehicles. Li Jun, honorary chairman of the Society of Automotive Engineers of China and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said.
Wan Gang, chairman of the China Association for Science and Technology and chairman of the World New Energy Vehicle Conference, said that under the development trend of electrification, intelligence and low-carbonization, it is necessary to promote the development of pure electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles and fuel cell vehicles as a whole, continue to strengthen the collaborative breakthroughs of common key technologies such as power battery systems, new chassis architectures and automatic driving systems, and accelerate the application of typical scenarios and new infrastructure construction for the integrated development of "vehicle energy, road and cloud".
Promote industrial synergy and integration.
At present, new energy vehicles integrate a variety of transformative technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data, and the industrial chain and value chain continue to expand to transportation, energy, information and communication and other fields. Accelerating the construction of a new ecology of the automobile industry is not only the internal demand of industrial technological change, but also the source of power for the future development of the industry.
The reporter learned from the conference that Hainan Province, where the conference was held, as the first province in the country to clearly propose a "ban on the sale of fuel vehicles" in 2030, is continuing to expand the new energy vehicle industry chain, expand the global application market of new energy vehicles, and create a plan for the development of intelligent networked vehicles in Hainan.
We are promoting the access and road access of intelligent networked vehicles, building the country's first consumer-oriented intelligent transportation system and a demonstration province for the application of the whole open Internet of Vehicles, and striving to build the tourist road around the island into a demonstration road with full openness and rich scenarios. The main person in charge of the Hainan Provincial Party Committee said at the conference.
As the number of new energy vehicles continues to increase, a large number of charging needs also bring challenges to the smooth operation of the power grid. Li Ming, deputy chief engineer of the State Grid, said that by deepening industry cooperation, promoting the introduction or improvement of charging peak and valley time-of-use electricity prices, strengthening the iterative upgrading of key technologies and equipment, accelerating the demonstration and verification of typical scenarios and large-scale applications, etc., we will comprehensively promote orderly charging, accelerate the integration and interaction of vehicle networks, and build a charging and swapping development model that adapts to the new power system.
Building a cross-border integration ecology and promoting mutual empowerment and collaborative innovation of various business entities has become the consensus of the participants. The "Consensus of the 2023 World New Energy Vehicle Conference" released by the conference proposes that all parties will strengthen cross-border collaboration in the transformation of innovation achievements and cutting-edge demonstration applications. At the same time, we will accelerate the iterative research of technologies around the construction of typical scenarios such as vehicle-energy interaction, vehicle-road integration, and vehicle-cloud collaboration, and accelerate the integrated development of automobiles, energy, transportation, and information and communication.
Deep insight into user needs.
The 200,000-yuan medium and large pure electric SUV is equipped with intelligent driving functions such as digital vision blind compensation and one-key AI driving, and the 300,000-yuan pure electric sports car has both electric scissor doors and soft-top convertiblesAt the SAIC booth of this conference, the new energy vehicles of the independent brands of Roewe, Zhiji, MG and other enterprises were unveiled, attracting many visitors to come forward to inquire.
Creating vehicle products that benefit users will help consumers better accept new energy vehicles, and also contribute to the iterative upgrading of the new energy vehicle technology industry and the sustainable development of new energy vehicle companies. Zu Rujie, vice president and chief engineer of SAIC, said that Pratt & Whitney electric intelligent vehicles will drive the full marketization of new energy vehicles.
The reporter saw at the conference that the upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain actively identified the changes on the demand side and took the close focus on user needs as the top priority in expanding the market.
Deng Chenghao, vice president of Changan Automobile and CEO of Shenlan Automobile, said that in recent years, China's automobile market has developed rapidly towards electrification and intelligence, and the needs of users have also been upgraded from simple travel to digital partners in all scenarios. It is necessary to adhere to the user's choice as the primary principle of enterprise innovation products, and respect the diverse needs of users in energy supplement, safety and intelligence.
What does the market need? There is a desire to support as many intelligent functions as possible with a higher price/performance ratio on the largest number of production models. Yang Yuxin, chief marketing officer of Black Sesame Intelligent Technology, believes that it is necessary to achieve multi-functional support through product architecture innovation to help customers achieve more intelligent function integration in one car.
Xin Guobin, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that China's new energy vehicles have entered a critical stage of comprehensive market-oriented development, but there are still problems in industrial development, such as insufficient resource guarantee capacity, unbalanced market development, and industrial layout to be optimized. In the future, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will actively promote the innovation and development of new energy and intelligent networked vehicles, further optimize industry management policies, create a first-class business environment, and continue to promote the high-quality development of the new energy vehicle industry.
