Original title: Strive to move forward towards the goal of becoming an automobile power.
GAC Aion Intelligent Ecological Factory, the world's only "lighthouse factory" for new energy vehicles, relies on industrial robots to work together with industrial workers, and a new energy vehicle "drives" off the production line every 53 seconds. The development speed of China's new energy vehicles amazes the world, and has become a vivid epitome of China's economic recovery and China's manufacturing vitality.
It is a strategic and pillar industry of the national economy, which plays an important role in boosting demand, stabilizing industry and promoting economic development. Not long ago, the China National Association released data showing that in 2023, China's automobile production and sales will reach 30 million at the same time for the first time, and exports will be close to 5 million, a significant year-on-year increase, and China has become the world's largest automobile producer, consumer and exporter. At the same time, the production and sales of new energy vehicles exceeded 9 million, ranking first in the world for nine consecutive years. The dazzling report card highlights the abundant kinetic energy and strong vitality of our country.
Production and sales are booming, and the supply advantage of the complete industrial system and the demand advantage of the super-large-scale market are strong supports. From the perspective of production, China has built a complete modern automobile industry system, with significant characteristics of agglomeration and development. String points into chains, clusters into clusters, clusters into momentum, and linkage development will not only help expand production capacity, reduce costs and increase efficiency, but also promote collaborative innovation, enhance industrial resilience, and enhance overall competitiveness. For example, Shanghai has gathered 8 vehicle companies, more than 600 parts companies, nearly 60,000 high-level automotive R&D talents, more than 150,000 compound high-end talents, and more than 500,000 automobile employees. Relying on a complete industrial chain and a perfect industrial ecology, nearly 80% of the parts and components of a car can be realized within an hour's drive from Shanghai**.
From the demand side, more than 1.4 billion people and more than 400 million middle-income groups constitute a domestic demand market with huge potential, which can stimulate scale effects, dilute innovation costs, and further attract and generate high-quality supply. Domestic automobiles, especially new energy vehicles, have not only steadily increased the penetration rate of the domestic market, but also increased their sales in the international market. With the export of complete vehicles, the export of core components such as power batteries and motors has also begun to accelerate, and new energy vehicles and related products have become a new growth point for foreign trade exports. Giving full play to the advantages of supply and demand, and making better use of the two resources in the domestic and international markets is an important reason for China's first-class production and marketing to reach new highs, and it is also the confidence and confidence of China to accelerate its transformation from a large automobile country to an automobile power.
Industrial prosperity is the result of giving full play to the decisive role of the market in allocating resources and the innovation and change of the whole industry, and it is also inseparable from the support of national strategy and industrial policy. Taking new energy vehicles as an example, China has strengthened top-level design, launched a series of policies and measures by various departments, and focused on improving supporting facilities, promoting consumption, and facilitating exports, continuously optimizing the industrial layout, and promoting new energy vehicle enterprises to make continuous breakthroughs in technological innovation, product innovation, and market development. It took 27 years from the production of the first new energy vehicle to the 10 million off the assembly line; It took only 17 months from the 10,000,000th production to the 20,000,000th unit. The development experience of the new energy vehicle industry provides a useful reference for the cultivation and growth of more strategic emerging industries.
Automobile manufacturing is an important indicator of a country's manufacturing strength. From building independent brands such as Jiefang and Hongqi, to opening joint ventures and cooperation, Chinese and foreign brands "blooming", and then to independent brand car companies to take the step of building overseas factories, over the past 70 years, China has achieved leapfrog development from scratch and from small to large. With the reshaping of the pattern brought about by the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial revolution, China is ushering in new historical opportunities. Coordinate scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, continue to strengthen the independent research and development of key core technologies and key components, and continuously improve the core competitiveness and brand influence of the world.
