At the beginning of the new year, Vientiane is renewed.
Today, the national "two sessions" officially kicked off in Beijing. Feng Xingya, deputy to the National People's Congress and general manager of Guangzhou Automobile Group, actively spoke out for the automobile industry with 5 suggestions and 1 proposal.
This is also Feng Xingya's second suggestion for the industry during the "two sessions" after putting forward suggestions on automobile consumption, domestic chip applications, and new energy vehicle battery swap modes in 2023.
Feng Xingya put forward suggestions on the pain points of the industry such as the power battery standard of new energy vehicles, the integration of new energy vehicles and the power grid, the development of energy-saving vehicles, the development of the automotive specification chip industry chain, and automobile exports. Focusing on the formulation of intelligent driving regulations and standards, Feng Xingya put forward a proposal on amending the relevant provisions of the Road Traffic Safety Law and clarifying the determination of legal liability for intelligent driving.
Among the 5 suggestions and 1 proposal, Kung Fu Automobile learned that Feng Xingya's "Proposal on Promoting the Development of Energy-saving Vehicles" is particularly noteworthy.
Many people in the industry believe that Feng Xingya's suggestion is too timely and down-to-earth, and he has spoken out for the "suppressed" energy-saving cars, expressing the "silent voice" of many users and people in the automobile industry.
(1) The suggestion is "unique", but it is "sober in the industry".
In Feng Xingya's 5 recommendations,:Recommendations on promoting support for the development of energy-efficient vehicles, in the suggestions of the entire automotive industry representative committee,It seems to be "unique", but it is "sober in the industry".
As we all know, due to the rapid development of new energy vehicles, the attention of fuel vehicles has declined in recent years. Feng Xingya believes that the role of energy-saving vehicles in achieving the "double carbon" goal cannot be ignored. From the perspective of market development stage, fuel vehicles are still the mainstream of the automobile market for a considerable period of time. In addition, there is a risk that the automotive industry will be overly reliant on a single energy route for the country's overall energy strategy.
According to Feng Xingya's analysis,Energy-saving vehicles have the advantages of both fuel vehicles and new energy vehicles, and can be used as a supplement to new energy vehicles, and are the best choice for the transition period of automobile industry transformation.
He suggested that medium and long-term special planning and support policies for energy-saving vehicles should be introduced as soon as possible, and supporting measures such as taxation and purchase restrictions should be improved, so as to increase positive guidance and improve social recognition.
Feng Xingya's suggestion makes the industry more soberly aware that for the country's overall energy strategy, there is a risk that the transition of the automobile industry will rely too much on a single energy route.
It can be said that the proposal is not only very pragmatic and down-to-earth, but also very timely, so it has won the praise of many industry insiders and energy-saving car users.
Kung Fu Auto believes that in the process of transformation of the automobile industry, users of energy-saving vehicles are often regarded as "silent users", who have travel needs that cannot be fully met by new energy vehicles, and also need better energy consumption and experience than fuel vehicles.
From the perspective of industry development, energy-saving vehicles, as the optimal solution for the transition period, can not only effectively contribute to the realization of the "two carbons" goal, but also maintain the stable development of the industrial chain.
In August 2023, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) and seven ministries and commissions issued the "Work Plan for Stable Growth of the Automotive Industry (2023-2024)", which clearly mentioned that it should "stabilize the support for hybrid vehicles in the consumption of fuel vehicles".
As early as April last year, at the "Guangdong Automobile Industry High-quality Development Salon" with the theme of "Working Together to Seek New Development and Stimulate the New Vitality of the Auto Market", representatives from the industry, academia and research of Guangdong's automobile industry also called on the policy side to pay more attention to energy-saving vehicles, and even treat the purchase tax and other subsidies for purchase and use to provide consumers with more adequate choices.
(2) Multi-link promotion to accelerate the high-quality development of the automotive industry
Electrification is an important path to achieve the "double carbon" goal, and the development of power batteries is a key part of electrification. However, the current standards for power batteries still have problems such as conflicting and insufficient standardization.
This will lead to an increase in R&D costs, difficulties in industrial chain coordination, waste of resources, and a decline in competitiveness in the international market. Therefore, the standards for charging and swapping are not uniform.
First, the lack of all-solid-state battery standards and other problems, Feng Xingya put forward suggestions such as unifying high-power charging standards and battery swapping standards, and exploring the establishment of an all-solid-state battery standard system.
Electric vehicles can be used as mobile energy storage units, and through integration and interaction with the power grid, large-scale, low-cost, and fast-response distributed energy storage can be realizedFeng Xingya put forward suggestions such as improving the technology and standard system, improving the electricity price and power trading mechanism, and increasing the demonstration application.
While the ecological layout of new energy vehicles is making great strides, there are still "stuck neck" problems in key technology fields.
In view of the shortcomings of domestic automotive chip design technology, the overall backwardness of core manufacturing, the insufficient coverage of chip applications and the imperfect ecology, Feng Xingya put forward suggestions such as overcoming design shortcomings, improving manufacturing capacity, strengthening vehicle-end applications and improving application support, which is also the second consecutive year that Feng Xingya has put forward a high degree of concern to deal with chip localization.
In addition, automobile exports have become an important engine for the growth of automobile production and sales, but due to the accelerated follow-up of overseas brands and the complex business environment, automobile exports are still facing great pressure and urgently need the state to provide assistance.
Therefore, Feng Xingya put forward suggestions such as promoting international cooperation in the industry, coordinating common export issues, optimizing the export supervision mechanism, strengthening the construction of information and transportation capacity, and taking multiple measures to escort the high-quality development of going overseas.
(3) Clarify the determination of legal liability and accelerate the development of smart vehicles
This year, Feng Xingya also submitted a proposal on amending the relevant provisions of the "Road Traffic Safety Law" and clarifying the determination of legal liability for intelligent driving, calling for accelerating the high-quality development of intelligent vehicles from the legislative aspect.
At present, China's intelligent driving technology is developing rapidly and the use scenarios are constantly expanding, but there has been no breakthrough in the legislative process, and the disadvantages caused by the lag of the law are gradually emerging. The state plans to realize the large-scale production of intelligent driving vehicles in 2025, and the pilot work of intelligent driving vehicles on the road will also kick off in November 2023.
To this end, Feng Xingya suggested that the "Road Traffic Safety Law" be amended, adding the definition of robot drivers, the division of responsibilities, etc., to achieve a breakthrough in the legal basis of intelligent driving from scratch and from zero to one, and suggested that the research and establishment of a more complete special law on intelligent driving should be accelerated.
(4) Kung Fu shooting
As a veteran automaker, as the general manager of GAC Group, Feng Xingya has always maintained a professional, thorough and insightful attention to the development of the industry. EspeciallyRecommendations on promoting support for the development of energy-efficient vehiclesIt is deeply said in the hearts of many practitioners in the automotive industry, pragmatic and down-to-earth.
It can be seen that at a time when the transformation of the automobile industry has entered a "critical period", Feng Xingya's proposal not only has a pragmatic and forward-looking temperament, but also shows the "GAC plan" in the transition period of the automobile industry from the side, which can contribute to the high-quality development of China's automobile industry and contribute to the unique "GAC strength".
