Ouyang Minggao: New Energy Vehicle is the Key to Realizing Independent Innovation

Commissioner Ouyang Minggao believes that it is imperative to develop energy-saving and environmentally friendly vehicles and realize energy transformation and industrial revitalization.

After 30 years of rapid reform and opening up, China has become the world’s second largest automotive market and the third largest automobile manufacturing base. The number of direct and indirect employment in the automotive industry has reached more than 11% of the total number of urban employment in China. This year, with the The launch of China's automobile industry revitalization plan resulted in a rapid recovery of the automobile market. The sales volume in the single month exceeded the US in the beginning of the year. It is expected that the annual sales will exceed 10 million. At the same time, China’s car ownership has just reached 50 million, and the per capita car ownership The volume is only one-third of the world average, but its annual fuel consumption is already close to 60% of the country's total oil product. According to the current growth rate and fuel consumption level, China’s vehicle ownership will exceed 150 million by 2020. Vehicles, the annual fuel consumption will exceed 250 million tons. The huge contradiction between market demand and severe energy environment constraints is extremely sharp. It is imperative to develop energy-saving and environmentally-friendly vehicles and realize energy transformation and industrial revitalization.

Since the beginning of the new century, new energy electric vehicle technology featuring electric vehicle electrification has grown by leaps and bounds. Oil-hydraulic hybrid technology has entered industrialization, lithium-ion battery technology has achieved a major breakthrough, and automotive fuel cell technology continues to advance. This major technology is very It is suitable for promotion and application under the conditions of China's energy resources and transportation structure. China currently has more than 900 million kWh of electricity per day, which can be used to charge about 50 million electric vehicles. China's lithium resources, rare earth resources and magnesium resources are abundant and can be used as electric vehicles. Key components provide raw material resources protection. China's electric bicycles, electric motorcycles and other light electric vehicles have more than 50 million vehicles, leading the world, laying a good foundation for the new energy electric vehicle industrialization. In short, new energy electric vehicles The technological change has provided a historical opportunity for China's automotive energy transformation and the rejuvenation of the automotive industry.

Since last year, the global financial crisis has caused a downturn in the real economy, and the traditional auto industry in the United States, Japan, and Europe has been hit hard. Governments of various countries have rescued the market and focused on supporting the development of new energy vehicles. In particular, President Obama has pushed new energy as a strategic industry to revitalize the economy. , The new energy electric vehicle technology from the industrial brewing period has been pushed to the critical point of industrial take-off. At present, Western countries have already implemented the strategy of CO2 emission reduction, promote the consensus on the industrialization of new energy vehicles, a global cooperation and competition. It is in full swing. China's auto industry is a relatively international industry. How to achieve the independent innovation strategic goal of China's auto industry in the development process of new energy auto industry is the biggest challenge we currently face. We hereby propose three suggestions:

1. Focusing on lithium-powered batteries and mastering independent core technologies. Under the continuous support of the National Science and Technology Plan, China has achieved fruitful results in the three core technologies of new energy automotive batteries, motors, and electronic control. According to incomplete statistics, it has been formed. About 1800 patents. In terms of the battery of the first of the three core technologies, China has a battery industry cluster consisting of thousands of companies, and low-power lithium battery products account for one-third of the world market. But in the vehicle battery power. In the process of industrial upgrading, we still need to go through a difficult second venture. In the new round of lithium battery technology competition in the world, China still faces major challenges. To this end, we recommend that the new energy vehicle power system be included in the national major science and technology in research and development. Specialization; comprehensively strengthen the technological transformation and structural adjustment of the new energy auto parts industry in the industry, and establish a cross industry industrial technology innovation alliance to jointly promote industrialization.

2. Focusing on small-sized electric cars, the company will promote the large-scale commercialization of its own-brand new energy vehicles. Following the successful completion of the Olympic New Energy Vehicle Science and Technology Demonstration, the state has implemented the “Ten Cities” through public incentives in bus, taxi and other public service fields. Thousands of "new energy vehicle demonstration and promotion work has been started. This has led to market-oriented industrial operations, based on China's annual production of 10 million light electric vehicle industry, the development of small-scale low-speed electric cars R & D and industrialization and based on China's autonomy. The development and industrialization of small-scale conventional speed electric cars with the advantages of the brand's small-size fuel car industry have been vigorously expanded throughout the country. These small-sized electric cars comply with the trends of the world, the national conditions of China, and the development laws of electric cars themselves. Therefore it is recommended that: "National Cars" and "National Vehicles" attach importance and support as the focus of the next industrialization.

Thirdly, we will establish an independent industrial policy system focusing on the standard regulations for electric vehicles. The development of new energy vehicles will bring new changes to the automobile energy supply model, the automobile industry business model, and the auto user use model. We must change the traditional automobile culture. Customs and tracking follow the conventional practices of foreign traditional automobile standards and regulations and industrial organization systems. To this end, we propose to further develop the research on the development strategy of China's automobile industry, form a political choice of national strategies on the basis of technological choices and business choices, and revise accordingly. China's auto industry policy and standards and regulations system.
