This year's development report aims to promote the sustainable development and low-carbon transformation of China's automobile industry. The report * * * contains six chapters and thirteen special topics, and deeply analyzes the development of energy-saving and new energy vehicles in China from the perspectives of industry environment, energy consumption, product development, technology application, power battery technology, key materials and automobile industry prospect.
Vandita Pant, Chief Commercial Officer of BHP Billiton, said: "BHP Billiton is committed to providing responsible, safe and reliable resource protection for the new energy vehicle and battery industry chain in China. BHP Billiton is proud to cooperate with China Automotive Data Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of China Automotive Technology and Research Center, to carry out this important work and make tangible contributions to the industry. Our cooperation is a vivid case in which the upstream and downstream of the whole industry chain work together to bring beneficial effects to the industry and jointly meet environmental challenges. "
Pan further said: "Taking the annual report as the carrier and today's forum as the platform, widely sharing the research results with industry partners, government agencies and the public is a key step to combine China's automobile data research work with industry practice and make positive contributions to the construction of the electric vehicle industry ecosystem. I hope that these efforts will promote everyone's joint efforts to achieve our climate goals. "
Professor Wu Zhixin, deputy general manager of China Automotive Technology and Research Center, said at the forum: "Developing energy-saving and new-energy vehicles is not only a strategic direction to ensure China's energy security, but also a strategic way to achieve the goal of double carbon, and it is also the only way for China's automobile industry to become stronger. In order to better support the energy-saving and low-carbon development and electrification transformation of China's automobile industry, China Automobile Center has compiled and published the Report on the Development of Energy-saving and New Energy Vehicles since 20 14, aiming at providing reference for the competent authorities to formulate automobile industry policies and support enterprises to formulate relevant strategies. In addition, this year, entrusted by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China Automobile Center carried out the "Roadmap Research on the Implementation of the Automobile Industry for Carbon Neutralization", which comprehensively analyzed the road of low-carbon transformation of the automobile industry from the perspectives of policies, standards, markets, technologies and industries. The report on the development of energy-saving and new energy vehicles 202 1 released today also contains some of our research results. "
China's new energy automobile industry is developing rapidly, and the huge new energy automobile market contains huge business opportunities. At present, China is the world's largest market for new energy vehicles, and the world's leading battery manufacturers gather here. According to the current development trend, it is very important to ensure the reliable and sustainable supply of nickel and other raw materials needed for power battery production.
At present, about 85% of BHP Billiton nickel metal in the world is used to manufacture battery materials for electric vehicles. In 20 17 years, this ratio was only about 2 1%, and it was less than 5% in previous years. As a resource enterprise that pays attention to social responsibility and a solid and reliable commodity supplier, BHP Billiton will continue to actively promote the construction of China's electric vehicle industry ecosystem and contribute to China's grand climate goals.
