In China, the automobile industry also bears the dream of prosperity in many cities. Many cities such as Guangzhou, Changchun, Wuhan and Shanghai compete with each other and make great contributions to the local economy.
With the arrival of the new energy era, under the industrial transformation and consumption change, how should these cities recreate new vitality to compete for the "new energy capital"? Guangdong province took the lead in giving its own answer.
The gorgeous turn of the automobile province
According to the Insight Report on the Development of New Energy Automobile Industry in 2022, six districts and five counties in Jiangsu Province and Guangdong Province were selected as the top 30 attractive districts and counties of new energy automobile industry, making them the two provinces with the strongest attraction of new energy vehicles.
As the forefront of reform and opening-up, Guangdong has nurtured many star car companies, including the top three Japanese companies composed of Guangqi Honda, Guangqi Toyota and Dongfeng Nissan, as well as emerging new energy car companies such as BYD, Guangqi Ai 'an and Tucki.
In 2022, the output of new energy vehicles in Guangdong Province was about 654.38 0.3 million, up 654.38 0.40% year-on-year, accounting for 654.38 0.8% of the national output of new energy vehicles. Undoubtedly, Guangdong Province has become a major producer of new energy vehicles in China.
In the emerging fields such as intelligent driving and intelligent networking, Wen Yuan Zhixing, Ma Xiao Zhixing and Antu Zhijia have also been born in Guangdong. In order to promote the vigorous development of emerging fields, Guangdong Province has successively issued the Three-year Action Plan for High-quality Development of Guangzhou Intelligent Networked Vehicles and New Energy Vehicles Industry Chain (2022-2024) and the Implementation Plan for Promoting High-quality Development of Intelligent Networked Vehicles in Shenzhen.
At present, Guangzhou has opened a total of 433 intelligent networked automobile test roads with a two-way distance of 1668 km. * * There are 13 enterprises and 25 ***308 test vehicles to carry out road tests, with the cumulative test mileage exceeding 9.7 million kilometers, ranking first in the country;
At present, Shenzhen has absorbed more than 1 100 intelligent networked automobile-related enterprises, covering full-stack solutions, operating systems, intelligent cockpits, artificial intelligence, autonomous driving, laser radar, three electric systems, and vehicle-level chips.
The era of intelligent electric vehicles is rolling forward, and Guangdong Province, as the vanguard, is standing at the top of the wave and looking forward to the future. However, new energy vehicles are entering the growth cycle of high-speed and high-quality development, and the industrial competition is extremely fierce. At the same time, it faces a series of supply chain problems such as rising battery raw material prices and lack of cores. How can Guangdong Province maintain its competitiveness forever under the turbulent background?
On April 6th, under the guidance of Guangdong Provincial Department of Commerce, Xin Huang, the second inspector of Guangdong Provincial Department of Commerce, Hou Xiaojun, member and vice president of Southern Newspaper Media Group (Nanfang Daily), secretary-general and president of Southern News Network, Wu, member and deputy director of Guangzhou Municipal Bureau of Commerce, Yan Fei, president of Guangdong Automobile Distribution Association, and other experts, scholars and media gave speeches on the high-quality development of Guangdong automobile industry.
Pure electric and hybrid two-wire at the same time.
According to the data of Guangdong Automobile Dealers Association, the share of new energy vehicles in the whole automobile market in Guangdong Province is about 24%, and most of them are fuel vehicles.
Although Guangdong Province has become the region with the largest number of charging piles in China, it is mainly concentrated in developed cities such as Guangzhou and Shenzhen, with uneven distribution. Therefore, the problems of charging and battery life limit the purchase of some potential consumers.
Hybrid electric vehicle takes into account the dual advantages of motor and fuel engine, eliminates the anxiety of charging, and achieves the dual effects of fuel saving, low emission and low cost, so it has gradually become the new favorite of the market.
The data shows that in 2022, the cumulative sales volume of PHEV vehicles in China increased by 155.0% year-on-year, and the penetration rate reached 6.6%. The cumulative sales volume of HEV models increased by 45.7% year-on-year, and the penetration rate reached 3.3%.
At the event, Qi, deputy director of the powertrain technology research and development center of Guangzhou Automobile Research Institute, said: "Our real goal is to reduce carbon emissions, and reducing carbon emissions is our most critical pursuit. In order to achieve carbon reduction, it is necessary to jointly develop multiple routes instead of relying on a single route. "
At present, many independent brands have developed a new generation of hybrid technologies through series-parallel structure, such as BYD DM-i, GAC Julang Hybrid, Geely Raytheon, Great Wall Lemon Hybrid and so on. , forming a differentiated competitive advantage, hybrid products emerge one after another, bringing diversity to the supply and demand of the automobile market.
On the consumer side, hundreds of billions of subsidies over the years have catalyzed the vigorous development of new energy vehicles. Although the new energy subsidy has been officially cancelled this year, it still needs policy promotion to better achieve steady growth and promote consumption.
Zhang Yi, CEO of Ai Media Consulting, suggested giving tax support to different consumer groups and enterprises in terms of car use and market segments. In addition, Qi also suggested providing policy support in both car purchase and use, such as introducing restrictions and subsidizing transportation expenses, with the goal of reducing carbon emissions.
High-quality development is king
China automobile industry is entering a new stage of electrification, intelligence and low-carbon upgrade. Scientific and technological innovation and ecological integration are the driving forces for high-quality development.
Professor Han Yonghui, a professor at Guangdong University of Foreign Studies and a Pearl River scholar, pointed out that (Guangdong Province) should make full use of the cluster effect of Guangdong automobile industry, guide traditional automobile manufacturing enterprises to develop clean fuel and emission reduction technologies, and strengthen the organic integration of traditional and new energy automobile manufacturing industry chains.
At the same time, he also suggested to promote the integration of high-end technologies such as chips and autonomous driving in the two major automobile products, dig deep into the industrial chains of new materials, artificial intelligence and new energy in the province, and strive to promote Guangzhou Automobile Group, BYD and other car companies to establish cooperative relations with leading enterprises such as Huawei and Kevin·Z.
At present, Guangdong Province has built a complete vehicle R&D, production, spare parts supply and service ecosystem, and promoted the multi-path balanced development of the new energy automobile industry. On the other hand, a series of policy guidelines will also empower the new path of consumption upgrading, activate the automobile circulation environment, continue to build a "new energy capital" and a "strong new energy automobile province" with prosperous production and marketing and sustainable development, and continue to lead the new energy era.
