On September 4th, Feng Xingya, General Manager of Guangzhou Automobile Group Co., Ltd. delivered a speech entitled "Green Leading High-quality Development, Safety Escorting New Intelligence Journey" at the "Opening Conference: National Double-carbon Target and Low-carbon Safety Development Prospect of Automobile Industry".
The following is a record of the speech:
Good morning, distinguished leaders, distinguished guests and friends from the media.
During the period of1-July this year, despite the shortage of chips and repeated epidemics, the cumulative sales volume of Guangzhou Automobile Group was1207,000 vehicles, up by 19.7% year-on-year. On behalf of Guangzhou Automobile Group, I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt thanks for your long-term concern.
According to the arrangement of the conference, I will report to you on GAC's thinking and exploration on low-carbon development and data security in the automotive industry. Everyone is welcome to criticize and correct me.
First, industrial synergy is an important way for the automobile industry to achieve the goal of double carbon.
First of all, it is more challenging for China to achieve the goal of double carbon. In 2020, China's carbon dioxide emissions will account for 3 1% of the world total, ranking first. China has basically achieved industrialization. At present, it is only ten years away from the peak of carbon dioxide emission, and only thirty years away from carbon neutrality after the peak of carbon dioxide emission. European and American countries achieved industrialization a hundred years ago, and many countries reached the peak of carbon dioxide emissions as early as the 1990s. With different starting lines, but roughly the same end point, China will face more unprecedented challenges to achieve carbon neutrality.
China's automobile industry accounts for a small proportion of carbon emissions, accounting for about 8% of the country, and the automobile industry has not been included in several major industries that are the focus of carbon emissions in the country. However, as a pillar industry of the national economy, automobiles are closely related to the eight major industries, which is a milestone for China to achieve carbon neutrality as soon as possible. The automobile industry is accelerating the transition to electrification. As an energy storage unit, electric vehicles will be an important member of the energy network, and automobiles will be an effective way to improve energy efficiency.
According to "China Automobile Industry Development Report 2020", it is estimated that China automobile industry will achieve near zero emission at the peak of carbon dioxide emission in 2028 and 2050, ahead of the national overall carbon emission reduction.
The emission of automobile industry is quite special, and the automobile industry belongs to both industrial and transportation fields. The whole life cycle of an automobile mainly includes the raw material end, the production end, the use end and the recycling end, all of which have carbon emissions. According to China's preliminary estimation, their carbon emissions at the production end only account for 1.2%. As a matter of fact, in the process of realizing the double targets of carbon, the automobile industry should not only manage the new increment, but also manage the green stock of vehicles, and a large number of in-use vehicles are the focus of carbon dioxide emissions. Car companies need to deepen cooperation in various fields to achieve green and low-carbon automobile industry.
Therefore, this is an important way for the automobile industry to achieve carbon neutrality. How to deal with the relationship between stock and increment, so that a series of problems such as the proportion of new energy vehicles, the integration of automobiles and energy industry, the sustainable development of related industries, carbon trading, carbon footprint and so on need the joint efforts of Industry-University-Research, upstream and downstream. At the same time, we should follow the market rules, persist in seeking truth from facts, set reasonable stage goals, and explore a sustainable green development path.
At present, GAC has also conducted some preliminary research and exploration on the dual-carbon work, and quickly established a dual-carbon work organization with clear responsibilities at the group level. In addition, according to the current mainstream carbon emission accounting methods, the hybrid vehicles of Guangzhou Automobile Group have reached the advanced level in the industry. Next, we will cooperate with Guangzhou Carbon Emissions Exchange to plan automobile carbon accounts, promote carbon trading and advocate green and low-carbon travel.
Guangzhou Automobile Group has thoroughly implemented the green manufacturing concept of energy saving and environmental protection, and built a number of factories with high efficiency and low emissions. Guangzhou Automobile Toyota won the title of national green factory, which is the first zero-emission wastewater factory in China, and Yichang production factory has become a photovoltaic solar smart factory.
Second, data security is the guarantee for the intelligent and orderly development of escort vehicles.
At present, the development of technology has led to profound changes in the automobile industry, and the automobile has entered the track of science and technology, and the industrial structure has undergone profound changes. According to the forecast of China Automobile Center, in 2025, the annual sales volume of smart cars in China will exceed 22 million, and the penetration rate will reach 75%. At the same time, the development of smart cars will be accompanied by a lot of data, which will play an important role in product research and development, technological innovation, user stickiness and so on. Especially for smart cars, data is food, the evolution of cars needs data feeding, and technological progress will depend on data food for a long time.
Today, the importance of data security is unprecedented. In recent years, with the rapid growth of smart cars, related focus events continue to occupy hot search, and a series of laws and standards on data security protection have been introduced one after another. Data security has risen to the national strategic level, and car companies should attach great importance to data security, adhere to both development and safety, and achieve high-quality and sustainable development of the automobile industry. In GAC's view, data security has been equated with product quality. Protecting data security is to ensure product quality and to protect the source of enterprise innovation. In addition, car companies are the most familiar with smart car data and the most important carrier of data processing, and naturally shoulder the obligation and responsibility of ensuring data security. It is not only their own needs, but also their unshirkable responsibility.
At present, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is actively building a world-class intelligent networked automobile industry cluster. Guangzhou Automobile Group will seize this important opportunity and make more positive contributions in unifying traffic data centers, breaking data islands and enjoying and applying data.
Third, Guangzhou Automobile Group seized new opportunities and made new achievements.
During the Tenth Five-Year Plan period, we will seize two new opportunities: green electrification and intelligent networking. In 2025, the whole group sold 3.5 million vehicles, and new energy sales accounted for more than 25%. Strive for new energy vehicles to account for 50% of independent brands. The proportion of new energy vehicles equipped with vehicle networking will reach 100%, and GAC's own brand will build Gemini. Chuantuo, which went public recently, received a new order for 25,000 vehicles. Intelligent technology and high evaluation ratio have created a new concept of young and fashionable intelligent coupe. On the other hand, science and technology are the foundation of GAC, without which there would be no science and technology. Improve the user experience with innovative technologies that continue to iterate. At present, an investment open day is being held in Guangzhou Automobile 202 1, which shows a number of the latest scientific research achievements of intelligent networking and new energy. In terms of intelligent network connection, a new generation of Che Yun integrated electronic and electrical architecture independently developed can meet the dual requirements of information safety and functional safety while supporting L4-level automatic driving, and the first fully functional intelligent cockpit incubation platform GIEC intelligent cockpit in China is launched. The self-developed L4 autopilot has been put into normal operation test. In terms of new energy, the comprehensive cruising range of the electric vehicle LX equipped with large-capacity batteries can reach 1000 km. There are also self-developed safety technologies and ultra-fast charging technology that can charge 30%-80% in 8 minutes. In addition, GAC actively explores the adoption of power exchange mode in more models and even all models, and promotes and participates in the construction of smart cities and energy ecology.
In the future, GAC will strengthen its dual-carbon strategy and achieve sustainable development. This year, we released the glass plan, which represents that GAC should take a green, sustainable and low-carbon road. During the period of 20021-2035, based on the new energy industry of Guangzhou Automobile Zhilian, with new energy as the core, we will build a green and low-carbon new ecology from purchase to use, improve energy efficiency, and further promote green and low-carbon intelligent manufacturing. At the same time, it will also strengthen the scrap recycling technology and industrial layout of automobiles, batteries and power batteries.
GAC will adhere to the national data security strategy, grasp the new production factors of data, and further improve the data security governance system. In this process, it will follow three principles. First, give consideration to safety and innovation, and promote the innovative development of enterprises while ensuring safety. The second is the adaptation of quality and speed. The third is the balance between process and efficiency, and the construction of enterprise data security framework and supervision system. At present, GAC has made some achievements in data security, such as the 24-hour vehicle networking information security system independently developed by GAC Silicon Valley R&D Center, which can realize all-day security monitoring, alarm and emergency functions of vehicle networking data. At present, it has been realized in mass production of various models.
In the new era, new technologies are accelerating changes, and new formats and platforms are booming. China automobile will have a bright future. Guangzhou Automobile is willing to work hand in hand with all of you here to make unremitting efforts to create a new situation of low-carbon ecological digital economy and continuously create value for the beautiful application life of mankind.
Finally, I wish this forum a complete success. I wish you all success in your work and good health. Thank you!
