10 6 16, an explosive news was exposed by Japanese media, saying that Toyota would provide core hybrid technology to foreign companies for the first time and decided to provide hybrid electric technology to Guangzhou Automobile Group.
In addition, the report also said that BluE, a subsidiary of Toyota Motor Corporation of Japan, is responsible for the development and supply of hybrid systems. Nexus has reached an agreement with Guangzhou Automobile Group on technology transfer. It is worth noting that according to previous news, Geely Automobile can also enjoy Toyota's hybrid technology in the future.
As a car company with many patented technologies, Toyota's hybrid technology has always been the benchmark of the industry and formed a monopoly position. Starting from 1997, Toyota introduced the first hybrid model-Prius, which won numerous honors in the following 20 years with this technology. This model was introduced to the domestic market in 2005, and since then, it has established Toyota's position in the field of hybrid technology. In addition to Toyota, another leader in the field of hybrid electric technology belongs to Honda!
In the China market, the sales volume and recognition of Toyota hybrid vehicles are increasing day by day. With the layout of FAW Toyota and GAC Toyota's "two-car strategy", hybrid electric vehicles mainly based on Corolla and Lei Ling are increasingly favored by domestic consumers.
The sudden news of enjoying the independent brand * * * independent hybrid technology has long been concerned by the industry. In 20 19, Toyota announced that it would enjoy its own hybrid technology with other car companies for free. It is understood that Toyota's hybrid electric technology currently has 23,740 valid patents, including motors, power control components and charging devices. In addition, Toyota will provide technical support services for a fee.
As we all know, a brand-new and unexplored unknown field needs time, energy and huge funds to move forward. Although there are many different technical paths such as hybrid vehicle, pure electric vehicle, plug-in hybrid vehicle and hydrogen energy. The automobile market in China, which is dominated by pure electric vehicles, has shown a trend of a hundred flowers blooming, and both traditional automobile enterprises and new energy automobile enterprises have good market performance.
It is said that China is the largest single market for joint venture brands, and in the field of new energy, the market scale and prospect of pure electric vehicles in China are immeasurable. From the data of these two years, we can know that.
In 20 19, the production and sales of new energy vehicles in China were12.42 million and12.06 million respectively. Among them, the output of pure electric vehicles was 6.5438+0.02 million, a year-on-year increase of 3.4%; Sales reached 972,000 vehicles, down 65,438+0.2% year-on-year. In 20 18, the production and sales of new energy vehicles in China were 1.27 million and1.256 million, respectively, increasing by 59.9% and 6 1.7% respectively. Among them, the production and sales of pure electric vehicles were 986,000 and 984,000 respectively, up by 47.9% and 50.8% respectively.
In addition, on June 5438+1October 2 1 day, Zhao Yingmin, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, also said at the press conference of the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" on ecological environmental protection that since 20 10, China's new energy vehicles have grown rapidly, accounting for 55% of the global new energy vehicles. At present, China is also the country with the largest number of new energy vehicles in the world.
From this point of view, pure electric and new energy have become the main theme and label of China automobile market. At this time, Toyota, which has formed a monopoly position in the world, also realized that in the new energy technology path, only the pure electric path can compete directly with it. After all, the current market size of Toyota's hybrid electric vehicles is only130,000.
Taking a car as an example, in order not to be overtaken or even besieged by other car companies, after observing the market, Toyota is also determined to let go of more than 20 years of technological precipitation, showing an open and win-win ecological development trend. Compared with pure electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles have inherent advantages such as higher fuel efficiency, lower cost and no need to build additional supporting facilities. If the scope of cooperation can be expanded, a hybrid car equipped with Toyota technology may help Toyota realize more possibilities.
Written at the end: at present, equipped with Toyota THS? II hybrid technology models, the lowest price 10 million yuan or more. It is foreseeable that there will be more and more models equipped with Toyota hybrid technology in the future. While fully exploring the market, the advantages of reducing costs and increasing efficiency will be more prominent. Perhaps, in the next five years, the car equipped with Toyota hybrid technology may only need 65,438+10,000 yuan. Whether Toyota can change the market structure in the future is also worth looking forward to.
