New energy vehicle subsidy policy plan will come out

Recently, the automobile sector gained a good momentum from the rumors of subsidies for new energy vehicles. It is reported that the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the four ministries and commissions of the National Development and Reform Commission have reached a consensus that China's new energy vehicle subsidy policy plans to extend for another three years, and will expand the scope of pilot cities. At the same time, prior to the promotion of new energy vehicles based on buses, the next step will be to promote the promotion of new energy vehicles in the field of private purchase.

On May 22nd, GAC Group daily limit, Chang'an Automobile rose 6.75%, Jianghuai Automobile rose 5.13%, BYD rose 3.91%, FAW Car, Jinbei Automobile, Ankai Bus and so on also appeared against the market rose.

According to sources, the National New Energy Vehicle Industry Technology Innovation Project supports 25 automakers, including a number of new energy vehicle concept stocks mentioned above. Among the 25 companies, BYD, FAW Group, Chery Automobile, Great Wall Motors, and SAIC are the companies engaged in the research of “plug-in passenger vehicle project”; companies engaged in “pure-electric passenger car projects” include JAC and Dongfeng. Automobile, Beijing Automobile, Geely Automobile and Changan Automobile.

In an interview with a reporter from the Securities Daily, Li Yuheng, a senior research fellow at China Investment Advisors, said: “The ready availability of subsidy policies is a huge positive news for automakers. Major manufacturers have increasingly invested in hybrid and pure electric vehicles. Technological R&D, equipment upgrades, trial promotion, and other policies have been introduced."

However, Li Yuheng also pointed out that the current results achieved are not very satisfactory. On the one hand, the policies concerning new energy vehicles have been introduced slowly, the funding subsidy has not been sufficient, and the implementation period has been long, which has not brought substantial help to the company. On the one hand, it is very difficult for car companies to take various actions in the near future.

Local governments actively support

Supporting new energy vehicles has always been "advocated" by relevant state agencies and local governments, and taxation incentives, capital subsidies, the construction of charging stations, and the free licensing system have emerged in many provinces and cities across the country. “Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Shenzhen and other places have done a good job in electric vehicles. The introduction of policies and the implementation of policies have been very good, which has effectively promoted the rapid development of the local new energy automobile industry.” Li Yuheng told reporters.

Recently, the “Electric Beijing Partner Program” issued by Beijing also deserves attention. The plan aims to further promote the consumption of electric vehicles to private consumers. In addition, according to Xu Xinchao, Director of the New Energy and New Materials Division of the Beijing Municipal Science and Technology Commission, the current 750 pure electric taxis operating in Beijing are still dominated by suburban counties, and within this year, Beijing will also add 2,000. Pure electric taxi, and will gradually accelerate the application in the urban area.

In Li Yuheng’s view, new energy vehicles are the dominant force and direction of development of the future automotive industry. The huge market capacity has caused the government departments, auto manufacturers, investors, and industry insiders to attach great importance. “Although the current domestic new energy automotive industry is facing multiple problems, the signs of conceptual hype are more obvious, but with the joint efforts of government departments and auto manufacturers, the development of new energy vehicle market will gradually be on the right track.” Li Yuheng said.

Car companies accelerate the strategic layout of new energy

Hearing about the favorable policies will be introduced, car companies stepped up the pace of the layout of new energy vehicles. On May 16, Liu Jinliang, general manager of the original Geely Sales Co., was reappointed as the vice president of the group's new energy vehicle marketing work. Sun Xiaodong took over the post of general manager of its sales company.

At present, Geely has launched the EC7-RV equipped with an intelligent start-stop system, plug-in hybrid models EC7 and EC8, and several new energy vehicles such as pure electric vehicles EK-1 and EK-2. ideal. “We sincerely hope that Liu can help Geely to re-build new energy cars through his years of accumulated resources.” Geely Automobile executives told reporters.

Yang Xueliang, director of public relations at Geely Group, told reporters that Geely plans to use Hangzhou as a starting point to launch a small electric vehicle rental business. As long as you swipe your card, you can pick up your car and return it to your car. You can start to promote electric cars from Hangzhou in the form of monthly rent.

On May 22, at the 16th China Beijing International Science and Technology Industry Expo, BAIC exhibited new energy products such as Zibao pure electric vehicles, “E series” extended range electric vehicles and Beiqi Futian Auman natural gas front end. Market attention.

According to an insider from Beiqi, Haobao EV pure electric cars are located in Beijing Municipal Government's high-end business and commercial electric vehicles. At the Shanghai Auto Show, a reporter learned from Beiqi that the Beijing municipal government has signed orders for electric vehicles with BAIC.

Xu Heyi, chairman of Beijing Automotive Group, told the reporter that according to Beijing's overall plan, Beijing Automotive Group is actively promoting the electric vehicle business. At present, BAIC New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd. has developed a variety of pure electric passenger vehicles and realized mass production, resulting in the production capacity of single-class 40,000 new energy vehicles. This year, BAIC will have at least 5,000 electric vehicles on the road. On the basis of providing more than 1,000 new energy vehicles for public transportation, sanitation, and taxis, BAIC Group will sell more than 3,000 pure electric vehicles to the public this year and vigorously promote the use of new energy vehicles. Industrialization.

In addition, it is reported that BMW will invest 3 billion euros in the "i" electric car sub-brand project. The first production vehicle of the BMW i-brand "i" brand will be launched at the end of 2012 and will enter the Chinese market next year, and will be sold within the BMW 5S outlets. Anger, president of BMW Greater China, said that China will be the first large-scale application of new energy vehicles.

Hybrid vehicles should become mainstream

In the Shanghai auto show that just passed, compared to the pure electric vehicles that mostly remain at the conceptual level, the hybrid vehicles introduced by Japanese cars such as Toyota and Nissan are more “real”. "We must take the hybrid approach. We cannot jump directly from the internal combustion engine to the zero-emissions phase. We need a transition between the two. In fact, this is our initial understanding, but Nissan has now changed its priorities." Nissan Chief executive Shige Junzhi told the media.

With the development of international car companies in hybrid vehicles in the past two years, the progress of independent brands in hybrid development has been slow. Dong Yang, executive vice president and secretary-general of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, said at a media conference in May: “In terms of energy saving, hybrid technology is still an important part of energy-saving new energy vehicles in the next decade. Do not just stare at the direction of policy support. We must pay close attention to transforming hybrid technology into product development."

Dong Yang stressed that do not misunderstand the understanding of hybrid vehicles, that it is only a transitional model, "in fact, hybrid vehicles are the mainstream, and pure electric vehicles is only the future direction of development."
