CCTV News: On January 21, the State Information Office held a series of press conferences on "China's high-quality economic development achievements" to introduce the relevant situation of "vigorously promoting new industrialization and promoting high-quality economic development". A reporter asked: In recent years, my country's new energy vehicle industry has developed rapidly, and new energy vehicles have become the "first choice" for more and more consumers to buy cars. How do you view the development situation of my country's new energy vehicle industry? How to promote the high-quality development of the automobile industry in the next step?
Zhang Yunming, deputy minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that in the past ten years, my country's annual production and sales of new energy vehicles have ranged from 10,000 vehicles to 10,000 vehicles, and its products have been exported to more than 70 countries and regions, accounting for more than 60% of the world, becoming a "bright business card" for China's manufacturing. Specifically by 2024, the new achievements made in the development of my country's new energy vehicle industry can be summarized as "one breakthrough and three improvements."
"A breakthrough" refers to the annual production and sales of new energy vehicles reaching tens of millions, reaching 12.888 million and 12.866 million respectively. The sales of new energy vehicles account for 40.9% of the total sales of new automobiles, ranking first in the world for 10 consecutive years.
The "three improvements" mean that the product performance, industrial system, and convenience of use have been further improved. In terms of product performance, the average range of vehicles is close to 500 kilometers. The rapid advancement of intelligent assisted driving and human-computer interaction technology makes driving easier and more interesting. The configurations of active suspension, smart lighting systems and other configurations have been popularized from high-end cars to Volkswagen vehicles, and new energy vehicles have become the "first choice" for more and more consumers to buy cars. In terms of industrial system, a complete and efficient industrial system covering the entire chain of basic materials, parts, complete vehicles, manufacturing equipment, etc. has been built, and 70% of battery materials and 60% of power batteries have been supplied to the world. In terms of convenience of use, taking charging services as an example, my country has built 12.818 million charging piles and 4,443 battery swap stations, forming the world's largest charging network, and fast charging technology with 80% charging in 15 minutes has been mass-produced and applied.
At the same time, Zhang Yunming said that the new energy vehicle industry faces new situations and new challenges such as intensified domestic competition and high international trade barriers. In the next step, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will take targeted measures to promote high-quality development and strive to maintain the good momentum of the development of the new energy vehicle industry.
First, strengthen enterprise technological innovation. Deeply implement the national key R&D plan and accelerate the breakthrough of key core technologies such as new system batteries.
The second is to increase the intensity of market promotion. Implement preferential policies such as car trade-in, new energy vehicle purchase tax reduction and exemption, and actively expand consumption of new energy vehicle. Formulate guiding opinions on promoting the development of battery swap model, strive to promote the pilot program of comprehensive electrification of vehicles in the public sector, and deepen the promotion and application of key areas.
The third is to improve the level of green development. Optimize the "double points" management policy, explore the management of automobile carbon emissions and automobile power battery carbon footprints, and promote international mutual recognition of accounting standards and results.
Fourth, focus on optimizing the industrial ecology. Research and carry out group management of vehicle enterprises to support advantageous enterprises to improve quality, efficiency, and improve and strengthen. Standardize market competition order and continuously optimize the industrial ecology.
