Reference News Network reported on November 25 Japan's "Yomiuri Shimbun" November 24 published in economic editorial director Naokawa Naoki article entitled "China's ambitious ambition of electric vehicles."
The article said that China is accelerating the dominance of the field of electric vehicles (EV). Against the backdrop of accelerating competition in the development of electric vehicles in the world, the Chinese government stipulates the proportion of locally-produced electric vehicles for automobile manufacturers and promotes the assembly of advanced technologies and factories with the goal of making China a world-class electric vehicle powerhouse.
The article said that in September held in Tianjin, China Automotive Industry Development (TEDA) International Forum came the world car makers surprise.
Xin Guobin, vice minister of China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said some countries have successively released a timetable for stopping the sale of fuel-powered vehicles. China has started a study on the schedule for the suspension and sale of traditional energy vehicles.
The head of a Japanese car maker seems to have been hit hard and muttered: "It's still the day." This is because Xin's speech can be said to have proclaimed China's move to ban the sale of fuel-efficient cars and grasp the hegemony of electric vehicles Determination.
The article said that there is a warning before. In July, Britain and France promulgated the policy of banning the sale of gasoline and diesel vehicles by 2040.
However, this time is China. According to the statistics of World Motor Organization and other statistics, China sold 28,030,000 vehicles in 2016, more than the total sales volume of the three countries in Japan, the United States and Germany. Therefore, the impact of the study on the timetable for stopping production and sales in China can be enormous.
Business
The article believes that the development of the automobile industry is the only way to achieve the goal of catching up and overtaking the United States.
Article said that since China implemented the policy of reform and opening up, determined to build a large automotive country, promoting the transfer of technology from Japan, the United States and Europe automakers. In 2009, China's auto sales rank first in the world, and China has become a "big car country."
The article argues that Chinese companies still have a gap with Japan, the United States and Europe in terms of their brand power and engine technology. China is still not a "car power."
The article said, then, the Chinese government has set its sights on the electric car just entering the universal stage. According to the International Energy Agency statistics, China's electric car sales in 2015 ranked first in the world. In 2016, China sold about 260,000 electric vehicles, further widening the gap with the United States and Japan.
The article said that the Chinese side's idea is: Although the fuel-efficient cars are better than those in Europe and the United States, if the development of electric vehicles, China can be transformed from an ordinary "big power" into a "power."
quota
The article said that in order to achieve the ambition of a powerful electric vehicle, the Chinese government stepped up control.
The Chinese government announced at the end of September that starting in 2019, companies must manufacture and sell a certain percentage of new energy vehicles such as pure electric vehicles, fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHVs).
The article said that the policy points system, with an annual output of about 1.2 million Japanese manufacturers need to locally produce 2 to 30,000 electric vehicles.Hybrid vehicles that Japanese companies specialize in producing are not included in the new energy vehicles. If a car manufacturer fails to meet the standards, it must pay to buy points from other car manufacturers that meet the standards.
Now, BYD and other Chinese enterprises swept China's new energy vehicle market.The Chinese government stipulates that the ratio will force various automobile manufacturers to take countermeasures to promote industrial consolidation and help cultivate China's electric vehicle manufacturers. It can be said that this is a very powerful industrial strategy.
The article holds that one of the reasons for the Chinese government to introduce new regulatory measures is to solve the air pollution problem, but its real intention is to cultivate industry.
obstacle
The article said that in order to achieve the ambition of a powerful electric vehicle, it is also necessary to overcome the three major obstacles of lack of infrastructure, shortage of batteries and performance inferior to fuel-efficient vehicles.
The Chinese government announced the long-term development plan for the automobile industry in April and put forward the goal of selling 7 million new energy vehicles in 2025. If you want to ensure that so many new energy vehicles driving, you must substantially increase the charging facilities. If you do not significantly expand the power station and transmission network, you can not meet the charging needs of electric vehicles.
The article said how to ensure that the battery required for electric vehicles is also a topic. If you do not establish a mass production mechanism as soon as possible, sooner or later there will be a battery battle.
The article said that electric vehicles can be charged a short distance to travel. This means that the driver wants to drive while worrying about losing battery. In China, the popularity of large cars is high, and it is unknown whether consumers are willing to buy electric cars.
Japan is backward
The article said that despite this, the world's automakers have started to take action.China Changan Automobile Group Co., Ltd. released the "Shangri-La Project" in October. It plans to completely stop selling traditional fuel vehicles in 2025 and accumulatively invests more than 100 billion yuan in 2025 to launch 33 new-energy vehicles. Volkswagen AG announced in November that it will invest 10 billion euros in research and development of new energy vehicles by 2025 and annual sales of new energy vehicles will reach 1.5 million vehicles.
The article said that, in contrast, Japanese businesses lagged behind. At this stage only Nissan Motor Co. sells electric vehicles in China, and Honda and Toyota Motor Co. are planning to launch electric vehicles by 2018 and 2020 respectively.
In the automotive market to achieve reversal, not only to promote the electrification, but also the need to develop, including networking, sharing services and automatic driving technology, including a comprehensive strategy.
