The Key Year of China's New Energy Vehicles: The Progress of Private Car Purchase

In 2012, it was not only the year of the end of the new energy “Ten Thousand Cities” demonstration project, but also an important turning point for the future development of new energy vehicles. Why is it so judged?

First, the country released the “Energy-saving and new-energy automotive industry development plan (2012-2020)” this year; secondly, major auto giants have released key research directions for new energy vehicle planning, such as Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, etc.; , Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other places also introduced the corresponding new energy vehicle subsidy policy; Finally, we learned that Ulsan University of Technology in South Korea has announced that it has developed a new type of lithium battery that is 30 to 120 times faster than conventional lithium batteries. Electricity only takes less than a minute. It can be said that the entire automotive industry is developing a game of technology and market competition around new energy vehicles.

The new energy game chariots have their own supernatural powers. Today, energy-saving and new energy have become the issues that automobile companies must face in their survival and development. Relative to the short-sighted pursuit of "government subsidies" by some domestic companies in the new energy "development" in the past two years, foreign car companies must appear long-term and rational. More market-oriented multinational corporations are catering to policy-oriented research and development of new energy vehicles such as electric vehicles, while still having their own focus on energy conservation and new energy development, such as the public’s “blue drive technology” and Toyota’s “cloud motion”. Plan, Mercedes-Benz's "Blue Performance" and BMW's "Efficient Dynamics".

Taking auto companies as the starting point, Volkswagen and Toyota have all shown up as killers in advance. It is reported that Volkswagen developed a "blue drive technology" is based on the mature technology of Volkswagen automotive powertrain technology (including TSI, TDI and DSG), combined with start and stop, regenerative braking energy recovery can further reduce energy consumption Technology, as well as a series of energy-saving, environmental-friendly, future-oriented automotive technologies, including new drive technologies such as electric drives and hybrids. At the beginning of this year, FAW-Volkswagen's first model Golf Blu-ray drive equipped with Blu-ray drive technology has been listed, and Sagitar and Magotan's Blue Drive models will be launched successively.

In contrast, Toyota, although its hybrid model in China is not to be seen by consumers, has not yet received policy subsidies, but Toyota is still obsessed with this, not only for the replacement of the Prius and global synchronization, also introduced the latest hybrid version of the Camry. In March of this year, Toyota launched the "Cloud Action Plan" in China. In the aspect of environmental protection technology, the plan clarified that "conservation of energy-saving traditional cars and new energy vehicles" should be promoted from the perspectives of "fuel saving" and "lifting oil." The overall strategy.

Guangzhou subsidy policy promotes private car purchase From the perspective of market, the Guangzhou Municipal Development and Reform Commission formally issued the “12th Five-Year Plan for Energy Conservation in Guangzhou” (hereinafter referred to as the “Planning”). It clearly states that in the future, Guangzhou will fully rely on Guangzhou Automobile Group. (Guangqi Honda, GAC Toyota), GAC Passenger Vehicles, Dongfeng Nissan and other competitive companies and research institutes focused on research and development of automotive energy and power, autonomously mastered a number of key technologies and core technologies, and strived to promote large-scale production of electric vehicles. Efforts will be made to include private pilots to purchase new energy vehicles.

In addition, the "Planning" mentioned that we must actively promote the use of clean and energy-saving vehicles in the public transportation field, and carry out large-scale demonstration applications focusing on hybrid and pure electric vehicles in public service areas such as public transport, sanitation, and rental. Guide and encourage consumers to purchase and use energy-efficient, small-displacement cars and new energy vehicles, and increase the proportion of new energy vehicles in private cars.

Shenzhen Mayor Xu Qin also revealed that this year it plans to invest 2,000 to 3,000 new electric vehicles, which will further increase incentives for Shenzhen units and individuals to purchase and use new energy vehicles, and reduce and limit the consumption of traditional fuel vehicles. rely.

We also learned that Shenzhen is still radiating its own urban transportation and new energy vehicle solutions to the country and globally. Including BYD, Wuzhou Dragon and other new energy auto companies in Shenzhen are radiating their new energy vehicles to Changsha, Tianjin, Shenyang and other places in China. At this point, we can see that when the “Ten Cities One Thousand Vehicles” demonstration project was completed, new energy vehicles were being transferred from public transportation to private purchases, and this was considered to be the “maximum effect” of “Ten Cities, Thousand Vehicles”.
