China News Service, January 19. The State Council Information Office held a press conference on the development of industry and information technology in 2023 on the 19th. Xin Guobin, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, revealed at the meeting that my country's total vehicle exports in 2023 will be 4.91 million units, a year-on-year increase of 57.9 %, is expected to rank first in the world for the first time.

  Xin Guobin said that the automobile industry is an important pillar industry in my country, and its development in recent years has attracted attention at home and abroad. Last year, many innovative products, especially new energy products, became a hit on the self-media.

With the common attention of the whole society, the development of the automobile industry last year showed many highlights and delivered a very good answer.

  First, automobile production and sales exceeded 30 million units for the first time.

Last year's full-year production and sales reached 30.161 million vehicles and 30.094 million vehicles respectively, a year-on-year increase of 11.6% and 12%, setting a record high.

Production reached 29 million vehicles in 2017, but continued to decline in the following years. Last year, it exceeded 30 million vehicles, maintaining the world's first level for 15 consecutive years.

In 2009, the output exceeded 10 million vehicles, and it took my country three to four years to exceed 20 million vehicles.

After more than ten years of development, the number of vehicles exceeded 30 million. Automobile retail sales reached 4.86 trillion yuan, accounting for 10.3% of the total retail sales of consumer goods. The added value of industries above designated size in the automobile manufacturing industry increased by 13% year-on-year. These have contributed to the stability of our country's economy. made an important contribution to growth.

  Second, new energy vehicles continue to lead the world.

In 2023, the production and sales of new energy vehicles will be 9.587 million and 9.495 million respectively, a year-on-year increase of 35.8% and 37.9% respectively. New car sales will reach 31.6% of the total new car sales. This is what everyone calls the penetration rate.

Semi-solid-state batteries with a single energy density of 360 watt hours per kilogram were also installed in vehicles last year, and the new products were displayed at the Shanghai Auto Show in April last year.

The performance of automotive-grade high-power computing chips has been greatly improved, and hot-selling products integrating various advanced technologies have frequently appeared, making a splash at major auto shows.

In April last year, an auto show was held in Shanghai. In September last year, the World New Energy Vehicle Conference was held in Munich, Germany. It aroused strong responses in Europe and Germany. Not only consumers participated in the exhibition, but many car companies and research institutions were also very concerned. At the exhibition, some professional and technical personnel said that these innovative products from China are indeed faster and better, with a higher level of intelligence and better quality, and they gave very positive comments.

  Third, foreign trade exports have further reached a new level.

Last year, the export of complete automobiles was 4.91 million units, a year-on-year increase of 57.9%, and it is expected to rank first in the world for the first time.

Among them, 1.203 million new energy vehicles were exported, a year-on-year increase of 77.6%, providing global consumers with diversified consumption choices.

Power battery exports were 127.4 GWh, a year-on-year increase of 87.1%.

The "Three New Things" have added bright colors to China's manufacturing industry, giving China confidence and face.

  Xin Guobin pointed out that while fully affirming the development achievements, we must also clearly see that in the external situation, we are still facing unfavorable factors such as insufficient consumer demand and the abuse of trade remedy measures and protectionist behavior in some countries and regions; in terms of the industry itself, this This idea has become a global consensus, but there are still some areas that require further coordination in the development process; most new energy vehicle companies, especially those focusing on domestic sales, have not yet achieved profitability. In terms of product sales themselves, there are also automotive chips Some shortcomings in other fields.

  In addition, in the development of intelligent connected cars, vehicle-road collaboration is not sufficient. In the past, there were some traditional ideas, which were to make the vehicle end omnipotent and to solve all problems through the vehicle end. China proposed to implement the collaborative development of vehicle, road and cloud. ideas.

Among them, there are also some disorderly competition behaviors, and some localities and enterprises are still blindly launching and duplicating new energy vehicle projects. These require great attention and effective measures to be taken to solve them.
