China News Service, Beijing, September 13 (Reporter Liu Yuying) The development of China's new energy vehicles is in a period of accelerated development.
Xiao Yaqing, Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China, stated at a press conference of the State Council Information Office on the 13th that he encourages new energy automobile companies to merge and reorganize to become bigger and stronger, and further increase industrial concentration.
China's new energy vehicle production and sales volume ranks first in the world for six consecutive years.
As of the end of August, the cumulative promotion has exceeded 7 million vehicles.
From January to August this year, the production and sales volume of new energy vehicles reached 1.813 million and 1.799 million respectively, a year-on-year increase of nearly two times.
Sales of the entire automobile industry are somewhat under pressure, but new energy vehicles have bucked the trend.
Xiao Yaqing said that China's new energy vehicles have achieved technological breakthroughs, established a complete industrial system connecting upstream and downstream, and broke through key technologies such as batteries, motors, and electronic control.
Among them, power battery technology is the world's leading.
Compared with 2012, the energy density of the monomer has been increased by 2.2 times, and the cost has been reduced by about 85% at the same time.
Also achieved breakthroughs in products.
Xiao Yaqing said that the cruising range of new energy vehicles has been greatly increased on the original basis. Many vehicles have reached more than 500 kilometers. Although there are still some problems in actual operation, the total mileage has been increased by a relatively large amount.
"The development of China's new energy vehicles is accelerating. The range of new energy vehicles, whether it is convenient to charge, the safety level, and intelligent control are all important considerations for consumers when they choose new energy vehicles, and they are also issues that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is urging to resolve. "Xiao Yaqing said.
In response to the current situation where the number of new energy automobile companies is too large and "small and scattered", Xiao Yaqing said that it is necessary to give full play to the role of the market, encourage corporate mergers and reorganizations to become bigger and stronger, and further increase industrial concentration.
Xiao Yaqing said that it is necessary to speed up the construction of charging and replacement infrastructure, continue to carry out the activities of new energy vehicles to the countryside, and also to do a good job in the urban pilot projects of fully electrified vehicles in the public sector.
It is hoped that local governments will introduce policies such as optimizing automobile purchase restrictions to further provide a good environment for the promotion of new energy automobile consumption.
