The rapid development of the new energy vehicle industry

  In recent years, my country's new energy vehicle industry has developed rapidly.

According to data released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology recently, the annual sales of new energy vehicles in my country increased from 507,000 in 2016 to 1.367 million in 2020, with an average annual growth rate of 28%.

In 2021, both production and sales will exceed 3.5 million units, reaching 3.545 million units and 3.521 million units respectively, a year-on-year increase of 1.6 times, ranking first in the world for seven consecutive years, and the cumulative promotion volume has exceeded 9 million units.

From January to February this year, the output of new energy vehicles increased by 150.5% year-on-year, and continued to grow rapidly on the basis of the doubled growth in the previous year.

  "The development of my country's new energy vehicle industry has entered a new stage of large-scale and rapid development. Although it still faces some difficulties and challenges, it is expected to maintain a high-speed growth trend this year." Xin Guobin, vice minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that the support policy will be improved in the future, and we will pay close attention to it. Research and clarify supporting policies such as the continuation of tax incentives for new energy vehicles, optimize the "double points" management method, effectively connect with the decline of subsidies, and stabilize market expectations.

At the same time, promote the integration and development of electrification and intelligent networking technologies, further improve the performance of power battery safety and low temperature adaptation, accelerate the application of 5G and vehicle-road collaboration technologies, and develop more leisure and entertainment, life services, autonomous driving, etc. that meet the needs of consumers function, and continuously improve the product quality and driving experience of new energy vehicles.

  Xin Guobin said that it will also promote market expansion, launch urban pilot projects for comprehensive electrification of vehicles in the public sector, and focus on improving the electrification level of vehicles such as urban logistics distribution, rental, and sanitation.

Accelerate the construction of charging and replacing infrastructure, promote information sharing and unified settlement, and continuously improve the convenience of charging new energy vehicles.

In addition, strengthen resource protection, moderately speed up the development of domestic lithium resources, and crack down on unfair competition such as hoarding and price gouging.

Improve the power battery recycling system, support technological breakthroughs such as efficient dismantling and recycling, and continuously improve the recycling rate and resource utilization efficiency.

Enhance enterprise digital capabilities

  At present, the digital transformation of my country's manufacturing industry is showing a trend of accelerated development.

Tian Yulong, chief engineer of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, recently introduced that through the implementation of the Industrial Internet Innovation and Development Project, more than 150 large-scale industrial Internet platforms have been cultivated, and more than 1.6 million industrial enterprises have been served by the platform.

The scope of transformation continues to expand, with more than 2,000 "5G + Industrial Internet" projects under construction.

The degree of transformation has been continuously improved. The numerical control rate of key processes in industrial enterprises above designated size has reached 55.3%, and the penetration rate of digital R&D tools has reached 74.7%.

  Tian Yulong said that the next step will be to highlight the key points and enhance the digital capabilities of enterprises.

Summarize and promote a batch of good technologies and good practices, and issue relevant guidelines and guidance by industry and field.

Cultivate a group of high-quality system solution suppliers and provide enterprises with practical and useful typical cases and methods.
