Xinhua News Agency, Shenzhen, July 25 (Reporter Wang Panyinpeng Zhang Jiajin) The booming production and sales of new energy vehicles has become a highlight of my country's economic development in the first half of the year.

The reporter recently visited relevant companies and learned that, thanks to factors such as the continuous development of industrial policies, the continuous improvement of the industrial chain, the continuous breakthrough of technology research and development, and the continuous participation of new forces, my country's new energy vehicle industry is guided by the "dual carbon" goal. Usher in new opportunities for high-quality development.

　　Statistics from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology show that in June, the production and sales of new energy vehicles in my country were 590,000 and 596,000 respectively, an increase of 1.3 times year-on-year.

In the first half of the year, the production and sales of new energy vehicles reached 2.661 million and 2.6 million respectively, an increase of 1.2 times year-on-year, and the market penetration rate of new energy vehicles reached 21.6%.

　　Behind the booming production and sales is the fiery reality of the continuous growth of production capacity of my country's new energy vehicle industry, the continuous introduction of new models, and the continuous record-breaking of exports.

　　In late July, when the reporter walked into the Xiaopeng Automobile Industrial Park, the company was in full swing to promote the construction of new production capacity, showing a scene of great enthusiasm.

Li Pengcheng, vice president of Xiaopeng Motors, said that after three years, the company will achieve 100,000 vehicles off the assembly line in October 2021, and it will only take 8 months to achieve the second "100,000+" in June 2022. It can be said that it has grown by leaps and bounds, and we are striving for a further substantial increase in production capacity before the end of the year.”

　　Not only Xiaopeng, but also new energy car companies and new car manufacturers in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area have recently ushered in their own "100,000+" - the new energy brand GAC Aian, a subsidiary of GAC Group, sold 10.03% in the first half of this year. 10,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 134%, and completed the 200,000 units/year capacity expansion of GAC Aian New Energy Plant; BYD has stopped the production of fuel vehicles since March this year, and the auto business will focus on pure electric vehicles and plug-in The sales volume of hybrid vehicles exceeded 100,000 units for the first time in the month, and by June, the sales volume of the fourth month was "100,000+"...

　　Today, in major domestic ports, my country's new energy vehicles are docked on the shore "ready to go".

According to data from the Passenger Car Association, my country exported 187,000 passenger vehicles in June, a year-on-year increase of 67.7% and a month-on-month increase of 1.8%.

Among them, new energy vehicles accounted for 13.4% of total exports.

　　On July 21, the Japanese branch of BYD Co., Ltd. held a brand press conference in Tokyo, announcing its official entry into the Japanese passenger car market, and unveiled three models.

Since BYD entered the Japanese market with rechargeable batteries as a starting point in 1999, BYD's pure electric buses, new energy energy storage systems and pure electric forklifts have been successfully developed in Japan.

　　In the first half of this year, BYD's production and sales achieved rapid growth, with a cumulative production of 647,914 new energy vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 312.18%; sales of 641,350 new energy vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 314.90%.

BYD became the global sales champion of new energy vehicles in the first half of the year.

　　The doubling of production and sales of new energy vehicles in my country in the first half of the year is not a surprise.

The interviewed companies believe that the development of new energy vehicles has taken advantage of the super-large market advantages and the advantages of the whole industry chain of my country's auto industry.

　　"The good situation in which the production and sales of new energy vehicles are booming is not the result of the efforts of a certain car company, but the superposition of factors such as the automobile industry, policy support, capital market, and technological progress," said Li Pengcheng, vice president of Xiaopeng Motors.

　　On the one hand, policy driving has laid the foundation for the development of new energy vehicles.

Yu Xiquan, director of the Shenzhen Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, said that the current trend of electrification, networking, intelligence, and sharing in the automotive industry is accelerating, and the characteristics of automotive white goods and tools are more obvious, and the new energy vehicle industry has entered a high-speed development. long.

As one of the earliest cities in the country to promote new energy vehicles, by the end of 2021, the number of new energy vehicles in Shenzhen will reach 544,000, the penetration rate of new energy vehicles ranks first in the country, and it ranks first in the world in the main links of the new energy vehicle industry chain camp.

　　On the other hand, technological breakthroughs have improved the product power of my country's new energy vehicles.

Lidar, domestic chips, and on-board basic computing platforms have all been applied in vehicles; in terms of energy batteries, the energy density of mass-produced ternary batteries has reached the world's highest 300 watt-hours/kg, and cobalt-free batteries have reached 240 watt-hours. /kg, the semi-solid battery is close to mass production.

　　At BYD's global headquarters, more than a thousand patent certificates hang on the patent wall, and these technologies are classified into what employees call "technical fish ponds."

According to BYD, as of the end of June, BYD has applied for 37,000 patents and authorized 25,000 patents globally.

　　Li Baohua, a professor at Tsinghua University Shenzhen International Graduate Dean, said that power batteries are one of the three core components of new energy vehicles and the core driving force for the development of new energy vehicles.

China has the most complete and largest power battery industry chain in the world, including leading international level in power battery material system, structural design, manufacturing technology and innovation capabilities.

　　Experts said that after the boom in production and sales, the maturity of the new energy vehicle aftermarket needs to be strengthened urgently.

According to the forecast of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, the annual car sales are expected to exceed 27 million, an increase of about 3% year-on-year, of which the sales of new energy vehicles are expected to reach 5.5 million, a record high.

　　Yao Weibing, chairman of Guangzhou Mingluo Equipment Co., Ltd., said that automobiles are transforming from mechanical products to intelligent and networked products, which will directly promote changes in insurance services, repair parts, recycling and dismantling.

At the same time, talents in software programming and new material research and development will play an increasingly important role in the automotive industry.

　　Industry insiders said that there is still room for improvement in the circulation, trading, and maintenance of new energy vehicles.

　　"Second-hand car circulation is a link between the past and the next. It is an important link to release the potential of automobile consumption and drive the continuous growth of new car sales. The smooth circulation of used cars and new cars has jointly formed a large circulation of automobiles in China." Wang Xiaoyu, co-founder and senior vice president of Guazi Used Cars Say.
