At present, the global new energy vehicle has entered a new stage of rapid development, and the industrial competition is changing from electrification as the core to the integration of electrification, networking and intelligence.
The next generation of new technologies under the characteristics of fusion will become a new variable that affects the competition pattern, and is expected to reshape the current competition pattern of the new energy vehicle industry.
Under the new situation, only by accelerating the deployment of key core technologies for the next generation of new energy vehicles can my country further seize the commanding heights of global competition.
The development of new energy vehicles is a major strategic choice for my country's auto industry to "change lanes and overtake".
With the first-mover advantage, my country has successfully led the "first half" of the electrification transformation of the global auto industry, but in the "second half" of the next-generation new energy vehicles that integrate electrification, networking, and intelligence, my country still faces policy application. There are many problems and challenges, such as insufficient performance, weak advanced technology, and incomplete industrial ecology.
At the same time, major automotive powers are increasing their support, promoting the transformation of automotive electrification and the R&D layout of intelligent technologies, and trying to seize the dominant position in development.
The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to build a modern industrial system.
Consolidate the leading position in advantageous industries, speed up the improvement of shortcomings in areas related to security development, and enhance the ability to supply and guarantee strategic resources.
In order to consolidate and maintain the leading edge of the industry and seize the competitive high ground in the next stage, it is necessary to unswervingly focus on the development strategy of new energy vehicles, focus on the new track representing future industrial competition, comprehensively implement policies with new perspectives and new concepts, and cultivate and strengthen autonomy. Brand competitiveness and accelerate the development of next-generation new energy vehicles.
First, take comprehensive measures to stabilize the market fundamentals.
Maintaining the rapid growth of new energy vehicle production and sales and stabilizing the market fundamentals are the basis and prerequisite for all work.
Facing the trend of rising raw materials and iterative application of intelligent components, the comprehensive cost of new energy vehicles is still difficult to compete with fuel vehicles. In the next few years, the consumption promotion policy needs to focus on strengthening the guidance and support for the consumption of the next generation of new energy vehicles in order to maintain the market The basic disk, stable industry confidence and expectations.
The next generation of new energy vehicles should not only reflect the new requirements of electrification technologies such as energy consumption and power batteries, but also represent new trends in intelligent networking technologies such as intelligent driving, operating systems, Internet of Vehicles, and high-performance sensors.
Second, strengthen the promotion of independent innovation and industrial application of key technologies.
Focus on key technical fields of next-generation new energy vehicles such as new power batteries, safe and controllable automotive chips and operating systems, and centralized electronic and electrical architecture, start a new batch of product technology innovation and industrialization promotion and application projects, and support and encourage competitive enterprises. Focus on technological innovation breakthroughs and industrial applications, and comprehensively consolidate and enhance the competitiveness of my country's next-generation new energy vehicles.
Thirdly, it is necessary to support the application exploration of new technologies, new models and new ecology.
At the national level, it is necessary to actively coordinate the development of technological innovation, business model and ecological innovation, support qualified cities to join upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain, and select suitable ones around new technologies, new models, and new ecology such as autonomous driving, Internet of Vehicles, and separation of vehicles and electricity. Fields, regions, and scenarios, take the lead in carrying out test verification and demonstration applications, and explore reasonable and sustainable commercial application models.
In addition, it is also necessary to continuously improve the industry management and standard and regulatory certification system, and take multiple measures to improve the security assurance capability of key resources.
Building an industry management and technical standard certification system suitable for my country's next-generation new energy vehicle technology innovation and industrial development will help provide a more complete development space for industrial innovation and development.
The electrification development centered on power batteries is the basic platform for the next-generation new energy vehicle industry. Minerals such as lithium, nickel, and cobalt are important raw material resources for the production of power batteries. In order to consolidate the foundation for industrial transformation and development, it is necessary to take multiple measures to improve the key resource security capability.
