Chinanews.com, July 23. "Initially, new energy vehicles are a new thing. Technological innovation, service model innovation, and market development are still in the process of growth. Therefore, when encountering an epidemic or encountering an economic recession, its decline is also Understandable. At present, this decline is only temporary.” On the 23rd, at a press conference of the State Council Information Office, Xin Guobin, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, gave the same answer when talking about the sharp decline in the production of new energy vehicles in the first half of this year.
Xin Guobin introduced that the production and sales of Chinese automobiles reached their peak in 2017. Since 2018, production and sales have shown a downward trend, ending the 28-year upward trend of the arrow. This is also in line with the general trend of China's overall economic and social development. It is impossible for any industry to point upward forever. With the increase in the number of cars in the entire society, and with the restrictions on the supply of road public resources, cars have a gentle decline, which is also a normal phenomenon.
Xin Guobin said that from January to June, my country's auto production and sales exceeded 10 million, and the decline was still double-digit, but compared with other countries in the world, this is a very good result. The decline of new energy vehicles is even greater than that of the automobile industry as a whole, at least twice as high as traditional vehicles.
Xin Guobin introduced that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has led the establishment of a cross-departmental manufacturing industry chain to coordinate the resumption of work and production. The auto industry is supported as a key area. It has worked with relevant departments to study and introduce various policies and measures to promote auto consumption, such as 3 On the 31st, the State Council executive meeting made a special study and clarified the policy measures to stabilize and expand automobile consumption. The relevant departments jointly issued the "Notice on Several Measures to Stabilize and Expand Automobile Consumption", and also adjusted the national 6 emission standards for light vehicles. Time limit for implementation. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology also actively urged more than 10 provinces and cities including Guangdong, Shanghai, and Beijing to introduce specific policies to promote automobile consumption. For example, some changes have been made to the original purchase restrictions and traffic restrictions, such as Shenzhen, Beijing, Guangzhou, and Shanghai. , Releasing some consumer demand.
Xin Guobin revealed that with the further consolidation of the domestic epidemic prevention and control trend, the auto industry is gradually picking up and recovering. Since April, the production and sales of complete vehicles have begun to achieve positive growth. In June, automobile production and sales reached 2.325 million and 2.3 million, an increase of 22.5% and 11.6%. This is already a very impressive result. The production and sales of new energy vehicles have also resumed growth. In June, the production and sales of new energy vehicles reached 102,000 and 104,000, respectively, up 21.4% and 26.8% from the previous month.
Xin Guobin pointed out that the overall impact of the epidemic on the development of my country's automobile industry is still phased, and the fundamentals of the automobile industry are relatively stable. In the next step, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will strengthen the monitoring and analysis of industry operations and take effective measures to strive to maintain the stable development of the automobile industry.
First, further promote the implementation of policies to promote automobile consumption. Although some provinces have introduced some policies to promote consumption, there is still some distance in implementation, and we need to urge them. It is necessary to encourage relevant places to promote the scrapping and renewal of old cars to further release the consumption potential.
Second, accelerate the development of the new energy automobile industry. To speed up the release of the "New Energy Automobile Industry Development Plan (2021-2035)". At present, the planning research work has been completed, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has now reported to the State Council. Further strengthen the confidence in promoting the development of the new energy industry and further clarify the development goals. At the same time, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology also intends to further issue an action plan for the implementation of electrification of public vehicles, preparing to further promote electrification in terms of buses, taxis, urban logistics vehicles, including sanitation sweepers. At the same time, organize new energy vehicles to the countryside and increase the promotion of new energy vehicles.
Third, further deepen the reform of “delegating control, delegating control to service”, optimizing vehicle approval procedures, lowering barriers to entry, and releasing market vitality. For example, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, together with the finance and taxation departments, recently implemented the new energy vehicle tax incentive catalogue and product announcements "one declaration, collective review, and batch release", which greatly shortened the time limit for approval and reduced the burden on enterprises. Through the promotion and implementation of these policies, and the guidance of pilot demonstrations in various places, the development of the automobile industry will also show a vigorous situation.
