  "China's auto industry should be'strong core' first." National People's Congress representative, party secretary and chairman of GAC Group Zeng Qinghong called in an interview with reporters to concentrate manpower, financial resources and material resources to solve chip problems and strengthen the construction of key auto parts industry chain , Adhere to independent innovation and open cooperation, and resolve long-term and short-term issues separately.

  At the end of 2020, due to the impact of the epidemic, global automotive chip supply and demand are imbalanced, causing some vehicle companies to reduce production.

According to the forecast of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, the chip shortage will have a great impact on automobile production in the first quarter of 2021, and it is expected to spread to the second quarter.

  It is reported that the "chip shortage" in the global automotive industry has lasted for several months, and many mainstream auto companies such as FAW-Volkswagen, SAIC Volkswagen, GAC Toyota, and GAC Honda have all suffered the same problems.

While overseas, automakers including Toyota, Honda, Volkswagen, Ford, Fiat Chrysler, Subaru and Nissan have also been forced to cut production due to chip shortages.

  Data show that in 2020, the global automotive chip market will be about 300 billion yuan (RMB, the same below), and the scale of China's independent automotive chip industry will be only about 7 billion yuan, accounting for less than 2.5%, and it is mainly scattered in low added value and low reliability. The field of sex.

The development of key components and main chip production in the fields of new energy three-electric system, chassis electronic control, and automatic driving are monopolized by overseas companies.

  Zeng Qinghong said that the automobile is one of China's pillar industries, and the key components are the foundation of the automobile and the foundation of the country.

The key components are not strong, the whole vehicle is not strong, and the car is not strong.

Due to the new crown epidemic and natural disasters, chip and other core electronic component companies are under-starting operations. At the same time, China’s automobile development has exceeded expectations, and the demand for consumer electronics in home appliances and mobile phones has increased. Since the beginning of this year, there has been a global shortage of chip supply. Seriously affect the development of China's automobile industry.

  Zeng Qinghong suggested that we should increase precise support for the automotive electronics industry chain, formulate and implement special incentive measures for automotive semiconductors and key electronic components, and change the domestic chip investment that is not active and the phenomenon of "hot and cold"; speed up domestic cars Regulate the construction of the semiconductor standard system and the implementation of the roadmap for the automotive key electronic components industry; strengthen and improve the regulatory mechanism of the automotive semiconductor industry; optimize the business environment, help enterprises to invest and integrate, and guide platform companies and other related social capital to invest in chips and key automobiles National strategic scientific and technological fields that require long-term investment, such as electronic components.

  At the same time, Zeng Qinghong said that it is recommended that the national level should increase international cooperation and explore ways of joint venture cooperation or in-depth strategic cooperation to further enhance the international competitiveness of the industrial chain.

  In addition to focusing on the development of the chip industry, at the two sessions, Zeng Qinghong will also put forward a number of suggestions, including accelerating the development of intelligent networked new energy vehicles, strengthening the construction of the key automotive parts industry chain, improving the relevant laws and regulations for the recall of defective automotive products, and promoting scrap The development of the automobile recycling industry, the establishment of a self-driving car insurance system and a rescue fund system, etc.
