On September 13th, Xiao Yaqing, Minister of the Ministry of Electricity, Industry and Information Technology, said on the 13th that the number of new energy automobile companies is now too large and in a small but scattered state.
It is necessary to give full play to the role of the market and encourage enterprise mergers and reorganizations to become bigger and stronger.

The State Council Information Office held a press conference on the 13th. At the meeting, Xiao Yaqing, Minister of Industry and Information Technology, introduced the situation of "promoting the construction of a strong manufacturing country and a strong network to build a well-off society in an all-round way" and answered reporters' questions.
A reporter asked: Currently, my country's new energy vehicles are developing well. Among them, what are the main tasks of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology?
How does the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology view the future development trend of new energy vehicles?
Are factors such as cruising range and convenient charging become important considerations for the public to choose new energy vehicles?
What measures will the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology take to address these issues?
Xiao Yaqing said that new energy vehicles are indeed a very important direction for the development of the global automotive field, as well as a strategic choice for my country's automotive development.
Everyone knows that the Party Central Committee and the State Council have attached great importance to them, have taken the lead in clarifying the national strategy for the development of new energy vehicles, and have also introduced a series of policy measures.
In 2012, the State Council issued the "Energy-saving and New Energy Automobile Industry Development Plan (2012-2020)". In 2013, the State Council approved the establishment of an inter-ministerial joint conference system for the development of new energy vehicles to implement the strategic decision-making arrangements and specific tasks of the Party Central Committee and the State Council.
There are "three breakthroughs" in the development of new energy vehicles: First, technological breakthroughs, establishing a complete industrial system connecting upstream and downstream, and breaking through key technologies such as batteries, motors, and electronic control.
Among them, power battery technology is the world's leading.
Compared with 2012, the energy density of the monomer has been increased by 2.2 times, and the cost has been reduced by about 85% at the same time.
The second is product breakthroughs. The cruising range has been greatly increased on the original basis. Many vehicles have reached more than 500 kilometers. Although there are still some problems in actual operation, the total mileage has been increased by a relatively large amount.
The third is the market breakthrough, the world's largest production and sales volume for six consecutive years.
As of the end of last month, the cumulative promotion has exceeded 7 million vehicles.
From January to August this year, the completed production and sales of new energy vehicles were 1.813 million and 1.799 million, respectively, an increase of nearly two times year-on-year. The overall vehicle sales were somewhat under pressure, but new energy vehicles bucked the trend.
In general, the development of my country's new energy vehicles is in a period of accelerated development.
Xiao Yaqing pointed out that the next step is to make enterprises bigger and stronger.
At present, the number of new energy automobile companies is too large, and they are in a small and scattered state.
The first is to give full play to the role of the market, encourage enterprise mergers and reorganizations to become bigger and stronger, and further increase industrial concentration.
All parties have a high enthusiasm for the development of new energy vehicles, and they have greatly promoted the development of new energy vehicles, but they must also be aware of the high technical content of new energy vehicles. Therefore, resources should be market-oriented as much as possible to avoid dispersion.
The second is to strengthen the promotion and application, speed up the construction of charging and swapping infrastructure, continue to carry out the activities of new energy vehicles to the countryside, and also do a good job in the urban pilot projects of fully electrified vehicles in the public sector.
Promote the increase in the proportion of new energy vehicles in the fields of urban public transport, rental, logistics and distribution. We also hope that more new energy vehicle parking and charging will be introduced in various places, to provide more regional-specific preferential policies for the application of new energy vehicles, and to optimize vehicles The purchase restriction measures further provide a good environment for promoting the consumption of new energy vehicles.
The third is to promote cross-industry integration and promote the integrated development of electrification and intelligent network technology.
There are now many pilots with new breakthroughs, accelerating the application of 5G and vehicle-road collaboration technologies, and developing more leisure and entertainment services suitable for consumers, as well as automatic or assisted driving functions.
The fourth is to improve product quality, provide higher standards and stricter requirements in terms of quality and safety, low-temperature application, etc., and guide companies to improve product quality, improve service levels, and establish brand image, so that consumers like to buy more and use it with more confidence .
