At the end of the year, the government's economic management departments are arranging the key work in the fields under their management in 2022 in accordance with the spirit of "steady growth" of the Central Economic Conference.
On December 23, Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, published an interview article entitled "Building a Solid Economic "Ballast Stone" to Stimulate the Endogenous Power of High-quality Development -- A Visit to Xiao Yaqing, Minister of Industry and Information Technology", declaring the key work of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in the field of industrial information.
Minister Xiao proposed that stable industrial growth in 2022 should highlight four aspects of work. It is worth noting that the fourth aspect of key work proposed by Minister Xiao is: "Tap the potential of domestic demand, start the pilot project of fully electrifying vehicles in the public sector, and carry out new energy vehicles, green smart home appliances, and green building materials to the countryside." For industries such as intelligent networked vehicles and ice and snow equipment that are conducive to improving the production and life of the masses and represent the direction of scientific and technological development, we will increase the intensity of cultivation and support large-scale development. ”
Since the beginning of the 21st century, once the economic development slows down, the government will introduce policies to promote automobile sales to hedge against the economic downturn.
This time in China's economy is facing the triple pressure of demand contraction, supply shock, expected weakening, and the above pressure in the industrial field is outstanding, Minister Xiao proposed to tap the potential of domestic demand, start the pilot project of electrification of all vehicles in the public sector, and carry out new energy vehicles to the countryside, increase the cultivation of intelligent networked vehicles, and support large-scale development as an important measure to expand domestic demand, which is quite innovative.
First of all, putting the promotion of new energy and intelligent networked vehicles (of which new energy vehicles are more important) as an important measure to open up new demand for domestic demand is placed in the first place to expand domestic demand, which means that new energy and intelligent networked vehicles have gradually become a climate, which belongs to the areas where the government believes that there is demand for market expansion and rapid development potential.
China's automobile market as a whole has entered the era of low-speed growth (about 3%), and the grasp of maintaining the overall stable development of the economy through the automobile industry has gradually shifted from traditional cars to new energy and intelligent driving vehicles. Only through structural adjustment, innovative development, consumption upgrading, and opening up new markets can we tap a large space for new demand for automobiles. This strategic initiative is in line with the actual development of the automobile industry.
Secondly, in the urban public sector, the full electrification of vehicles can be supported by financial funds at all levels and policy-oriented financial policies, which can be promoted faster.
Previously, the Ministry of Transport has proposed: by the end of 2020, all fuel buses in key cities will be replaced by new energy vehicles. The policy of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology involves all urban public areas, which can obviously promote the great expansion of new energy vehicles in the city.
The public sector includes government vehicles, as well as vehicles used by relevant enterprises and institutions engaged in public services (e.g., cityscape cleaning, garbage shipment, mail transportation, energy transportation, public security vehicles, medical service vehicles, etc.). In short, it involves a wide range of aspects and involves many types.
In this field, it is expected to advocate and guide the pilot use of new energy vehicles, which is expected to open up a larger market. In particular, it is conducive to the development of new energy vehicles in related fields, and promotes the application of new energy vehicles to expand into the field of modified vehicles and special vehicles. At the same time, it has also directly and indirectly promoted the development of new energy commercial vehicles.
At present, multinational companies are accelerating their entry into the field of new energy vehicles, and it is necessary to see that once the deep technological accumulation of multinational companies in the field of new energy is released, some of the advantages currently possessed by China's new energy vehicles are likely to disappear. The vast, diverse and increasingly mature domestic market and use environment can make up for possible technological weaknesses to a certain extent.
Vigorously promoting the pilot application of new energy vehicles in the urban public sector is in line with China's "carbon neutrality" and "carbon peak" goals, which is conducive to the realization of relevant goals in urban areas.
Promoting new energy vehicles to the countryside further enriches the travel options of farmers and related enterprises, facilitates and improves the quality of life of farmers, and is conducive to expanding domestic demand; expanding the application space of new energy vehicles is conducive to reducing carbon emissions in rural areas.
Third, due to the expansion of application fields and the diversification of application scenarios, the technology and core components of new energy and intelligent driving vehicles will also be expanded accordingly, which is conducive to the improvement of technical level and the overall level of new energy and intelligent driving vehicles.
Finally, promoting new energy vehicles to fully enter the urban public domain and promoting new energy vehicles to go to the countryside will further stimulate the development of new energy vehicle infrastructure and the improvement of the ecological system, so as to provide a better environment for the overall development of new energy vehicles.
All in all, promoting new energy vehicles to enter the urban public domain and rural areas, cultivating intelligent driving vehicles to accelerate development, will expand the market space for new energy and intelligent driving vehicles, promote the improvement of the technical level of new energy and intelligent driving vehicles, and improve the ecological environment of new energy and intelligent driving vehicles.
Of course, Minister Xiao Yaqing only put forward a strategic concept, how to implement it in the development of 2022, but also wait for the formulation and implementation of specific policies and measures.
For example, to promote the pilot of new energy vehicles entering the public sector in cities, is it to adjust the structure of urban public sector vehicles incrementally, or to replace new energy vehicles by accelerating depreciation to eliminate old fuel vehicles?
For another example, promoting the use of new energy vehicles in the urban public sector and the new energy vehicles going to the countryside are two very different application areas, and different policies need to be formulated to implement them.
For another example, how to use the government financial funds for replacing the public sector vehicles in the pilot cities? How to determine the size, level and number of pilot cities? These are in urgent need of specific policy guidance.
In short, Minister Xiao made a speech and made a declaration on the development focus of the automobile industry in 2022, breaking the problem. The automotive industry still needs to pay close attention to the specific policies and implementation rules formulated and introduced by the government in the future.
2021 is coming to an end. Two days ago, the author wrote an article titled "The First Year of New Energy Vehicles - Looking Back at the Development of China's Auto Industry in 2021". Minister Xiao proposed that stable industrial growth in 2022 should highlight the four aspects of work, which has added another fire to the development of new energy vehicles in 2022.
The author is more convinced of his own judgment: the hot spots and highlights of the automotive industry in 2022 will most likely be reflected in the field of new energy vehicles and intelligent driving vehicles. All colleagues in the automobile industry should also transfer and concentrate their resources and energy to new energy vehicles and intelligent driving vehicles.
As 2021 draws to a close, I would like to extend New Year's greetings to readers who are eager to read the despicable articles, and to all the colleagues of the Editorial Board of Autobot who have worked hard and carefully to publish my articles.
I wish that in 2022, China will be able to overcome all kinds of difficulties and obstacles and successfully achieve the goals set in the 14th Five-Year Plan. I wish China's auto industry another peak.
