2022 is coming, for the domestic pickup truck market, a brand new reel is about to open, but the past is really a memory? Today Xiaobian plans to give you a wave of memories to kill, disk those important nodes of the pickup truck market in 2021, and see what things will resonate with you.
Chips shackle the industry
The chip is like a person's brain, without limbs at least can survive, but without a brain people do not exist. Since 2020, the chip crisis has begun to restrict the development of many industries, such as the electronic products we use every day and intelligent cars.
According to the data released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, as of the end of 2019, China's chip self-sufficiency rate is less than 30%, especially high-end chips, the self-sufficiency rate has reached only 5%, and China needs to spend huge amounts of money every year to purchase chips from abroad. In the pickup truck industry, from the feedback of manufacturers, the shortage of chips has a greater impact on the sales volume of head enterprises, especially the industry giants represented by the Great Wall, because of good recognition and high demand, the impact is more obvious, and many pickup truck brands that sell well in overseas markets are also plagued by lack of cores. According to the forecast of the China Automobile Association, the chip problem will continue to affect the next automobile market, and with the increase in market demand, it will also exacerbate the problem of limited supply.
From 2020 to the beginning of 2022, the problem of chips has not been completely solved in China. It is hoped that China's automotive industry can think hard after the crisis of "stretching" and increase the research and development and design of independent chips.
At the end of the transition period, China VI will be fully implemented
In May 2020, considering the impact of the epidemic, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and other four departments jointly issued a notice to adjust the relevant requirements for the implementation of the National VI emission standards for light vehicles: the sales transition period of China V light vehicles produced and imported before July 1 will be increased by 6 months, the number of particulate matter (PN limit) of China VI will be 6.0 × the deadline for the transition period of 1012 / km, which will be adjusted from July 1, 2020 to January 1, 2021.
In other words, although China VI has been fully implemented since July 1, 2020, this is not the real sense of China VI, the PN value of light vehicles can not meet the requirements, but from January 1, 2021, the real sense of China VI is officially implemented nationwide, including the PN value, the new cars produced by pickup truck companies must strictly meet the National VI standards.
The "General Technical Conditions for Multi-purpose Trucks" was promulgated
In the second half of 2021, the State Administration for Market Regulation (Standardization Administration) issued an announcement approving a number of national standards, including the General Technical Conditions for Multi-purpose Trucks, which means that the first technical standard for pickup trucks in China will take effect soon. After the implementation of the standard, pickup trucks will stand on their own as "multi-purpose trucks" at the technical level.
In recent years, domestic pickup trucks have undergone tremendous changes in production processes, technical standards and other aspects, and the needs of people's lives and economic development have promoted the gradual growth of the niche market of pickup trucks. Since the formulation of the "General Technical Conditions for Multi-purpose Trucks", people inside and outside the industry have been waiting for it. As the first sound, standardized and scientific pickup truck technical standard in China, the General Technical Conditions for Multi-purpose Trucks plays an important role in promoting the further development of the domestic pickup truck market.
Beijing District 9 pickup truck restriction order came into effect
In June 2020, Beijing Changping, Chaoyang, Yanqing, Mentougou, Fangshan, Shijingshan, Haidian, Tongzhou, Daxing and other 9 districts and counties have issued documents announcing the restriction measures for light trucks, and from January 1, 2021, the 9-place restriction order officially came into effect, and pickup trucks have no reason to drive within the sixth ring road of Beijing.
Before the policy took effect, many Beijing card friends have expectations for the cancellation of the suburban restrictions, and today, the restrictions have long been implemented, and the owners of beijing pickup trucks have changed from the initial protest to the improvisation, but the call for the lifting of the ban on pickup trucks has never stopped, and not long ago, there were beijing municipal people's congress deputies calling for the adjustment of the pickup truck restriction policy, and we will continue to pay attention to the trend.
Take the stage in full size
Pickup trucks are a niche in China and a global public. Full-size pickup trucks are popular models in overseas auto markets, but due to the different rules and systems of each country, the degree of development varies greatly. In today's domestic market, pickup trucks are still in the charging stage, and autonomous full-size pickup trucks have rarely been heard before, but in 2021, the pickup truck industry is full of discussions about independent full-size pickups.
At the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show, the Great Wall full-size large pickup X gun was launched in the world, and this first full-size pickup truck based on the new "tank platform" is amazing. In addition to the Great Wall, Futian's full-size pickup truck and ZTE's Weishi 1949 are also quite topical. All indications are that the era of China's full-size pickup trucks is coming.
Looking back on 2021, the domestic pickup truck market has some unforgettable memories, some of which have policies closely related to the pickup truck owners to buy cars and use cars, and Xiaobian will also be divided into two phases for everyone to sort out, please continue to pay attention to China's pickup truck network.
