Ministry of Industry and Information Technology: Promote the development of new energy and intelligent networked vehicles

On January 12, the First Department of Equipment Industry of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued a summary: In 2021, China's automobile production and sales were 26.082 million and 26.275 million vehicles, an increase of 3.4% and 3.8% respectively year-on-year, ending the downward trend for three consecutive years, and contributing to the sustained recovery and development of China's industrial economy and stable macroeconomic growth. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said that the next step will be to maintain the smooth and healthy operation of the automobile industry, increase efforts to promote the development of new energy vehicles and intelligent networked vehicles, and strive to improve the stability and competitiveness of the industrial chain supply chain.

Looking back on 2021, in the face of complex and severe situations such as the continuous evolution of the global epidemic and the tight supply of automotive chips, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology set up a working group for the promotion and application of automotive semiconductors and a special class to ensure the stable production of automobile enterprises, effectively alleviating the tight supply of chips by building a supply and demand docking platform and implementing policy measures such as "tolerant of deficiencies and acceptance, first do and then make up" for product access; at the same time, a central-local coordination mechanism was established to dynamically track the situation of key material guarantees, and to promote the solution of the problem of key parts and components cut off caused by the scattered epidemic.

In the field of new energy, according to the "New Energy Vehicle Industry Development Plan (2021-2035)", the country continues to carry out new energy vehicles to the countryside, start the pilot application of the power exchange mode, optimize and adjust the "double integral" policy, start the demonstration application of fuel cell vehicles, and promote the improvement of the level of electrification in the public sector. In 2021, China's new energy vehicle sales reached 3.521 million units, an increase of 1.6 times year-on-year, ranking first in the world for seven consecutive years; the proportion of new passenger cars equipped with combined driving assistance systems reached 20%.

In terms of intelligent networking, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has compiled and issued the "Management Specification for Road Testing and Demonstration Application of Intelligent Connected Vehicles", carried out the pilot project of coordinated development of smart city infrastructure and intelligent connected vehicles, accelerated the formulation of standards for vehicle information security, software upgrades, data recording systems, etc., and accelerated the industrialization process; issued the "Opinions on Strengthening the Management of Access to Intelligent Connected Vehicle Manufacturers and Products", put forward management requirements such as software upgrades, functional safety and expected functional safety, and strengthened the supervision of automobile data security and network security , take the "first step" of intelligent networked vehicle access management.

In the field of international development, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology organized the Automobile Association to carry out the "See China Automobile" brand tour national tour, held the World Intelligent Connected Vehicle Conference, the exhibition of new energy automobile industry development achievements, built an international and high-level exchange and cooperation platform, and deeply participated in the United Nations Vehicle Regulation Coordination Forum, the World Organization for Standardization and other work, leading the formulation of global technical regulations such as electric vehicle safety and power battery durability. According to the data, in 2021, the cumulative sales of Chinese brand passenger cars were 9.543 million units, an increase of 23.1% year-on-year, and the market share reached 44.4%, an increase of 6%; the export of complete vehicles was 2.015 million units, an increase of 1 times, a record high.
