The central point of the current automobile market has been placed on the body of new energy vehicles from traditional fuel vehicles. Why new energy vehicles will become the focus of capital and established car companies scrambling to enter the game, mainly because car companies and capital smell the huge business opportunities behind them. New energy vehicles have become mainstream consumer goods, and countries themselves are advocating energy-saving travel, so new energy vehicles naturally replace fuel vehicles as the focus. Many people only know that the mainland is in a leading position in the development of new energy, but they do not know that in order to ensure that they are leading, the state and enterprises have made great efforts behind it.
In essence, the emergence of electric vehicles is much earlier than that of fuel vehicles. However, due to the shortcomings of the tram itself, coupled with the technological limitations of the time, the tram products were not popularized on a large scale. On the contrary, it is a fuel vehicle with convenient charging and stable engine power, which has become the darling of the market in one fell swoop. However, the problem of energy depletion is in front of the world, if we continue to develop fuel vehicles according to the original idea, ignoring the role of electric vehicles is not scientific.
In essence, the current progress of new energy vehicles is very fast. The new energy vehicle itself has a higher sense of technology and lower cost of use, which helps more families to enjoy a high-quality driving experience at low cost. However, to develop new energy vehicles, we must first ensure that we have the core "three electric technology" batteries and the three core components of electronic control and motor in our hands, if we do not have the ability to produce and develop, even if we design cool new energy vehicles, it is easy to be eliminated by the times.
The most important link in the "three electric technology" is mainly motor technology. In the budget cost of a new energy vehicle, the amount of money spent by the motor accounts for about 10% of the total. In order to ensure that they have certain advantages in the field of motors, the new domestic car-making forces have special efforts to develop permanent magnet motors. As the "heart" of new energy vehicles, the core technology of permanent magnet motors is in the hands of European companies such as Siemens.
While Japan holds the technical advantages of small motors, it is very difficult to develop in China. Before 2010, Japan successively relied on rare earth permanent magnet research and development patents to apply for 40% of the world's related patents. In addition, to produce NdFeB, we must first master how to produce MQ magnetic powder, and the world's largest supplier of magnetic powder is Japan (90%) domestic companies to produce NdFeB, and the annual payment of Japanese production authorization fees is very high.
Fortunately, CRRC Zhuzhou Motor Company realized the problem of technology being "stuck neck", and as early as ten years ago, it laid out and planned to solve motor-related problems. Today, the amount of permanent magnet motor products they produce has reached more than 20,000 units. After the localization of technology, the actual income of Zhuzhou Motor Company has been rising, and now it has become an enterprise with a total income of up to 10 billion yuan. However, just to ensure that the technology is localized and the technology is leading the world, it is still unable to meet the high standards of the current development of the new energy market.
Judging from the current situation, rare earths, as an important raw material for new energy production, will be the key focus of subsequent market competition. Mainland car companies have also realized the problem and began to look for suitable countries around the world to do rare earth production. Mastering technology and holding the downstream supply chain, today's Chinese manufacturing is shifting from a single OEM production to a more comprehensive high-tech industrial chain.
