Xin Guobin said when introducing the development of the new energy automobile industry in the past period, "Last year, the new energy automobile industry handed over a beautiful answer sheet, and the production and sales both exceeded 3.5 million vehicles, reaching 3.545 and 3.521 million vehicles respectively, an increase of 1.6 times year-on-year, ranking first in the world for 7 consecutive years, and the cumulative promotion volume has exceeded 9 million vehicles." ”
Xin Guobin said that the achievements of the new energy automobile industry in 2021 exceed the predictions of some experts and institutions, and everyone will definitely be concerned about whether this year can maintain this gratifying development situation. Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has carried out a series of research work, deeply felt the development of the new energy automobile industry, in line with the direction of green and low-carbon development, driven the extension and expansion of the industrial chain such as power batteries, motors, electronic controls, etc., spawned the rapid application of new technologies such as intelligent cockpit, automatic driving, and intelligent networking, promoted the transformation of logistics and transportation, and also brought new experiences of green travel to consumers.
"The ecology of industrial development has been gradually improved and perfected, so judging from the situation in all aspects, the development of the mainland new energy automobile industry has entered a new stage of large-scale and rapid development, although our development is still facing some difficulties and challenges, but it is expected that this year will still maintain a high-speed growth trend." In the follow-up, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will give full play to the role of the inter-ministerial joint conference mechanism for energy conservation and new energy vehicle industry development, and continue to do a good job in the development of new energy vehicles.

Accelerate the construction of charging and replacing infrastructure to deal with the problem of "charging difficulties"
It is understood that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will launch a pilot project for the full electrification of vehicles in the public sector, focusing on improving the level of electrification of vehicles such as urban logistics distribution, rental, and sanitation. In response to the problem of the "charging difficulties" of the old residential areas and highways reflected by the people, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will work with relevant parties to accelerate the construction of charging and replacing infrastructure, promote information sharing and unified settlement, and continuously improve the charging convenience of new energy vehicles.
Xin Guobin introduced that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will improve the support policy, pay close attention to studying and clarifying the support policies such as the continuation of the preferential purchase tax for new energy vehicles, optimize the "double integral" management method, do a good job in effectively connecting with the subsidy decline, and stabilize market expectations. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will organize the preparation of a roadmap for the green development of the automobile industry and provide guidance and assistance for enterprises in the industry. Promote the integration and development of electrification and intelligent network technology, further improve the performance of power battery safety and low temperature adaptation, accelerate the application of 5G and vehicle-road collaboration technology, develop more functions such as leisure and entertainment, life services, and automatic driving that meet consumer needs, continuously improve the product quality and driving experience of new energy vehicles, and enhance the sense of acquisition of consumers.
In addition, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will also strengthen resource security, focus on meeting the production needs of power batteries, moderately accelerate the development progress of domestic lithium resources, and crack down on unfair competition such as hoarding and price gouging. At the same time, improve the power battery recycling system, support efficient dismantling, recycling and other technical research, and continuously improve the recycling rate and resource utilization efficiency.
"We have always stressed that safety is the premise of the development of the new energy automobile industry, and there is no development without safety." Therefore, we must adhere to the bottom line thinking and coordinate the improvement of functional security, data security, network security and other guarantee capabilities. Xin Guobin said that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will continue to improve the safety technical standards for new energy vehicles and improve the thermal runaway alarm and safety protection level of power batteries. Build a systematic, scientific and standardized new energy vehicle safety management system, so that consumers can use it more assured.
There is still a certain gap in the supply of automotive chips, and it is expected that the supply situation will continue to improve
"With the joint efforts of all parties, the work of ensuring the supply of automobile chips has achieved phased results, which is reflected in the fact that since the fourth quarter of last year, the monthly production and sales of mainland automobiles have recovered to a good trend." In 2021, the production and sales of mainland automobiles in the whole year reached 26.082 million units and 26.275 million units, respectively, an increase of 3.4% and 3.8% year-on-year, ending the decline in automobile production and sales for three consecutive years. Xin Guobin pointed out, "In January this year, the production and sales of mainland vehicles reached 2.422 million units and 2.531 million units, respectively, an increase of 1.4% and 0.9% year-on-year." It should be said that the automotive industry has a relatively stable start this year. ”
Judging from the monitoring of key automobile companies, although the shortage of automotive chip supply has been gradually alleviated, there is still a certain gap compared with the demand and scheduling plans of vehicle and parts companies. Considering that the world's major chip companies have increased the production and supply of vehicle-grade chips, new production capacity will also be released this year, and the supply capacity of some domestic chip products is also gradually improving, and it is expected that the supply situation of automotive chips will continue to improve.
Xin Guobin pointed out that in the next step, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will strengthen the docking of supply and demand, and on the basis of the past work, build an online supply and demand docking platform for automotive chips, smooth the information channels for chip production and supply, and improve the upstream and downstream cooperation mechanism of the industrial chain. Increase production coordination, guide vehicle and parts enterprises to optimize the layout of the supply chain, rationally schedule production, help each other, improve the efficiency of resource allocation, and minimize the impact of core shortage. Further support the collaborative innovation of vehicle, parts and chip enterprises, and improve the domestic chip production and supply capacity in a safe and orderly manner.
"Automobile is a highly international industry, we must adhere to the direction of global development, promote multinational chip companies to increase the supply of the Chinese market, increase the localization of production layout, enhance the resilience and stability of the industrial chain supply chain." Xin Guobin said.
When talking about the issue of "carbon peaking", Xiao Yaqing, minister of industry and information technology, said that the ministry of industry and information technology will revise and improve the double credit management system for automobile fuel consumption and new energy vehicles. "New energy vehicles should increase the promotion and application of new energy vehicles, vigorously develop green intelligent ships, accelerate the certification of green building materials products, and carry out green building materials to the countryside."
