The two sessions of the National People's Congress in 2022 will be held on March 4-5, and many important entrepreneurs in the automotive industry have made suggestions and suggestions, and since 2008, the bill to lift the restriction on pickup truck management policy has been proposed many times, and the once unimaginable "two talk pickup trucks" are no longer unusual.
With the steady progress of the lifting of the ban on pickup trucks, calling for more policy relaxation related to pickup trucks has also become something that users look forward to every year, and it is heartening that there have been a number of proposals related to the pickup truck industry in the "two sessions" in 2022.
Li Xiang: It is recommended to speed up the construction of a vehicle modification management system
Car modification is a hot topic at the two sessions in recent years, after Wang Fengying, vice chairman and president of Great Wall Motors, and Li Shufu, chairman of Geely Holding Group, have both made proposals for car modification. At this year's two sessions, Li Xiang, deputy to the National People's Congress, founding president of the Automobile Dealers Chamber of Commerce of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, secretary of the party committee and general manager of Huaxing North Automobile Trading Co., Ltd., mentioned automobile modification.
He believes that modification enterprises and consumers generally reflect that there are too few modification projects allowed, and there is a big gap between industry demand and consumer expectations, and at present, only a few types of modification projects at the policy level are single-point breakthroughs, and have not solved the fundamental problems of the industry. To this end, he put forward four suggestions, one is to accelerate the establishment of a car modification management system, the second is to establish a car modification standard system, the third is to implement the automobile modification industry chain cultivation plan, and the fourth is to carry out automobile modification product certification and quality traceability.
"Car modification" has always been a topic of concern in the domestic pickup truck market, with the strengthening of the trend of pickup truck passengerization and the transformation of consumption concepts, modification has come to the side of ordinary consumers, small to the box treasure, tires, large to a variety of off-road kits, modification has been closely related to most pickup truck owners, and mainstream pickup brands have also launched official modification of personalized products, pickup has become an important area of the rise of modification culture. However, due to the limitations of the current modification policy, the expansion and personalization of pickup trucks have been greatly weakened, if the importance and role of the development of the automobile modification market can be affirmed and standardized, then the domestic pickup truck will diversify and bring considerable incremental consumption and value space.
Zhou Fugeng: Suggestions on optimizing the policy of new energy trucks
Zhou Fugeng, a deputy to the National People's Congress and a senior engineer of Jiangqi Automobile Group, will bring a number of suggestions at the two sessions, among which he put forward optimization suggestions for new energy trucks, including pickup trucks. Zhou Fugeng believes that the current development of the domestic new energy automobile industry is dominated by passenger cars, industrial policies, social resources, etc. are mostly concentrated in the field of new energy passenger vehicles, the development of new energy trucks is insufficient, but in the context of the "double carbon" strategy, the carbon emission pressure of the commercial vehicle industry, especially trucks, is greater than that of passenger cars, and the development of new energy for trucks is imperative and more urgent.
Zhou Fugeng suggested that the preferential policies for new energy trucks should be optimized, the subsidy threshold of 20,000 kilometers in 2 years should be appropriately relaxed, and the construction of charging and replacing infrastructure for new energy trucks should be accelerated. In the proposal to optimize the preferential policies for the use of vehicles, he proposed to reduce the cost of vehicle purchase and the cost of using vehicles, while giving certain operating subsidies, improve the preferential policies for electricity prices, parking costs, highway fees and other aspects of new energy trucks, and encourage local governments to open the right of way, formulate differentiated traffic management measures for new energy trucks, expand the passage area of new energy trucks, and reduce the restriction conditions.
Under the goal of energy conservation and emission reduction, new energy products have become one of the research and development priorities of domestic pickup trucks. In the international market, the energy-saving and emission-reduction technologies and solutions represented by electrification have become the protagonists, and a number of new and old brands such as Tesla, Rivian, and Ford have made efforts; in the domestic market, mainstream brands such as Great Wall and Futian have launched hybrid and hydrogen energy technology research, and new energy products have become the general trend.
However, due to the lack of clear provisions, new energy pickup trucks in the management policy is often the same as ordinary pickup trucks are restricted, and higher car purchase and car costs, lack of supporting facilities, but also hinder the development of new energy pickup trucks, if the future can further optimize the new energy truck policy, relax the right of way restrictions, etc., will significantly enhance the penetration of new energy products in the field of pickup trucks and trucks, and promote the development and growth of the new energy pickup truck market.
In addition, "to promote the rapid development of the caravan and campground industry", "the formulation of tariff policies involving automobiles", "the implementation of the National Seven Standards in two stages" and other suggestions are also beneficial to pickup trucks, we sincerely hope that the next two sessions can bring more pickup-related bills, improve the pickup policy environment, add another fire to the development and growth of domestic pickup trucks, and China's pickup truck network will continue to pay attention.
