In recent years, the global auto market is undergoing industrial structure transformation, and China, as the world's largest automobile consumer, is bound to be the market with the most fierce transformation competition. Major auto brands have shown their housekeeping skills and invested a lot of money and energy in the research and development and manufacture of new energy vehicles.
Recently, Geely Xingyue L Thor Hi · The X hybrid version was officially launched, once pushing this car on the "hot search" of the automotive circle; at the same time, there was news that the Chinese name or name of the new hybrid model OF MUKOO of GAC Trumpchi's new SUV hybrid model was "Shadow Cool"; in the small long holiday that just ended, BYD announced that it would stop production of fuel vehicles and focus on pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles... For a time, the self-owned brand hybrid model seems to usher in another spring?
Zhang Yuesai, general manager of GAC Passenger Vehicles, once said: "Hybrid is the best choice at present, and is entering a golden period of development, which will open the first year of Trumpchi hybridization and be a 'head player' in the low-carbon era."
From the current market situation, new energy vehicles are undoubtedly the development direction of the future automobile market, but there are still many obstacles in the popularization of pure electric vehicles with clean energy, making hybrid vehicles the first choice of many consumers. Fu Yuwu, honorary chairman of the Society of Automotive Engineers of China, has publicly stated that in the China automotive technology roadmap that the Society of Automotive Engineers participated in formulating, the first energy-saving technology is hybrid. In order to help the realization of the national "double carbon" goal, major brands are also deeply cultivating in the field of hybrid vehicles, among which GAC Trumpchi has put forward the development strategy of "hybridization + intelligence" dual-core drive, planning to achieve hybridization of all models in 2025, 60% of hybrid sales in 2030, and challenge to achieve carbon neutrality in 2045.
Before Trumpchi EMKOO, gac Trumpchi's "hybridization + intelligence" strategy The second-generation Trumpchi GS8, the first model, has been officially launched, and has obtained a good reverse, with orders exceeding 20,000 units in 20 days. Research shows that in the next 15 years, hybrids will be the most economical, effective and rapid carbon reduction technology and mobility options. The proposal of the "double carbon" goal has pointed out a new direction for the development of the entire Chinese automobile market, which is not only a shortcut for independent brands to "overtake in curves" to catch up with joint ventures and imported brands, but also an unprecedented challenge, for which major brands have issued hybrid strategies.
In addition to the drive of policies and the increase in user demand, the breakthrough of core technology is the source power that triggers the outbreak of the hybrid market, such as BYD's DM-i super hybrid system, Geely's Lei Shen Zhi Qing Hi · The X hybrid platform, Chery's Kunpeng DHT hybrid system, GAC's "Green Engine Technology", Great Wall's "Lemon Hybrid DHT" technology, And Changan's Blue Whale iDD, etc., have all been warmly welcomed by consumers.
Relevant data show that in 2021, the sales volume of plug-in hybrid models, including range extenders, reached 545,000 units, an increase of 171.2% year-on-year, while the year-on-year increase of pure electric vehicles was 168.6%, that is to say, the growth rate of plug-in hybrid models exceeded that of pure electric vehicles. Taking the hottest BYD as an example, BYD's plug-and-mix models in 2021 account for nearly half of BYD's new energy sales, and the plug-and-mix models that were once not optimistic about everyone showed a very surprising growth rate and competitiveness in 2021. From the policy level, the "Energy-saving and New Energy Vehicle Technology Roadmap 2.0" clearly points out: in 2025, hybrid new vehicles should account for more than 50% of traditional energy vehicles, reaching more than 75% in 2030, and traditional energy vehicles should achieve full hybridization in 2035. However, in 2021, the insurance sales of domestic hybrid passenger cars will be 700,000 units, accounting for 3.8% of traditional energy vehicles, and it is still far from the target of 50%.
Therefore, starting from 2022, the policy bias towards hybrid models will be more serious, and the development of hybrid models will usher in unprecedented opportunities, and 2022 will also become the first year of hybrid development.
In addition to the policy drive, the high practicality that hybrid vehicles can bring to users is also a major promoter. Compared with pure electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles completely solve the anxiety of endurance while ensuring the "new energy identity", so that users can enjoy the driving quality of fuel vehicles while enjoying the benefits of new energy policies. Compared with fuel vehicles, hybrid vehicles have higher driving quality, especially to consumers in restricted cities to provide new choices, and in today's soaring oil prices, the more prominent fuel economy of hybrid vehicles is also a major highlight. Therefore, from multiple dimensions, hybrid vehicles are the best choice for the transition from fuel vehicles to pure electric vehicles.
In general, although hybrid vehicles are not the end of the development of the automobile market, they are relatively perfect transitional products, especially for the current policy and market development trends, in the future for a long time, hybrid vehicles will be the mainstream of the development of the automobile market. With the deepening of research and development of more and more automobile companies in the hybrid market, there will be more and more hybrid products in front of us in the future, and 2022 will also be the first year of the hybrid era.
