"We must also see that the recent challenges of industrial development are also facing the impact of the epidemic, the price increase of raw materials, the shortage of chips, etc., and the stable operation is still facing great pressure, which requires the joint efforts of all walks of life to promote the solution." Luo Junjie said that in the next step, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will deeply implement the "New Energy Vehicle Industry Development Plan (2021-2035)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Planning"), work with relevant departments to implement it, strengthen the research and work coordination of the problem, and promote the development of the industry to a new level.

Specifically, the above work will be carried out from four aspects, including improving the support policy, studying and clarifying the support policies such as the continuation of the preferential car purchase tax as soon as possible, and optimizing the "double integral" management method.

Optimize the "double integral" management method

According to data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, in the first quarter of this year, the cumulative production and sales of new energy vehicles in mainland China reached 1.293 million units and 1.257 million units, respectively, an increase of 1.4 times year-on-year; the market penetration rate was 19.3%, an increase of 11.4 percentage points year-on-year, an increase of 5.9 percentage points over the whole of 2021.

Among them, the cumulative sales of New Energy Passenger Vehicles of Chinese brands increased by 1.5 times year-on-year, higher than the overall growth rate of the market. In the total sales of passenger cars, Chinese brands accounted for 75.1% of sales, an increase of 2 percentage points over the same period last year.

In terms of fuel cell vehicles, the cumulative production and sales in the first quarter increased by 7.2 times and 3.9 times year-on-year, respectively, and the cumulative output of models in the power exchange mode was close to 40,000 units, an increase of 82% year-on-year. In addition, in the first quarter, a total of 492,000 charging piles of various types were built, an increase of 3.6 times year-on-year, of which 85,000 were public piles and 407,000 private piles, an increase of 1 times and 5 times respectively year-on-year; 154 substations were completed, an increase of 1.6 times year-on-year.

At the press conference, Luo Junjie said that in the next step, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will deeply implement the "New Energy Vehicle Industry Development Plan (2021-2035)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Planning"), work with relevant departments to implement well, strengthen the research and work coordination of the problem, and promote industrial development to a new level.

Specifically, the above work will be carried out from four aspects: First, improve the support policy. As soon as possible, study and clarify support policies such as the continuation of preferential car purchase tax, and optimize the "double integral" management method.

At the beginning of March this year, based on the perspective of the beginning of 2022, China Automobile Data Co., Ltd. and the joint research unit predicted the annual forecast price range of 1000 to 1400 yuan / min for the trading period from January to September 2022, which is much lower than the forecast price range of 2600 to 2900 yuan / min in the trading period from January to December 2021.

At the end of last year, the price of new energy vehicle credits was as high as 3,000 yuan / cent, and it is predicted that the price will rise again in 2022, and even expected to exceed 10,000 yuan per cent. But the reality is not rising, but falling. The recent points transaction price disclosed by automobile companies is even lower than the forecast value given by China Automobile Data. "Last year, the value of points was about 2500 yuan / point and above, and the lowest was about 2350 yuan / point, but because the sales of new energy vehicles increased by 160% last year, so there are more and more points, and the value of points this year is only 500 to 800 yuan a point." Some car executives said.

Based on this status quo, whether the double points policy will usher in an adjustment has attracted much attention. Luo Junjie's speech at the press conference of the State Council's new office also gave the industry a "reassuring pill".

Implement the action of tackling the tough problems of automotive chips

Subsequently, Luo Junjie mentioned three other aspects of the above work.

The second is to promote cross-border integration. Promote the integration and development of electrification and intelligent networking technology, further improve the safety of power batteries, low temperature adaptation and other performance, accelerate the application of 5G and vehicle-road collaboration technologies, and continuously improve the quality of new energy vehicle products and driving experience.

The third is to promote the promotion and application, and will continue to carry out the pilot work of new energy vehicles going to the countryside and the power exchange mode, and start the pilot project of fully electrifying vehicles in the public sector. According to data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, the cumulative sales volume of new energy vehicles going to the countryside in 2021 was 1.068 million units, an increase of 169.2% year-on-year, and the growth rate was about 10 percentage points higher than the growth rate of the overall new energy vehicle market, and the contribution rate was close to 30%.

The fourth is to strengthen the guarantee of stable operation, moderately accelerate the progress of domestic resource development, work with relevant departments to resolutely crack down on unfair competition such as hoarding and price gouging, and promote the return of raw material prices to rationality as soon as possible. Give play to the role of the automotive industry chain supply chain smooth coordination platform, and strive to ensure the production and supply of parts. We must also pay attention to strengthening the overall layout of resources and resolutely curb blind investment and redundant construction.

According to Luo Junjie, in the first quarter, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in the field of automobile manufacturing, tried every means to open up the industrial chain supply chain blockage point card point, in-depth implementation of the automotive chip attack action, the establishment of bulk raw materials "red, yellow and blue" supply early warning mechanism.

In addition, Luo Junjie said that in the next step, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will thoroughly implement the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, coordinate the prevention and control of the epidemic and economic and social development, adhere to the work requirements of "people's livelihood to support the bottom, freight transportation to be smooth, and industry to circulate", pay close attention to various measures, promote the stable production and resumption of work and production of key industrial enterprises, ensure the smooth and stable supply chain of the industrial chain, and promote the smooth operation of the industrial economy.

It is worth noting that recently, Shanghai issued and implemented the "Work Plan on Carrying Out the Operation of Key Enterprises (Trial)", issued the "Guidelines for the Prevention and Control of the Epidemic of the Resumption of Work and Production of Municipal Industrial Enterprises (First Edition)", and established a "white list" system for key enterprises to start the implementation of the resumption of work and production. Among them, there are 666 enterprises in the "white list" of the first batch of key enterprises that have resumed work, of which 249 are related to automobiles, accounting for more than 37%.

In addition, as of April 16, China FAW's five OEMs in Changchun had all resumed work, with a total of 7,438 people returning to work. At present, FAW Hongqi Ulsan Plant and FAW-Volkswagen have rolled off the production line, and FAW Besturn and FAW Jiefang have completed the commissioning of production lines and started production on April 17. In addition to vehicle companies, more than 20,000 of China FAW's 276 parts suppliers have returned to work.
