12 years ago, there was a topic that was hotly discussed by many small partners and is still discussed by many people, that is, carbon emission rights.
What is carbon emissions? It is human beings who control the temperature of the earth, the concentration of carbon dioxide, and limit the carbon emissions of each country. Supposedly this should be a good thing, and for the sake of humanity's tomorrow, it is no problem to do so. The problem is that units are based on the state, not individuals.
In fact, we all understand that the concentration of carbon dioxide emitted in the process of industrialization is very high, so in theory, the faster a country industrialization in the process of development, the greater the carbon emissions, until the country completes a high level of industrial upgrading. What if carbon emissions exceed the standard in the process of industrialization? Quite simply, spend money to go to the market and buy it. Therefore, in 2010, an authoritative academician said that in the future, China may spend 1 trillion yuan per year to buy carbon emissions.
This brings about a very serious problem, that is, these developing countries, especially countries of China's size, will be locked in future development space, and they will also receive a large amount of funds from China to purchase carbon emission qualifications, thus further constraining China's development. In the words of Ding Zhongli, a senior academician, you can't ask me that China's carbon emissions are the same as Morocco's, which is extremely unfair. If it is calculated per capita, it may be much better, but the developed countries turn a blind eye.
In fact, small partners who understand history and study geography will find that in recent centuries, the earth's temperature has fluctuated up and down, more than when it was cold now, and more than when it was hot now, so the problem of carbon emissions seems to be more tailor-made for developed countries, especially China.
So since 2010, the national strategy has begun to quietly transform, but it was not obvious at that time. Now this strategy has begun to bear fruit, that is, new energy vehicles. It is undeniable that the technological breakthroughs and technological progress brought about by new energy vehicles have driven the industrial upgrading of the whole of China and reduced the consumption of energy per unit of GDP, which is actually the biggest benefit of industrial upgrading. According to estimates, by 2030, China's carbon emission indicators even have a lot of surplus, and they can even be sold on the market, which will be a large profit.
In 2021, our sales of new energy vehicles exceeded 3.52 million units, and exported 310,000 units abroad. In January and February this year alone, more than 100,000 new cars were exported to foreign countries, which means that our own brand of new energy vehicles ushered in a breakthrough in all aspects. Not only does it effectively reduce energy consumption, but also the new car is more competitive in the market, which has not happened since the founding of New China.
GAC Aean is one of the dark horses. In April this year, many new car-making forces began to release sales in March, of which GAC Aeon's monthly sales exceeded 20,000 vehicles, which is too appropriate to describe it as a blockbuster, and Aeon has become a new milestone in the development of new energy vehicles. It is worth mentioning that last year,EAN sales have exceeded 120,000 vehicles, so the entire industry has ushered in stronger competitors.
Aian is a high-end intelligent pure electric positioning, with pure electric factory, pure electricity platform, with a very comprehensive innovative technology, such as NDA, over-the-horizon parking, three original batteries, xingling architecture, G-OS cockpit, AEP3.0, innovative technology represents our own brand from manufacturing to intelligent manufacturing industry, high-tech blessing makes the entire product more in line with the new era, naturally can also effectively reduce the carbon emissions of the production of a single car.
In addition to the high-tech configuration, Aeon has excellent vehicle quality and vehicle process, and the manufacturer has created a unique production method of Aeon in the lean production mode to ensure manufacturing capabilities. The factory is an exclusive factory specializing in the production of pure electric vehicles, with four leading advantages in the world, including flexible production of steel and aluminum bodies, digital independent decision-making, interactive customization, and comprehensive utilization of energy, which not only improves the degree of environmental protection, but also improves the quality of the whole vehicle by several layers. Interestingly, the Aeon factory is the world's first smart factory that can achieve mass customization, allowing users to deeply participate and enjoy more personalized experiences. EON's intelligent factory is expected to have a capacity of 400,000 by the end of 2023, which also reflects the speed of China's industry.
In fact, Eon has been positioned as an innovative technology company since its inception, although Eian is a state-owned enterprise, but it feels the least like a state-owned enterprise, because in addition to having an excellent talent reserve, full of high-tech technical heritage, as well as a vibrant talent introduction mechanism and unique innovative thinking, so some people feel that GAC Aean is the least like a state-owned enterprise.
So far, Aeon is the only EV+ICV brand in the industry that has achieved leading positions, and the equipment rate of the three original battery core technologies + ICV is as high as 50%, which also gives the company a broader development prospect in the future.
The more advanced the technology of mainland car companies, the more sufficient the scientific and technological content of products, the more we can enjoy the changes brought by science and technology to our ordinary people, and the higher the quality of life. And our own brand car companies can keep most of the profits in China, which is also impossible to do in the era of fuel vehicles. There is no doubt that new car-making forces like GAC Aean have begun to rise gradually, and we have also witnessed the arrival of this great era.
