With the advent of the era of new energy vehicles, fuel vehicles are facing elimination
The pace of the era of new energy vehicles is getting closer and closer! The European Union recently announced that it will completely ban the sale of fuel vehicles in the EU from 2035. This means that traditional gasoline and diesel vehicles will be completely phased out of the historical stage and replaced by pure electric vehicles and other zero-emission new energy vehicles.
This decision marks a new stage in the development of the European new energy vehicle industry. In order to achieve the goal of "carbon neutrality" by 2050, the EU must vigorously promote the low-carbon transition in the transport sector. As one of the main sources of emissions, banning the sale of fuel vehicles is undoubtedly a "strong medicine".
This "fierce medicine" also made traditional car companies feel a "toothache". Some major automakers, such as Germany and Italy, have objected for fear of job losses. Finally, a compromise will be passed to allow the subsequent sale of new vehicles using carbon-neutral synthetic fuels after 2035.
Still, the days of fuel vehicles are numbered. In the next five years, the European new energy vehicle market will usher in explosive growth, and major car companies will increase their investment in electrification. For consumers, the choice of buying a car is facing earth-shaking changes, and complex new energy models will become the mainstream.
This new energy revolution will not only have a profound impact on Europe, but also reshape the global automotive industry pattern. As the world's largest NEV market, what is the future development prospect of China? What will governments and businesses do to prepare? Let's wait and see.
The era of new energy vehicles is accelerating, and the ban on the sale of fuel vehicles is imminent
With the rapid popularization of new energy vehicles, traditional fuel vehicles are facing unprecedented challenges. More and more countries and regions have clarified the timetable for the ban on fuel vehicles, which will undoubtedly accelerate the withdrawal of fuel vehicles from the historical stage.
The EU was the first to act. In April 2023, the European Union officially approved a regulation banning the sale of new combustion engine vehicles within the EU from 2035. This means that after 12 years, the European market will completely bid farewell to the era of fuel vehicles. Before that, Norway, the Netherlands and other countries will come earlier.
Continental is also actively promoting the withdrawal of fuel vehicles. In August 2022, Hainan Province issued the "Carbon Peak Implementation Plan", which clarified that by 2030, the entire island will completely ban the sale of fuel vehicles. Hainan has thus become the country's first province to ban oil, and similar plans are in the works in other regions.
In addition to the government's administrative measures, auto companies themselves are also preparing for the withdrawal of fuel vehicles. BYD, BAIC and other domestic brands have announced a timetable for the discontinuation of sales of gasoline vehicles, usually around 2025. Multinational car companies such as Toyota and Volkswagen are also accelerating the pace of electrification transformation.
The tide of banning the sale of fuel vehicles has hit, and traditional car companies have to accelerate the transformation to new energy vehicles. It's a tough process, with product lines rebuilt, supply chains adjusted, production lines remodeled, and so on. However, the development of new energy vehicles has also brought new opportunities to traditional car companies.
The technology of new energy vehicles is changing with each passing day, and the "hard problems" such as cruising range and charging time are constantly improving. Breakthroughs in battery technology will further improve the cost-effectiveness of new energy vehicles and expand their market share. The degree of intelligence and networking of new energy vehicles will far exceed that of traditional fuel vehicles, opening up new value-added space for car companies.
The degree of localization of the new energy vehicle industry chain is getting higher and higher, and the competitiveness of domestic car companies in this field is constantly improving. Taking batteries as an example, companies such as CATL and BYD have become global leaders to help control the cost of domestic new energy vehicles.
In the face of the end of the era of fuel vehicles, traditional car companies must seize the development opportunities of new energy vehicles. Those enterprises that transform in time and take the initiative to embrace change will have an advantage on the new track; And those companies that are complacent and indifferent are doomed to be eliminated.
The new energy vehicle industry is taking off, and it is time for China's intelligent manufacturing to take off
The development prospects of China's new energy vehicle industry are vast. With the continuous innovation of technology, favorable policies and increasing consumer acceptance, new energy vehicles will become the main force of the automotive industry and the pride of China's manufacturing industry.
At the technical level, key technologies such as batteries, motors, and electronic controls will continue to make breakthroughs, bringing longer mileage, faster charging speed, and higher vehicle energy efficiency to new energy vehicles. The integration of intelligent network technology and new energy vehicles will accelerate, and cutting-edge technologies such as autonomous driving and intelligent transportation will be widely used to bring users a new travel experience.
In terms of policy support, the state will further improve the policy system of the new energy vehicle industry, and create a good development environment for enterprises from various aspects such as finance, taxation, finance and infrastructure. At the same time, we will intensify our efforts to tackle key problems in core technologies, cultivate a number of leading enterprises with international competitiveness, and enhance the overall strength of the industry.
Consumers' awareness and acceptance of new energy vehicles are also increasing. With the gradual elimination of the "panic disorder" of mileage and the continuous decline in the price of new energy vehicles, more and more consumers will choose to buy new energy vehicles. Especially in third- and fourth-tier cities and rural areas, new energy vehicles will become the first choice.
In the next five to ten years, China's new energy vehicle market will maintain a rapid growth trend, and the penetration rate is expected to exceed 50%. China's new energy vehicle industry chain is becoming more and more perfect, and the supporting capacity is constantly enhanced, which will contribute more to the development of global new energy vehicles.
The development of the new energy vehicle industry is not all smooth sailing. Problems such as the shortage of battery raw materials, the lag in the construction of charging facilities, and the lack of independent controllability of core technologies still need to be solved. However, as long as we maintain strategic focus, adhere to innovation-driven, and work together, these challenges will eventually be overcome.
As the saying goes, "the times create heroes", the advent of the era of new energy vehicles has given wings to China's automobile industry. We have reason to believe that in the field of new energy intelligent vehicles, China's intelligent manufacturing is at the right time and will shine with new light!
