The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) recently announced that all restrictions on foreign-funded shares in the automobile industry will be abolished in the next five years. At the same time, with the continuous decline of subsidies for new energy vehicles, new energy vehicles have entered a period of accelerated industrial adjustment. The reporter learned from the industry that in order to promote the development of new energy vehicles, this year, important policies will be continuously introduced in the field of new energy vehicles around infrastructure construction and model innovation to promote the cost reduction and service quality improvement of new energy vehicles and further promote the rapid expansion of new energy vehicles under the new situation.
Lian Qingfeng, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of BAIC New Energy Automobile Company, said that in the future, the development of new energy vehicles will certainly extend from products to services, to travel and to the whole lifestyle, which will also be the main line of the transformation and development of the automobile industry. And around the service upgrade, it will inevitably bring innovation in the development model.
To reduce the cost of new energy vehicles, Li Yixiu, deputy general manager of BAIC New Energy, said that on the one hand, the battery and electricity cost of new energy vehicles will be reduced through technological progress, and on the other hand, the one-time input cost will be reduced through model innovation. For example, the new energy vehicle and the battery are separated through the power exchange mode, and consumers will no longer bear the cost of the battery completely, so that the cost of purchasing new energy vehicles by consumers will be greatly reduced, and the convenience and cost of using new energy vehicles can be greatly improved.
In addition, the innovation of promotion mode will further promote the expansion of new energy vehicles in the future. Time-sharing and other travel services are becoming a focus of new energy vehicle manufacturers and an important way to promote the development of new energy vehicles. At the same time, it has also promoted the upgrading and transformation of many vehicle manufacturing enterprises from manufacturing enterprises to service enterprises.
Experts said that China’s travel service market is still not perfect. On the one hand, it lacks corresponding rules and regulations and has not formed a unified and effective industry management. On the other hand, the scale of enterprises is small and has not yet formed a scale advantage. So far, there are more than 300 enterprises engaged in shared travel business in China, but only four of them have more than 10,000 vehicles, and most of them are only a few hundred vehicles.
In view of these situations, the relevant departments have begun to make policy preparations. The reporter learned from relevant fields that some important policies on time-sharing and new energy vehicles will be introduced this year, including the regulation of time-sharing market, the construction of charging facilities, and model innovation.
