Wan Gang: The next five years are the key five years for electric vehicles to become bigger and stronger.

Since the outbreak of the financial crisis, a new wave of new energy vehicle development has been formed on a global scale. Among the various new energy vehicle technology routes, electric vehicles represented by hybrid, pure electric vehicles and fuel cell vehicles, It is generally regarded as the main direction for the future transformation and development of automotive energy and power systems. Wan Gang, vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and Minister of Science and Technology, said last week at the China Automotive Industry Development International Forum, known as the "Davos of the automotive industry," that China's electric vehicles have entered the stage of industrialization since the beginning of research and development. Wan Gang pointed out that the next five years will be the key five years for electric vehicles to become bigger and stronger.

In an interview with the reporter, Zhang Shulin, director of the China Automotive Technology and Research Center, revealed that at present, national ministries and commissions have detailed plans for the new energy automotive industry, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is seeking opinions from all parties for final revision. New energy vehicle planning is expected to be released within two months. Wan Gang also revealed that the draft of the 12th five-year special plan for the development of electric vehicle science and technology is clear. It will focus on breakthroughs in a series of key technologies such as safety, consistency, durability, and low cost of electric vehicle battery, as well as key development with high comfort. High-reliability city buses and pure electric mini passenger cars are used to meet market demand. At the same time, it will intensify the technological innovation of infrastructure such as charging facilities, accelerate the research of technical standards, and improve the standard system.

Nissan electric vehicle made in 5 years

Nissan Motors has taken the lead in the competition of multinational auto giants for the Chinese electric vehicle market. Nissan (China) Investment Co., Ltd. General Manager Hashimoto Yasuhiro said in an interview with reporters last week that its world's first mass-produced electric vehicle Leaf will be put into operation in Wuhan in mid-2011 and will be operated in the next five years. Dongfeng Nissan will also implement domestic production.

According to the introduction of Nissan China Deputy General Manager Nakagawa Yoshihiko, the Leaf has announced the price in the European market in May of this year, and it will be sold worldwide before the end of this year. At present, the car is actively laying out the Chinese market. Hashimoto Yasuhiro revealed that the new car entering the Chinese market in addition to Wuhan in addition to the early stage also includes Guangzhou, and will follow up with the expansion of sales of the city. “At present, the problems faced in the promotion of electric vehicles, including supporting charging facilities and battery replacement, will be studied together with relevant governments and other related industries. This is the direction we are currently researching.” Hashimoto Taizhao said. And Nakagawa Yoshihiko said that after the hearing of the wind market, its after-sale warranty period will be consistent with that of gasoline vehicles, that is, 60,000 kilometers for two years.

Zotye Electric Vehicles began selling to individuals

Wu Jianzhong, chairman of Zhongtai Automobile, said last week that although it was a latecomer to the automotive industry, Zotye began research and development in pure electric vehicles in 2005 and obtained the country’s first electric vehicle patent. At present, Zotye cooperates with the State Grid and Putian Marine Oil, and actively connects with the construction of power stations and power grids. It has begun to actively plan for the mass production of electric vehicles.

Wu Jianzhong said that currently Zotye's electric vehicles have begun to sell to foreign countries, with Zhongtai taking the lead in testing the water in the Hangzhou market at the beginning of the year. The monthly rent for the first batch of electric vehicles is 2,500 yuan. “After the country’s private car purchase policy came out, Zotye has already achieved a breakthrough in private car purchases in Hangzhou.” Wu Jianzhong said that although related specific policies have yet to be further landed, now Zotye has sold five vehicles and has now received dozens of vehicles. Private car purchase orders.

Nowadays, the state has explicitly included the fuel-electric hybrid power-saving technology, and Chen Bin, Director of the Industry Coordination Department of the National Development and Reform Commission, has also emphasized the policy of equal emphasis on energy-saving and new energy development at the 2010 International Forum on Automobile Industry Development.

Wan Gang, Minister of Science and Technology, said that in the next 5 to 10 years, hybrid electric vehicles will become the main direction for the transformation and upgrading of traditional automobile energy-saving technologies; pure electric vehicles, including plug-in electric vehicles, will become the mainstream of the recent development strategy; fuel cells The automobile will become the commanding height of future development. Zhang Shulin, deputy director of the Automotive Industry Department of the former Ministry of Machinery Industry, also believes that energy conservation and new energy must be simultaneously applied. If only new energy sources are seen and energy conservation is not seen, this is a route that lacks practical considerations and cannot be developed well.

However, despite the fact that the country has included ordinary hybrids in the main position of energy-saving technologies, from the current reality, subsidies for hybrid power are still small. Subsidies tend to be plug-in hybrid passenger cars and pure electric passenger cars. The maximum subsidy for a plug-in hybrid vehicle is 50,000 yuan, while hybrid power is included in the energy-saving and people-friendly project. A one-time fixed subsidy is granted at a rate of 3,000 yuan per vehicle, which is paid directly to the consumer by the manufacturer. This makes it difficult to improve the high prices of Japanese-made hybrid vehicles such as the Prius, Camry, and Civic on the market. For hybrid cars, the country has already indicated that the support will be similar to that of new energy vehicles. However, there are no concrete measures at present. Most local companies have begun to shift their focus to purely electric vehicles, which are highly supported and protected by the government.

As a result, foreign companies with hybrid technologies such as Toyota and Honda are seeing huge business opportunities in the future, and they are also annoyed by the high prices that are hardly supported by the government. Honda China’s Minister Kurosaki Makoto previously stated that he hopes to achieve local production through local production and local procurement of batteries and other core components. Related preparations have already begun, but another question is whether prices can be accepted by consumers. Without sufficient demand, how to achieve mass production to reduce costs.
