According to recent data released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China, in the first half of this year, China's automobile production and sales have generally maintained a steady growth, especially the growth of new energy vehicles. From January to June, the production and sales of new energy vehicles were 1.215 million and 1.206 million, respectively, a year-on-year increase of both. Hou Fushen, deputy secretary-general of the Society of Automotive Engineers of China, said in an interview that China's annual production and sales of new energy vehicles reached 2 million "no suspense." "There were 1.2 million vehicles in the first half of the year, so this year it will definitely exceed 2 million. From the perspective of the overall market penetration rate, the pace of advancement is also very fast. Last year, our entire new energy vehicle market share in the country was 5.4%. In the first half of this year, it has been close to 10%, so I think this year has already unveiled a big curtain of full marketization, and the speed of promotion and popularization in the entire market is constantly accelerating."

Hou Fushen, deputy secretary-general of the Society of Automotive Engineers of China, is not without basis for his confidence. In the "2020 World New Energy Vehicle Conference Consensus" adopted at the Second World New Energy Vehicle Conference held last year, the participants reaffirmed the goal of "the global market share of new energy vehicles will reach 50% by 2035". And proposed to strive to achieve full marketization of pure electric vehicles by 2025. Hou Fushen said that China has also put forward the goal of "achieving a 20% market share of new energy vehicles by 2025" and is expected to achieve it ahead of schedule: "Now in some areas, our pure electric vehicles have the ability to compete with gasoline vehicles. For example, for some miniature and short-distance models, they no longer need subsidies and can compete with gasoline vehicles of the same level. Therefore, in 2025, pure electric vehicles will achieve complete marketization. I think there is no problem; now the state plans The goal is to account for 20% of the new energy vehicle market by 2025. Now, the planning goal is likely to be advanced because it will be around 10% this year."

Data show that from January to June this year, China’s total export of new energy passenger vehicles was 82,000, a year-on-year increase of 342%. New energy vehicle companies, including some "new car manufacturers", are accelerating their deployment in the European market, making the sales of Chinese new energy vehicles in the European market an important engine for overall export growth. In Hou Fushen's view, the "going global" of new energy vehicles will become an important breakthrough for China's auto industry to "go global". "New energy vehicles are a historic opportunity for us. We used to export traditional vehicles (sold to) Asia, Africa and Latin America, but now new energy vehicles have completely reversed this situation and have been exported to developed countries. , Including the United States, Japan, Europe, and the volume is gradually expanding, many "new power" brands are also targeting the international market. I personally think it is very promising, companies should seize the opportunity of the transformation of the entire automotive industry, overseas Constantly expand share."

At present, the global automotive industry is accelerating the pace of "electricity." In order to accelerate the cross-industry integration in the field of new energy vehicles, the 3rd World New Energy Vehicle Conference will be held in Haikou, Hainan from September 15th to 17th this year. Hou Fushen said, "The conference will play the role of a global platform for international exchanges and cooperation of new energy vehicles to further promote the "internationalization" of China's new energy vehicles. Experience, the formation of the "Chinese plan", to exchange and show to the world. At the same time, we also use this platform to connect international scientific and technological resources, industrial resources and domestic related aspects to promote scientific and technological cooperation and industrial cooperation."

It is understood that this year's World New Energy Vehicle Conference will last three days and will invite Britain as the guest of honor. The conference includes 21 conferences and technology exhibitions, science and technology selection, science popularization activities and other content. The exhibition area is 10,000 square meters, focusing on the display of technologies and products such as new energy vehicles, hydrogen fuel cells, automotive electronic chips, charging and swapping. At present, it has been confirmed that major domestic and foreign vehicle companies and parts companies will bring the latest products and technologies to the conference.
