The Information Office of the State Council held a press conference at 10:00 a.m. on the 28th to introduce the promotion of stable operation, quality improvement and upgrading of industry and informatization. Xin Guobin, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said in response to questions from reporters that during the "13th Five Year Plan" period, China's new energy vehicle industry developed relatively fast. The annual sales volume increased from 507000 in 2016 to 1367000 in 2020, with an average annual growth rate of 28%. Last year, the new energy vehicle industry delivered a beautiful answer. The production and sales of both vehicles exceeded 3.5 million, reaching 3.545 million and 3.521 million, respectively, with a year-on-year growth of 1.6 times, ranking first in the world for seven consecutive years, and the cumulative promotion volume has exceeded 9 million.

The achievements of the new energy vehicle industry in 2021 exceeded the predictions of some experts and institutions. I think you will be concerned about whether this year can maintain this gratifying development situation. In recent years, we have carried out a series of research work, deeply felt the development of the new energy vehicle industry, matched the direction of green and low-carbon development, driven the extension and expansion of the power battery, motor, electronic control and other industrial chains, and gave birth to intelligent cockpit, automatic driving, intelligent networking, etc Electric vehicle charging pile Its rapid application has promoted the reform in the field of logistics and transportation, and has also brought consumers a new experience of green travel. The ecology of industrial development has gradually improved and perfected, so judging from all aspects of the situation, China's new energy vehicle industry has entered a new stage of large-scale and rapid development. Although our development still faces some difficulties and challenges, it is expected that this year it will still maintain a high-speed growth trend. In the future, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will give full play to the role of the inter ministerial joint meeting mechanism for energy conservation and new energy vehicle industry development, focusing on five aspects of work.

First, improve support policies. Pay close attention to the research and clarification of support policies such as the continuation of preferential purchase tax for new energy vehicles, optimize the management method of "double points", effectively link up with the decline of subsidies, and stabilize market expectations. We will organize the preparation of the road map for green development of the automobile industry to provide guidance and help for enterprises in the industry.

Second, support innovation and breakthrough. Promote the integrated development of electrification and intelligent networking technology, further improve the performance of power battery safety, low temperature adaptation, accelerate the application of 5G, vehicle road collaboration technology, develop more leisure and entertainment, life services, automatic driving and other functions that meet the needs of consumers, continue to improve the product quality and driving experience of new energy vehicles, and enhance the sense of gain of consumers.

Third, promote market expansion. We will launch a pilot city for comprehensive electrification of vehicles in the public sector, and focus on improving the electrification level of vehicles for urban logistics distribution, leasing, sanitation, etc. We will work with relevant parties to accelerate the construction of charging and replacement infrastructure in response to the problem of "difficult charging" of old residential areas and expressways that people have concentrated on, New energy vehicle charging pile Promote the realization of information sharing and unified settlement, and constantly improve the charging convenience of new energy vehicles.

Fourth, strengthen resource guarantee. Focusing on meeting the production needs of power batteries, we should moderately accelerate the development of domestic lithium resources, and crack down on unfair competition such as hoarding and price gouging. At the same time, improve the power battery recycling system, support efficient disassembly, recycling and other technical breakthroughs, and constantly improve the recovery rate and resource utilization efficiency.

Fifth, strengthen safety supervision. We always emphasize that safety is the prerequisite for the development of the new energy vehicle industry. Without safety, there can be no development. Therefore, we should adhere to the bottom line thinking, and improve the functional security, data security, network security and other security capabilities as a whole. Continuously improve the safety technical standards for new energy vehicles, and improve the thermal runaway alarm and safety protection level of power batteries. Build a systematic, scientific and standardized safety management system for new energy vehicles, so that consumers can use it more confidently New energy vehicle maintenance 。
