The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology recently issued the "Regulations on the Management of New Energy Vehicle Manufacturing Enterprises and Product Access." The new rules basically follow the framework and main content of the “Regulations for the Management of New Energy Vehicle Production Access†issued by the National Development and Reform Commission in October 2007. The difference is that the jurisdiction of new energy vehicles has been changed from the National Development and Reform Commission to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. What is more concerned about by the industry is that the new rules have changed some details.
There are many details of the changes
Jia Xinguang, a senior expert in the automotive industry, briefed reporters on several details of the new rules: The new rule adds a third sentence: “The automobile referred to in these Regulations refers to the national standard GB/T 3730.1-2001 “Automobiles and Trailers. Types of Terms and Definitions, "Motor Vehicles (Complete Vehicles) and Chassis (Incomplete Vehicles)" as defined in Section 2.1." This provision basically cuts off the way out of the Shanzhai version of electric vehicles.
Article 4 of the original rules “Enterprises engaged in the manufacturing of new energy vehicles within the territory of the People's Republic of China shall abide by these rules,†and shall be classified as Article 2 in the new rules, and the contents shall be changed to “new domestic use within the territory of the People’s Republic of China. This rule applies to the enterprises that produce energy vehicles and the new energy automobile products they produce." Jia Xinguang believes that this can be understood as the export of new energy vehicles is not within the scope of this rule.
The new rule adds two words to the tenth article of the new energy vehicle product access conditions: “The product has passed the inspection and inspection by the testing agency designated by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The product does not infringe the intellectual property of others.†Jia Xinguang believes that these two The sentence is very important. First of all, it must pass the inspection, followed by the innocence of technical sources and no intellectual property disputes.
The new rules have added many new requirements to the entry requirements and review requirements for new energy automobile production companies, added specific technical requirements for maintenance services, and added requirements for parts procurement management capabilities. Jia Xinguang believes this It is an important part of the guarantee of consistency in production capacity and quality. According to the new rules, a new energy automobile production enterprise shall be a vehicle production enterprise and a manufacturer of refitted commercial vehicles that are announced by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in the vehicle production enterprise and product announcement, and the new automobile enterprise shall be handled in accordance with the relevant state investment management regulations. The approval or filing of the project. "The establishment of a threshold can effectively prevent enterprises from rushing to the top and waste resources," said Han Guang, deputy secretary-general of the Automobile Economic Development Research Branch of the China Automotive Engineering Society.
Emphasize the normative and guiding role
"Phase management is the biggest feature of the new rules." Yuan Zhaoxiang, professor of automotive engineering at Tsinghua University, said that the new rules will take different management approaches for products at different technical stages. They will study in phases and achieve certain goals in phases, so that the industry will have rules. Follow.
The new rules will be divided into 3 different technical stages: starting stage, development stage, and mature stage, according to the maturity of new energy vehicles, system and key assembly technologies, and the degree of perfection of national and industrial standards and the degree of industrialization. In this regard, Lin Cheng, deputy director of the Electric Vehicle Engineering Technology Center of Beijing Institute of Technology, stated: "The new rules define the capabilities of new energy automobile manufacturing companies in detail, and promote the increase of R&D investment in core technologies and increase the overall vehicle technology level. To ensure the healthy development of the new energy automotive industry has a normative and guiding role."
"If the new rules can be strictly enforced, especially for the mastering of the three core technologies of the new energy vehicle battery management system, motor control system and vehicle control system, it will greatly promote the development of China's new energy automotive industry." According to Li Menghai, analyst of automotive investment consultants.
Assistant General Manager of the Chery Automobile Co., Ltd. and Jin Bibo, a spokesperson for the press, told reporters that the introduction of the new rules is good news for independent brands such as Chery that are pioneering in the research, development, and industrialization of new energy vehicles. “The new rules clearly define the technical stage, industrialization conditions, and entry barriers. They have strong guiding significance and operability, and will greatly promote the process of industrialization of domestic new energy vehicles and the R&D and production of core components such as vehicle companies and batteries. Enterprises have far-reaching influence and will also strongly attract the attention of the capital market."
Disputes the division of technical stages
According to the new rules for the division of new energy vehicles, the application of lead-acid batteries in hybrid passenger vehicles, pure electric passenger vehicles, and pure electric commercial vehicles is at a mature stage. Lead-acid battery-powered new energy vehicles can be industrialized; Ni-MH batteries are more mature than hybrid lithium-ion batteries, especially in hybrid passenger cars. The conditions for the application of pure electric vehicles are better than those of nickel-metal hydride batteries, but they are still in a period of development and can be demonstrated and promoted in the region; supercapacitors are in the development phase in the application of hybrid vehicles, and are in the initial stage in the application of pure electric vehicles; others Including zinc-air batteries, fuel cells, hydrogen engine cars, DME cars are all in their infancy.
“The commercialization of new energy vehicles is inseparable from consumer voting.†Jin Xiaobo believes that hybrid vehicles with relatively mature technologies are expected to enter the commercialization stage, nickel-metal hydride batteries and lead-acid battery technologies are more mature than lithium-ion batteries, and application thresholds Lower, the introduction of the new rules confirms the trend of this technology.
“The starting point of the new rules is safety first.†According to the relevant person in charge of Peking University Science and Technology Industry Co., Ltd., in terms of safety and technology maturity, the current technological development is indeed the case. The application of nickel-metal hydride battery technology in hybrid vehicles is relatively mature and Japan has been using it for many years. Lithium batteries have many advantages, but the assessment period is short, and commercialization is not yet very fast. At present, the development period is more reasonable. However, judging from the trend of technological development, such division is very unfavorable for the development of lithium batteries and is not conducive to the leap-forward development of new energy vehicles in China.
Lin Cheng also believes that the lithium battery technology will be classified as a development period, and even the commercial vehicle lithium battery will be classified as a relatively conservative start-up period. “At present, lithium batteries have been used as the development direction of vehicle power batteries in foreign countries, and the market is being vigorously promoted. As a big lithium resource country, China is still arguing over the safety of lithium batteries, and vehicles using lead-acid batteries are classified as mature products. Therefore, new energy automobile companies and power battery companies are somewhat at a loss." In fact, after many years of technological progress, the safety and service life of lithium batteries for vehicles have been greatly improved. Domestic lithium batteries have to undergo rigorous safety testing before they are used in whole vehicles. The Beijing Lithium-ion battery buses are already at 121 roads. The Olympic Games dedicated a large-scale, long-term, high-level demonstration operation that has won unanimous praise at home and abroad and is an important highlight of China's new energy vehicles. "I believe that as long as the lithium battery technology is strictly regulated, strict control of production qualification, strict performance and safety testing, large-scale application of lithium battery electric vehicles in China is just around the corner."
“The application prospect of lithium batteries in electric vehicles is very good. The application in pure electric special vehicles can now be promoted within a certain range. For lithium batteries used in hybrid vehicles, all automobile companies are conducting tests and there should be two years. The time will be allowed to enter mass production,†said Zhang Weige, associate professor of the School of Electrical Engineering at Beijing Jiaotong University.
Establish a New Energy Vehicle Technology Sharing Platform
Recently, Japan, the United States, and other countries have made major moves in supporting the development of new energy vehicles. They have organized technological research and development and provided credit support for related companies in terms of funding. The NEDO, a subsidiary of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan, announced that it will establish a research, development, production, research and development alliance centered on Kyoto University to jointly implement the 2009 new project "Special Research on Innovative Advanced Battery Advanced Science." The research and development alliance includes Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Mitsubishi and other auto giants, Sanyo Electric, Panasonic, Shin-Kobe Electric, Hitachi and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and other electromechanical and battery companies, as well as Kyoto University, Tohoku University, Tokyo Institute of Technology, and industrial technology integration. A total of 22 institutions such as research institutes and universities and research institutions have formed a veritable "all-Japan" system. The implementation of the project will be based on Kyoto University. Each participating unit will dispatch more than 50 researchers to specialize in cooperative research and develop common basic technologies required by each company. The Japanese government plans to invest 21 billion yen in the project within seven years, and by 2020 it will triple the current battery life of a single electric vehicle.
U.S. Secretary of Energy Zhu Xiwen also opened a "green light" for the development of electric vehicles. Recently, the U.S. government allocated billions of U.S. dollars to support the development of electric vehicles, and Nissan Motors of Japan also received a loan of 1.6 billion U.S. dollars for the launch of battery-powered cars for the mass market in the United States. Ford and other US automakers are even betting on "for bets." Ford Motor Co., Ltd. obtained a $5.9 billion loan from the US Department of Energy for equipment replacement to produce 13 energy-efficient vehicles, including an annual output of 5,000 to 10,000 vehicles starting in 2011. electric car.
"The breakdown of China's new energy automotive industry also requires government departments to give substantive support from the R&D level and funding level, especially the support for the research and development level of new energy vehicles." Sun Muzi, automotive analyst at Anson Securities, believes that if the government is established Related joint scientific research institutions and the establishment of a new energy automotive technology sharing platform can not only speed up the R&D process of new energy vehicles, promote the core technologies of new energy vehicles from the technical level to the industrial level, but also reduce the pressure on companies' capital investment and avoid related companies in the new Potential risks that may arise in the exploration of different energy pathways.
