From October 18th on, the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China was formally held. In the report of the 19th National Congress, General Secretary Xi Jinping announced to the world that China has entered the final victory, built a well-off society in an all-round way, and further built a modern socialist country. New era. As a pillar industry of the national economy, the Chinese automobile industry has also ushered in a new era. How will the car dealers respond to the opportunities and challenges of the new era?

As the 19th representative of the automotive industry, Xu Heyi, chairman of BAIC Group, believes that since the 18th National Congress of the People's Republic of China, the development of the automobile industry in China has experienced gold for five years . During the five years, “in the automotive industry, China has become a The world’s largest auto-producing and marketing country, its own brand market share has exceeded 50%, China has become the world's largest market for new energy vehicles for two years in a row, and the level of the entire new energy vehicle is currently at the international advanced level”, looking at the car as a whole The industry's overall strength, industrial restructuring, and supporting capabilities for parts and components industries have made considerable progress.

It is true that the achievements of the automotive industry in recent years are obvious to all. In 2016, China’s auto production and sales volume exceeded 26 million, of which the Chinese brand passenger car market has gradually expanded. In the 2017 auto market, we have seen Geely, Chang’an, and Great Wall. The growth of a number of self-owned brands, such as Guangzhou Automobile and Guangzhou Auto, has already been successfully selected by 2017 Chinese auto companies this year for the Fortune 500 “Global 500”. In addition to the growth of the scale of the Chinese auto industry, the gap between the quality and the joint-venture brands has also narrowed. President Xi Jinping mentioned in the report of the Nineteenth National Congress that China’s economy has shifted from a high-speed growth stage to a high-quality development stage. It is urgent to build a modern economic system that is changing the development mode, optimizing the economic structure, and transforming the growth momentum. Requirements and strategic objectives for China's development, therefore, for the automotive industry, the transition from a big automobile country to a powerful automobile country must take the path of high quality development, and attach importance to strengthening the independent innovation capability and the development of independent brands. This is the Chinese automotive industry’s Lifeline is.

In the new era, China's auto industry will surely usher in a transformation and upgrading. New energy vehicles are one of the windows of transformation and upgrading, and China has already acquired certain leading power in the development of new energy vehicles. In 2016, the sales volume of new energy vehicles in China was 507,000, which was 39.6 times that of 2012's 12,800. China's first-mover advantage in the field of new energy vehicles has been highlighted. Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Party Secretary and Minister Miao Wei said that in the development of new energy vehicles last year, there was a small number of corporate drilling policy loopholes in the fraud, we have already investigated and dealt with five automobile manufacturing companies. At the same time, the subsidy policy was revised and improved. Together with the end of last year, the financial subsidy policy retreated, and some time after the retreat did have some impact on the development of new energy vehicles. But fraudulently supplementing is a small part of the company's illegal behavior, most companies are still good.

At the 19th Press Conference, Party Secretary and Minister Miao Wei of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (China) and Xu Heyi (right fifth), Chairman of BAIC Group, interviewed by reporters

Miao Wei pointed out that after the policy adjustment last year, production and sales volumes at the end of the year have surged dramatically, and fell sharply at the beginning of this year. However, by the third quarter, China's new energy vehicles have returned to normal development stage. The cumulative production and sales volume in the first nine months of the year have increased by more than 30% compared with the same period of last year. Now we have a monthly production and sales scale of nearly 80,000 units. If no accident occurs, this year The end of the year may be about 30% growth in production and sales volume compared to last year.

China’s support for new energy vehicles is rare throughout the world. Policy support has not only spawned a large number of new energy manufacturing vehicles but also attracted enthusiastic participation from global car companies. It provides a market with great prospects. On the other hand, it also forces foreign companies to follow the rules of the Chinese market. This, to a certain extent, stimulates the diversification of the market and consolidates the position of China's own brand new energy vehicles. Xu Heyi believes that in terms of strategy and action, we should pay great attention to the development of new energy vehicles, rather than putting on a shelf, we must focus on the development of the new energy automobile industry. This is the future of Chinese auto companies, and he proposed: By 2035, China's own brand of new energy vehicles will surely rank among the top echelons in the world . Miao Wei also said, “Next, we must pay close attention to the development of this (new energy) industry and adopt various effective measures to support the development of this industry. On September 28, we just announced the double-point management method. This is Specific policies and measures to support the development of new energy vehicles."

In the 19th National Party Congress, the "One Belt, One Road" and "full opening up" are also closely related to the automobile industry. According to the data, in 2016, the export of Chinese auto vehicles totaled 800,000, an increase of 7.2% year-on-year. It is expected that China's vehicle exports will return to one million vehicles this year. Along with the implementation of the “One Belt and One Road” strategy, Chinese auto companies have deployed overseas markets in all directions and began to enter the European and American advanced countries. They have entered a new stage of strategic transformation with capital, technology, and exports, and have accelerated investment and construction abroad. This fully demonstrates that Chinese auto brands have been increasingly valued abroad and their brand influence has also been greatly improved. With the continuous advancement of the “Belt and Road” strategy, the distribution of Chinese brands along the route will gradually deepen, and the influence of China’s auto industry will also be further expanded. "Fully open" is also a general trend. Of course, the premise of "opening up" is not harming its own legitimate interests. From this point of view, it is expected that the number of joint venture shares will be more open than expected.

Facing the changes in a series of industries such as “high quality development”, “supply-side reform”, “innovation lead”, “transportation power” and “green development” in the new era, Xu Heyi stated that “we have to increase our research and development and sales. That is, the development of both ends of the effort, increase the proportion of high-tech and high-value-added products, increase the development of new energy vehicles, and adjust the traditional fuel machine. We have accumulated over the past several decades from the production of fuel trucks. Experience, strength, etc. Similarly, our own brand of new energy is not lost to whom, we have such a spirit, we have such ability"! Jiang Jinhuai, chairman of JAC, said that to achieve such a goal, as part of the real economy, we must strive to improve product quality and improve economic efficiency. For Jianghuai Automobile, it is necessary to follow the established work plan and promote structural adjustment, project construction, new product research and development, joint ventures and cooperation, and continue to maintain the “upward” operating status, and strive to grasp the initiative of development.
