Can autos run only having "drunk oils"? Within a long run since autos were born, it is a proposition that only a few persons would think. However, with the continuous increase of the dual pressures in terms of resources and environment, more and more persons began to seek alternative energy for autos, and such types as hybrid autos, pure electrical autos, fuel cell electric autos and hydrogen autos were invented successively. The concept of new-energy autos is slowly filtering into people's mind.
In China, developing new-energy autos, which is just in the initial phase worldwide, has always been considered as a rare opportunity to chase for the world-class auto manufacture level. In 2006, such auto corporations as FAW, Dongfeng, Changan and Chery have developed hybrid auto samples successively. And during the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the new-energy autos have approached to more citizens. In the adjustment and revitalization program for auto industry issued as early as the beginning of the new year, supporting new-energy auto development has been revealed more definitely. We can say the new-energy autos are speeding up in the way to common people's life.
In the end of 2008 and the beginning of 2009, China's auto industry has kind of jollification. BYD F3DM dual-mode electric autos launched into markets, the first new-energy auto industrial base settled in Beijing, "thousands of electric autos in ten cities" start-up ceremony was held, Hafei Saibao electric autos developed for two years were completed, Chery A5BSG hybrid electric autos announced launching into markets...
It is not difficult to find that in all of these news events there is a key concept---new energy, which has presented in people's eyes so concentratively in a short term, making people have a feeling that new-energy autos are speeding up towards common people's life.
The just-issued adjustment and revitalization program for auto industry has definitely proposed that "The strategy of new-energy autos shall be implemented. Promote the industrialization of electric autos and related key parts and components. Central financing departments shall arrange subsidy to support energy conservation and new-energy auto's demonstration and promotion in big and middle cities." Insiders believe that it must accelerate the industrialization course of new-energy autos. For China's auto industry, it means new development opportunities.
Demands speed up the acceleration.
By the end of 2008, China's vehicle population has reached over 169 million sets, up more than 10.11 million sets. Viewing the whole world, the increasing trend of vehicle population has been irreversible, which has been accompanied by the increasing resource pressure.
Autos can facilitate people's lives; however, the environmental pollution is also a problem that autos can not retreat from. Statistics show that CO2 emitted by autos take up about 20 percent of the total emission volume by human beings, and the demand for favorable life environment makes people have harsher and harsher requirement on auto emission: not long ago, Shanghai announced that GUO IV emission standard would be implemented in advance on November 1 this year; in Europe, the CO2 emission will be limited within 130 g/km by 2012.
The situation of excessive autos and oil shortage, and more serious emission standards lead to people's increasing demand for new-energy autos. All auto enterprises worldwide have focused on the field of new-energy autos, and expedited the industrialization successively.
The first batch hybrid autos named Prius with mass production in the world were born in Japan's Toyota Motor Corporation, which have the sales volume of over 1 million sets since their launch into international market, and such Japanese auto enterprises as Honda and Nissan also accelerated the promotion of new-energy autos, shaping up a competitive situation. And U.S.A.'s auto industry affected by financial crisis has also made adjustment recently, that is, inputting more zest on new-energy autos, which was shown evidently in the latest North American Auto Show; GM brought the updated concept autos with electric technologies, Ford announced that they would develop hybrid autos and plug-in hybrid autos vigorously in next four years, Chrysler also planned to launch four types of electric autos before 2013 and put forward such a plan that selling 500 thousand electric autos within 5 years.
European, American and Japanese auto enterprises have taken action actively. They show their strength and potential in the field of new-energy autos depending on their several-year accumulated strong basis. For Chinese auto industry with a later start-up, new-energy autos have always being considered as a rare opportunity to chase for the world-class auto manufacture level by insiders. The severity extent of the future competition has been faintly visible, and there is no doubt that Chinese auto enterprises will expedite the industrialization of new-energy autos.
Eligible technologies are basic.
In the past few years, such three types of new-energy complete autos as electric, hybrid and fuel cell autos were born successively. And in the long course of marching towards industrialization and moving towards markets, there is no doubt that hybrid autos took the lead. In 2008, such hybrid autos as Chery's A5 and FAW's Besturn, and such multiple hybrid passenger vehicles from Dongfeng Motor Corporation, Beiqi Futian and Chongqing Changan Automobile Co., Ltd, all of them have been listed in the Vehicle Production Enterprises and Product Bulletin issued by governments and obtained the permission to have batch production.
During the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and Paralympic Games, the new-energy autos embrace the chance to accept examination. Such auto enterprises as Changan, Chery, FAW, Dongfeng and Futian united Tsinghua University, Tongji University and Beijing Institute of Technology and provided self-developed 598 sets of various new-energy autos. Having been successfully applied during the Olympic Games, the technological maturity on these new-energy autos has been tested further, which has made a preparation for their launching into market indeed.
"The year of 2008 can be considered as a testing year for new-energy autos. I believe that this year will embrace an expedition year for industrialization", said Wang Hewu. In the very beginning of 2008, Chery announced A5 hybrid autos' coming into the market, which can be regarded as the beginning of new-energy autos' marching into market in the new year.
In 2009, accompanied with various favorable conditions, China's new energy autos will meet the novel opportunity to accelerate the development of industrialization.
