Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, March 6th: Increase policy support, where will the new energy automobile industry 'drive' to?

The government work report submitted for deliberation on the 5th clearly continued to support the consumption of new energy vehicles, and put forward policies such as tax reduction and fee reduction, maintaining the safety and stability of industrial chain supply chain, and increasing support for the real economy including the new energy vehicle industry.

How to promote the high-quality development of new energy automobile industry? Policies help superimpose the market 'window', where will the new energy automobile industry 'drive'?

In 2021, the production and sales of new energy vehicles in China increased by 1.6 times year-on-year. Under the situation that the industrial economy is still facing great pressure, the new energy automobile industry is in a strong trend, which cannot be separated from the huge market support.

The report proposes to continue to support the consumption of new energy vehicles, releasing the signal of tapping the market potential.

The reporter learned from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is paying close attention to studying and clarifying the support policies such as the continuation of preferential tax on new energy vehicles, optimizing the 'double points' management method, stabilizing market expectations and supporting the consumption of new energy vehicles.

'China's new energy vehicle ownership ranks in the forefront of the world, with a complete industrial chain and competitive advantage.' Zeng Yuqun, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and chairman of Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., said that further supporting consumption and expanding the market 'cake' will help China continue to take the initiative in the market during the period of rapid growth of new energy automobile industry.

Just as important as expanding demand is the enhancement of stability and competitiveness of industrial chain supply chain.

'Strengthening the supply guarantee of raw materials, key components and so on' and 'Maintaining the safety and stability of industrial chain supply chain' are exactly what Zhu Huarong, deputy of National People's Congress and chairman of Changan Automobile, is concerned about.

'In order to enhance the stability of the supply chain of the industrial chain, Changan Automobile conducted a comprehensive investigation of the' home base', identified the weak links and risk points, and carried out strong chain replenishment actions.' He said that the synergy of the supply chain and key capabilities of core technologies in the automobile industry still need to be strengthened, and it is suggested that resources should be coordinated for key support.

Wu Wei, deputy to the National People's Congress and secretary of Liuzhou Municipal Committee of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, said that in recent years, Liuzhou has introduced a number of parts companies such as United Electronics and Guoxuan Hi-Tech to build the whole industrial chain of new energy vehicles, and the supporting capacity of new energy vehicles has been continuously improved. 'We will accelerate the construction of a number of parts and components projects, continuously improve the industrial agglomeration, and provide strong support for the high-quality development of the new energy automobile industry.'

Zeng Yuqun said that the report clearly enhanced the domestic resource production support capacity, accelerated the exploration and development of resources such as oil, gas and minerals, and injected confidence into power battery manufacturers.

The reporter learned from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology that in order to meet the production needs such as power batteries, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will work with relevant departments to resolutely crack down on unfair competition such as hoarding and driving up prices.

Many deputies suggested improving the comprehensive management mechanism of lithium battery production, sales, use, recycling and other life cycle resources.

'We should seize our country's advantages in battery technology and industrial chain, start the research on battery carbon footprint standards and methodology as soon as possible, and establish a product carbon emission management system.' Zeng Yuqun said.
