Henan will become "electric car city" within five years

On the morning of January 1, the country’s largest pure electric vehicle manufacturing base was officially put into production in Lucheng County, Xuchang City, Henan Province. The first batch of 20 “Chinese brand” pure electric passenger cars invested by Henan Xinmei Electric Vehicle Co., Ltd. were rolled out. After that, they will be immediately delivered to the bus company in Xuchang City, and Xuchang City will also be the second-tier city in the Central Plains to use the “zero emission” bus first.

According to reports, the base covers an area of ​​6,000 mu and was put into operation on March 18, 2010. It has a total of six workshops and an annual production capacity of 20,000. The current base has completed the construction of a 160,000-square-meter factory area. According to Jia Bingcheng, Chairman of the Board of New Vision Electric Vehicle Co., Ltd., the company has mastered the mature pure electric vehicle technology, coupled with the unique "lightweight body" and the battery's long continuous driving ability, making the base electric vehicle produced the earliest With the conditions for mass production and commercialization. “Henan belongs to the hinterland of the Central Plains and has a large number of people, and its production and operation costs are relatively low. The radiation to the country centered on Henan will effectively regulate the sales, after-sales, and material procurement of the markets in the two major regions, North and South. The support of the government is inextricably linked with the development of pure electric buses.At present, the market price of a 'Chinese brand' electric bus is 1.3 million yuan, and the local government of Henan subsidizes 500,000 yuan, and the pilot city countries will subsidize 500,000 yuan. A car actually only costs 300,000 yuan."

The “Chinese brand” pure electric bus will be mainly sold to 25 pilot cities in Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen, as well as large and medium-sized cities in Henan, Shandong, and Hebei. According to the development goals of the company, Henan Xinmeijing will gradually complete the mass production of the main vehicle and the production of supporting industrial components such as the control system and drive system for the complete vehicle in the next 1 to 2 years; it will reach an annual output of 20,000 within 2 to 5 years. The production capacity of the vehicle is to complete the assembly line production of the related parts and components of the vehicle control system, drive system, and vehicle subsystem, and establish a high-tech park related to product optimization and improvement, technology research and development, etc. At that time, the company will form a set of technology, research and development, The production of a whole set of industrial chain, which is integrated in production, gradually completes sales revenue that exceeds 3 billion yuan in annual sales.

China’s support for new energy vehicles can be traced back to the national high-tech research and development plan, the 863 plan. In 2009, the four ministries and commissions of the Ministry of Science and Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the Ministry of Finance jointly launched the "Ten Cities Thousand Vehicles" program to carry out large-scale demonstration operations of new energy vehicles. The draft “Auto and New Energy Vehicle Industry Development Plan (2011-2020)” announced in August 2010 further clarified that in the next decade, the central government will invest 100 billion yuan to support the research and development of core technologies for energy-saving and new energy vehicles. And promotion. By 2020, the industrialization and market scale of China's new energy vehicles will reach the top in the world, and the number of new energy vehicles will reach 5 million.

Chen Qingquan, chairman of the World Electric Vehicle Association, said: "New energy vehicles will be market-oriented, and the initial stage of marketization requires public systems to intervene first. Only in this way can we promote the use of electric vehicles for personal use. The new beauty of Henan starts with the production of pure electric buses. The first phase of the development of new energy vehicles is a wise move."

It is understood that Henan Province has recently issued an electric vehicle industry development plan and plans to build an electric vehicle manufacturing center in the central region of China within five years. The main task of this plan, which has already been implemented, is to build Henan into an important R&D center for electric vehicles in China, a domestic first-class power battery production center, and an influential component production center. Henan Province will accelerate this goal by promoting the strategic restructuring of the province's new energy auto companies and domestic and foreign new energy automobile manufacturers to enhance their competitive advantages, increase research and development support, break through key technologies as soon as possible, and set up special funds for the industry. The realization.
