Yang Xuchun: Creating a New Chain of Energy Innovation Mechanism for New Energy Vehicles

——Interview with Yang Xuchun, Standing Committee Member of Xiangyang Municipal Committee of Hubei Province In recent years, Xiangyang City, Hubei Province has focused on the development of new energy automobile industry as a strategic emerging industry in the city, and initially formed a full chain innovation mechanism for the new energy automobile industry. In response, the reporter interviewed Fuyang. City Standing Committee member Yang Xuchun.

Reporter: Why did Xiangyang City develop a new energy vehicle development strategy?

Yang Xuchun: Xinyang chose the new energy automotive industry as a strategic city-based industry. It is based on the existing automotive industry foundation in Shenyang and its pre-judgment for future development. The real automobile industry foundation provides a good platform and external environment for the development of the new energy automobile industry. Located in the middle section of the Hubei Automobile Corridor (Wuhan-Fuyang-Shiyan), Xiangyang is an important production base of Dongfeng Motor, a national automotive power and component manufacturing base, and a special vehicle production base of Beiqi Foton. At present, there are more than 300 automobiles and parts enterprises in the city. In 2011, the total industrial output value was 133.88 billion yuan, accounting for 50% of the city's total industrial output value. It has become an important domestic automobile and parts production base.

Reporter: How did Xiangyang implement the all-chain innovation and development of new energy vehicles?

Yang Xuchun: In the development strategy of the new energy automobile industry in Xiangyang City, not only starting from a single aspect, but fully utilizing the cohesive force of the government to form the technology research and development, trial production, manufacturing, and industrial park planning for the entire vehicle and core components of new energy vehicles. , inspection and inspection, government procurement, demonstration operations, tax incentives, supporting facilities, financial services, human resources, policy support and other industrial chain processes.

After market leadership and government guidance, currently there are 15 enterprises and institutes for research, development, and production of new energy vehicles in Shenyang, and the industrial chain construction and resource allocation tend to be scientific and rational, forming a complete vehicle (pure electric, plug-in hybrid bus Passenger cars, municipal sanitation trucks and other electric commercial vehicles) - State-owned Qingshan battery, high-tech Castle Peak batteries, camel batteries - Yuqing drive motors, drive systems, controllers - accessories and other industrial chain. It is worth mentioning that the city's new energy automotive industry is characterized by independent research and development, independent innovation brand, related companies not only in the domestic and even international technology leading edge, but also has 100% independent intellectual property rights, the formation of the development of new energy in Liyang City The driving force of the automotive industry.

At the same time, through the support of the whole chain innovation strategy, the market and the government are linked. Currently, Shenyang has formed a “two vertical and three horizontal” industrial pattern, and has been awarded the pilot cities and new industries (new energy automobile industry) for new energy vehicles. The demonstration base and the National Power Battery Product Quality Supervision and Inspection Center are the only cities in the country that have both dual demonstration tasks and have national-level power battery product quality inspection centers. This has laid a policy support for the city's comprehensive development of the energy automotive industry. Good foundation for platform construction, product and market development.

Reporter: What is the enlightenment of Liyang City in the process of building a full-chain innovation mechanism for new energy vehicles?

Yang Xuchun: Independent innovation must give full play to its own advantages to implement innovation, and concentrate resources to achieve innovation at key points. To carry out strategic thinking, we must take all factors into consideration. However, we must grasp the main contradiction and determine the strategic focus. As a prefecture-level city, Xiangyang City sees its own advantages in the selection of independent innovation industries, and sees the most potential for innovation and the realization of industrial transformation. It has left the existing automobile industry and the new energy automobile industry cannot have a formation strategy. The foundation of the industry.

Independent innovation must fully estimate its own strength and transform “he main innovation” into “independent innovation capability”. Local level or county level or some enterprises, it is very difficult to truly influential technological innovation, mainly based on basic research and development conditions, capital and talent, etc. Therefore, for these counties and cities, do not rule out In a few enterprises and a few technological fields, the more realistic choice is: do a good job of importing, digesting, absorbing, and re-innovating. After a number of national research institutions, universities, and other research and development achievements have been selected and analyzed, the most It is possible to realize the technology of industrial transformation and support it. In recent years, Fuyang has paid great attention to the combination of production, education and research with respect to science and technology funds and industrial funds. It has extensively collected outside patent information and technological transformation achievements, and at the same time widely collected technical problems encountered by enterprises in the city and enterprises’ demands for technological transformation, and promoted this. With the combination of the two, the city established an expert service center for academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Independent innovation must also focus on the establishment of a full-chain innovation alliance between the government and the industry. Relying on a single company alone, it is difficult to achieve breakthroughs in independent innovation. Rely on government, research institutions, and many companies to form R&D alliances covering the whole industry chain. The government funds start-up funds, and companies invest in follow-up funds for large-scale, group-based R&D activities. Through sustained capital investment to support research and development R & D, so that the industry-university research and development alliance to gradually grow, form a R & D cluster to carry out strategic thinking, in order to achieve "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts" effect.
