The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology clarifies the “double-integration approach”

Although various parties have different reflections, starting from 2018 on, the implementation of the "double-integration approach" for new energy vehicles has been a crucible.

On July 25, Zheng Lixin, Director of the Office of Operational Supervision and Coordination of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, stated at the press conference of the State Council Information Office that the method of parallel management of average fuel consumption and new energy points for passenger car companies is the double-credit method referred to as Recently in the State Council Legislative Affairs Office of the Chinese government legal system information network publicity, in the implementation of the release process, this integral approach will be officially released in the near future.

It is understood that the United States Automobile Policy Committee, the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association and the Korean Automobile Manufacturers Association four major automobile industry associations had previously sent a letter to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, hoping that the Chinese government delays or relaxes electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles. Quota plan. In response, Zheng Lixin also responded at the press conference. "We received the opinions of four industry associations during the 'double-integration approach' publicity period and we will do further research on this," said Zheng Lixin.

Zheng Lixin also stated that the double-integration approach is aimed at the actual situation of the development of new energy vehicles in China. Through this approach, we have established a long-term mechanism to promote the development of new energy vehicles, promote the research and development of new energy vehicles, and strengthen the energy conservation of automotive products. The management of emission reduction is also an internationally accepted practice. In this regard, we will also actively carry out international cooperation and work with the international community to promote the development of new energy vehicles in China. It will also create a good environment for the development of our traditional cars.

Previously, policy subsidies have always been an important driving force for the development of China's new energy automotive industry. However, starting from 2017, the subsidy quota for new energy vehicles will drop by 20%, and will no longer be subsidized after 2020, bringing about certain industry benefits. Impact, and the "double-integration approach" helps to reduce the impact of this effect.

It is understood that the “Dual-Integral Measures” has introduced annual proportions of new energy vehicle points for passenger car companies with annual production or import volume of conventional energy passenger vehicles in China exceeding 50,000. From 2018 to 2020, the proportion of new energy vehicles will be 8%, 10% and 12%, respectively. This means that car companies must produce and sell enough electric cars and plug-in hybrid models to accumulate points. According to public information, in the first half of 2017, the output of traditional passenger vehicles was 11.27 million; the production of new energy passenger vehicles was 212,000, and the cumulative sales reached 195,000, a cumulative increase of 14.4% over the same period last year.

For most Chinese auto companies, the "double-integration approach" is indeed a difficult problem. At the Shanghai Auto Show in 2017, there were concerned leaders of Chinese brands to express their concern about the integration policy, and some insiders thought that the integration policy was another blow to the development of some independent Chinese auto companies.

In response to the upcoming "double-integration approach", many Chinese car companies are also trying to respond positively. On July 18th, Geely Holding Group and Xi'an Municipal Government signed relevant agreements on the industrialization of new energy vehicles; Great Wall Motors, which was previously affected by excessive fuel consumption, also took a stake in New Energy Motors Co., Ltd. on July 16. , and launched the "Ultimate Great Wall" joint trademark, this move is also considered to be another way traditional car companies seek to reduce the average fuel consumption standards.
