Improve R&D and innovation capabilities
Power battery system, charging solution, hydrogen fuel storage & HELIP; … The reporter saw at the conference that from vehicle enterprises to parts enterprises, from information and communication enterprises to energy enterprises, the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain and collaborative industries are surging with innovation vitality.
"China has persistently tackled key core technologies of new energy vehicles, laid out the industrial chain around innovation chain, and relied on the industrial chain to strengthen innovation chain. The level of technology research and development and industrialization has been continuously improved, which has provided an important impetus for new energy vehicles to move towards full marketization." Chen Jiachang, Vice Minister of Science and Technology, said.
Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited’s Kirin battery technology, Horizon’s innovative intelligent computing architecture, BMW China’s high-performance hybrid drive system & HELIP; … The conference released the results of the 2023 "Global New Energy Vehicle Frontier and Innovative Technology", and 10 innovative technologies from industrial chain enterprises were selected. "These innovative technologies have been applied in mass production, effectively improving the technical level of new energy vehicles." Li Jun, honorary chairman of China Automotive Engineering Society and academician of China Academy of Engineering, said.
Wan Gang, President of China Association for Science and Technology and President of the World New Energy Vehicle Congress, said that under the development trend of electrification, intelligence and low carbon, it is necessary to promote the development of pure electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles and fuel cell vehicles as a whole, continue to strengthen the collaborative breakthrough of common key technologies such as power battery system, new chassis architecture and autonomous driving system, and accelerate the application of typical scenarios and the construction of new infrastructure for the integrated development of "vehicle, energy and Lu Yun".

Promote industrial synergy and integration
At present, new energy vehicles integrate artificial intelligence, big data and other revolutionary technologies, and the industrial chain and value chain continue to expand into the fields of transportation, energy, information and communication. Accelerating the construction of a new ecology of the automobile industry is not only the internal demand of industrial technological change, but also the source of power for the future development of the industry.
The reporter learned from the conference that Hainan Province, the venue of this conference, as the first province in China to explicitly put forward the "ban on the sale of fuel vehicles" in 2030, is continuing to expand the industrial chain of new energy vehicles, expand the global application market of new energy vehicles, and create an intelligent networked automobile development Hainan plan.
"We are promoting the pilot of intelligent networked car access and road traffic, building the first consumer intelligent transportation system in China and a global demonstration province for open car networking applications, and striving to make the tourist highway around the island an all-round open and rich scene ‘ Che neng Lu Yun ’ Demonstration road. " The main person in charge of the Hainan Provincial Party Committee said at the meeting.
With the continuous increase in the number of new energy vehicles, a large number of charging demands also bring challenges to the smooth operation of the power grid. Li Ming, deputy chief engineer of State Grid Co., Ltd., said that by deepening industry cooperation, promoting the introduction or improvement of charging peak-valley time-of-use electricity prices, strengthening iterative upgrading of key technologies and equipment, accelerating demonstration and verification of typical scenarios and large-scale application, orderly charging will be comprehensively promoted, and the integration and interaction between vehicles and networks will be accelerated to build a charging and replacing development model suitable for new power systems.
Building a cross-border integration ecology and promoting mutual empowerment and collaborative innovation of various business entities have become the consensus of the guests. The "Consensus of the 2023 World New Energy Vehicle Conference" issued by the conference proposes that all parties will strengthen cross-border collaboration in the transformation of innovation achievements and frontier demonstration applications. At the same time, around the typical scenes such as vehicle-energy interaction, vehicle-road integration, and Che Yun coordination, we will speed up the technical iterative research and accelerate the cross-industry and inter-departmental integration and development of automobiles, energy, transportation, information and communication.

Deep insight into user needs
The medium-sized and large-sized pure electric SUV with the price of 200,000 yuan is equipped with intelligent driving functions such as digital vision blind compensation and one-button AI driving. The pure electric sports car with the price of 300,000 yuan has both electric scissors doors and soft-top convertible & HELIP; … At the booth of SAIC in this conference, the new energy vehicles of independent brands of Roewe, Zhiji, MG and other enterprises made a concentrated appearance, attracting many visitors to ask questions.
"Building the vehicle products of inclusive users will help consumers better accept new energy vehicles, and also contribute to the iterative upgrading of new energy vehicle technology industry and the sustainable development of new energy vehicle enterprises." Zu Sijie, vice president and chief engineer of SAIC, said that Pratt & Whitney electric smart cars will drive the full marketization of new energy vehicles.
The reporter saw at the conference that the upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain actively identify the changes in demand side, and take closely following the needs of users as the top priority to broaden the market.
Deng Chenghao, vice president of Changan Automobile and CEO of Deep Blue Automobile, said that in recent years, the automobile market in China has developed rapidly towards electrification and intelligence, and the demand of users has also been upgraded from simple travel to digital partners in the whole scene. We must adhere to the principle of user choice as the primary principle of innovative products of enterprises, and respect the diversified needs of users in terms of energy supplement, safety and intelligence.
"What does the market need? Everyone hopes to support as many intelligent functions as possible with higher cost performance on the most mass-produced models. " Yang Yuxin, chief marketing officer of Black Sesame Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. believes that it is necessary to realize multi-functional support through product architecture innovation and help customers realize more intelligent function integration in one car.
Xin Guobin, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that China’s new energy vehicles have entered a critical stage of comprehensive market development, but there are still problems in industrial development, such as insufficient resource support capacity, unbalanced market development, and industrial layout to be optimized. Next, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will actively promote the innovative development of new energy and intelligent networked vehicles, further optimize industry management policies, create a first-class business environment, and continue to promote the high-quality development of the new energy automobile industry.
