Accelerate the transformation and upgrading in the "climbing over the ridge", and the high-quality development of new energy vehicle industry can be expected in the future

-TUV Nande builds a new energy industry testing center in Guangzhou

Guangzhou, May 11, 2020 / AP / -- with the domestic epidemic being effectively controlled step by step, the depressed automobile production and marketing market has rebounded steadily recently and began to show signs of recovery. In early April, the Industrial Development Department of the national development and Reform Commission said that China's daily automobile production has gradually recovered to more than 75% of the level in the same period last year, and dealer orders have recovered to more than 65% of the normal level, forming a strong support for the supply chain of the global automobile industry.

Under the impact of the epidemic, the sales of new energy vehicles in the first quarter of this year decreased by 56.4% year-on-year. However, with the recent extension of subsidy support policies and the release of good news such as the charging pile of new energy vehicles powered by new infrastructure, new energy vehicles have gradually returned to the track of high-quality development and promoted orderly in the coexistence of opportunities and challenges.

The subsidy will decline slightly, and the market orientation will promote technological progress and market maturity

In the past decade, China's new energy vehicles have made significant development, and the demonstration application of national fiscal and tax subsidies has played a very positive role. Since 2015, China's production and sales of new energy vehicles have surpassed the United States for four consecutive years, accounting for half of the global production and sales. During this period, a large number of new car building forces poured into the new energy vehicle industry.

However, affected by the decline of government subsidies, the growth rate of China's new energy vehicle market declined in 2019. Beginning this year, the sudden overspread of COVID-19 epidemic and the fall in global oil prices have caused a shock to China's new energy automotive industry, which is in a critical period of "climbing over the ridge". The downward pressure has further increased.

Fortunately, with the strong promotion of supporting policies and the efforts of automobile enterprises, China's automobile industry has fully resumed work and production, and the pace of industrial transformation and upgrading is accelerating. On April 23, several ministries and commissions jointly issued the notice on improving the financial subsidy policy for the promotion and application of new energy vehicles, which extended the implementation period of the financial subsidy policy for the promotion and application of new energy vehicles to the end of 2022 by integrating factors such as technological progress and scale effect. With the support of the mild decline in subsidies, the steady development of the new energy vehicle industry has also added a guarantee.

However, the subsidy policy will eventually withdraw and eventually return to the real market orientation, which requires continuous promotion of technological progress and market maturity, so that new energy vehicles can finally be recognized by more and more consumers. "The automobile industry with more than 30 years of development and accumulation has suffered some impact in the short term, but it will pick up in the long term, especially the future of new energy vehicles." Ouyang qiangyou, general manager of TUV Nande new energy testing (Guangdong) Co., Ltd., pointed out that with the maturity of technology and market, new energy vehicles have been recognized by more and more consumers, The long-term trend is still good as a whole, and the development of new energy vehicle industry is irreversible.

Quality and safety are highly valued, and international third-party testing and certification institutions accelerate the layout of the Chinese market

Automobile is a high-value durable goods, involving personal and property safety. Automobile enterprises must establish scientific and rigorous processes and systems to ensure the quality and safety of automobiles. In the field of new energy vehicles, the safety of electric vehicles will determine the success or failure of the whole industry.

In recent years, with the industry's increasing attention to vehicle quality and safety, new energy vehicle manufacturing enterprises have carried out repeated testing, demonstration and strict control from the source of R & D and design. Many world-famous automobile manufacturers have chosen to establish cooperation with third-party testing and certification institutions, and strictly control the battery cells, batteries and batteries in accordance with enterprise standards in the development and design process of each power battery The module and battery pack shall be tested and evaluated in an all-round way to ensure that the designed and manufactured battery system is of high quality, safe and reliable.

Recently, TUV Nande announced that its Guangzhou new energy industry test center will open at the end of 2020 to provide all-round test and evaluation services for the development of emerging strategic industries such as smart energy, intelligent transportation and intelligent manufacturing. Previously, TUV Nande has established a battery laboratory in Shenzhen in 2012 and officially opened Changzhou new energy vehicle testing laboratory in November last year. So far, over the past decade, t ü v South Germany has successively established ten new energy vehicle and power battery testing laboratories in Germany, the United States, Canada, Japan, South Korea, China and other countries around the world.

The test center in Guangzhou has a total construction area of more than 15000 square meters. In the first phase, in addition to the new energy vehicle power battery test laboratory and EMC test laboratory, there are also intelligent manufacturing and test laboratory and intelligent energy. As the first laboratory in China to be recognized by dakks and the only laboratory in China with the qualification of German medium and high voltage grid connection test (FGW TR3) and model simulation verification (FGW TR4), the test center has obtained the qualification of test recognition in most parts of the world. In the future, it will further expand the test capacity and scope to cope with the complexity of national and international standard systems, The test equipment is mainly purchased from foreign industries with high precision and large range to meet its compliance requirements.

It is reported that the smart energy and smart manufacturing test center built this time is located in Tsinghua Science and Technology Park, Panyu District, Guangzhou. It will be put into operation in June 2020. At that time, it will further meet the R & D and testing of new energy enterprises, industrial product R & D and production enterprises, new energy vehicle enterprises, power batteries and battery parts manufacturers in Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macao and even the whole country Quality assessment and export certification requirements, comprehensively improve the industry quality and product safety of China's strategic emerging industries, and improve the competitive advantage of products in domestic and foreign markets.

The effect of energy conservation and emission reduction needs to be highlighted. The "new infrastructure" brings opportunities for the transformation and upgrading of the automobile industry

For China, the development of new energy vehicles is not only to deal with the three challenges of environmental pollution, climate warming and energy shortage, but also the only way for China to move from a big automobile country to a powerful automobile country. New energy vehicles, which represent the development direction of the automobile industry, are also a breakthrough for China to promote the transformation and upgrading of the automobile industry.

In fact, all along, the effectiveness of new energy vehicles in energy conservation and emission reduction is not outstanding. Although electric vehicles do not have carbon emissions during driving, some of their power generation processes still rely on fossil energy and produce carbon emissions. In the future, promoting the coordinated development of electric vehicles and renewable energy and enhancing the power storage capacity of the power grid will become an important direction for new energy vehicles to highlight the effect of energy conservation and emission reduction.

In 2020, the "new infrastructure" aimed at building key infrastructure in the digital economy era and promoting the digital transformation of economy and society has become a new national strategy. Its seven fields, including 5g network, UHV, new energy vehicle charging pile, big data center, artificial intelligence and industrial Internet, are closely related to the automotive industry. The rise of "new infrastructure" has brought new opportunities for the transformation and upgrading of the automobile industry. In particular, the charging pile of new energy vehicles has been officially included in the "new infrastructure", which will make up for the shortage of charging infrastructure and become an important driving force for the development of new energy automobile industry.

The establishment of TUV Nande Guangzhou new energy industry testing center is not only an important part of its 2025 strategy, but also marks the re implementation and promotion of the development plan of TUV Nande China new energy vehicle testing laboratory, and continues to contribute to the orderly and healthy development of China's new energy vehicle industry.
