On August 27, 2022, Celes and CATL officially signed a contract during the conference. According to the agreement, in the next five years, the AITO Wenjie series models under Celes will be fully equipped with CATL power batteries; at the same time, the new Wenjie series models will also be fully equipped with Kirin batteries.
Zhang Xinghai, chairman of Celes Group, said that Celes will always adhere to the "three insistences" in the future: adhere to innovation-driven, to provide users with a different travel experience of smart electric vehicles; Strive for realization, let more people become car environmentalists; persist in commercial success, and build a car ecosystem with everything connected.
Open cooperation and ecological win-win are recognized by the industry as the best way to deal with the intelligent transformation of the automobile industry. Horizon, an artificial intelligence chip start-up company established in 2015, has grown rapidly from the first car-grade automotive smart chip developed by it in 2020 to the cooperation with more than 100 partners in just over 2 years, serving 20 There are more than 70 pre-installation projects in many car factories, and more than 1 million chips have been shipped.
"Driven by the 'new four modernizations', the auto industry is changing. Although smart cars are in a period of fierce competition, an open and cooperative ecological model is the new trend in the development of smart cars in the future." Chen Liming, President of Horizon, believes that with With this change, the relationship between OEMs and suppliers has undergone fundamental changes. Especially since 2020, the entire supply chain has changed from the traditional chain-like vertical model, and is moving from a chain to a network. It is more flat and forms a network-like collaborative relationship. In the future, Horizon will further open up to OEMs to meet the development needs of OEMs with a customized model, assist OEMs to shorten the development cycle, and improve the synergy and leadership of complete vehicles and chips.
Following the development trend of the automobile industry, promoting technological innovation, popularization and application, and infrastructure construction as a whole, the development of my country's new energy automobile industry has achieved positive results. Xin Guobin said that these achievements are due to the global cooperation in technological innovation and the international coordination of the industrial and supply chains. The automobile industry is a typical globalized industry, and maintaining the security and stability of the industrial chain and supply chain is the common responsibility of all countries. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will support the consensus of international innovation and global development, support enterprises from various countries to strengthen division of labor and efficient coordination, promote the integration of upstream and downstream industrial chains, promote the interconnection and efficient operation of resource elements and infrastructure, and improve the governance of global industrial and supply chains efficacy.
Broad prospects for future development
At the New Energy Vehicle Conference, leaders from all over the world and from all walks of life talked about the new energy vehicle industry, looked forward to the industry's prospects, and discussed the future-oriented innovative technology route.
Since the beginning of this year, my country's new energy vehicles have maintained a rapid development trend. From January to July, the production and sales of new energy vehicles in China reached 3.279 million and 3.194 million respectively, and the market share reached 22.1%. vehicles increased to 23.76 million. China has cultivated the largest consumer group of new energy vehicles, which has injected strong impetus into the development of new energy vehicles around the world.
Changes in the number of related companies also reveal the popularity of the industry. According to data from Tianyancha, as of August 29, there were approximately 585,000 new energy vehicle-related companies across the country, of which 138,000 were newly registered from January to July, with an average growth rate of 42.5%.
The prospect of new energy vehicles is widely optimistic. "The penetration rate of new energy vehicles in my country is growing very fast, which also means that this emerging industry is entering the accelerated growth zone from the bottom of the S-shaped curve, and the future growth may maintain a higher speed." Wang Xiaoming said.
Zeng Yuqun believes that over the past ten years, the new energy vehicle industry has experienced the early budding to the current vigorous development, and is currently accelerating towards a new stage of comprehensive electrification.
While the new energy automobile industry is booming, the future sustainable development path and technical route are also attracting attention. Chen Hong, chairman of SAIC Motor, believes that it took less than 20 years for my country's new energy vehicles to go from zero to the forefront of the world, which is largely due to the country's powerful and effective top-level design. Continued guidance for national industrial development is needed. Chen Hong called for the release of a roadmap for the low-carbon development of the auto industry as soon as possible, and further clarification of the timetable, implementation path, and accounting boundaries for the auto industry to achieve the dual-carbon goals.
"Electric vehicles have entered a mature and stable second half from a subversive and leapfrogging first half." Dong Yang, chairman of the China Automotive Power Battery Industry Innovation Alliance, said that in the future, on the one hand, we must further refine the technology and establish a good Industrial ecology; on the other hand, it is necessary to make electric vehicles more usable through technology. He suggested that the development of the new energy automobile industry should be planned scientifically, and relevant industrial policies should be continuously improved. The new energy automobile industry also needs to have new plans to promote new technologies to be better, but it cannot be expected that new technologies must subvert old technologies. It needs to enter a stable production period and develop the industry well under the condition of a win-win industrial chain.
