The Beijing auto show at the end of the April 29, electric cars become auto show "darling". Volkswagen group launched the audi a3e - tron and mass golfgte two plug-in hybrid car, byd launched a joint venture with Daimler manufacturer "teng potential" pure electric vehicles. At the show the domestic independent brand new energy vehicles also steal the show. Lotus l3nev e20 conformity tai, the young man, then to suv byd "tang", have been widely focused on.

On May 5, China's auto industry, the highest level of the third party think-tank organization "China electric vehicle c)" (hereinafter referred to as "the committee") was formally established in Beijing. "" c" is to promote the development of electric vehicles as the goal, violates the discipline ownership and the department of industry, building a through research and exchanges, to promote electric vehicles and related materials, manufacturing, information and other disciplines, and urban planning, energy supply, transportation, and multidisciplinary integration of informationization, the development of collaborative innovation BBS." Under the state council development research center, deputy director of the former party secretary, director of the committee of ni weidou, held in 5, from tsinghua university "China electric car c" founding conference and the key work conference in 2014, made a clear definition to the organization.

In addition to the faw group chairman Xu Jianyi, saic group chairman hu maoyuan, chairman of chery Yin yue, geely chairman li shufu, byd chairman wang chuanfu, wanxiang group, chairman of Mr Lu, etc., and even the domestic low-speed electric car leading the general manager of shandong wind Liu Chengjiang, chairman of national grid, at the same time him, China unicom chairman chang xiaobing, digital China holdings co., LTD., chairman of the board Guo Wei also on the list of "c", etc.

Global China electric vehicles

After the closing of the Beijing auto show, the battle for the Chinese electric vehicle market has opened a battle. Global more than 100 car companies, 1134 vehicles, including 118 world debut chariots, again break record of Beijing auto show, new energy vehicles as up to 79, accounts for two-thirds, and represented by byd teng potential and the BMW i3 electric vehicles in the two listed to further promote the process of China's electric car commercial.

Volkswagen group members of the board of directors. The man said in Beijing auto show, Volkswagen pure electric car e - up! To sell in China in the second half of the year, starting in 2016, Volkswagen will in mainland China production of electric vehicles, including the audi a6 and a new c-class Volkswagen brand, focus on plug-in hybrid vehicles.

Competition is not only limited in automobile enterprise. Chinese electric vehicle market strong, let some components for multinational company began to shift to electric car business. Electric vehicle "SanDian (battery, motor and electric control)", Bosch is a layout in China, the domestic most of the new energy vehicles carrying Bosch motor has in its China united electronics for domestic enterprises, at the same time Bosch is base of research and development team in suzhou for two key products research and development and production: automotive battery pack and the new energy automobile energy recovery system.

Delphi a lot of research and development of new energy vehicles is now shifting from Europe and the United States to China, the nissan leaf upgrading products, all electrical appliances product structure framework, including high voltage charging, quick charging electric products, now are made by Delphi in China more than 3000 engineers in r&d.

In fact, the public experience on the development strategy of electric vehicle hesitation period, from last year before gradually clear and firm will develop electric vehicles as a core. "The public and the more radical BMW in electric cars, once the technology after awakening, their ability to integrate resources, together with the basis of a conventional car, this advantage is it's hard to match." "C" academic committee member, China automotive engineering society of pay in wu told reporters that China's electric car industry cross-border joint should be more.

The Beijing auto show, on April 19, Beijing automotive group was established in the new energy automobile co., shortly after, announced a joint venture with Siemens company - Beijing Siemens car electric drive system co., LTD., will produce high efficiency motor and inverter, carry on pure electric and hybrid vehicles, implement production plan 2015.

"The depth of traditional car needs international cooperation, even so is the electric car, not behind closed doors to build electric cars, tesla's biggest enlightenment is integration, on the electric car, we should also have the ability to integrate international resources." Pay in wu stressed.

Electric car costs become critical

Electric commercial war has begun, and business model innovation and technological innovation for the moment in the equally important position, but with technological innovation at the same time, the rationality of the cost of electric vehicles become the key.

"C" academic committee member, ministry of science and technology, the electric car key projects supervision team Wang Binggang thinks, "plug-in or pure electric car production technology is not a problem, like the tesla roadster, the performance of our technology could also be achieved. Electric vehicles will become the mainstream of the auto industry product, the key is the rationality of the cost."

Vw hopes through its MQB modular platform plug-in hybrid electric vehicle mass production purpose is to reduce the cost. In the new energy vehicle localization and reduce the cost of the problem, the public's old rival Toyota also have substantial progress. In 2015, carrying changshu local production of hybrid technology in China, including domestic battery, domestic CVT hybrid variable speed drive axle, and domestic inverter) new corolla and LeiLing will be listed.

The plug-in version of the prius in Japan at present the price and the prius hybrid high-end configuration. "From the prius hybrid to the plug-in version of the prius, with lithium electricity price could control at this level, is based on the mass production of the prius, under the premise of production how important it is for new energy vehicles, only in this way can you go down, will go a little easier." Toyota China minister liu peng told reporters that at present the Toyota in the global hybrid sales of more than 6.4 million.

Electric vehicles to reduce costs, the first is to reduce battery costs, another is to realize the mass production. "Material itself continuously improve r&d unit stored energy cost reduction, the same material to store more energy, the cost will drop accordingly. The other is the battery mass production and mass production of the car, the battery research and development cost is very expensive. After the increase in the number, the r&d investment in the early will cancel out." Wang Binggang told reporters.

YiBoBin Delphi global vice President and Wang Binggang idea coincides with mine, "electric vehicle technology problem has been solved to a certain extent, the key is the issue of cost, market what to withstand a price of product is very important."

Asia-pacific region and the world's largest supplier Bosch group CEO terry to the auto show in Beijing, said the future of the cost of the battery to solve first, aim for a 50% reduction of the cost of Bosch in the next few years, double the energy efficiency at the same time.

Science and technology minister wan gang in the establishment of the "c" 5, said in the conference in terms of battery, domestic technology and the gap in the world is not big, but the next step will continue to strengthen stability of raw materials and battery consistency and standardization of research and development, making material, cells, modules to form a industrial chain. Based on basic research, key "next to a bigger breakthrough, to increase the energy density is about 50% in 2020, again to lower the price of the battery, and have a better quality assurance." Wan gang emphasis.

Wang Binggang finally tells a reporter, the public's strategy of "platform" can be used plug-in cars, the future will also apply to pure electric vehicles and battery production.

"We are also promoting cell modular, standardization development, some car needs 15 modules, some need 20 module, factory production of modules are the same, so you can mass production, different cars can be a double module but number is different, it can be used to realize the needs of different vehicles, this is a kind of direction."
