New energy vehicle raw materials soar How the national industry is coping

While seeing the achievements, the development of the automotive industry is still facing some new challenges. For example, the industrial chain, the industrial chain of security issues, "the pain point of the automotive industry around the world last year is the supply of chips."

Wan Gang bluntly said that the supply chain side of the problem encountered, is the rapid growth of battery material prices, "especially since the second half of last year has deviated from the growth of supply and demand, resulting in an abnormal growth, such as lithium carbonate can actually grow 10 times in the last year."

"Now facing the new problem of rising prices of upstream raw materials. Hoarding of ill-gotten gains to combat, but the trend of rising international bulk raw material prices who can not be stopped."

Miao Wei said that the current battery factories generally increase prices, the whole car began to have a trend of price increases. If the price of upstream raw materials can not be controlled, it is bound to be transmitted to the middle and lower reaches.

In the view of Xiang Libin, the recent sharp rise in the price of lithium, nickel and other metal raw materials, "lack of core" phenomenon is still plagued by automotive enterprises, these market-oriented process must step over the hurdle, requiring us to science and technology innovation to answer.

"The current power battery raw material price increase needs to be highly concerned, serious research to solve the problem." Xin Guobin revealed that moderately accelerate the progress of domestic resource development and resolutely combat hoarding, speculation and other unfair competition.

Guide the industry chain upstream and downstream enterprises to strengthen collaboration and common development, and promote the return of key raw material prices to rational.

Lin Nianxiu pointed out that it is necessary to consolidate the technological and industrial advantages of lithium-ion batteries, accelerate the development of new battery technologies such as sodium-ion, solid-state batteries and fuel cells, and promote the diversification of battery technologies and materials.

Build and improve the power battery recycling system, and effectively alleviate the contradiction in the supply of rare and scarce metal resources.

Breakthrough bottleneck technology "unveil the list to hang" to support enterprises to tackle the problem

"The financial subsidies for new energy vehicles will be completely withdrawn after 2022, by which time, new energy vehicles will basically stand on the same starting line with fuel vehicles." Xiang Libin reminded that in the competition with fuel cars, new energy vehicles need to further increase technological innovation, constantly improve product performance, reduce costs and improve the convenience of use.

According to Xiang Libin, the market-oriented stage of new energy vehicle science and technology innovation, to adhere to the market-led, government-led, the market can be completed independently to the market, the government more support for basic frontier and common key technology research and development.

"Persistently strengthen basic research. Forward-looking layout of key core technologies such as all-solid-state batteries, new generation of electric drive systems based on new materials and new devices to shape the core competitiveness of future industrial development."

According to Xiang Libin, for technology directions that are not visible, multiple technology routes are supported to advance in parallel and multi-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary cross-fertilisation innovation is encouraged.

Talking about how to break through the bottleneck technology that restricts the development of the industry, Xiang Libin introduced the use of "unveiling the list to hang" and other ways to support the relevant enterprises to develop high safety, all-climate power battery system technology, carry out cobalt-free power battery, low weight rare earth permanent magnet material drive motor and other technology research.

In addition, it will also accelerate the construction of innovation platforms such as national key laboratories and national technology innovation centres in the field of new energy vehicles; strengthen hydrogen energy technology research and demonstration applications such as green production, safe storage and efficient transmission and distribution of hydrogen energy, and support the industrial development of fuel cell vehicles, etc.

The integrated layout is an objective requirement for the high-quality development of the new energy vehicle industry. "Adhering to the national chessboard, efforts will be made to optimize the industrial layout." Lin Nianxiu revealed that the focus will be on creating internationally competitive industrial clusters in regions such as the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta and Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei.

In addition, the research and development of key system components and basic common technologies for new energy vehicles and intelligent vehicles will be strengthened, and technological innovation in vehicle integration will be enhanced; risk monitoring and research in the field of new energy vehicles will be strengthened, and timely warnings will be provided and properly resolved.
