Electric Vehicle R&D Project "National Team" Sets a Budget of 1.3 Billion Yuan

The “national team” for the electric vehicle R&D project was established. Yesterday, the SASAC held the inaugural meeting of the Central Electric Vehicle Industry Alliance in Beijing. Li Rongrong, the director of the SASAC, stated that it will allocate 1.3 billion yuan to the budget of state-owned capital operation in 2010 to support the commonality of electric vehicles. The construction of a technology platform will be supported in the coming years.

The Central Enterprise Electric Vehicle Industry Alliance is a non-profit organization sponsored by the central government. It has a board of directors, a secretariat, and three professional committees for complete vehicles and electric drives, batteries, charging and service. There are a total of 16 sponsors, including FAW Group, China Ordnance Equipment Group Corporation, Dongfeng Motor, Dongfang Electric Group and China South Locomotive Group; China National Offshore Oil Corporation, Beijing Nonferrous Metals Research Institute, China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation and China Aviation Industry Group Corporation; charging and service areas include State Grid Corporation of China, China Putian, PetroChina, Sinopec, China Southern Power Grid, and China Poly. The overall planning for the development of the central electric vehicle industry related to the development of the alliance has now been completed and passed by experts. Review.

The establishment of the central enterprise electric vehicle industry alliance means that the five major central enterprises in the energy sector will fully enter the new energy vehicles, and the competition for electric vehicle charging stations, batteries and other industrial chains will also become more intense. "Before each project was developed, Units in the alliance must first sign an agreement on attribution. When sharing, they will radiate and promote the joint development of the member units for free, and adopt relatively favorable conditions to transfer the compensation to other units that are not involved in the development within the alliance, and adopt paid methods to the alliance. Foreign companies transferred.” Yesterday, the car dealers told reporters that the establishment of alliances with 16 central enterprises, the central enterprises to vigorously improve new energy technologies, to achieve resource sharing in parts and components and reduce costs, have a positive significance. Central enterprises cooperation, It can produce synergy effects and will also open up the links between upstream and downstream of China's new energy industry chain and accelerate the maturity of China's new energy vehicle industry.

It is worth noting that many domestic large-scale local auto companies including SAIC and GAC Group did not join this alliance. Yesterday, SAIC Chairman Hu Maoyuan said in an interview with reporters that SAIC was not a central enterprise and therefore did not join this group. Union. However, the development of domestic electric vehicle technology depends on the joint development of central enterprises and local auto companies. Before that, SAIC Group has joined the TOP10 electric vehicle alliance in China. Unlike the central enterprise electric vehicle industry alliance, the “TOP10 electric vehicle alliance” Only domestic automobile enterprises, and companies that participate in the “New Energy Vehicle Central Enterprise Major Alliance” will also include non-automotive companies such as PetroChina, Sinopec, CNOOC, State Grid, and China Southern Power Grid.
