The new energy automobile industry chain alliance in the Yangtze River Delta was established to join SAIC, Geely, Jianghuai, Chery, Weilai, etc.

Recently, led by SAIC Group, Geely Holdings Group, Chery Group and Jiangsu Society of Automotive Engineering, the Yangtze River Delta New Energy vehicle Industry chain Alliance (hereinafter referred to as "Alliance") was established. A total of 73 new energy vehicle industry chain enterprises from three provinces and one city have been jointly established, involving upstream and downstream enterprises in battery, motor, vehicle networking, software and other industries.

As we all know, electrification, intelligence and networking are the development trend and trend of the world automobile industry, and the development of new energy vehicles is an important way for China's automobile industry to change from a big automobile country to an automobile power. In November, the General Office of the State Council issued the Development Plan of New Energy vehicle Industry (2021-2035), which is a continuation of the policy of "Energy Saving and New Energy vehicle Industry Development Plan (2012-2020)". It also marks that China's new energy vehicles have officially entered a period of rapid development from the training period.

According to the data, the sales of electric vehicles in China, Europe and the United States in 2020 were 1.37 million, 1.37 million and 330000 respectively. China's new energy vehicle industry recovered significantly in the second half of 2020, ending an one-year trough. In 2021, although the whole automobile market affected by the epidemic is still in the doldrums compared with the past, the production and marketing of new energy vehicles is still in the leading state of the industry. According to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, from January to April this year, the sales of new energy vehicles in China totaled 732000, a cumulative increase of 2.49 times compared with the same period last year.

Industry insiders said that the Yangtze River Delta, as a dense new energy industry in China, has great potential in the future. Specific to car companies, Geely Automobile has launched Geometry, Polar Star, Polar Krypton and other brands in the brand layout of new energy vehicles, covering the low end to the luxury market. SAIC's cumulative insurance number from January to April has reached 1.847 million, an increase of 51.7% over the same period last year. SAIC new energy products have played an important role behind the rapid growth. Under the flag brand Wuling Hongguang EV sales of nearly 30, 000 vehicles, firmly in the lead; SAIC passenger cars Roewe, MG, R car new energy sales continue to exceed 10,000; luxury pure electric smart brand Zhiji cars, sales are also rising. SAIC said sales of new energy vehicles are expected to break through the 500000 mark for the first time this year.

As the first rotating chairman unit, Zhang Aiqun, senior vice president of Geely Holdings Group, said that Geely will focus on the development and industrialization of key technologies for core components such as battery, motor, electric control, vehicle networking, intelligent vehicle electronics and new energy vehicle technology, and promote the development of new energy vehicle industry through industrial funds and other means.

In addition, Anhui Province, as an important automobile industry base in the country, will take the complete vehicle enterprises represented by Jianghuai Automobile, Chery Automobile, Weilai Automobile and Valin Automobile, the power battery and recycling enterprises represented by Guoxuan Hi-Tech, Huating Power, tomorrow hydrogen Energy and Green Wo Energy, the electric drive system enterprises represented by Giant Power, the automotive electronics enterprises represented by Shengtaike, and the university units represented by Hefei University of Technology. Recommend joining the alliance.

Data show that automobile production in Anhui Province returned to the ranks of one million against the trend in 2020, reaching an output of 1.161 million vehicles, an increase of 23.8% over the same period last year. During the 13th five-year Plan period, Anhui Province produced a total of 495000 new energy vehicles, accounting for 9.8 percent of the country, of which the output in 2020 was 105000, ranking fourth in the country.

The Global Research Institute believes that after years of development, the new energy industry in the Yangtze River Delta has not only made positive contributions to economic and social development, but also gathered a large number of talents, precipitated enough technology, and formed a good industrial supporting environment and market atmosphere. In addition, the establishment of the new energy vehicle industry chain alliance also provides an opportunity to "change lanes and overtake" for the rapid development of China's new energy vehicle market. What is more noteworthy is that the Yangtze River Delta has become a gathering place for new energy vehicles in China.
