[national New Energy vehicle Technology Innovation Center Zou Guangcai: lack of domestic automotive chip storage standard system] at the 2021 World Semiconductor Congress and Nanjing International Semiconductor Expo, Zou Guangcai, deputy general manager of the National New Energy vehicle Technology Innovation Center, pointed out that at present, there are the following problems in the domestic automotive chip industry: first, the relative lack of standard system; second, the lack of test and certification platform; The third is the lack of technical research and development capacity; the fourth is the lack of application of key products; the fifth car gauge process is lack of accumulation. "the test and evaluation of automotive chips we use now are all international standards, but the use of international standards has also given rise to an obvious problem. The Chinese automobile standards that have emerged in the process of the rapid development of China's automobile industry, there are also new requirements for mapping to the chip level, but international standards can not reflect the unique requirements of China's automobile industry."
[China International Capital Corporation: the current point of global power battery industry chain will meet the inflection point of structural change] China International Capital Corporation pointed out that the current time point of global power battery industry chain will meet the inflection point of structural change. On the one hand, the lack of local power industry chain in Europe and the United States has strengthened the demand for the localization of the industrial chain; on the other hand, the rapid penetration of new energy vehicles in Europe and the United States has driven a high demand for overseas installation. It has turned the evolution pattern of the global power industrial chain to East Asia concentration in the past decade to globalization, bringing historical opportunities for China's power industrial chain to enter Europe and the United States. We are optimistic about the first-mover advantages of domestic power and material leaders. The Matthew effect of the industrial chain will become more and more prominent.
