Promote carbon neutrality in the entire industry chain and life cycle of new energy vehicles

       At present, most people in the automotive industry focus on the increase in the share of new energy vehicles. However, relevant departments have planned the development direction of the industry from the perspective of “full life cycle and full industry chain development”. With the clean electricity and the high efficiency of new energy vehicles , the carbon emissions of new energy vehicles will be greatly reduced. Relatively speaking, the proportion of carbon emissions in the material cycle during the manufacturing phase will increase. In order to reduce the carbon emissions in the whole life cycle, whether it is power batteries,  motors or components, or the carbon emissions from the manufacturing and recycling of other components are also worthy of our attention. Low-carbon development for carbon neutrality runs through the entire life cycle of an automobile. Through the low carbonization of energy supply of new energy vehicles, the low carbonization of material supply, the low carbonization of production process, and the low carbonization of transportation, the carbon neutrality of the whole industry chain and the whole life cycle will be promoted.

　　At present, the scale of the new energy market is expanding rapidly. Recently, Meng Wei, a spokesman for the Chinese National Development and Reform Commission, said at a press conference that, from a longer-term perspective, in recent years, my country’s new energy vehicle production and sales have grown rapidly, the level of key technologies has been greatly improved, and supporting service systems such as charging infrastructure have been continuously improved. It can be said that China’s new energy vehicle industry has formed a good foundation, and the development of new energy vehicles has entered a period of comprehensive market expansion. The National Development and Reform Commission will conscientiously implement the new energy vehicle industry development plan and continue to promote the high-quality development of the new energy vehicle industry.

　　Thanks to the in-depth advancement of China’s environmental protection cause, and the policy subsidy at the beginning, the development of new energy vehicle enterprises is multiplied with half the effort. Today, subsidies are declining, access thresholds are floating, and new energy vehicles are more in demand but have stricter requirements. This is undoubtedly a new round of tests for the quality and technology of relevant car companies. Under such a background, product performance, vehicle manufacturing technology, vehicle service and other fields will become the competition points of various enterprises. In this way, whether new energy vehicle companies have the ability to innovate, whether they have core technologies, or whether they have a complete industrial chain will determine the final result of the competition for market share. Obviously, under the condition that the market accelerates the survival of the fittest, the phenomenon of internal differentiation is a major purge that will inevitably occur.

　　Promote energy conservation and emission reduction in the entire life cycle of the automobile industry and the entire industry chain. Carbon neutrality in the automotive industry is a systematic project involving many fields such as energy, industry and transportation information, as well as multiple links such as development, use, and recycling. To achieve carbon peaking and carbon neutrality in the automotive industry requires not only its own technological breakthroughs, Other related technologies, such as lightweight materials, autonomous transportation, etc., are also required to advance together. The Ministry of Science and Technology has also systematically deployed carbon-reduction and zero-carbon technologies such as smart manufacturing, renewable energy, advanced energy storage and smart grids, third-generation semiconductors, green recycling and reuse of materials, and intelligent transportation through the national science and technology plan, and coordinated advancements. Comprehensive integrated application demonstration, supporting the strong technical synergy of carbon emission reduction in the automobile industry.

　　According to the policy plan, the policy subsidy for new energy vehicles will officially end next year. However, in order to cultivate new economic growth points, promote the consumption of new energy vehicles and green and low-carbon development, the executive meeting of the State Council decided to continue the implementation of the policy of exempting vehicle purchase tax for new energy vehicles. By the end of 2023, based on the development status of new energy vehicles, the end of subsidies will not have a major impact on market sales, and the new energy market will still develop rapidly. At the same time, under the relevant promotion fee policies such as car going to the countryside, market sales will inevitably increase to a certain extent.

　　With the development of the new energy vehicle industry, even though there are still shortcomings in terms of battery life, battery technology, maintenance and management, it still has inherent advantages over traditional fuel vehicles. Many people in the industry believe that even for a long period of time, fuel vehicles, hybrid vehicles and pure electric vehicles will coexist in the market, and the future development label will still be “electrification”. This can be seen from the changes in the market share of pure electric vehicles in China. From less than 2% to surpassing traditional fuel vehicles, the industry is expected to change in more than ten years. From the perspective of environmental protection and energy consumption, as long as the cost barrier is overcome and a complete operation and maintenance system is established, the possibility of realizing the future blueprint of pure electric drive will be greatly improved.

　　The integrated development of vehicle energy is not only an important guarantee for the carbon neutrality of the automobile industry, but also supports the green and low-carbon transformation of the energy system. From the perspective of low-carbon development of the automobile industry, which involves manufacturing and use, the current carbon emissions of automobiles are mainly in the use of fuel. With the market-oriented promotion of new energy vehicles, the carbon emissions of vehicles will gradually shift to the upstream, and the cleaning of upstream energy will be an important guarantee for the low-carbon life cycle of vehicles.
