Since 2023, my country's automobile industry has maintained steady development, and the domestic market has also continued to recover.
On July 11, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers released domestic new energy vehicle industry operation data for the first half of the year, which showed that China's new energy vehicle production and sales in the first half of 2023 reached 3.788 million and 3.747 million units respectively, a year-on-year increase of 42.4% and 44.1% respectively. , with a market share of 28.3%. Among them, in June, the production and sales of new energy vehicles increased by 32.8% and 35.2% year-on-year respectively, and the new energy vehicle industry continued to develop well.
New energy vehicles are the development trend of the future automobile market, and consumer demands are becoming increasingly diversified. In order to explore the comprehensive capabilities of new energy vehicles, from June to July this year, CHEDI conducted an annual large-scale car summer test in Turpan City, Xinjiang, covering a total of 60 popular mainstream models in the current automobile market, including high-temperature charging , battery life, performance, vehicle engine, air conditioning, assisted driving and other items to provide consumers with a reference for purchasing. The results show that domestic new energy models overall maintain a lead over joint venture and imported models, and perform well in terms of battery life, charging, and intelligent configuration.
1: Summer high temperature test
Domestic models maintain leadership in many aspects
On July 22, Dongchedi announced the results of large-scale vehicle testing in the summer of 2023. Domestic new energy vehicles continued their excellent performance during the previous winter test. The results show that domestic models maintain the lead in terms of endurance, driving quietness, acceleration performance, and intelligence level, and are all better than joint venture and imported models.
From the perspective of battery life, in the 2023 summer test, in high temperature weather above 40°C, the average battery life of new energy vehicles with full load was 64%. Among them, the average battery life attainment rate of domestically produced models is 64.8%, and the endurance attainment rate of joint venture and imported brands is 62.3%. Nine of the top 10 domestically produced models occupy 9. In the acceleration project, the top 20 included 17 domestically produced cars; in the bump and noise test, the top 9 quietest models were also all domestically produced.
This summer test includes a number of intelligent level tests for the first time. Domestic new power brands have excellent voice interaction and vehicle fluency. New energy vehicles have a better experience than traditional fuel vehicles. In addition, the domestic new energy vehicle mobile app remote control response is fast and has rich functions, which can provide remote parking, entry and exit of parking spaces, sentry mode and other highlighted functions. Judging from the comprehensive evaluation of the two functions of mobile phone remote control and mobile phone key, the top-ranked ones are all independent brands.
Focusing on the impact of high temperatures in summer on car use, CHEDI also conducted a number of tests on formaldehyde in the car and air-conditioning cooling. After more than 4 hours of high-temperature exposure, all vehicles cooled down by an average of 13.85°C within 15 minutes after turning on the air conditioner. The cooling effect was not as good as usual. During the test, the amount of formaldehyde emitted in the car increased significantly after exposure to the sun, which was 3-5 times that in a non-exposed environment. The more luxurious the interior of the car, the higher the amount of formaldehyde released.
Based on the data results of this summer test, Dongchedi released the "actual test G-class certification" system. This system combines vehicle performance, intelligence, safety, ride experience and other car usage scenarios in the test, as well as sales price, model type, etc., to comprehensively evaluate popular models, and gives G excellent, A good, M average, P relatively The four-level result description provides consumers with a basis for decision-making when buying a car.
2: Independent brands use “electricity” to overtake
China's automobiles enter a new stage of development
Public data shows that the market share of self-owned brands continued to increase in the first half of this year, and the cumulative retail share in the first half of the year exceeded 50%, an increase of 4.2 percentage points compared to the same period in 2022. The National Passenger Car Market Information Joint Conference pointed out that leading traditional car companies have performed well in transformation and upgrading, and the brand share of traditional car companies such as BYD Auto, Geely Automobile, Changan Automobile, and Chery Automobile has increased significantly.
At the same time, my country's automobile exports are growing rapidly, and new energy vehicles have become a new export growth point. Public data shows that automobile companies exported 2.14 million vehicles in the first half of the year, a year-on-year increase of 75.7%. Among them, 1.78 million passenger cars were exported, a year-on-year increase of 88.4%; and 534,000 new energy vehicles were exported, a year-on-year increase of 1.6 times.
It can be seen from the test results of Dianche Dixia that independent brands have improved accordingly for core issues of consumer concern such as battery life, charging and intelligence levels. Behind this is the result of continuous breakthroughs in the core technology of new energy vehicles in my country in recent years. As a core component of new energy vehicles, my country has made breakthrough progress in the application of power battery materials and new technologies, and built a power battery industry system. On the technical side, my country has also achieved continuous innovation in intelligent driving, Internet of Vehicles, battery technology, etc., which has promoted a significant improvement in the level of vehicle intelligence.
Ma Jun, vice president of Dongchedi, said that in the context of the rapid development of new energy vehicles, consumer demand is also constantly changing. In the past year, the number of users of Dongchedi paying attention to new energy increased by 46%. In the past, cars were only used as means of transportation, but now they have become a mobile smart carrier and an extension of life scenes. At present, more than 200 models have been tested on a large scale in winter and summer by Dianchedi. Domestic brands continue to perform well in various tests, which will also inject confidence into consumers' diversified choice of models and drive the growth of car sales.
New energy vehicles are an important direction for the transformation, upgrading and green development of the global automobile industry, and are also a strategic choice for the high-quality development of my country's automobile industry. At present, our country has established a new energy vehicle industry system with a complete structure and organic synergy, cultivated the world's largest consumer market, and has entered a new stage of high-quality development of scale and globalization on the basis of industrialization and marketization. . Under the current economic situation, the automobile industry will play an important role in stimulating domestic demand and promoting foreign trade. The automobile industry, with new energy vehicles as the main increment, is also expected to maintain high growth.
