Why does the Celestial Empire vigorously encourage the development of new energy vehicles?

Environmentalists may say: air pollution is so serious, energy saving, low-carbon, environmental protection is the trend of social development, must be engaged in new energy vehicles.

If this sentence is divided into several small sentences, Jiang Hui agrees, but when put together, he does not dare to agree.

In Jiang Hui's view, while reducing car exhaust can indeed improve air quality, vehicle exhaust, especially from cars, is not a major contributor to serious air pollution.

Otherwise, wouldn't so many big cities in the world be dark all year round?

In addition, from the perspective of environmental protection alone, traditional fuel vehicles can also meet environmental protection requirements through technological upgrades.

In addition, new energy vehicles themselves are zero-emission, but their indirect emissions cannot be ignored, especially in the Celestial Empire, where highly polluting coal power dominates.

Do you really think that electric vehicles are really "zero emissions"?

From the perspective of the entire industrial chain, it is difficult to say which one is more polluting.

Therefore, Jiang Hui feels that the main reason is not this, but because of the overall strategic needs of the development of the national automobile industry and the national economy.

The automobile industry is the pillar industry of a country's economy, which reflects the level of industrial development of a country to a certain extent, so the government has always wanted to revitalize the national automobile industry.

Over the years, in order to develop its own automobile industry, the Celestial Empire has adopted the strategic policy of "exchanging the market for technology" to attract a large number of foreign-funded enterprises to enter.

However, more than 20 years have passed, the market has been replaced, and the technology has not been learned.

Just look at the level of the independent brands of the large car companies in the Celestial Empire!

If the strategy of "exchanging the market for technology" fails, then we have to change the development strategy, and we can't leave the mess behind, after all, it has not yet reached a hopeless situation.

As a result, the government shifted its attention to new energy vehicles.

Why choose new energy vehicles, instead of trying to tackle traditional cars like rockets and atomic bombs?

Because the core components and control systems of traditional automobiles are all monopolized by foreign giants such as Bosch, Denso, and Delphi.

There is no hope of transcendence in sight!

Instead of letting the money go down the drain, it's better to do something that has the potential to succeed.

And let's look at new energy vehicles, mainly electric vehicles.

For key technical issues such as electric vehicle range, charging time, battery stability and cost, domestic and foreign companies have not made substantial breakthroughs.

At the same time, in the fields of batteries and motors, there is a certain foundation in China.

Relatively speaking, in terms of electric vehicles, the gap between China and foreign countries is relatively small, so it is still very feasible to use electric vehicles for corner overtaking.

Of course, Jiang Hui thought about these words by himself, and he would definitely not say them directly to Kato.

But in fact, I am not afraid to say it, and foreigners are not really unable to see through it, otherwise in the future generations, it will not be the hottest electric car only in the Celestial Empire.

Because for the United States, island countries and other countries, the necessity and urgency of engaging in electric vehicles are far less high than those of the Celestial Empire.

Let's look at another reason.

Modern social life is becoming more and more dependent on resources, and almost any activity cannot be separated from resources.

And most of the resources are non-renewable, especially oil.

As can be seen from the officially published data. In 2006, China's crude oil output was 183.68 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 1.7 percent, and the net oil import was 162.87 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 19.6 percent. Among them, the net import of crude oil was 138.84 million tons, an increase of 16.9 percent, and the net import of refined oil was 24.03 million tons, an increase of 37.9 percent.

The dependence of the Celestial Empire on foreign oil has reached 47.0 percent, an increase of 4.1 percentage points over 2005.

Jiang Hui also knows that the dependence on foreign oil will become 60 percent in another 10 years, and the Celestial Empire will surpass the United States to become the world's largest oil importer.

It is clear that oil is already a strategic resource related to national security.

With the continuous increase in automobile production, the number of cars in the Celestial Empire has risen rapidly, and soon, half of the oil consumption of the Celestial Empire will be used in automobiles.

As an oil-poor country, how could the leaders of the Celestial Empire watch this situation continue to worsen?

If there is a little contradiction with the United States or other countries such as Ah San, and people do something in the Indian Ocean or Malacca, they will directly cut off the way for the Celestial Empire to import oil.

Then it hurts.

In the United States, the smartest people have gone to Wall Street.

In the Celestial Empire, the smartest people went to the civil service exam.

The smart people of the Celestial Empire don't want their eggs to be pinched!

Therefore, the task of reducing fuel consumption in the automotive industry is imminent.

These two reasons are the fundamental reasons why Jiang Hui believes that the Celestial Empire will vigorously develop new energy vehicles!

"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Jiang, did you hear me?", seeing that Jiang Hui had been distracted for a long time, Kato couldn't help but exclaim.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I was just thinking about your problem", Jiang Hui was stunned for a moment and said: "Kato, although hybrid is a good direction, but Guanghui Automobile does not have any advantages in this regard, but in terms of electric vehicles, we have our own battery company, which is worth vigorously developing."

"That being said, I think it will take at least four or five years for electric vehicles to be introduced to the market on a large scale."

"For an auto company, four or five years is not a long time, and we can afford to wait."

"Okay, then Mr. Jiang, what kind of electric truck do you want us to develop first?heavy?medium?or light?", Kato seemed to have resigned himself to his fate, and the boss said what Liu.

"Let's start with light trucks, which will also be the most demanded truck type for Jingxi Mall and Meituan in the future."

"If we consider the needs of each group company, I think we can also develop a bus that can be used as a commuter vehicle for each company."

Kato soon got into the groove and began to think about the discovery of electric vehicles according to Jiang Hui's ideas.

"Buses and buses can also be used, but priority is given to the development of light trucks."

The road conditions of transport trucks are more complex, and they run on the road all day and night, which can better test the problems of the battery and its control system, which is conducive to the next development of Guanghui Automobile.

"Okay, then I'll go back and arrange, and I'll give you the promotion plan next week."

Seeing that it was almost time to get off work, Kato ended this report.

Today's report is also very rewarding for Jiang Hui.

On the one hand, it basically clarified the direction of the location of the automobile factory, and on the other hand, it set the next research and development direction of Guanghui Automobile.

The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first!

For Guanghui Automobile, the new models developed are the company's grain and grass.

Therefore, Jianghui began to lay out three SUVs and a light electric truck in advance, laying a solid foundation for the blockbuster success of Guanghui Automobile two or three years later.

As the so-called hidden dragon waits for the clouds to gather, and the pheasant tiger hides in the forest, the future of Guanghui Automobile is destined to be a new legend.
