The automobile industry is the pillar industry of Yangcheng.

This is already written in the development plan of Yangcheng.

Nowadays, whether it is Yangcheng Honda, Yangcheng Toyota or Yangcheng Trumpchi under Yangcheng Automobile Group, the performance is very good.

Not to mention the industrial driving role of Nanshan Group.

Although 2008 has not passed, it is conservatively estimated that at least 300 billion yuan of Yangcheng's GDP this year is contributed by the automobile industry.

You know, Yangcheng's GDP is now about 1 trillion a year.

Now Cao Yang and Zhang Jiaqi, two heavyweights in the Yangcheng automobile industry, came to Liu Tianwu together, and he naturally attached great importance to it.

"Leader, this time we are looking for you for help."

Cao Yang was half joking, half serious.

"Mr. Cao, don't be scary, we are here to find a good project for Yangcheng."

Zhang Jiaqi is also a frequent visitor to Liu Tianwu's office, and he speaks relatively relaxed.

"Listening to your tone, what big moves are Nanshan Group and Yangcheng Automobile Group going to make?"

Liu Tianwu personally poured a cup of tea for Cao Yang and Zhang Jiaqi, and then sat down on the sofa.

Normally, when Cao Yang and Zhang Jiaqi came over, he would not sit in his original position, but followed him to the sofa next to him and sat down.

This makes the conversation more equal.

"Mr. Cao, why don't I report to the leader on my behalf?"

Zhang Jiaqi looked at Liu Tianwu and then at Cao Yang.

Cao Yang smiled directly, stretched out his hand to signal that Zhang Jiaqi had no opinion, and asked him to start explaining.

Yangcheng Automobile Group is the son of Yangcheng, and it is natural for the son to ask his father for subsidies.

So before he came, Zhang Jiaqi had actually told Cao Yang that he would take the initiative to explain to Liu Tianwu about the electric vehicle subsidy.

Cao Yang added a little to the important opportunities brought to Yangcheng after the development of the electric vehicle industry.

Soon, after getting a positive reply, Zhang Jiaqi began to explain.

Liu Tianwu listened very carefully, and did not directly interrupt if he had any questions in the middle, but picked up a notebook next to him and recorded it simply and quickly.

It was not until ten minutes later that Zhang Jiaqi finished reporting the plan and subsidy policy before Liu Tianwu began to question.

"The Asian Games are only a little more than a year away, and in such a short period of time, are you sure you can make electric buses and electric buses with a range of 300 kilometers?"

Sure enough, for a character like Liu Tianwu, the special ceremony of the Asian Games has received a very different degree of attention.

When the time comes, if the electric car is done well, it will directly become a beautiful scenery of the Asian Games.

"Nanshan Battery has mastered the mature lithium iron phosphate and ternary lithium battery technology, whether it is installed on commercial vehicles or passenger cars, there is no problem."

"In addition to batteries, electric vehicles need to use various parts such as motors, electronic controls, reducers, charging boxes, high-voltage distribution boxes, etc., and Nanshan Auto Parts has also accumulated relevant technologies."

"As long as there is a need, the parts can be produced within half a year."

"Combined with the mass production time and demand of the model, we can also quickly invest in new production lines to increase production."

In terms of technical matters, Cao Yang must reassure Liu Tianwu.

Otherwise, when the subsidy policy comes out, it will become a joke.

"It's no problem to replace buses with electric vehicles, especially the routes related to the Asian Games venues."

"As long as the technology of the electric buses you produce is mature, even if the price is a little more expensive, you can do it."

"But there must not be all kinds of problems, I heard before that the battery of electric cars is easy to burn, is that true?"

For Liu Tianwu, to do one thing, we need to consider the benefits, but more importantly, the risks.

When he comes to his position, he is easily unwilling to do something very risky.

Because it's really not necessary.

Inputs and outputs are a bit out of proportion.

"Our current batteries mainly have two types: lithium iron phosphate batteries and ternary lithium batteries."

"Lithium iron phosphate batteries have good heat resistance, and basically only when the battery temperature reaches more than 800 degrees Celsius, spontaneous combustion may occur, and the safety is better."

"However, in the face of low temperatures of minus 20 degrees, the performance of the battery will be affected, and the performance will not be stable."

"And the overall volume and weight of the battery are large, the convenience is not very good, and it is a bit inappropriate to put it on passenger cars, and it will have little impact on buses and buses at that time."

"The ternary lithium battery has a high energy density, and the overall volume and weight are smaller, but the performance is still very good, and the output power is higher."

"At the same time, relatively speaking, ternary lithium batteries are resistant to low temperatures, even in the face of low temperatures of minus 20 degrees, they can also ensure the good working performance of the battery."

"Of course, the cost of ternary lithium battery raw materials is high, the production threshold is high, and relatively speaking, in the working process, lithium crystals are easy to precipitate near the electrode, and if the process is not up to standard, it is easy to have the risk of fire."

"Our project this time, electric buses and buses are ready to use lithium iron phosphate batteries, and the safety performance is completely assured."

"The ternary lithium battery used in the electric taxi is also a low-nickel battery with a nickel-cobalt-manganese ratio of 1:1:1, which is much safer than that produced by other peers."

"And when our battery pack is designed, we will fully consider the safety protection of the battery in case of overheating and collision."

"Accidents on fire can be basically eliminated."

At this time, Cao Yang must have expressed his confidence in Nanshan Battery's products.

In fact, whether the electric car will catch fire or not is not the most critical issue now.

The most important thing now is to implement the subsidy policy as soon as possible.

For the technology of Nanshan Group, Liu Tianwu is still relatively confident.

Cao Yang personally said that there was no problem with Nanshan battery, and Liu Tianwu chose to believe even if he had some doubts in his heart.

"Since you all have confidence, there is naturally no problem with the introduction of electric vehicle subsidy policies in Yangcheng."

"If you want this policy to be introduced faster, it's best to be directly responsible for making a first draft, and then the city will find experts to discuss it, and it is best to discuss it at the meeting and then announce it to the public."

Liu Tianwu can be regarded as full of sincerity.

The development of electric vehicles is in line with the general policy.

Subsidies for electric vehicles are also in line with the general direction.

Not a penny of this money will go into Liu Tianwu's pocket, so he is not worried about any obstacles to the introduction of this policy.

As a leader in charge of the economy, Liu Tianwu still has the right to speak in this matter.

"Leader, our group has simply drafted a draft of the new energy vehicle subsidy policy for external consultation, and we will leave it to you."

Zhang Jiaqi is naturally very familiar with the introduction process and the story behind these policies.

So after discussing it with Cao Yang yesterday, he immediately asked people to work overtime overnight to come up with a "Yangcheng New Energy Vehicle Subsidy Standard Consultation Draft".

As for the follow-up discussion with experts, the biggest possibility is to invite professors from Lingnan University of Science and Technology and other relevant scientific research institutes to discuss, so there is no need to worry about them opposing it.

The development of new energy vehicles is not only a policy, but also an industrial chain, which involves a lot of interests behind it.

Relevant scientific research institutes are also a link in this industrial chain or interest chain.

Whether it is related technology transformation, or related cooperative research and development, or testing needs, it is all related to universities.

If we can get involved, we will be able to find a way to distribute a part of the development dividend.

There is no reason for those experts to oppose the introduction of this subsidy policy.

"Since you are all ready, then I will go and review it in person, and then ask several other leaders to take a look at it, and strive to publish the draft for consultation this week."

"Then before the Spring Festival, the subsidy policy will be officially determined."

"However, the relevant subsidy policies in Lingnan Province are to be implemented, and it is estimated that the speed is not so fast, so you must be psychologically prepared."

"Even the subsidy policy in the province, when the time comes, we will not only listen to the opinions of your two companies, but also listen to the opinions of BYD and other car companies such as Toyota, Honda, and Nissan."

Liu Tianwu is confident that he can handle the affairs of Yangcheng.

But when he arrived in Lingnan Province, although he was confident that a similar policy could be successfully introduced, he did not know what this policy would be revised into.

"Our electric vehicles will not be mass-produced until the second half of next year at the earliest, and the relevant policies of Lingnan Province will be enough as long as they can be introduced in the first half of next year."

"At that time, it is estimated that the relevant subsidy policies of the ministry will also move, and it is just right to launch our electric buses, electric buses and electric taxis, so that Yangcheng will be in front of green travel."

Zhang Jiaqi is also a very good storyteller.

A "let Yangcheng walk in front of green travel" completely touched Liu Tianwu's interest.

"When your electric vehicles come off the assembly line, you can hold a ceremony with the Asian Organizing Committee, and we will shout the slogan of green travel."

The name is not right.

For Liu Tianwu, there is a special slogan, which is still very meaningful.

Cao Yang and Zhang Jiaqi naturally have no opinion on this.

Next, the two companies respectively transferred capable teams and began to implement several electric vehicles.

A week after Cao Yang and Zhang Jiaqi visited Liu Tianwu, the "Yangcheng New Energy Vehicle Subsidy Standard Consultation Draft" was hung on the official website of Yangcheng.

This is the first new energy subsidy policy at the local level.

This action of Yangcheng has attracted the attention of many people at once.

"Mr. Wang, Nanshan Group's plan is not small."

"Previously, we always thought that Nanshan Battery was mainly to serve Xingchen Automobile's FHEV strategy, and it has not been so fast in terms of electric vehicles and PHEVs."

"But Yangcheng suddenly came out with such a subsidy policy, behind which was promoted by Nanshan Group and Yangcheng Automobile Group, which must be their preparation for electric vehicles."

"I asked someone about it, and I heard that they are going to cooperate on electric buses, electric buses and electric taxis."

"There are still a lot of units planned in the initial stage, and more than 20,000 electric vehicles will be produced before the Asian Games alone."

As the person in charge of BYD Battery, Lv Faxiang is the most sensitive to various new energy vehicle subsidy policies.

The cost of today's batteries is still too high.

For example, the cost of lithium iron phosphate batteries in later generations can be 0.6 yuan or even lower per watt-hour.

But now the cost of one watt-hour is 3 yuan.

An electric car requires 50 kWh of electricity.

That means that the cost of a single battery goes to 150,000 yuan.

In addition, the cost of other three-electric parts is not low, and the production cost of any electric vehicle has gone to more than 200,000 yuan.

This is only the production cost of the enterprise, not counting various taxes and fees.

In this period, if the range of electric vehicles is really 400 kilometers, without considering subsidies, there is no price of more than 300,000 yuan, and it will definitely be a loss.

Lu Faxiang is very clear about this situation.

"Mr. Cao has always been imaginative, but he has far-reaching artistic conception and a very different layout."

"The coming out of this subsidy policy, to a certain extent, is not a bad thing for us."

"Yangcheng can engage in such a subsidy policy, and we can also lobby Shencheng to introduce a similar policy."

"When the time comes, we will also build electric buses, electric buses and electric taxis in Shencheng."

"And this time it is the subsidy policy of Yangcheng City, will Lingnan Province also introduce similar policies in the future, and even the ministries and commissions will also introduce similar policies?"

"It's totally something to look forward to."

"However, what I am most worried about is that the subsidy standard for new energy vehicles in Yangcheng this time sets the cruising range of passenger cars to 400 kilometers and the cruising range of commercial vehicles to 300 kilometers."

"This is not a low requirement at all."

"Does this mean that Nanshan Battery can already meet the requirements in this regard?"

Wang Fu's vision has always been good.

He hit the nail on the head and pointed out the key point of the problem.

There is a subsidy policy coming out, and that's a good thing.

But the meaning behind this subsidy policy is very different.

If the technical level of Nanshan battery is really so high, then it is not a good thing for BYD.

BYD has always felt that its battery technology is the best in Huaxia.

But now that the subsidy standard announced by Yangcheng City, they find that they seem to be a little out of reach.

It's a bit of a blow up!

"I also think it's a little strange, for example, if an electric taxi has a range of 400 kilometers, it is very difficult."

"Especially in the climate of Yangcheng, air conditioning needs to be turned on for 10 months a year, which has a great impact on the range of electric vehicles."

"With our current lithium iron phosphate batteries, it is difficult to meet such range requirements."

"Unless the size of the car is made relatively large, and the chassis is covered with a bunch of batteries, but taxis don't need the size of such a large sedan."

Lu Faxiang was also weak in his heart.

The situation of competitors, I don't know.

It's a terrible thing and the worst-case scenario.

It's not scary that someone else is stronger than you, just chase after it.

But if you don't even know how strong others are, then it's bigger.

"Xingchen Automobile's starry sky sports car uses ternary lithium batteries."

"According to what we learned before, half of the R&D personnel on Nanshan Battery's side are engaged in the research of ternary lithium batteries."

"Do you think they're going to move ternary lithium batteries to taxis?"

Wang Fu thought about it and felt that only such a plan could meet the subsidy standards announced by Yangcheng.

After all, the energy density of ternary lithium batteries is much higher than that of lithium iron phosphate.

With the same volume and weight, the cruising range of ternary lithium batteries is much longer.

"If the ternary lithium battery is only made into a FHEV battery pack, because there are only one or two kilowatt-hours of electricity, the number of cells in it is relatively small, and the management of the battery cells is relatively simple."

"The heat dissipation problem of the battery pack is also relatively easy to solve, and there is basically no need to worry about collision and fire."

"But the number of battery cells needed on an electric vehicle is much more than that of a FHEV battery pack."

"Whether it's the heat dissipation of the battery or the design of the battery management system, the situation is much more complicated."

"And in this case, the requirements for the homogeneity of the battery cells have also increased a lot."

"These problems are a common problem for the entire automotive industry and the battery industry."

"Whether it is Nissan or Tesla abroad, they are plagued by this problem."

"Nanshan Battery has not been engaged in battery research for a long time, and there is no reason why they have solved this series of problems so quickly."

Lv Faxiang is a battery expert and is well aware of the various problems in battery design and the advantages and disadvantages of various types of batteries.

The battery used by BYD in the car will focus on lithium iron phosphate batteries, because Lv Faxiang feels that there is no way to solve the various problems of ternary lithium batteries in a short period of time.

Now it is speculated that Nanshan Battery may have solved this problem, and he is not surprised.

"Over the years, Nanshan Group has come up with a lot of new technologies, not only in China, but also in the world."

"The policy announced by Yangcheng must have been communicated with Nanshan Group in advance."

"In the end, it was announced like this, which means that Nanshan Group must be able to solve this problem."

"Old Lu, there is not much time left for us."

"Once Nanshan Battery takes advantage of this opportunity and completely establishes its dominant position in the automotive battery industry, it will become very difficult for other manufacturers to catch up."

"When the time comes, some other OEMs want to engage in electric vehicles, and they are likely to first consider cooperating with Nanshan Battery."

"That's a hard thing for us to accept."

Wang Fu has always been more optimistic about the future of electric vehicles.

Otherwise, it would not have come out of a plug-in hybrid car like the F3DM.

Even BYD's own electric car has already produced several prototypes based on F0.

It's just that there are still problems like this and that, and they are not directly promoted to the market.

Now that the competitors in Yangcheng are in front, of course he is a little anxious.

"I'll find a way to inquire again."

"If Nanshan Battery really gets the technology in this area, then there will definitely be relevant actions."

"Yangcheng City will issue such a subsidy policy, which must have something to do with Nanshan Group and Yangcheng Automobile Group."

"Yangcheng Automobile Group itself does not have battery production capacity, so it can only be Nanshan Battery has a breakthrough in related technologies."

"Once they prove that the relevant technical routes are feasible, we can catch up quickly with a little more resources."

Although he was a little empty in his heart, when it was time to make a statement, Lu Faxiang must also make a statement.

Fortunately, Wang Fu also knew that Lu Faxiang could not be blamed for this matter, and arranged more personnel to study the battery as soon as possible and make relevant breakthroughs.

Then promote the introduction of relevant subsidy policies in Shenzhen, which is what BYD Auto needs to do next.

And it's not just BYD that pays attention to Yangcheng's subsidy policy.

Nissan, which is relatively ahead in the global electric vehicle field, is now also discussing this policy.

"Mr. Ota, Huaxia is now starting to engage in new energy vehicle subsidies, according to this standard, it is likely that the electric vehicle market will rise rapidly, do we also have to consider the introduction of LEAF into Huaxia for sales?"

As the head of the sales department of Zephyr Nissan, Yoshikawa Teji still has a high business sensitivity.

In 1996, Nissan unveiled its first electric concept car called the "Prairie Joy EV", which was based on the Nissan Prairie Joy MPV.

However, due to battery technology limitations and inadequate infrastructure at the time, the car failed to achieve commercial success.

In 2008, Nissan formed an alliance with French automaker Renault to jointly advance electric vehicle technology.

This partnership has laid the foundation for Nissan's electric vehicle development, and the two companies have decided to jointly develop an electric vehicle, the LEAF, which is scheduled to be mass-produced in 2010.

Historically, the Nissan LEAF is a revolutionary pure electric masterpiece, as the world's first mass-produced pure electric model, it started the wave of electric vehicles around the world.

The LEAF is not only sold as zero-emission and environmentally friendly, but also has excellent electric performance and practical driving characteristics.

Of course, Nissan got up early in the morning in the field of electric vehicles, and ended up catching up with a late set, which is another matter.

"The range of the LEAF is simply not possible to reach 400 kilometers, and no electric car in the world can achieve this range right now."

"I think the subsidy policy announced by Yangcheng is more symbolic than practical."

"You sales don't need to pay special attention."

Ota thinks there is no point in engaging in electric vehicles now.

Just do a good job of the oil truck.

Xifeng Nissan's current Teana, Tiida, Sunshine and other models are selling very well, and the business is booming.

Ota doesn't want to toss around.

Anyway, in a few years, with his current performance, he will be able to return to China.

"But ......"

"No, but, you have time to think more about how to make the sales of the Ethereal surpass the Accord."

As soon as Ota said this, Teji Yoshikawa could only swallow the rest of the words in his stomach.

However, this matter will not disappear because Nissan Motor does not pay attention to it.
