A year after the energy-saving subsidy policy was issued, a new round of energy-saving and environmental protection catalogs finally came to the end. On September 11, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the Ministry of Finance jointly issued a new round of notifications on the promotion of 1.6-liter or lower energy-saving and environmentally-friendly vehicles, and released “Energy-saving products that benefit people's projects, energy-saving and environmentally friendly vehicles (1.6-liter or less passenger cars. ) Promotion Directory (First Batch) (hereinafter referred to as "Catalogue") Notice.

According to the “Catalogue”, there are a total of 28 car companies in the country, of which, Chery, BYD, Dongfeng Fengshen, Geely and Changan Automobile and many other independent brands have been short-listed, and the number of self-owned brand models has reached 102, accounting for 63% of all models. The subsidy extended the amount of the previous two energy-saving subsidies since 2010. The company gave consumers a one-off fixed subsidy of 3,000 yuan, and reduced the standard for qualifying for energy-saving subsidies from the original fuel consumption of 6.9 liters per 100 kilometers to 100 kilometers. The fuel consumption is not higher than 5.9 liters. The industry generally believes that the continuation of the subsidy policy and the continuous improvement of the entry-level threshold for energy-saving vehicles will have positive significance in advancing the progress of automotive energy-saving technologies and in guiding consumers' low-carbon consumption.

However, for auto companies, the new round of energy-saving subsidies is only a feast for individual models, and the bigger test is in the “Accounting Method for Average Consumption of Fuel Consumption by Passenger Vehicles” published by China. In 2015, China’s passenger vehicles The average fuel consumption must be reduced to 6.9 liters per 100 kilometres, and by 2020 it must be reduced to 5.0 kilometres per 100 kilometres. “If individual vehicles enjoy a new round of energy-saving subsidies, it may be easier, but if the average fuel consumption of all production vehicles in the company reaches 6.9 liters per 100 kilometers in 2015, they must be technologically innovative and break through.” Analyst Zhang Zhiyong said.

In the first half of this year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced the average fuel consumption of passenger cars in 2013. Among the 79 domestic passenger car companies and 25 imported passenger car companies, 22 domestic passenger car companies and 12 imports were The average fuel consumption value of car companies is not up to the standard. Some people in the industry believe that in the face of the pressure to achieve the target of phased fuel consumption, through policy measures including energy-saving subsidies, it is imperative for auto manufacturers to raise relevant technological levels and adjust product structure as an important channel.

Li Yunfei, deputy general manager of BYD Sales Co., Ltd., said that the restoration of energy-saving subsidies will play a role in promoting BYD's sales in the second half of the year. In addition, BYD will have a number of new vehicles on the market in the second half of the year and its outstanding performance in new energy vehicles. Annual sales should be equal to last year.

Cui Dongshu, deputy secretary-general of the National Passenger Vehicle Market Information Association, said that the energy-saving subsidies are not only to encourage the promotion of the overall sales volume of small-displacement vehicles, but more importantly, an important indicator of low fuel consumption. This will prompt the auto companies to actively adjust the product structure and carry out power technology upgrades as an important means for companies to achieve the target of fuel consumption limits.
