But when everyone is talking about smart car, which is the strongest technical strength? Patent is an important measure of business technology indicators, the number of patents to measure this indicator, the answer may be contrary to many people's expectations.
Released on December 18, "2017 China Automotive Technology Development Report" shows that as of 2016, the number of domestic patents on automotive technology patents, Geely 364 in the domestic applicants ranked first, Chang'an University in 323 Item ranked second, Chery Automobile ranked third with 307, BYD ranked sixth with 183, Beiqi Foton ranked 176 with 176th.
The report shows that among the top 15 patent applicants, colleges and universities occupy 6 seats, with the exception of Changan University No. 2, Jilin University (170), Southeast University (148), Tsinghua University (126) , Jiangsu University (124), Tongji University (117).
Among the remaining 9 applicants, 5 are non-traditional enterprises, namely Botai Zhenyue (264), State Grid (217), Loulan Technology (139), Leica Automobile (124), Yuan Zheng Technology (115) .
From the number of domestic patent applicants to disclose the amount of view, there are quite a few surprising places, first, the current momentum of the largest new energy car prices are not prominent, BYD ranked only 6, BAIC New Energy did not short-listed; Is several major state-owned automobile group vacancies, none of the shortlisted, SAIC is so active in the layout of new energy vehicles, smart cars are not short-listed, really surprising; Third, non-traditional car prices, in addition to the national grid, the finalists almost Are 'new faces', Wei to, Weimar, Xiaopeng and other thriving trucking new forces, but also no finalists.
In contrast, the rankings of foreign applicants are not that surprising. According to the report, Toyota (499), Hyundai (493), General Motors (443), Bosch (422), Ford (411) Denso (273), Honda (145), Nissan (122), Mitsubishi (93), BMW (90).
As can be seen from this ranking, multinational car companies have been active in China, the layout of the intelligent network of related technologies, and several giants are significantly higher than the number of domestic car prices, if the unexpected, then the modern very positive, and the A Toyota patent disclosure is extremely close to the number, which can not help but guess that the intelligent network of technology will become the Korean car re-emergence of the weapon?
The biggest surprise is that the list did not even Volkswagen.Want to lead the Chinese market the next 30 years of the public, even in China's smart car technology patents leading, greatly unexpected.
The China Automotive Technology Development Report (2017) (2017 Automotive Red Book) was co-authored by China Society of Automotive Engineers and Toyota Motor Co. This is the third time since 2015 that the China Automotive Engineering Society and Toyota Motor Company jointly launched the China Automotive Technology Develop annual report.
Compared with the previous two reports, a highlight of the "China Automotive Technology Development Report (2017)" is the introduction of the "Smart Car of Lianhe Automobile Co., Ltd." in addition to the annual assessment report 2016-2017 of the Roadmap for Energy- Technology Roadmap Annual Evaluation Report 2016-2017 "The report pointed out that China's intelligent network of vehicles significantly faster than expected growth rate, the progress of its development is expected to be achieved earlier than the set goals.
Gong Wei Jie, Deputy Secretary General of China Society of Automotive Engineers, said in the report: 'At present, China's automobile industry has made new breakthroughs in the field of energy-saving engines such as engine thermal efficiency, low windage, light weight and hybrid power. In the development of a completely new platform for pure electric vehicles, Performance plug-in hybrid system, energy consumption of vehicle, energy density of power battery, power density of driving motor, etc. In the autonomous driving platform, autonomous vehicle operating system, LTE-V technical standards and products, 5G Technology and other intelligent networking vehicles have reached international standards in the field of synchronization, and driving assistance (DA) autonomous driving has been industrialized and accelerated towards partial automatic driving (PA) and conditional automatic driving (CA).
According to the report, the development of China's intelligent car networking industry still faces many challenges. The main manifestations are as follows: the weak foundation of electronic manufacturing and the challenges of the lack of basic support for the smart car industry's eco-construction; the strategic alliance of multinational corporations, from market technologies Standard squeeze the domestic industry; artificial intelligence cross-border integration, intelligent network development there is still greater uncertainty.
The Report suggests accelerating the establishment of the top-level coordination mechanism for the development of intelligent networking in the automobile industry, promoting the legislation, revision of law and interpretation of laws on intelligent networking in an orderly manner, perfecting the construction of intelligent network-linked automobile information security system and speeding up the public Road test specification.
Zhang Jinhua, executive vice president and secretary general of China Society of Automotive Engineers, said the industry needs new blood when the industry changes, but it is noteworthy that a large influx of IT and Internet companies will bring quality products. Enterprises do not feel impetuous, some new car prices in the publicity is relatively high profile, but in the actual product development to promote solid, strict security to ensure product quality, 'keep doing the bottom line'.
