President of China Federation of Machinery Industry Wang Ruixiang
Dear Vice President Wan Gang, Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, Good morning everyone!
Today, the highly-received '2018 China Automobile Forum' was held here. Here, on behalf of the China Machinery Industry Federation, I would like to extend my warm congratulations to the success of the forum. To the senior members of the auto industry attending the event, the relevant ministries and commissions, International friends, entrepreneurs and distinguished guests will extend sincere greetings to everyone in the society and friends in the press who have long been concerned with supporting the development of China's auto industry!
At present, with the rapid emergence of a new round of science and technology and the industrial revolution, new technologies such as new energy, new materials, and smart networking are being integrated with the automotive industry, triggering profound changes in the global automobile industry ecosystem and reshaping the competitive landscape. As a world automobile production and sales country, the automobile industry is in sync with the country's economic and social development and has entered a new phase of restructuring the structure to achieve high-quality development. This forum takes 'a new strategy for new trends in the new era—focusing on the high-quality development of the automotive industry' As the theme, it conforms to the trend of technology and industrial development and the common concerns of the global automotive industry, and will surely bring about a positive impact on the healthy development of the automotive industry.
Looking back at the past year, the global economic situation was complex and ever-changing. Under the guidance of the party’s guidelines and policies, China's auto industry has carried out transformation and upgrading in accordance with the overall deployment of the country’s industrial development, and has maintained a steady and healthy development of the industry. In 2017, automobile production and sales were separately Completed 29.02 million vehicles and 28.88 million vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 3.2% and 3% respectively. Production and sales volume hit new highs, ranking the first in the world for nine consecutive years. Meanwhile, industrial restructuring has been actively promoted, and independent innovation capability has been continuously enhanced. Technology, New Forms of Concentrated Development, New Energy Vehicles Have a Strong Momentum of Development. According to statistics, the annual production and sales of new energy vehicles have completed 790,000 and 780,000 vehicles, respectively, an increase of 53.8% and 53.3% year-on-year, respectively, becoming the development of new energy vehicles in the world. A strong force.
Today, as our country develops into a new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics, the Party and the country have planned a grand blueprint for China’s economic and social development in the new era. In accordance with the requirements for high quality development, we will develop intelligent industries, expand smart life, build smart society, and promote intelligence. Manufacturing, development of new energy vehicles, promotion of high quality development with a high level of openness, and determination of the key tasks for economic development in 2018. This not only points the way for the future development of China's auto industry, but also provides an opportunity for the global auto industry to further open and cooperate. .
Looking at the trajectory of the development of the global automotive industry, we clearly see the rapid development of modern information technologies represented by network technologies, the gradual maturation of new energy technologies represented by fuel cell technologies, and the intelligentization of automobiles. It has become an inevitable trend in the development of the automotive industry. It relies on technological innovation to promote industrial upgrading, providing more energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, smartly connected, safe and comfortable products, providing more efficient, efficient and thoughtful full-service, Has become the inevitable choice for countries to compete for development to realize the rebirth of the automotive industry.
During the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” and in the coming period, China’s auto industry will follow the new development concept in accordance with the country’s deployment requirements, adhere to the structural reform of the supply side as the main line, drive innovation as the core, and aim at building a strong automobile country, focusing on autonomy. Weak innovation capability, lack of key core technologies and lack of component support, outstanding problems of insufficient unbalanced levels of green manufacturing and smart manufacturing, focusing on green and smart, promoting quality and efficiency upgrading of China's auto industry, and accelerating access High-quality development stage. By promoting the deep integration of big data, network technology, artificial intelligence and industry, in the field of innovation leading, high-end consumption, green and low-carbon, sharing economy, modern supply chain, etc., cultivate new growth points and form new ones. Kinetic energy accelerates the optimization and upgrading of the traditional automotive industry. It is necessary to continuously promote the innovation system of integration of production, education and research, strengthen basic research, break through key common technologies, core technologies and cutting-edge innovation technologies, improve independent innovation capabilities and support capabilities of key components, and promote industries. The overall level is improved. We must continue to insist on 'introduction' and 'going out'. We will expand international production capacity and innovate technical cooperation to promote the formation of global investment, financing, production, trade, service networks, and opening up new structures to improve the competitiveness of China's auto industry in the international market. To speed up the development of new energy vehicles, intelligent network connected cars In order to respond to global climate change and environmental protection, we have been waiting for green high-end products, constantly benefiting from new manufacturing forces and sophisticated services to benefit consumers.
The China Automotive Forum is an exchange and cooperation platform jointly established by global automotive peers. It carries the hope and sustenance of automakers for the development of the industry. I believe that the 2018 Forum with the theme of a new era, new trends, and new strategies will become a collaboration for the automotive industry. The new opportunity will also be through further information communication and resource sharing to listen to insights from all aspects to explore the concept and path of high-quality development, achieve a new round of in-depth cooperation and mutual benefit, and jointly create a new automotive industry. New brilliance contributes!
Finally, I wish the forum a complete success! I wish the automotive companies prosperity!
