The theme of the forum was 'New Era, New Trends, New Strategy'. - Focus on the high-quality development of the automotive industry '. During the Forum, an interactive session was organized between the chairmen of automobile organizations of various countries. The executive vice chairman of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers and Chairman of the Organizing Committee Dong Yang made the interactive host. The guest invited was the German car. Dr. Thomas Meurers, Chief Representative of the China Association of Industrial Association Dr. Muriont, Tae-Nyen Kim, Kim Tae-Jae, Automotive Industry Association of Korea, Gianmarco Giorda, Director of Italian Automobile Industry Association, Megumi Mai, Vice President of Japan Automobile Industry Association, Seiichi Nagatsuka Sugato Sen, deputy secretary-general of the Indian Automobile Industry Association, and five guests, interacted with each other on the theme of the new development of foreign auto industry and the proposal for the development of China's auto industry.
Dong Yang: We started with the first question. The fourth one is the vice chairman of the Japan Automobile Industry Association, Mr. Yong Yong Chengyi. We asked the same question. Please tell us about the development of the automobile industry in Japan in the past year, especially some new ones. the trend of.
Seiichi Nagatsuka, Vice Chairman, Japan Automobile Industry Association
Seiichi Nagatsuka, Vice Chairman, Japan Automobile Industry Association This time I am very happy to be able to share with you the situation in the Japanese automotive industry. The Japanese domestic market has achieved continuous sales growth in the past two years, with sales of 5.2 million units in 2017 and 5.18 million at the end of the year. There are also some negative impacts. Now we face the challenge that the government expects to implement the second-level tax on the 11th next year. Now the auto industry communicates with the government and hopes to introduce some policies to ease this phenomenon. There are two other aspects, one is automation, the other is Regarding the emphasis on environmental policies, automation technologies include the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence. This is different from the technologies that traditional car companies have to study. We also need to study the impact on society, how to ensure road safety, and so on. This month The government will implement automated driving tests and hope to use the autopilot function by 2020. The Japanese government's joint regulatory agency is now making some proposals to discuss, and we hope that in the future we will be able to make a series of regulatory rules for autopilot. .
There is also an emphasis on environmental policies. New energy vehicles have unique advantages in environmental protection. The Japanese government hopes that 50% of the next shopping vehicles will be sold, and 60% of sales will come from new energy vehicles. We hope this target can be completed by 2035. This year the Japanese government will also develop a standard for passenger cars after 2020. It will pay more attention to the development of clean energy vehicles and electric vehicles. We hope to introduce corresponding policies next year. I personally believe that not only the development of technology, but also the road Infrastructure, public acceptance of automated driving, and public awareness are also issues that we need to address so that we can integrate industry, industry, and social forces to make the automotive industry the best. Thank you.
Dong Yang: Thank you. Finally, I would like to ask Mr. To Sen, Deputy Secretary General of the Indian Automobile Industry Association. It is still the same question. The development and new trends of the Indian auto industry in the recent year.
Sugato Sen, Deputy Secretary-General, Indian Automobile Industry Association Sugarto Sen
Sugato Sen, deputy secretary-general of Indian Automobile Industry Association, Sugato Sen: In fact, in recent years, India has recovered from a relatively low level and developed to a better level. We have seen the performance of the Indian market in the past year, different models, different market segments have increased. The trend, including passenger cars, we found that users prefer to buy SUVs, which accounted for 20%. We also saw some challenges in India, such as 2016, when the overall economic environment and monetary policy led people to not Willing to buy, the consumption power is greatly reduced, and it also has an impact on the consumption of cars.
The second economic department did some promotion, including new energy, including the taxi system. The taxi system in India is very complicated. The government department hopes to promote the application of clean energy in the market through this aspect.
In addition, government departments are now preparing to introduce new policies. India's standard transition from O4 to O5. We hope to achieve O6 standards by 2020. We hope that by 2030, India’s public transport will be guaranteed 100% electric drive, and Indian market car prices. There is also a certain decline, so the overall signal is still positive, thanks.
Dong Yang: Thank you. The following is the second question. I would like to first ask Mr. Murrent to the recommendations of the Chinese automobile industry and the Chinese government. Do you have any suggestions for the Chinese auto industry, including the policies of the Chinese government?
Dr. Thomas Meurers, Chief Representative of the German Automobile Industry Association China Office
Dr. Thomas Meurers, Chief Representative of the German Automobile Industry Association China Representative Office: In fact, I would like to share with you two main points: 1. To encourage competition; 2. To have an international perspective.
It has been precisely because the German market has encouraged competition. Therefore, these brands have always optimized their performance and hoped to improve the experience of drivers and passengers. This kind of experience not only brings improvements in technology but also brings The optimization of the product. I believe this is also reflected in China. Including this show we see a lot of brands. I think we still have to encourage competition. The competition will not lose its original advantages, and it will make the company more quickly. Finding your own market position, this is also a new trend, serving the automotive market.
The second has an international perspective. Although China’s market is very large, if we want to better bring China’s products to the world, we need not only products that meet the preferences of different countries, we also need to develop products and With international standards, I hope that more and more Chinese counterparts will make a sound in international counterparts.
Dong Yang: I am very grateful to Mr. Murongte for his very direct and very contentable suggestions. Following Mr. Kim Tae-Nian, what advice do you have on the development of China's auto industry, and in particular, what is the proposal of the Chinese government's policy?
Korean Automobile Industry Association Executive Tae-Nyen Kim Kim Tae-Nye
Korean Automobile Industry Association Executive Tae-Nyen Kim Kim Tae-nian: In fact, the question you asked is more difficult to answer in my opinion. I would like to focus on introducing government policy recommendations. From the yesterday’s meeting to the part of the General Assembly Forum this morning, I saw that China and South Korea have many similarities. I mentioned earlier that South Korea's reform of the taxation system has hit the interests of depots. We need to take into account the fact that there may be some conflicts of interest between the government and industry, companies, and consumers in the market. Everyone has different focuses. Before the introduction of the Korean policy, I also introduced that consumers do not buy it. Many of us previously said Tesla, which is a strong part of the market, but it is not yet profitable. South Korea has also introduced an increase in electric vehicles. Subsidy, etc. However, the proportion of new energy vehicle passenger vehicles in South Korea is still relatively small, only 1%. The Korean government is very ambitious to launch a lot of policies for environmental protection and energy conservation, but the effect is not good. I think the situation in China Similar to the situation in South Korea, we need more cooperation and exchange to ensure the future of the automotive industry.
Dong Yang: It seems that the situation in South Korea, the situation in various countries, the wishes of the government and the reality of the industry are different. We are grateful to Mr. Kim for his wonderful suggestions. The third question, ask the old Italian colleague Jiang Maijun, What are the recommendations of the Chinese automobile industry and the Chinese government's policies?
Gianmarco Giorda, Director of the Italian Automobile Industry Association
Director of the Italian Automobile Industry Association Jiang Maijun: I strongly agree with the issue of competitiveness and global vision just mentioned. I will not repeat it. I would like to briefly talk about the proposals for the Chinese automobile industry and suggestions for government policies. China still needs to further promote corresponding trade support. Policies, including the corresponding taxes, and the reduction of tariffs on imported vehicles. The second point is that in-vehicle insurance is a project that can continue to promote, can improve road safety, and can reduce consumer insurance costs. Third, China There is a unique advantage that it can introduce independent policies. The policies of traffic jams and air pollution in different cities like Italy are different. A city to another city faces different problems with different road regulations and emission standards. This caused some confusion. The fourth point was playing a small advertisement and I hope to see more Italian and Chinese manufacturers cooperate. This auto show saw many Italian and Chinese brands, including new models and designs, and I also saw Chinese designers cooperate with Italian depots. We have unique advantages in these areas. Better Dynamic development of the industry.
Dong Yang: I am very grateful to Jiang Maixi for the answer. I believe that the Italian auto industry and the Chinese auto industry will further develop. Thank you for applause. The fourth question would like to ask Mr. Yong Yi Chengyi, your suggestions for the Chinese auto industry and China. The government policy recommendations.
Seiichi Nagatsuka, Vice Chairman, Japan Automobile Industry Association I would like to respond to the Italian colleagues. I think I still hope to see China have more supportive policies on foreign investment and import tariffs. Besides, I don’t have too many suggestions for the Chinese government. I think the Chinese government is Promoting the automotive industry has been very good, and it also brings Chinese car companies to the world. Sharing my two ideas, it is very important to unify technical standards and certification systems in the world. We hope to uphold the principles of the 1958 agreement for the entire automotive industry. The second point is that the stability of the policy is very important. For vehicle manufacturers, there is a long time from design to production. Once the policy changes, it will affect the production efficiency of the depot. Whether it is China or In other countries of the world, there are enough buffers for the introduction of major policy changes.
Dong Yang: Japanese friends are Japanese colleagues. He said that the Chinese government has been very good, but made two very key recommendations. First, it is necessary to unify standards, and do not split the standard under the trend of unified standards. A second policy is to be able to achieve long-term stability and predictability. The company can do a good job. Thank you very much. Finally, we asked my old friend Mr. Suga Tosen, Deputy Secretary-General of the Indian Automobile Industry Association, to advise the Chinese auto industry and government policies.
Sugato Sen, deputy secretary general of the Indian Automobile Industry Association: I think the Chinese government has done a very good job in the entire industry. It can be said that supporting government policies rank first in the world. I would like to take this opportunity to encourage Chinese car companies, as well as spare parts and vehicle manufacturers. We can continue to target the Indian market. There are two Chinese companies in India. I find that the entire Indian market is completely unsaturated. I hope to see more Chinese companies can pay attention to the Indian market. We also hope to cooperate with China and India. It can improve the technology and production efficiency of Indian automotive industry.
Dong Yang: Thanks to Suga Toson. Just now, five of them have made very, very good suggestions to the Chinese automobile industry and the Chinese government, so that I would like to thank them for their advice and share with them an ancient story. This small story is called Cao. During the 2000-2000 years ago, there was a big country called Qi in Shandong, a small country called Lu, and Qi State sent troops to attack the country. A North Korean from the private sector had to make suggestions to the government. Many people Say, the government has a lot of big officials. What advice do you give? He said no, government officials made suggestions, and I have to make some suggestions. Finally, Mr. Lu made a very good proposal. Xiaoguo Luguo defeated Qi. Yesterday at the end of the closed-door meeting, I also talked about the same issue. We will think that the government’s policies are not realistic or suitable for the industry from the industry’s point of view. In response to this situation, my suggestion is that everyone should not Just mention the questions and propose suggestions for solving the problems. Only in this way can the policies become better. Thank you very much for the wonderful introductions and suggestions of the five guests on stage and thank you for being so pungent. , Such a long time to listen carefully, thank you.
