Beijing Automotive Group seizes the commanding heights of new energy vehicles

At the 14th China Beijing International Science and Technology Industry Expo recently held, Beijing Automotive Group displayed a full range of new energy vehicles, including Beiqi Futianou V pure electric passenger car, Oumac pure electric sanitation truck, and Didi pure electric vehicle. Cars, as well as the self-developed G306 pure electric vehicles, 301 pure electric vehicles and 301BS, etc. by Beiqi New Energy Company. In addition, the new energy core components, such as batteries, motors, and electronic controls, that also appeared at the same time attracted the attention of the crowd and demonstrated the Arctic's confidence and determination to develop a new energy industry.

Judging from the slogans and actions in recent years, BAIC New Energy and even BAIC believe that the new energy vehicles will instigate greater development space for BAIC. Vigorously promoting the marketization of new energy vehicles has broken the bottleneck in the development of the domestic auto industry in the new energy sector, vigorously promoted the application of new energy technologies and achieved mass production as soon as possible, so that the effects of energy-saving and emission reduction of new energy vehicles quickly benefit users. Promoting the industrialization of new energy vehicles into a virtuous circle has become an important “factory policy”. BAIC has also officially entered a brand new phase of commercial vehicle and passenger vehicle development. In the new energy automotive technology line, BAIC Group adheres to a diversification strategy, vigorously develops pure electric vehicles, and actively promotes hybrid vehicles. Based on the existing scale, BAIC Group will continue to advance toward the direction of 'towards a comprehensive market and promote the industrialization of new energy vehicles.'

According to the “12th Five-Year” development plan of BAIC New Energy Automobile Company, Phase I (2011-2013) will build 40,000 vehicle production capacities in 228 mu of parks. Phase II (as of 2015), on the reserved 4,500 acres of development land, to build a total assembly, painting, welding three major processes, 150,000 vehicle production capacity, 200,000 sets of electronic control system capacity, 150,000 sets of electric drive New energy vehicle R&D and production base for system capacity.

Refining the new energy automobile market: sedan, micro-customer, special-purpose vehicle and passenger car

New energy sedan
Beiqi's new energy sedan "cluster" is mainly composed of Beiqi Futian series and Beiqi's own brand series. Of these, 50 Futian MiDi electric taxis have started trial operation in Yanqing since March 1, 2011. In the early days, there was a phenomenon of unstable battery operation under low temperature conditions. However, after the improvement, the operation was basically stable. Zhang Jihong, the Beijing Science and Technology Commission's deputy director, revealed that Yanqing will add another 100 vehicles to its electric taxi. However, the cost of the vehicle is as high as 350,000, which also puts it at a disadvantage before it hits the market.

In addition, BAIC New Energy has completed the mass production of 30 pure-electric cars Q60FB based on Saab vehicle technology platform and four models of pure electric cars based on Beiqi's own brands C30DB and M30RB, and delivered it to Beijing Public Security. Five units such as the system and first-time leasing are running.

Electric micro-passenger <br> On March 28 this year, BAIC's new micro-vehicle brand "Weiwang" and the first mini-vehicle BC306Z were officially released in Beijing, which indicates that Beijing Automotive Group Zhuzhou Branch (Yinxiang) is now the market for electric micro-cars In preparation for the 7th International Forum on Energy-saving and New Energy Vehicle Innovation and Development held recently, BAIC displayed its self-developed M30RB pure electric vehicle. The intervention has already entered the mini vehicle market in the “decline period”. I am afraid that it is not BAIC's “risk to invest in medicine” looking for growth. It should look at the small and medium-sized town markets with strong demand for micro-vehicles, and it will also help reduce the cost of electric vehicles.

New Energy Special Vehicle
In May of this year, Beiqi Foton Motor Co., Ltd. signed a total of 1,060 Futian pure electric sanitation vehicles with Beijing Hualin Special Vehicle Co., Ltd., Beijing Tianlutong Technology Co., Ltd. and Changsha Zoomlion Technology Development Co., Ltd. ( The procurement contract for chassis-containing products, despite having little impact on the company's 2011 profit, is the largest ever order for BAIC electric vehicles. The company is very excited, and in 2012, the electric cars needed by the Beijing municipality are needed. The number is about 4,000 vehicles, of which sanitation 2000, bus 1100, and rental 600. For Beiqi, which is a local company, it is almost all "in the bag."

New energy bus
In the new energy bus field, Beiqi has always been “covered” by Beiqi Foton, and Beiqi Futian Ouhui New Energy Bus Guangdong has officially started production, further consolidating Futian’s position in the new energy bus market and successfully entering the South China market. Since 2003, Foton Motor has started to take "new energy R&D and application" as the core strategy for corporate development, and has invested nearly 1 billion yuan in the development of new energy vehicles. As early as 2008, Futianou V hybrid bus was operated on three bus lines of the first bus in Guangzhou. However, the competition for new energy buses in Guangdong has become increasingly fierce. Beiqi Foton has also become more and more active in the South market.

The BAIC Group's new energy vehicle strategy has taken a long-term perspective from the start. By implementing the development path of high starting point, large investment, and the entire industry chain, BAIC Group has now become China's new energy vehicle with the most abundant technology routes and mastering the most comprehensive core technologies. "The largest domestic sales, the earliest and most mature market, and the most complete industrial chain." According to a report on a new energy vehicle made by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers last year, the BAIC Group’s new energy vehicle strength ranks first in the country’s major automotive groups. At present, it has become China's new energy vehicle industry with the most abundant technology routes, the most comprehensive core technology, the largest domestic sales, the most mature marketization, and the most complete industrial chain.
