Hybrid power will become the future trend of the automotive market

Recently, the topic of hybrid cars has once again become the focus of discussion in the industry. Honda Shigei, the head of Honda Motor Co., Ltd. and Hiroshi Shigeki, general manager of Honda China, released heavy news that the Honda Hybrid will be made domestically within three years. Toyota China also announced that the core components of the hybrid vehicle will be made in 2015. The cost of each Prius will be reduced by 20,000 yuan. More importantly, Minister of Science and Technology Wan Gang said that hybrid vehicles are easier to achieve marketization and should be accelerated.

The Ministry of Science and Technology has been leading the promotion and application of pure electric vehicles in China before, but in fact, it is difficult to cross the stage of hybrid power in the development of new energy vehicles. Although there are a variety of new energy technologies on the market, from a practical perspective, it is still the hybrid technology that is most likely to be popular within 10 years. Both hydrogen and fuel cell vehicles are still too far away from us. distant.

In fact, the "Energy-saving and New Energy Vehicle Plan" promulgated last year proposed the "pure-electric drive" as the main strategic orientation of new energy vehicles and also the promotion and popularization of the technology of non-plug-in hybrid vehicles. In this plan, it is also proposed that by 2015, the average fuel consumption of passenger vehicles will be reduced to 6.9 liters per 100 kilometers, and will be reduced to a 100-kilometre 5.0-liter target in 2020, in order to buffer the accelerating popularity of cars and conflicts between energy and environmental crises. A number of industry-leading authoritative experts all believe that to achieve the 5.0-liter fuel consumption target in 2020, it must rely on the popularity of hybrid vehicles.

Song Jian, Dean of the Institute of Automotive Technology at Tsinghua University, points out that pure electric vehicles may not be able to achieve breakthroughs within 10 years, and hybrid power is a technology that can reduce fuel consumption by half on an existing basis. This is a vehicle that consumes nearly 55% of the total fuel consumption. The industry can solve the urgent problem.

Previously, there was a perception in the industry that in the absence of mature hybrid vehicle products in domestic auto makers, the policy to increase subsidies will only allow Toyota, Honda and other international car companies that have leading technologies and products to benefit. However, some experts in the industry believe that national policies should focus on long-term strategies. The introduction of a policy for car companies with mature products will result in some small profits at a stage, but it depends on the big aspects to promote the development of the national energy-saving industry. It is the most important. Moreover, after several years of development, many domestic independent car companies already have relatively mature hybrid technologies. Therefore, in this context, the state can issue relevant policies in due course to encourage the development of hybrid vehicles.
