New Energy Vehicles: From the Laboratory to the Market

On December 28th, there were three things happening in the Shahe Factory of Foton Motor: Beijing New Energy Automobile Design and Manufacturing Industrial Engineering Base awarded the license; Beijing Public Transport Group and Foton Motor signed 800 hybrid vehicle coach and chassis purchase agreements; Beijing New Energy Automobile Industry Alliance was announced. These three things added a bright color to the Chinese auto industry in 2008. It shows that China's new energy vehicles have taken an important step from the development stage to the commercialization stage.
How to realize commercialization of new energy vehicles is a common problem facing the world's automotive industry. The marketing of new energy vehicles in the United States, Europe, and Japan depends on the government’s large financial subsidies. However, China has not yet adopted such a policy of encouraging the consumption of new energy vehicles. This deficiency has led many companies to develop new energy vehicles for a long period of time in the “R&D stage” and cannot go to market. Even with government promotion, some vehicles have only taken a small step toward demonstration operations.
Without a market, new energy vehicles cannot be commercialized. Without commercialization, new energy vehicles will not be able to achieve great development. How to open up the market, Beiqi Futian has come up with a different way. They do not rely on the government to push, do not rely on the policy to help, find their own users, find the market. In April 2007, Foton Motor and Guangzhou FAW Bus Co., Ltd. conducted a hybrid bus demonstration on the Guangzhou Bus Line. After six months of trial operation, Guangzhou FAW Bus Company purchased 30 Futian hybrid buses at a time and invested large-scale commercial operations in the urban area of ​​Guangzhou. Not long ago, Foton Motor received large orders for more than 200 hybrid Euro V buses in the Guangzhou market.
When many new energy vehicles are still “waiting for the word”, Foton Motors has pushed the door of the market and occupied the leading position in the industry, making a crucial step for the commercialization and industrialization of China's new energy vehicles. The 800 hybrid bus contracts signed with the Beijing Public Transport Group have made the development of new energy vehicles in China reach a new stage of popularization and promotion. What can be predicted next is that, in the bidding for the demonstration project of the national “Ten Thousand Vehicles” new energy automobile led by the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Foton hybrid vehicle will also occupy a dominant position.
The completion of Futian New Energy Automobile Design and Manufacturing Industrial Engineering Base indicates that Foton Motor has mastered the core technologies of new energy vehicles and competed for the right to speak and take the initiative in the domestic and international new energy vehicle market. It shows that China's new energy vehicles represented by Foton Motor have formed mass production capacity, and new energy vehicles have begun to move from the laboratory to the market.
â–  News background The first license for the new energy automotive industry base On December 28, the signing ceremony for the Beijing New Energy Automobile Design and Manufacturing Industry Base Award and the New Energy Bus Purchase Agreement was held at Foton Motor. The Ministry of Science and Technology and the Beijing Municipal Government jointly awarded Futian Automobile the plaque for the Beijing New Energy Automobile Design and Manufacturing Industry Base.
At the signing ceremony, Beijing Bus Group and Foton Motor signed an agreement for the purchase of 800 vehicles and chassis for hybrid city buses. This is by far the largest purchase order for new energy vehicles in the country.
Xu Heyi, chairman of Beijing Auto Holding Co., Ltd. and chairman of Foton Motor Co., Ltd., initiated the call for the establishment of Beijing New Energy Automobile Industry Alliance. At present, more than a dozen companies such as the Beijing Public Transport Group, the Institute of Electrical Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and CITIC Guoan, as well as many famous universities like Tsinghua University and Beijing Institute of Technology, have joined the alliance.
It is reported that this industry alliance will be centered on Beijing's new energy design and manufacturing industry base. Apart from including key enterprises in the new energy field in Beijing, it will also widely absorb key enterprises in the national new energy field.
