(I) necessity of implementation of this investment project

1. In the context of accelerating the realization of the “double carbon” goal, the new energy vehicle and energy storage industry will usher in broad development space

In recent years, global ecological and environmental problems have become increasingly prominent, and global warming and other problems need to be solved urgently. Governments all over the world have proposed to accelerate the transformation to clean energy. China has put forward the goal of peaking carbon emissions by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060; The EU has issued new energy development measures such as the European climate act, requiring member states to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% in 2030 compared with 1990, and achieve EU wide carbon neutrality in 2050; The new U.S. government announced its return to the Paris Agreement, set the goal of zero emission vehicle sales accounting for 50% of the total new vehicle sales in 2030, and promised to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.

As an important field of carbon emission reduction, the transformation of transportation industry, power generation industry and industrial production to new energy is the general trend. In the transportation industry, emission reduction will mainly rely on the improvement of electrification rate of vehicles and other means of transportation. In the power generation industry, the proportion of photovoltaic, wind power and other new energy power generation will increase rapidly, and energy storage, as its important supporting facilities, will also usher in rapid growth. Energy storage technology with low cost, long life, high safety and high energy density will be the development goal of the energy storage industry. In the field of industrial production, at present, it mainly depends on coal, oil and natural gas for energy supply. In order to achieve carbon emission reduction, the application scenarios of electrification in industrial production will continue to increase. With the increasingly clear development trend of clean energy in the whole society, the new energy vehicle and energy storage industry will usher in broad development space.

2. The new energy vehicle industry has ushered in unprecedented development opportunities, and the global power battery industry is about to enter the “TWH” era

At present, a new round of global scientific and technological revolution and industrial reform are booming. The integration of automobile and energy, transportation, information and communication and other fields has accelerated, and profound changes have taken place in the form of automobile products, transportation mode, energy consumption structure and social operation mode. The new energy vehicle industry is facing unprecedented development opportunities.

According to GGII data, the global sales volume of new energy vehicles in 2020 was 3.198 million, the average annual compound growth rate from 2015 to 2020 was 34.5%, and the global vehicle electrification penetration rate also increased from 0.8% in 2015 to 4.1% in 2020. In recent years, the development of Shanxi Guoxin Energy Corporation Limited(600617) vehicle industry has made remarkable achievements, and the scale of new energy vehicle production and marketing market has ranked first in the world for many years. According to the data of China Automobile Association, in 2020, the sales volume of Shanxi Guoxin Energy Corporation Limited(600617) vehicles was 1.367 million, with a year-on-year increase of 13.4%; From January to June 2021, the sales volume of new energy vehicles was 1.206 million, with a year-on-year increase of 207.0%, and the penetration rate of new energy vehicles reached 9.4%.

The growth of new energy vehicle industry has effectively driven the rapid development of power battery industry. According to GGII data, the global power battery shipment in 2020 was 186gwh, with a year-on-year increase of 45.3%; From January to June 2021, the global power battery shipment was 145gwh, with a year-on-year increase of 163.6%. The trend of new energy vehicles replacing fuel vehicles is becoming more and more obvious. With the significant growth of global penetration of new energy vehicles, power battery shipments will enter the “TWH” era in the next few years. The concentration of the battery industry has increased rapidly and the power of the battery industry has been further improved.

3. The deepening of automotive electronization promotes the growth of FPC market demand

Power battery, electric drive and electronic control systems are the core components of new energy vehicles, and the proportion of automobile electronic cost in the value of the whole vehicle continues to increase. Especially with the commercial application of 5g technology, the trend of automobile networking is significant. Intellectualization, electrification and networking will deepen the degree of automobile electronization. With the development of electric and intelligent vehicles, the advantages of FPC in bending, weight reduction and high degree of automation are further reflected. The consumption of FPC in the field of vehicle is increasing, and its applications cover power batteries, lamps, central control display, BMS / VCU / MCU and other control systems, automatic driving assistance systems and other related fields. According to the data of Zheshang Securities Co.Ltd(601878) Research Report in September 2021, it is estimated that the global and medium Shanxi Guoxin Energy Corporation Limited(600617) automobile FPC market space is expected to reach 14-24 billion yuan and 7.2-12 billion yuan respectively in 2030.

4. The trend of power battery FPC replacing copper wire harness is clear

The acquisition line is an important component required by the BMS system of new energy vehicles. It realizes the functions of monitoring the voltage and temperature of new energy power battery cells, connecting data acquisition and transmission, with its own overcurrent protection function, protecting the battery cells of vehicle power batteries, automatic disconnection in case of abnormal short circuit, etc.

Previously, the power battery collection line of new energy vehicles adopted the traditional copper wire harness scheme. The conventional wire harness is made of plastic surrounded by copper wire. When connecting the battery pack, each wire harness reaches an electrode. When there are many current signals in the power battery pack, many wire harnesses are required to cooperate, resulting in large space occupation. In the pack assembly process, the traditional harness relies on workers to fix the port on the battery pack manually, with a low degree of automation. In addition, in terms of current technology, the capacity of the battery is basically at the limit, and the size of the battery pack is almost fixed. Therefore, there are restrictions on how many batteries the battery pack can hold, and how to maximize the use of space is also the key research direction.

Compared with copper wire harness, FPC has outstanding advantages in safety, lightweight and regular layout due to its high integration, ultra-thin thickness and ultra flexibility. In addition, FPC has thin thickness and customized battery pack structure. It can be grabbed and placed directly on the battery pack by mechanical arm during assembly. It has a high degree of automation and is suitable for large-scale mass production, The trend of FPC replacing copper wire harness is clear. In the long run, sensing, control and other chips and signal sampling lines can be integrated into FPC, which can save space and maximize product stability, so as to further promote the development of vehicle FPC market.
