At the event site, Changzhou Jintan District Industrial Innovation and development fund was officially established, with a total fund of 10 billion yuan.
to develop new energy vehicles, we should pay attention to all links of the industrial chain
Under the guidance of global carbon peak and carbon neutralization goals, new energy has become an important direction for the future development of the automotive industry. According to the latest forecast given by China Automobile Industry Association, it is expected that the total sales volume of Chinese vehicles will reach 27.5 million in 2022, of which the sales volume of new energy vehicles is expected to be 5 million, a year-on-year increase of 47% and the market share is expected to reach 18%.
Wei Haili, deputy general manager of new wealth, said in her speech that compared with the traditional automobile industry chain, the industrial chain of new energy enterprises is more complex, involves more fields and needs more capital injection support. China’s successful experience in promoting new energy vehicles tells us that cultivating such an emerging pillar industry with trillion units, high difficulty in technological innovation and strong radiation capacity requires not only the mutual mobilization and positive action of upstream and downstream enterprises, but also the joint efforts of capital from all walks of life. It is hoped that through the holding of this annual meeting, we can create multi-party cooperative operation, return to the origin and original intention of financial services to the real economy, and jointly promote the healthy development of China’s automobile industry and even China’s economy.
