In the global new energy passenger vehicle sales ranking in the first half of 2018, BYD ranked first with 71,270 new energy vehicle sales. As the first domestic auto company with a new energy production and sales scale of over 360,000 vehicles, BYD continues to lead the new energy vehicle market, and breaks through the "double-limit" cities and spreads across the country.
It is understood that on August 6, 2018, BYD released a sales report for July 2018. The express report showed that BYD sold 37,315 new cars in July. Among them, the sales of new energy vehicles surpassed that of fuel vehicles, reaching 18,793, an increase of 10% from the previous month. Passenger cars and commercial vehicles were sold 18,203 and 590, respectively. From January to July this year, BYD sold a total of 93,677 new energy vehicles, and a total of 89,473 and 4,204 passenger cars and commercial vehicles were sold. Why BYD's sales of new energy vehicles can maintain stable and high-speed growth and rank among the best for a long time? Electric Vehicle Resource Network will analyze.
Urgent development needs BYD is committed to research and development of electric vehiclesChina has a high urgency to develop electric vehicles. Why do you say that?
First, the oil problem needs to be solved. As a country that lacks oil and gas, but ranks second in oil consumption in the world, our country is extremely dependent on imports. This is very unfavorable for our country's future energy development or economic development. CNPC Economics and Technology Research Institute released the "2017 Domestic and Foreign Oil and Gas Industry Development Report", showing that my country's oil imports and foreign dependence reached a record high in 2017, of which oil imports have reached 396 million tons, and foreign dependence has reached 67 ．4%. Vigorously developing new energy vehicles and reducing the production and sales of fuel vehicles will help my country's energy consumption structure shift from a high dependence on oil to power consumption, and will help solve various problems caused by my country's fuel shortage. The Sino-US trade war has made the Chinese soberly aware of their two major weaknesses: oil and chip security.
Second, environmental protection, address air pollution, and improve the global climate. Smog is one of the most serious environmental problems in China. Motor vehicle exhaust is the main source of pollution in the city, contributing as much as 40-60% to PM2.5, especially diesel vehicles. Diesel vehicles in China account for 7.8% of all vehicles, but their emissions account for more than 76% of urban PM10 or PM2.5. The main culprit of air pollution, especially urban air pollution, is exhaust gas. In addition, exhaust emissions can also cause climate change issues such as global warming. Vigorously developing electric vehicles and reducing the use of fuel vehicles can reduce vehicle exhaust emissions and naturally improve air pollution and global climate change issues.
Third, the only way to become a powerful automobile nation. Our country is not a powerful automobile country. After more than 100 years of traditional fuel vehicle manufacturing lags behind Western countries, electric vehicles have just appeared, and the starting point of each country is similar, which means that my country has the opportunity to get rid of the previous fuel vehicles that have been following other automobile powers The posture of subsequent development even surpassed them in one fell swoop and became the global leader in electric vehicles. At present, my country’s electric vehicle industry chain has become increasingly mature, and my country also has advantages in battery motor electronic control technology and resources. We can rely on vigorous development of electric vehicles to bypass the two mountains of engine and gearbox and rely on my country. Increasingly powerful electric vehicle technology has realized the curve overtaking of other existing automobile powerhouses.
It is reported that BYD has been committed to the research and development of electric vehicles and the development of its business since 2003. Nine years ago, BYD launched the first electric bus, which was questioned by many people at that time, "Will it catch fire? Will it explode? Will the battery life be reduced in half a year?" and so on. In the end, BYD used data and actions to prove that its electric buses meet all the requirements of public transportation vehicles, and launched the "Urban Bus Electrification Strategy", which later became the Shenzhen strategy and upgraded to a national strategy. In 2015, BYD launched the "7+4" all-market strategy, determined to carry out electrification to the end. In 2017, China's electric vehicle sales accounted for 50% of the world's proportion, and it is predicted that this proportion can still be maintained this year. In the first and second quarters of this year, it is obvious that the pace of electric vehicle development is accelerating. China will fully enter the era of electric vehicles, and BYD firmly seized this opportunity.
Layout of power battery capacity to accelerate expansion and actively seek cooperationIn addition to the development of electric vehicles, BYD has not slackened its power battery layout. BYD President Wang Chuanfu once said that batteries are the core business of BYD’s strategic direction and will be listed independently in the future. Batteries are materials science, and materials science is a pillar science, just like the pillars of a house. The battery is developed from material science, allowing everyone to have a deeper understanding of technology, because it is a connection technology from material to application. The battery is BYD's very core product and the cornerstone of its development.
It is understood that on October 24, 2016, BYD, Qinghai Salt Lake Co., Ltd. and Excellent Investment jointly invested 500 million yuan in the upstream raw material lithium carbonate project, and built a lithium carbonate project with an annual output of 30,000 tons. On October 29, 2016, Qinghai BYD launched a power lithium battery project with an annual output of 10GWh and a power battery material production and recycling project with an annual output of 20,000 tons in Xining. In November 2016, BYD's supporting project with an annual output of 6000 tons of lithium hexafluorophosphate settled in Xining, Qinghai. On June 27, 2018, BYD’s power battery plant with an annual capacity of 24GWh was officially off the assembly line in Nanchuan Industrial Park, Xining, Qinghai. After it is put into production, it will be the world’s largest power battery plant. BYD has set up a big situation in Qinghai. In addition to establishing the world's largest power battery factory in Nanchuan, Xining, BYD has also established a lithium salt mining and processing industrial park in Golmud, Qinghai, and built battery raw materials in Haidong, Qinghai. Industrial parks, etc. The total investment exceeds 20 billion yuan. It is expected that a complete battery industry chain will be established by 2020. By then, BYD's total power battery production capacity is expected to reach 60GWh. In addition to its own capacity planning and layout, BYD also actively cooperates with other companies. In July 2018, BYD and Changan Automobile signed a strategic cooperation agreement in Shenzhen to jointly establish a joint venture company with the production and sales of new energy power batteries as their main business. The Electric Vehicle Resource Network also learned that Georgia and the capital city of Atlanta each announced their zero-emission bus procurement contracts, and BYD became one of the suppliers of the two contracts at the same time.
While BYD is vigorously developing electric vehicles, it has also not forgotten to lay out the power battery industry chain and advance both lines. The reason why its new energy vehicle sales can occupy the top spot in China and even the world is inseparable from its clear and long-term vision and layout. Domestic new energy vehicle manufacturing forces are increasing, but whether companies can survive in the cruel and fierce new energy vehicle market still needs time to verify.
