Explosive news of automobile industry: China plans to ban fuel vehicles!

On September 9, at an automobile industry forum, Xin Guobin, Vice Minister of the Ministry of industry and information technology, revealed an explosive news: China has begun to study and formulate a timetable for banning the sale of traditional fuel vehicles, and will soon release the implementation of the dual point policy for energy vehicles. This is the first time that the Chinese government has made an official statement on the prohibition of fuel vehicles. Because some countries have already made similar timetables, the Ministry of industry and information technology's statement is unexpected and reasonable.

Before that, India, Norway, France and the UK have announced that they will gradually phase out fuel vehicles. Norway has set a deadline of 2025, India 2030, and the UK and France 2040. German Chancellor Angela Merkel also hinted in an interview last month that it is only a matter of time before fuel vehicles are banned in Germany. Although there is no federal policy in the United States, at least eight states have set relevant goals.

On the other hand, the auto giants have already heard the news. At present, almost all mainstream car companies are reducing their fuel vehicle business and developing new energy vehicles. The Volkswagen Group plans to provide about 1.5 million zero emission new energy vehicles to Chinese consumers by 2025; Volvo announced that its new models to be launched in 2019 will be equipped with electric motors; Toyota plans to stop selling internal combustion engines in 2050; in addition, the Renault Nissan Alliance, BMW, Ford and General Motors plan to develop electric vehicles in China

Which is the best new energy vehicle? Global energy pattern shuffle!

As we all know, it is the general trend that fuel vehicles will disappear completely and new energy vehicles will be on top. Compared with traditional fuel vehicles, new energy vehicles have many advantages: more environmental protection, cheaper electricity than fuel, better performance (Tesla), low maintenance cost... So "which is the best new energy vehicle technology"? The answer is China. Since 2009, the Chinese government has been providing financial subsidies for new energy vehicles. Today, China has not only maintained the world's largest production and sales volume in the field of new energy vehicles, but also ranked first in the world for two consecutive years, accounting for more than 50% of the global market.

At the same time, China's policy changes on new energy vehicles will also have an impact on the global energy pattern. At present, China is the second largest crude oil consumer and the first largest crude oil importer in the world. In 2016, China's net crude oil import volume was about 376 million tons, and its dependence on foreign crude oil has increased to 65.5%. In the future, if the "fuel vehicles" disappear completely, we will not only save hundreds of billions of dollars of oil import costs every year, but also improve the increasingly prominent energy security issues. At that time, the "big players" in the international energy market, such as Saudi Arabia, Russia and even the United States, want to sell oil to China to make money. It may not be as easy as it is now!
