unlike the comprehensive new energy development in the past few years, this year's chengdu auto show showed a trend of oil, electric and hybrid vehicles.
saic volkswagen, which has been promoting id series electric vehicles in the past few years, launched the pure fuel passat pro and tuyue new model at this chengdu auto show; bmw, which used to participate in the auto show with a full range of new energy products, launched the x3 long-wheelbase model in chengdu for the first time; toyota brought fuel products such as the new prado and the new avalon. as for independent brands, changan automobile released the replacement model of cs75 plus, which is expected to be officially launched in september; chery started pre-sale of tiggo 8 plus.
in addition to pure fuel products, hybrid products equipped with internal combustion engines are also the focus of intensive layout of various automakers. at the chengdu auto show, avita launched the avita 07 model, which will adopt a dual-power layout of extended-range hybrid and pure electric; changan mazda launched the ez-6 model based on the epa platform, which will also adopt a dual-power layout of extended-range and pure electric; in addition, chery, byd, etc. have also greatly expanded the matrix of their hybrid products and penetrated into various market segments.
although new energy and electrification are the major trends in industry development, judging from the layout of various car companies and market trends, it will be difficult for internal combustion engines to disappear from the chinese market in a short period of time.
"whether it is extended-range, hybrid or pure fuel, they all have engines. fuel vehicles or fuel-powered vehicles still have a long development cycle." gao fei, executive vice general manager of chery brand marketing center, said in an interview with the first financial reporter that fuel vehicles will definitely have their own market share, and there is still demand for fuel vehicles in many countries and regions in the world and in many places in china.
judging from the overall trend of the current market, hybrid models equipped with internal combustion engines have shown a growth rate far exceeding that of pure electric vehicles. according to the data from the china passenger car association, the wholesale sales of pure electric vehicles in july this year were 505,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 0.9%; the sales of plug-in hybrid (including extended-range) vehicles were 440,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 83.2%; from january to july, the wholesale sales of pure electric vehicles were 3.23 million units, a year-on-year increase of 6.9%; the sales of hybrid vehicles in the same period were 2.361 million units, a year-on-year increase of 84.6%.
from january to july this year, the domestic market penetration rates of hybrid, pure electric and traditional fuel vehicles were 18%, 25.1% and 56.9% respectively. among them, the market penetration rate of hybrid vehicles increased by 6.1 percentage points compared with the whole of last year.
some executives of auto companies also believe that by around 2030, the market structure of hybrid, pure electric and fuel vehicles will be 1:1:1. from the current situation, hybrid vehicles still have a large room for growth. based on the good market prospects of hybrid vehicles and the continued market demand for pure fuel vehicles, internal combustion engines are still expected to appear in more than 50% of new cars.
however, it should be pointed out that, judging from the current situation, chinese automakers are much faster than overseas automakers in terms of layout and response in the field of hybrid vehicles. at present, mainstream chinese automakers including byd, geely, chery, saic, dongfeng and others have launched efficient hybrid systems, and the comprehensive driving range of hybrid products of some chinese brands has exceeded 2,000 km with full charge and full fuel.
however, most european and american automakers still build products based on the old p2 hybrid architecture, and their fuel consumption and power system efficiency are difficult to match the hybrid technology of chinese automakers. the newly developed high-efficiency hybrid systems of relevant automakers have not yet been put into use or the products have not yet been popularized. japanese automakers, which used to have mastered the technological high ground in the hybrid field, have been slow to launch products to cope with the new competitive situation. most hybrid models are still built on fuel vehicle platforms. the intelligence level, pure electric range, total range and even fuel consumption of related products have been overtaken by chinese automakers such as byd and geely.
