AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)08/02 Report--

Since entering 2020, the domestic automobile market has experienced an unprecedented decline under the attack of the emerging new crown virus. In order to quickly boost the recovery of the auto market, many previous policies to stimulate, has achieved a rebound in the auto market for several consecutive months. However, with the advent of the market "off-season", many people hope to introduce a series of stimulus policies to stabilize market performance this year.

Although July car production and sales data has not yet been disclosed, but according to the passenger association recently announced the first four weeks of sales data show that the average daily retail sales of passenger cars increased by 5% year-on-year, compared with the same period in June decreased by 5%; Passenger car manufacturers wholesale sales increased by 8% year-on-year, compared with the same period in June decreased by 11%; Although the entire car market is basically still year-on-year growth in sales, but with the arrival of the off-season month-on-month sales decreased, August or will be more obvious.

According to the association, the consumption environment changed relatively greatly at the beginning of July, and there was more rain in the college entrance examination season, so the trend of the automobile market was not strong. Moreover, July is the off-season of the automobile market. The hot weather has greatly reduced the passenger flow of the automobile exhibition hall. The shipment volume of manufacturers in July is also significantly lower than that of the previous month, with a drop of 11%.

This is especially true in the new energy market, where sales of new energy vehicles have fallen for 11 consecutive months since July last year. In the first half of the year, only 299,000 new energy passenger vehicles were insured, nearly 40% lower than the same period last year. But in the view of the Association, the decline in the new energy market is coming to an end.

With the announcement and notice of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other departments in April, the subsidy and purchase tax reduction for new energy vehicles will be extended for two years. A series of support measures have also been introduced in the purchase and use links.

On July 28, Chongqing City Development and Reform Commission jointly issued "Several Measures on Stabilizing and Expanding Automobile Consumption"(hereinafter referred to as "Measures") jointly with Chongqing City Finance Bureau and other departments. The Measures clearly state that the promotion and application of new energy vehicles should be increased from various aspects.

Speed up the construction of charging piles. Continue to implement charging infrastructure construction subsidies, and grant 400 yuan/kW construction subsidies to public and special DC charging facilities meeting the conditions related to installed power and pile number of single station within the whole city; grant 100 yuan/kW construction subsidies to non-operating special AC charging facilities in parking lots of Party and government organs and their affiliated public institutions meeting the conditions related to installed power and pile number of single station.

On July 30, the Shenzhen Municipal Bureau of Commerce issued a notice on organizing the implementation of the "old-for-new" car purchase incentive implementation enterprise declaration work to encourage green consumption and support consumers to buy more environmentally friendly cars.

According to the policy requirements, the new vehicles purchased must be fuel cars or new energy cars with emission standards above National VI (included in the Catalogue of Recommended Models for Promotion and Application of New Energy Vehicles issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology), and small and miniature passenger cars conforming to relevant regulations of the Ministry of Public Security. In terms of reward standard, if the car sales price is less than 300,000 yuan, a one-time reward will be given according to 3000 yuan/vehicle; if the car sales price is more than 300,000 yuan (inclusive), a one-time reward will be given according to 5000 yuan/vehicle.

It is worth noting that this award can be superimposed with the application of financial subsidies for several measures taken by the Municipal Development and Reform Commission to promote the promotion and application of new energy vehicles. According to the regulations, the purchased vehicles must be cars or new energy vehicles with emission standards above National VI, and must be new cars at the same time.

On July 30, the General Office of Henan Province Government issued Several Policies and Measures on Accelerating the Construction of Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure (hereinafter referred to as "Measures"). Henan Province took the lead in implementing provincial financial awards and subsidies for charging facility operation enterprises in China. The amount of electricity entitled to awards and subsidies for each pile shall not be higher than 100,000 kilowatt-hours every year, and the average subsidy for each pile shall be 3000-5000 yuan per year according to preliminary calculation.

Thanks to various measures to stimulate, Cui Dongshu, secretary-general of the Association, believes that although the new energy vehicle market in June is still 34.9% negative growth year-on-year, the average monthly growth rate of new energy vehicles in the second half of July is expected to maintain positive growth. From August, driven by the double growth of independent and joint ventures, it is expected that sales in August will achieve double-digit growth.

Li Jinyong, executive president of the Automobile Dealers Chamber of Commerce of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce and chairman of the New Energy Automobile Special Committee, also has the same evaluation. After experiencing the downturn of the new energy market in the first half of the year, the new energy passenger car market will maintain an upward trend in the second half of the year.

At the same time, the heads of many mainstream new energy passenger vehicle enterprises expressed optimism about the new energy market in the second half of the year, believing that China's new energy vehicles are about to usher in a new growth cycle.

According to the recent teleconference held by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, it is also clear that traditional bulk consumption should be stabilized, efforts should be made to replace new energy vehicles in public areas such as public transport and taxis, and activities of new energy vehicles going to the countryside should be carried out.
