BYD announces to enter a new era of car making. Chuanfu Wang said BYD must become a leader at the gateway to change.

On April 25th, the 15th Beijing Auto Show officially opened. In the context of the current sales of new energy vehicles, the new energy elements of this year's auto show are very obvious. The data shows that this year's Beijing Auto Show New Energy Exhibition has 174 vehicles, of which 124 are new energy vehicles exhibited by Chinese automakers.

Taking BYD as an example, at this Beijing Auto Show, new energy vehicles are the highlights of their participation. A total of new energy vehicles including the new generation of Tang DM, Qin Pro, and the latest concept car E-SEED are on display.

"Currently, the automotive industry is facing changes, and the electrification and intelligent network linkages have gradually turned from reality to reality. At the turning point in history, BYD has also fully entered the 'new era of making cars.'" At the auto show, BYD Chairman and President Chuanfu Wang said that BYD will always take change before the change.

"Daily Economic News" reporter learned that in 2017, although BYD's new energy vehicle sales ranked first in the industry, the gap between BAIC New Energy and SAIC New Energy and its sales has gradually decreased. For BYD, to maintain the status of the new energy vehicle market, further investment has become its key task.

Faced with this situation, BYD launched a strategic model at the Beijing Auto Show - a new generation of Tang. At the same time, new energy models such as Qin Pro, Song MAXDM version, Yuan EV360, and concept car E-SEED are also on display, ready for the next product update.

In addition to strengthening the product lineup, BYD is currently actively cooperating with partners and other companies. At this year's Beijing Auto Show, BYD and Daimler jointly created the Tengshi brand, which exhibited this year's heavyweight model, the Tengshi 500. The model was officially launched at the end of March this year and is the main sales model of the Tengshi brand.

In April this year, BYD and Changan Automobile signed a joint development cooperation framework agreement. In the future, the two sides will carry out in-depth cooperation in the field of new energy vehicles.

It is worth noting that the National Development and Reform Commission held a media meeting on “Developing a new negative list of foreign investment and opening up of the manufacturing industry”, clarifying that the automobile industry will implement a transitional period of opening and closing, and the foreign-invested ratio of new energy vehicles will be officially lifted this year.

In addition, according to the "double points" policy, starting from 2019, the relevant departments will officially begin to calculate the new energy points of each car company. Not only that, in terms of new energy subsidies, the policy has further improved the technical requirements of enterprises and forced the enterprises to accelerate technological upgrading. These are both opportunities and challenges for BYD, which is pushing new energy vehicles.

Although new energy is an important direction for the future development of the automotive industry, in the early stage of development, the impact of industrial policies is still huge. At present, the new energy market structure has not yet taken shape, in the industrial policy adjustment, whether BYD can continue to lead the industry, it remains to be seen.
