As the automotive industry enters a new phase of intelligent competition, key technologies are placing greater demands on enterprises’ R&D and implementation capabilities. At the 2025 New Energy Intelligent Vehicle High-Quality Development Forum held on July 15 (hereinafter referred to as "the Forum"), several industry experts pointed out that the trend of intelligentization is calling for new types of collaboration across the automotive value chain, prompting companies to explore innovative modes and mechanisms of deeper cooperation.Wang Jianqiang, Dean and Professor at the School of Vehicle and Mobility at Tsinghua University, stated at the Forum that due to China’s complex traffic scenarios, enhancing road traffic safety has become a national priority — and intelligent vehicle technology is a key tool in achieving this goal.“Lower-level intelligent vehicles have already achieved significant market penetration and large-scale industrial application,” said Wang. “However, as we move toward higher levels of autonomous driving, there are still many technological challenges that need to be overcome.”Intelligent technology has become one of the core battlegrounds in the automotive industry. Zhang Yongwei, Vice Chairman and Secretary-General of the China EV100, noted that global automotive competition now revolves around intelligentization. New intelligent technologies are prompting closer integration between OEMs and component suppliers, imposing new requirements on collaboration across the value chain.“As automotive competitiveness shifts toward intelligence and AI, enterprises need to explore new development models,” Zhang explained. “Many automakers are choosing to collaborate with tech companies to address their shortcomings in intelligent capabilities. In this new era, cross-industry cooperation is becoming a crucial external source of competitiveness for automakers. Software, chips, and data ecosystems beyond the traditional auto industry are now deeply integrating with it, driving upgrades across the sector.”Ma Cuibing, Board Member of JAC Group Holdings and Deputy General Manager of JAC Motors, shared his company’s experience of cross-industry collaboration with Huawei.“In this new era of automotive development, building and nurturing new capabilities requires empowerment and cross-boundary cooperation,” Ma said. “We’re engaging in comprehensive strategic collaboration with Huawei Digital Energy across key areas such as NEV model/platform technology development and application. At the same time, we are benchmarking against Huawei to drive organizational reform and capability enhancement.”Cooperation across the value chain is also supporting the Chinese auto industry’s global ambitions. Gu Jianmin, CTO of Valeo China, told reporters that China’s automotive industry has made great strides not just in market scale but also in technological advancement.“Software is becoming increasingly influential in automotive products, transforming cars from mechanical products into integrated hardware-software systems,” Gu said. “As a result, more Chinese automakers are now providing technologies to overseas manufacturers. China has become the ‘fitness center’ of the global auto industry, and we will continue increasing our investment in China.”“Globally, China’s automotive intelligentization has reached a deep-water stage,” said Lu Donghai, Deputy General Manager of Automotive Electronics Marketing at ZTE Microelectronics. “We hope that under policy guidance, automakers and ICT enterprises can be brought together in an orderly way to promote innovation through ecosystem integration. We also hope Chinese automakers can take the lead and mobilize the entire value chain to collectively drive the continuous upgrading of the country’s automotive industry.”From chip development to intelligent driving, from innovations in electrical/electronic architecture to software-defined vehicles, China’s auto industry is forging a uniquely Chinese path through continuous exploration of new collaboration mechanisms within the industry chain.“In the future, the auto industry must adopt a more open model to access a broader range of intelligent capabilities,” Zhang Yongwei added. “Automakers need to seamlessly connect with companies specializing in computing power and algorithms, internalizing these external resources into core competitiveness. Cross-industry integration will continue to inject vitality into the development of China’s automotive sector.”Declaration: This article comes from Economic Information Daily.If copyright issues are involved, please contact us to delete.

China’s automotive industry is currently at a critical stage of “changing lanes to overtake.”According to data, in the first half of 2025, the country’s automobile production and sales reached 15.621 million and 15.653 million units respectively, up 12.5% and 11.4% year-on-year, demonstrating strong growth resilience. At the same time, the dilemma of “increased volume without increased profit” has become increasingly apparent. The ongoing involution-style competition continues to squeeze corporate profit margins, posing a major obstacle to the industry’s high-quality development.From July 10 to July 12, the "2025 China Automotive Forum" with the theme of "Improving Quality to the New, Winning the Future" was held in Shanghai, and the attending guests focused on the high-quality development of the automotive industry, cracking the inward spiral of predicament, and promoting global synergy, etc. The forum was held in Shanghai, with the theme of "Improving Quality to the New, Winning the Future".In-depth discussion, injecting new momentum for the development of the industry.Innovation breaks through the bottleneck of developmentWan Gang, Chairman of China Association for Science and Technology, said at the meeting that the development of China's automobile industry has entered a brand new stage, and in the face of the wave of electrification and intelligence, the automobile industry needs to deepen the co-operation between enterprises and build a new type of competitive relationship.It is difficult for automobile enterprises to adapt to the current changes, the only way is to promote complementary advantages through innovative cooperation methods, in order to jointly create new technologies, new products, new models, and cultivate new growth poles of industrial value, "China's automobile industry in the field of electrification has already achieved the 'lane-changing overtaking', and the intelligent will be the core battlefield of the next stage.the core battlefield of the next stage, and it is necessary to focus on key technology research and promote collaborative innovation in the upstream and downstream of the industry chain."Xu Niansha, president of China Machinery Industry Federation, said that in 2024 China's GDP reached 134.91 trillion yuan, accounting for 17% of the world's manufacturing value-added 33.55 trillion yuan, of which the automotive manufacturing industry accounted for one-third of the total volume of the machinery industry, is a well-deserved core engine.To promote the development of new quality productivity, the automotive industry shoulders a heavy responsibility.Xu Niansha put forward five major development directions: first, focus on core technology research, strengthen the new energy, intelligent network technology reserves in the field; second, accelerate the digital and intelligent upgrading, and firmly take the green low-carbon road; third, improve the toughness of the industrial chain, and enhance the ability to independently guarantee the key basic materials; fourth, plough into the domestic market while exploring the international map; and fifth, to create a healthy ecology, and crack the involution of the predicament through the industry's self-discipline.The fifth is to create a healthy ecosystem and crack the problem of involution through industry self-regulation.In response to the industry's widespread concern about the problem of involution, China Association of Automobile Manufacturers Executive Vice President and Secretary-General Fu Bingfeng said that the ongoing price war has pressed the industry's profitability to the tipping point, if not curbed, it may trigger the quality of the compromises and stagnation of innovation, "in the first half of this year, the automotive market continues to develop well, but 'increase does not increase profitability's situation is in urgent need of improvement.With electrification accelerating global industrial restructuring and the full rise of AI technology, the industry has entered the second half of the 'change of lane racing', and needs to achieve sustainable development by comprehensively managing involution, promoting dual-carbon mutual recognition, and strengthening global synergy."In the field of green and low carbon, the forum launched the "China Automobile Industry Green and Low Carbon Public Service Platform and Automobile Industry EPD Platform".According to the introduction of You Zheng, standing committee member of the Party committee of Dongfeng Motor, deputy general manager, and current president of China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM), the platform, adhering to the principles of "objectivity, public welfare, common governance, and mutual recognition", will unify the rules of accounting and disclosure standards of the carbon footprint and promote the mutual recognition of domestic and international standards, so as to provide the industry with "dual carbon" and "low carbon" services.The platform will unify carbon footprint accounting rules and disclosure standards, promote mutual recognition of standards at home and abroad, and provide support for the industry's "dual-carbon" goal.Domestic and foreign car companies join forces to break the mouldIn the critical period of industrial transformation, how can enterprises break through the bottleneck of development? Chery Automobile Co., Ltd. Chairman Yin Tongyue's speech hit the industry pain points.He said, China's auto has shifted from scale expansion to quality competition, but there are still blind "go to sea" and blindly follow the trend of involution and other issues, "Chery has also been involved in the price war, but deeply aware of the sales rankings are not as important as the quality rankings, profit rankings are not as important as innovation.Call on the government to strengthen the brand building, technological innovation guidance and assessment, the capital market to give enterprises more patience.Brand and technology breakthroughs take time, and Chinese auto brands should avoid international market backlash due to disorderly competition."Yin Tongyue's point of view has also been echoed by a number of guests, many of the participating enterprises related to the person in charge of the meeting after the meeting to the "Securities Daily" reporter said, I hope the relevant departments to listen to the voices, and jointly promote the sustainable development of the industry.Auto home executive director and CEO Yang Song through the data to support: 2022 to 2024, the automotive industry due to the price of involution loss of 200 billion yuan to 300 billion yuan of income, part of the model price cuts and price cuts and not the difference between the sales, but in vain loss of profit.Yang Song believes that to crack the predicament need to reduce costs and efficiency and orderly "sea" two-pronged approach.The former can be optimized through AI technology marketing decision-making; the latter need to build a global ecosystem, help China's cars in the "go out", can walk more stable, farther.Gao Xiang, President and CEO of BMW Group Greater China, said that the supply chain is fragile, regulatory differences and other challenges, the need for global car companies to work together to deal with, "Chinese car companies to go overseas, can learn from the 'global thinking + local deep ploughing' model, and jointly build a highly efficient and resilient industrial chain."Dewees, secretary-general of the European Automotive Industry Association, said that the Chinese and European automotive industries together account for more than half of global production, and their objectives in the fields of green low-carbon and intelligent network are highly compatible, "The current trade environment is complex, and there is a greater need for 'dialogue rather than compartmentalization', 'transparency rather thanprotection'.""ACEA is promoting deeper co-operation between China and Europe in areas such as harmonization of technical regulations and cross-border flow of data."Differences are not barriers, but opportunities for complementation, said Dives.Declaration: This article comes from the Securities Daily.If copyright issues are involved, please contact us to delete.

In the evening of 26 June, Xiaomi Auto's second product YU7 was officially listed.Subsequently, the company's official microblogging said that the 3-minute YU7 big set to break through 200,000 units.As of about 22:45 pm, Xiaomi's US ADR rose about 8.24%.According to reports, the Xiaomi YU7 has a length, width and height of 4,999mm, width of 1,996mm and height of 1,600mm, with a wheelbase of 3 meters, and is priced at 253,500 yuan for the standard version, 279,900 yuan for the PRO version and 329,900 yuan for the Max version.Judging from the pricing, the YU7 is mainly targeting the mid-size SUV market.Lei Jun said at the launch that the Model Y has been the top seller in the segment for many years, and he made a detailed comparison between various parameters of the YU7 and the Model Y.However, he also said that Tesla is still much ahead in terms of energy consumption and FSD.Similar to the listing of SU7, before the new car was listed, Lei Jun kept making noises through social platforms to build momentum for YU7.On 25 June, Lei Jun wrote that Xiaomi YU7 will be a key test for Xiaomi Automobile, because SUV is the real main battlefield of the automotive industry, and YU7 is about to usher in the most brutal competition.In the 200,000 to 300,000 yuan class pure electric SUV market, in addition to the Tesla Model Y, this segment also has Xiaopeng G9, Azure ES6 and other products.In addition, the range-extended electric vehicles launched by Li auto, AITO, and Luxeed are also located in this price range.This means that the price zone where the Xiaomi YU7 is located is very competitive.YU7 is the second product launched by Xiaomi Auto, the first car SU7 current monthly sales amount to nearly 30,000 units or so.Although SU7 has a good market performance after the listing, but millet car is still facing the problem of rebuilding security trust.In March this year, a fatal car accident that occurred in Tongling, Anhui Province, put Xiaomi SU7 into the limelight.The incident was followed by regulatory corrections on publicity issues such as assisted driving.The following May, Lei Jun responded to the impact of the SU7 accident in an internal speech, saying that Xiaomi had been subjected to a furious storm of questions, criticisms and accusations, and that traffic accidents were unavoidable, but that he hadn't expected the accident to hit Xiaomi so hard.He said, "millet is no longer a newcomer to the industry, there is no rookie protection period in any industry, to have higher standards and goals."On the other hand, Xiaomi Auto has also been embroiled in a storm of false propaganda and other controversies over the SU7 Ultra carbon fibre hood controversy, which has sparked some controversy with the view that Xiaomi Auto has always been more high-profile in terms of marketing.With the intensification of market competition, more and more car companies are beginning to reflect on this marketing model, trying to win the market by improving product power and service quality.At this conference, Lei Jun also emphasised the importance of safety.He said that safety is not just about luxury, but safety is the prerequisite and foundation.Although the launch of YU7 may have a certain diversion effect on potential SU7 buyers, the industry still believes that millet car sales are expected to grow further.Along with its sales growth, millet car is expected to achieve a single quarterly profit. 3 June, Lei Jun said at the millet investor conference, millet car business losses are gradually narrowing, is expected to achieve profitability in the third and fourth quarters of this year.Xiaomi group financial report shows that in the first quarter of 2025, millet intelligent electric vehicles and AI and other innovative business segments total revenue of 18.6 billion yuan, accounting for 16.71% of the total revenue of millet group, intelligent electric vehicle revenue of 18.1 billion yuan, up 10.7% compared to the previous quarter, the operating loss narrowed to 500 million yuan.The "2024 Xiaomi Automobile New Four Layout Analysis Report" published by Zosi Automobile Research and Development said that Xiaomi Automobile has multiple advantages, such as the company's abundant capital, high brand awareness, large fan base, excellent marketing and pre-sale activities.However, Xiaomi Auto also has some shortcomings, including insufficient experience in car manufacturing, insufficient R&D accumulation, and the need to polish software and manufacturing quality.According to the aforementioned report, Xiaomi's challenge is undoubtedly huge as it crosses over directly to building its own automotive factory and manufacturing cars under the premise that all of its mobile phones are OEM.For example, the company has relatively insufficient technical accumulation in battery management, in-vehicle systems, power batteries, and autonomous driving development; insufficient investment in EE architecture, automotive basic software, and charging and switching facilities; and insufficient accumulation in batteries, hybrids, chassis, and manufacturing.Declaration: This article comes from China Business News.If copyright issues are involved, please contact us to delete.

In recent years, the proportion of new energy vehicles in passenger cars has continued to rise. By the end of 2024, the national ownership has reached 31.4 million vehicles, and the installed capacity of power batteries has been the world's leading for many years.

On June 6, Japan's Suzuki Motor Corporation announced that some of its automobile production lines in Japan had temporarily stopped operating due to the failure of rare earth material parts from China to arrive on time.

Auto tariffs have always been a top priority in US President Trump's trade and tariff policies. On April 9, the Trump administration announced that it would suspend the implementation of "reciprocal tariffs" for some countries and regions for 90 days, but auto tariffs were not included in the suspension.

"Time waits for no one. The current market environment has no room for error for Geely Auto." At the Geely Automobile Holdings Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Geely Auto") 2025 first quarter performance conference in mid-May, Geely Auto CEO and Executive Director Gui Shengyue said that this is the basic logic for Geely to merge so quickly.

In 2025, the technological development of the automotive industry entered a new stage. As intelligent technology advances, new battery technology for electrification has also made new progress.Compared with liquid batteries, the safety, energy density, and service life of solid-state batteries have all been improved. The latest research report of the Chebai Think Tank under the China Electric Vehicle Hundred People's Association, "All-solid-state batteries are expected to lead a new round of battery revolution", believes that the current energy density of liquid lithium-ion batteries is close to the upper limit (about 350Wh/kg), while the energy density of all-solid-state batteries is expected to exceed 500 Wh/kg, and has the potential for "technological disruption" in product performance. Therefore, solid-state batteries have been regarded as an important development direction for the next generation of batteries by major power battery manufacturers and new energy vehicle companies, but they still need to overcome problems such as technology and high costs.Yang Chenglin, head of the solid-state battery project of the BYD Group Research Institute, said that the problems faced by solid-state batteries include excessive cost (the cost of all-solid-state batteries reaches 5 yuan/Wh) and high operating pressure (the pressure required for the operation of all-solid-state batteries is at the megapascal level).However, in the past year, with the continuous iteration of technical processes, the cost of raw materials required for solid-state batteries has dropped significantly. Yang Chenglin said that, for example, the lithium sulfide required for solid electrolytes can be sold at a price of 1,000 yuan per kilogram in large quantities.As the cost of raw materials drops, manufacturers in the industry chain are also accelerating the mass production of solid-state batteries. On May 17, Guoxuan High-tech released six new batteries, including the G-Yuan quasi-solid-state battery with a range of 1,000 kilometers. Among them, the all-solid-state battery has entered the pre-production stage. B&T also recently released a comprehensive solution for solid-state battery materials, covering semi-solid and all-solid-state battery materials, with a layout involving positive, negative, and electrolytes, and has the technical conditions for mass production. The Hunan Enjie Sulfide Solid Electrolyte Material Pilot Production Line Project under Enjie Co., Ltd. has landed in Yuxi this month. After the project is fully completed and put into production, it is expected to form an annual production capacity of 1,000 tons of sulfide solid electrolyte materials.In practical applications, solid-state batteries are accelerating their adoption. Changan Automobile released a solid-state battery with a capacity of 400wh/kg and a range of 1,500 kilometers. The first prototype will be launched at the end of 2025. SAIC's new generation of solid-state batteries will be mass-produced and applied to the new MG4 at the end of this year. GAC Group has initially opened up the full-process manufacturing process of solid-state batteries and will install them on Wubo models in 2026. BYD will start mass demonstration and installation of all-solid-state batteries around 2027, and realize large-scale installation after 2030.It is worth mentioning that the transition of power batteries from liquid to all-solid state, and the semi-solid-state batteries in the intermediate transition period are also controversial. Zeng Yuqun, founder and chairman of CATL, bluntly stated that some car companies over-promote the maturity of solid-state battery technology, which is actually misleading the public and investors. He said: "It is irresponsible to say that solid-state batteries will be widely used in 2025. It takes at least 8 to 10 years for solid-state batteries to go from laboratory samples to mass production. At present, most of the so-called "solid-state batteries" are semi-solid or quasi-solid, and still contain a certain proportion of liquid electrolytes, which are fundamentally different from true all-solid-state batteries."Liu Yang, director of the solid-state R&D department of Enjie Co., Ltd.'s Global Research Institute, predicts that around 2030, the proportion of liquid batteries will still account for more than 90% of the market share. At the same time, semi-solid/solid-liquid hybrid batteries have been put on the bus, and the development of the entire industrial chain is accelerating; Enjie Co., Ltd. has also laid out key raw materials for sulfide all-solid-state batteries to accelerate the industrialization process of all-solid-state batteries.The above judgment is based on the high cost of all-solid-state batteries. The current liquid lithium batteries have better cost-effectiveness. Therefore, solid-state batteries will be used in certain sub-sectors such as deep space (aerospace), deep sea, deep earth, etc., and the market applications now and in the future will still be dominated by liquid lithium batteries and semi-solid-state batteries.Yang Chenglin said that the annual compound growth rate of the solid-state battery market will be 30% in the next ten years, reaching 500GWh by 2035, of which sulfide all-solid-state batteries will account for about 41% and semi-solid-state batteries will account for about 33%.From the industry perspective, semi-solid-state batteries and solid-state batteries are constantly moving forward with discussions. According to incomplete statistics from the Research Center of the Power Battery Application Branch of the China Chemical and Physical Power Sources Industry Association, in the first quarter of 2025, domestic solid-state and semi-solid-state battery projects will invest about 18.8 billion yuan, involving a production capacity of 48.3GWh, mainly in new energy vehicles and high-end energy storage scenarios.The "Key Points for Industrial and Information Technology Standards Work in 2025" issued by the Science and Technology Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology proposed to strengthen the top-level design of standard work in key areas, and solidly promote the "Implementation Plan for the New Industry Standardization Pilot Project (2023-2035)", establish and improve the standard system of intelligent manufacturing, all-solid-state batteries, industrial Internet, cloud computing, smart homes, and automotive carbon footprint, and build high-quality development services for the industry with high-level standards.Zheng Yali, assistant secretary-general of the China Society of Automotive Engineers and vice president of the National Automotive Strategy Institute, believes that the selection of solid-state battery electrolytes must take into account conductivity, processability, stability and manufacturing costs. There are currently two main technical routes that are closer to industrialization, one is sulfide electrolytes, and the other is polymer composite electrolytes. The mass production and application of all-solid-state batteries also need to focus on breakthroughs in key scientific issues at the material level and efficient production processes/low costs at the industrial level. It is expected that an all-solid-state battery pilot line will be established around 2027 and a prototype vehicle will be launched. Around 2030, it will be possible to achieve small-scale mass production of all-solid-state batteries and install them on vehicles.Source: YICAIDeclaration: This article comes from the YICAI.If copyright issues are involved, please contact us to delete.
