New energy vehicles in China means that began to appear.

    April 2011, the National Development and Reform Commission in the newly published "Catalogue for the Guidance of Foreign Investment Industries (Amendment Draft)," pointed out: to encourage foreign investment in China to set up a joint venture of new energy vehicles, "the key components of new energy vehicles, foreign ( ownership) no more than 50%. " In this policy, was designated the "key components" cover a wide range, including the power battery, cathode material, separator, battery management systems, motor management systems, Electric control, drive motor, coupled drive system, electric air-conditioning, electric brake, power steering, such as start and stop idling.

    Automotive joint venture in China through more than 30 years, China has set the car on the first such policy changes significantly. This opinion is issued a wide-ranging discussion that is caused by the industry, when the closing date for comments, and new energy vehicles on existing related business enterprises need to change the focus of such shares not more than a consensus.

    May 9, 2011 -5 15, newspaper and Gasgoo Automobile Research Institute conducted this joint investigation. During the investigation, sharing of 2319 people in the industry to vote. Survey, 52% of the energy industry in favor of the key components of the new restrictions on share ratio, and 36% of participants opposed this policy, while up to 12% of the people do not adopt a clear, select the "hard nut to crack . "

    Questioning the fundamental strategy for

    Although China's auto market has leapt in the world, but its overall strength has not reached such a level in the field of spare parts has been particularly evident. In the absence of any share ratio restriction, the Chinese auto parts enterprises to survive in difficult foreign investment drive straight, narrow space for development. Weak competitiveness of small parts as a whole, is the industry consensus.

    The "Catalogue for the Guidance of Foreign Investment Industries (Amendment Draft)" on the surface to limit foreign investment in the equity ratio is conducive to learning Chinese enterprises, and give enterprises the opportunity to grow more independent, such a policy is easy to get emotional support and endorsement. Can China achieve through the round parts of the joint venture to acquire new energy vehicle technology, and ultimately enhance the level of the overall development of China's auto industry aims to become the primary problem.

    In the survey, only 31% of the participants stood in a position of complete certainty, that this policy is beneficial to China's auto industry. Up to 33% of people believe that this policy in the short term benefit the development of China's automobile industry, but not necessarily long term.

    In addition, 18% of the people that "key components of new energy vehicles, restricted stock than the" practice of no benefit, while as many as 18% of the factors that determine the answer is too complicated, select the "hard to say."

    Some experts believe that the best technology to enhance the vehicle and parts in China is to promote high-tech automobile parts and R & D activities in China. So far, no one in China, foreign car companies set up R & D center vehicle platform. This is to upgrade the technological level of China is very bad parts. If the Chinese Government in this regard to foreign vehicle companies and demand constraints, the effect is required than simply cross-parts companies have joint venture in China's policy is much better, and it belongs to solve the problem.

    30 years ago, China has made to encourage foreign enterprises to invest in China car repairer, but must be a joint venture with the Chinese side, and holding no more than 50% rule.

    This policy effectively stimulate the consumer market, but the Chinese joint ventures in technology and management, but can hardly achieve much success.

    An unequal contest

    Experience from the joint venture vehicle, this policy has brought China's automobile industry does not give direct technical upgrading, but why support the policy by the vehicle unit area than the limit extended to the field of voters still the mainstream parts?

    Anonymity of the international consulting firm, analysts said this is the choice of a helpless government to limit good than the open, not limited to the level of auto parts in China is less likely to improve.
