Is seeking the views of the "Foreign Investment Industrial Guidance Catalogue" clearly, "Foreign investment in key parts of new energy vehicles, shall not exceed 50% stake." This "ordering" interpreted by the market, through the boost of new energy technologies "turn overtaking the" strong strategic thinking of China's auto industry, is gaining institutional policy tilt. Therefore, this was the domestic auto parts enterprises to support design of the system to obtain the approval of many people in the industry, however, opponents have raised, just as the "market for technology" failed, as the threshold through the administrative limits, can extent to which the protection of national industries, is still unknown.

    To support local parts enterprises

    Recently, the State Development and Reform Commission issued the "Catalogue for the Guidance of Foreign Investment Industries (revised draft)." The draft clearly states that "key components of new energy vehicles, foreign investment (ownership) no more than 50%." This is the first time Chinese authorities clearly defined the key components of new energy vehicles, joint venture equity ratio.

    According to the draft, this 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, start and stop idle and so on.

    In fact, after China's auto industry policy on the joint venture vehicle with equity ratio limits, the provisions of foreign ownership can not exceed 50%. However, for foreign investment in parts production, sales, policy, without too many restrictions, especially the joint venture does not share ratio restrictions and allow foreign-owned.

    Correspondingly, it is, in the earlier closing of the Shanghai Auto Show, including Bosch, Johnson Controls, Continental, Delphi and other parts, including multinational giants, scrambling to showcase its most advanced components technologies, especially in the new energy and electric cars. Huge market in the new energy vehicles cake temptation, like many parts giant Cross "into" the Chinese market.

    According to statistics, in recent years, newly approved foreign-owned domestic auto parts enterprises the number of projects has been higher than the number of joint ventures. International auto parts enterprises to the development of China's auto parts industry has brought capital, technology and management, but in promoting the advancement and upgrading the domestic parts industry, but also occupied a large domestic market, but also inhibits local businesses technology, and capacity for independent innovation.

    In the core technology, foreign investment in China's auto parts industry, the monopoly is indeed very prominent, according to the State Information Center, 2009 "China's auto parts industry research" shows that domestic production of petrol electric control system of the top four companies for the UMC, electricity equipment, Siemens VDO and Delphi million sources, both foreign background, with its output accounting for mechanical and electrical control system of the domestic production of gasoline 80%, of which UMC's market share to 40%, less than 1% of local enterprises.

    However, 50% of the shares than the "ordering" so many foreign parts companies concerned. "The government must encourage us to enter the new energy industry, but also in encouraging the threshold requirement, which makes us feel very confused." Admitted a senior auto parts enterprises, such restrictions so that there are plans to introduce new energy technologies in China With the concerns of foreign investment may also make other choices, such as selecting the Asia-Pacific region to produce these parts in other countries and then imported into China. "

    "Ordering" or was divided

    For comments in the ratio of 50% of the joint stock limited, the obvious support the domestic auto parts enterprises design of the system to obtain the approval of many people in the industry, however, there are opponents raised, just as the "market for technology" failure as the threshold through the administrative limits, the extent to which protection of national industries, is still unknown.
