So, what are the highlights and highlights of this supply chain conference? Not much to say, Bian Xiao, dry goods!

Highlight 1: "202 1 China Automobile Supply Chain Innovation Achievements" was released for the first time.

This year's China Auto Supply Chain Conference is different from previous conferences, and will release "China Auto Supply Chain Innovation Achievements" for the first time. According to the person in charge of the organizing Committee of the conference, there are dozens of innovative projects that have been declared, all from mainstream enterprises in the industry. After strict evaluation by experts in the industry, only a part will be selected in the end. This is a very meaningful thing, which will create new opportunities for "zero integration" cooperation.

It is understood that as of mid-September, 45 enterprises including Huawei, Horizon, Sheng Jun Electronics, Honeycomb Energy, Ma Xiao Zhixing, Desai Siwei and Telecom were shortlisted for the 20021China Automobile Supply Chain Innovation Promotion Conference, and the final results will be announced at the Chongqing press conference in June 65438+1October 65438+May. Who will win the championship?

According to Luo Junmin, Deputy Secretary-General of China Automobile Industry Association, in order to ensure the fairness and justice of the promotion results, the organizers mainly invited the dean and director of the technology center of the R&D center or R&D institute of the automobile factory to participate in the selection, because they are direct users of technology, and the things they selected must be easy to use, not the parts enterprises themselves. This evaluation should be given by the car company; On the other hand, the organizer directly pushes a large number of innovative achievements to the competent leaders in charge of technology application of vehicle enterprises, which is also a very important exhibition opportunity for parts enterprises.

In fact, at present, the organizers have taken concrete actions and are holding the 20021China Automobile Supply Chain Innovation Achievements Exchange Series. On September 28th, the first stop of the exchange activity was held in Guangzhou Automobile Research Institute, co-sponsored by China Automobile Industry Association and Guangzhou Automobile Group Co., Ltd. * *, assisted by Guangdong Automobile Industry Association, and attended by five R&D institutions, complete vehicle companies and 19 auto parts companies, including Guangzhou Automobile Group Co., Ltd., Guangzhou Automobile Passenger Car Co., Ltd., Guangzhou Automobile Aian New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd., Guangzhou Automobile Honda Automobile Co., Ltd. and Guangzhou Automobile Toyota Motor Co..

During the exchange activities, Feng Xingya, general manager of Guangzhou Automobile Group, made it clear that Guangzhou Automobile Group will always uphold the attitude of openness and cooperation, strengthen exchanges and cooperation with different enterprises in different industries, give consideration to both tradition and emerging, coordinate software and hardware, work together to promote technological innovation and industrial innovation, and jointly build an agile, flexible, proactive, safe and stable value chain, supply chain and innovation chain with upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain, and make every effort to build a new ecological environment for industrial development.

In order to promote the high-quality development of China's automobile supply chain, China Automobile Industry Association, the organizer of the conference, insists on innovation as the core, and helps China's automobile supply chain innovation to turn into new development advantages through promotion, exhibition, exchange and investment gathering.

Highlight 2: Release "202 1 China Blue Book of Auto Parts".

At this supply chain conference, the organizer will also release the China Auto Parts Industry Development Report (2020-202 1) (referred to as the Blue Book of Parts). The book was jointly compiled by China Automobile Industry Association and China Automobile Engineering Research Institute Co., Ltd. After five years of continuous improvement, it has accumulated a lot of experience. In the first year of the "14th Five-Year Plan", the new version of the Blue Book of Parts will reach a new height on the basis of continuing the previous work.

The outbreak of "COVID-19" last year impacted the development of parts industry, and the reorganization of global industrial chain also brought new opportunities for the development of enterprises. Integration and innovation have become the only way to build a safe and controllable industrial chain. Under this background, this edition of Blue Book of Parts takes "integration and innovation" as the main line, and constantly innovates on the basis of summing up past experience, and puts forward practical suggestions for the development of China's parts industry in the post-epidemic era.

It is understood that in the process of compiling the blue book of parts, the main research contents are general reports and articles in different industries, such as electric drive systems, charging and replacing facilities for electric vehicles, on-board core chips, on-board infotainment systems, etc. Experts from roland berger, Guangzhou Automobile Research Institute, SAIC Electric Drive Co., Ltd., China Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Promotion Alliance, Ziguang Guo Xin Microelectronics Co., Ltd., Baidu, Shenzhen Hangsheng Electronics Co., Ltd., Wanbang Digital Energy Co., Ltd., Beijing Ma Xiao Zhixing Technology Co., Ltd., Dongfeng Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and many other enterprises had heated discussions, with a view to making a more scientific judgment on the new situation, new changes and new trends of the current industry.

In addition, vehicle and parts enterprises, research institutes, universities and industry experts all participated in the preparation of this blue book. The publication of this book will raise the attention of the auto parts industry to a certain extent, build a new industry ecology, and promote the high-quality development of the auto parts industry, which has important reference value and significance.

At this special time node that has not changed much in a hundred years, integration and innovation have developed into * * * knowledge. As a brand product of China Automobile Industry Association, the Blue Book of Automobile Parts is becoming more and more influential in the industry. It is a high-level, in-depth and distinctive boutique industry book, dedicated to making positive contributions to the development of China auto parts industry.

Highlight 3: Top guests gathered in a special forum to discuss the new trends of automotive materials.

In recent years, automotive materials represented by composite body panels and body frames are undergoing a profound change. The proportion of non-ferrous metals and their alloys, powder metals and composite materials in automobiles has increased rapidly, and there has been a trend that new materials will transition from simple parts to complex structural parts and gradually replace traditional materials. The use of new materials not only helps to improve the technical performance of automobiles, but also makes it possible to realize many new designs and technologies in industrial production.

Based on this, this year's China Automobile Supply Chain Conference specially set up the theme forum of "New Trends of Automobile Materials", inviting experts, scholars and enterprise executives in the automobile industry to discuss the new trends and technological development trends of automobile materials around the high-quality development of the automobile industry, aiming at promoting the integration and innovation development of the automobile materials industry.

It is noteworthy that the theme forum of "New Trends in Automotive Materials" invited many academicians, who are the highest academic titles in the field of science and technology. They focus on a certain research field and know the latest research directions and achievements. Plus a number of university professors, the guest lineup is unprecedented.

It is reported that the theme forum of "New Trends in Automotive Materials" will be hosted by Professor Yu Muhuo from the School of Materials, Donghua University. At that time, two academicians, Ding Wenjiang and Qi of China Academy of Engineering, will give keynote speeches on the development status and trends of two new materials, namely "light alloy for automobiles" and "engineering plastics for automobiles".

In addition to the above-mentioned two academicians, the theme forum also plans to invite a number of academicians to participate in the round-table dialogue, forming a lineup of experts and scholars represented by academicians and professors and representatives of vehicle and parts enterprises. Facing the opportunities and challenges of new materials in the high-quality development of automobiles in China, the theme forum will brainstorm and collide with ideas around the applications and prospects of new materials such as carbon fiber composites, light alloys, high-strength steel, engineering plastics, battery materials and hydrogen energy materials.

This theme forum will discuss the technological innovation of traditional materials and the technological breakthrough of new materials. Zhang Liqun, Vice President of beijing university of chemical technology, will give a keynote speech on the development status and trend of rubber materials for automobiles, and Yu Muhuo, a professor from the School of Materials of Donghua University, will also give a keynote speech on the development status and trend of carbon fiber composites for automobiles. Xiong Fen, Minister of New Materials Department of Dongfeng Motor Technology Center, will put forward new demands and expectations for the application of new automotive materials from the perspective of vehicle enterprises.

Such a top guest lineup and a special forum to discuss the new trends in the field of automotive materials are really full of dry goods and live up to expectations.

Highlight 4: Keep up with the industry hotspots and discuss the new progress of "double carbon" and "chip"

"Double carbon" and "lack of core" have become hot topics in the automobile industry in the past year. 20021China Auto Supply Chain Conference will continue to track the hot spots in the industry, respond to the concerns of enterprises in the industry, directly attack the "crux", "pain point" and "hot spots", and explore the road of sustainable green supply chain development.

How to create a new ecology of green automobile supply chain under the goal of "double carbon" will be one of the important topics of this supply chain conference. Recently, Xu Heyi, member of the Economic Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and former Party Secretary and Chairman of BAIC Group, pointed out that the goal of "double carbon" is becoming another important factor affecting the transformation and reconstruction of the automobile industry chain, and decarbonization of the automobile industry chain and supply chain is very important.

At present, with the accelerated popularization of new energy vehicles, the carbon emission source of automobile life cycle mainly shifts from the use stage of traditional fuel vehicles to the production stage of pure electric vehicles. For traditional fuel vehicles, the carbon emission in the whole life cycle mainly comes from the use stage, in which the carbon emission in the use stage accounts for about 80% of the whole life cycle, while the carbon emission of pure electric vehicles mainly comes from the production stage. According to the data released by McKinsey, it is estimated that by 2025, the emissions of electric vehicle materials will account for 45% of the total vehicle life cycle emissions, and by 2040, the carbon emissions from material production will account for about 85%. It can be seen that accelerating the low-carbon transformation of industrial chain and supply chain has become the key to carbon neutrality in the era of new energy vehicles, especially the production process of automotive materials and power batteries. Only through the upstream and downstream linkage of the industrial chain can we promote the carbon reduction and decarbonization of the automobile industrial chain and the whole life cycle of products and realize the real green transformation.

Realizing carbon neutrality in supply chain is an inevitable trend and an important way to improve the competitiveness of enterprises. For enterprises, the key to reduce carbon emissions is to adopt new technologies, new materials and new processes. In the supply chain, from the development and design of automobile parts to research and trial production, from mass production to raw material selection, almost all links can deeply tap the potential and reduce carbon emissions. Domestic enterprises should accelerate the pace of low carbon, strengthen technology drive, reduce carbon emissions with energy-saving technology, new energy vehicle technology and carbon capture frontier technology, build core competitiveness, and drive the industry to achieve the goal of "peak carbon dioxide emission and carbon neutrality".

Another hot topic in the industry-automobile "core shortage" was discussed at the "202 1 China Automobile Forum" held in June, and this supply chain conference will bring follow-up, continue to track the new progress of automobile "chip freedom" and explore solutions in order to solve the "core shortage" problem and weaken the high dependence on chip imports.

Indeed, since the end of last year, the shortage of automobile chips seems to have lasted all day. According to the latest data from consulting firm Alix Partners, due to the shortage of chips, it is estimated that global car companies will cut production by 7.7 million vehicles this year, with a loss of 210 billion US dollars (about10.36 trillion yuan). Due to the shortage of chips, Tier 1 could not produce parts, which eventually led to the failure of the whole vehicle to roll off the assembly line. Recently, new car companies such as Ideal and Weilai have lowered their delivery expectations in the third quarter.

Facing the continuous chip shortage of upstream suppliers, car companies and Tier 1 are actively responding. On the other hand, China brand automobile companies are also using more domestic substitute products, adjusting their electronic and electrical structures, and ensuring a stable supply. From last year to this year, the utilization rate of independent automobile chips is increasing. Li ONE has already used Horizon Journey 3 chip, and Extreme Fox Alpha S will soon be equipped with Huawei MDC autopilot platform, and a large number of vehicles will be equipped with Horizon Journey 2 chip to realize intelligent cockpit function.

"Core shortage" is both a crisis and an opportunity. The chip shortage that lasted from last year to now is a great test for the whole automobile supply chain. How to resolve this crisis? Let's wait and see.
