Qiaofu's Works: Together with the automotive industry, we witness the rise of China's automotive industry. FAW Group, the first automotive group in New China, will join hands with Huawei and China Automotive Technology and Research Center to accomplish a significant task.

Accomplishing this task will set a standard for the industry and reduce the "empty talk" among enterprises.

New AEB Regulations Are Coming

According to public information, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has entrusted FAW, Huawei, and CATARC to draft and revise new AEB standards. Revising new AEB standards is in line with the trend of automotive intelligence.

Currently, the automotive industry is inconsistent in implementation, leading automakers to selectively choose standards. Shrewd enterprises choose the standard that is most conducive to promotion.

For example, BYD recently claimed at a press conference in Xi'an that it has the world's highest engine thermal efficiency of 46.06%; later, Geely executives showed a 23-year energy efficiency certificate with a maximum efficiency of 46.1%; and then BYD showed a 24-year energy efficiency certificate with a maximum efficiency of 46.5%.

These "most" claims are all due to different implementation standards, making it impossible to determine who is right and who is wrong, as the standards themselves are different.

As a result, consumers and the public are confused, leading to division and team formation, seriously muddying the automotive industry's public opinion.

Previously, regulators joined forces with the industry to launch the construction and application of the "automotive extreme environment testing and evaluation standard system" in Turpan, Xinjiang.

Various indications suggest that under the wave of automotive electrification, the country has begun to consider developing a technical evaluation system suitable for electric vehicles, which is a system supporting China's electric vehicle strategy. Only by establishing Chinese standards can we promote them as international standards.

In the era of traditional fuel vehicles, automotive technical standards were mainly formulated by Western countries. The West has also firmly grasped the cutting-edge direction of the traditional fuel era and has also enjoyed the benefits brought by formulating standards.

As China's electric vehicles go overseas, the country is also promoting the corresponding industry standards to go overseas simultaneously. The Western countries once played the same game in the Chinese market, and now we are returning the favor.

FAW's Foundation and Concerns

As the first automaker in New China, FAW has been selected as a participant in the standards, indicating that FAW has the technical foundation. This northeast veteran of the automotive industry has manufactured China's first Jiefang brand car and the first Hongqi passenger car, marking the starting point of China's automotive industry.

However, with the opening of the automotive market, FAW's position as the elder brother has been taken over by SAIC. Since then, FAW's position in the industry has become somewhat awkward.

As the eldest son, FAW shares a common problem in the current joint venture era: excessive reliance on joint venture brands and a lack of development in its independent brands. As China's automotive market shifts from fuel vehicles to electric vehicles, FAW is dragged down by joint venture brands and cannot find growth points. The most embarrassing thing is that the joint venture partner has strictly blocked technology, leading to failed attempts to steal technology and losing a considerable market share.

From a public perspective, it is hoped that state-owned enterprises represented by FAW can revitalize the prestige of the eldest sons and assume their responsibilities. After all, FAW, SAIC, and other state-owned enterprises belong to the country, and the development results belong to the country. It is ultimately a loss of wealth for private enterprises to capture the electric vehicle market.

Huawei's Inevitability

As a high-tech company, Huawei excels in data processing and solution design, making it a perfect match as a participant in the standards.

Some people may dislike Huawei, but Huawei's technological strength is certified by the United States, of course, also by China.

Recently, the 2023 National Science and Technology Progress Awards were announced, and Huawei won 4 first-prize awards for scientific and technological progress (out of a total of 13 first-prize awards).

Qiaofu's Postscript: 1. With industry standards, we can put an end to the war of words and restore clarity to automotive public opinion. 2. As China's electric vehicles go overseas, Chinese standards must also follow suit, which is crucial. 3. Instead of fighting internally over prices, it is better to compete in overseas markets. The domestic market is a stock market, while the overseas market is an incremental market. Achieving growth in the incremental market is the real deal.
