Automobile industry production capacity takes the lead in Beijing

05/13/2016 

In order to promote the structural adjustment and transformation of the automobile industry, strengthen industrial development information services, and guide enterprises and social capital to invest rationally, the National Development and Reform Commission (Industrial Coordination Department), together with the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers and the China Automotive Technology Research Center, recently established relevant departments. Working mechanism for vehicle transport capacity survey and analysis and information release, vehicle transport capacity survey and analysis are carried out regularly, and industry associations organize information release.

Director, Industrial Coordination Department, National Development and Reform Commission

On the afternoon of May 11, 2016, the automobile industry production capacity information conference was held in Beijing. Director Wu Wei of the Industrial Coordination Department of the National Development and Reform Commission introduced the relevant work background. Huang Yonghe, chief engineer of the Automotive Technology and Information Research Institute of China Automotive Technology and Research Center, introduced the production capacity of the automobile industry. Automobile industry production capacity as of the end of 2015.

By the end of 2015, the vehicle production capacity exceeded 30 million units.

According to a survey of 37 major automobile companies (groups) that accounted for more than 98% of automobile production in 2015, by the end of 2015, the total vehicle production capacity was 31.22 million units, and the production capacity under construction exceeded 6 million units. Among the existing production capacities, the passenger car production capacity is 25.75 million units; the commercial vehicle production capacity is 5.47 million units, including 2.18 million N2 and N3 trucks (the largest trucks with a total design mass greater than 3.5 tons) and 1.01 million passenger cars. car.

The vehicle engine capacity basically matches the vehicle production capacity. At the end of 2015, the production capacity of 40 major automobile and engine companies (groups) in the automobile industry was 28.18 million units.

The production capacity of key parts of new energy vehicles basically meets domestic supporting needs. At the end of 2015, the production capacity of the 19 major automotive power battery companies surveyed was 30.5 billion watt hours. The top 12 automotive drive motor companies have a driving capacity of 700,000 units, and the top 12 automotive motor controller companies have a motor controller production capacity of 680,000 units.

There are obvious differences in the regional distribution of domestic automobile production capacity. By the end of 2015, there were 26 provincial-level administrative regions with complete vehicle production capabilities. Among them, the production capacity of Chongqing, Hubei, Guangdong, Shandong, Jiangsu, Beijing, Jilin, Liaoning, Zhejiang, Anhui and other countries accounts for about 2/3 of the country; the eight provincial-level administrative regions with a total national output of less than 500,000 vehicles have less than 90 vehicles. Ten thousand cars.

(Note: The above production capacity is calculated based on two shifts per day and 250 working days. In the actual production process, due to working hours arrangement and equipment maintenance, there will be certain differences in production capacity and output.)

2. The utilization of automobile production capacity is unbalanced and structural excess capacity appears.

In 2015, the passenger car production capacity utilization rate of 37 major automobile companies (groups) was 81%, which was reasonable production capacity utilization; the commercial vehicle utilization rate was 52%, which was insufficient production capacity utilization. Among them, N2 and N3 trucks account for 49%, and passenger cars account for 56%.

As my country's economic development enters a new normal, the growth rate of the automobile market has slowed down significantly, and the problem of structural overcapacity in automobile production has emerged. Relevant parties need to pay attention to: First, the utilization rate of commercial vehicles is low, and it is not appropriate to blindly increase investment in production capacity; investment in the power battery field is relatively hot, companies are scattered, and technology and development levels are uneven. It is necessary to prevent low-level duplication of construction. Third, enterprises should focus on increasing investment in new technologies, new products, and industrialization, and improve the utilization rate of existing production capacity. Strengthen resource integration capabilities and actively carry out international production capacity cooperation.
