my country attaches great importance to the new energy vehicle industry. Relying on the regional development carrier represented by Hefei Economic and Technological Development Zone, the new energy vehicle industry has shown explosive growth and achieved outstanding results. From the production and sales of 17,500 vehicles and 17,600 vehicles respectively in 2013, to the production and sales of 12.888 million vehicles and 12.866 million vehicles respectively in 2024, my country has become the world's largest producer and seller of new energy vehicles. New energy vehicles have become one of China's "three new exports" and a bright business card that highlights the advantages of my country's high-end manufacturing industry.

The new energy automobile industry is an important part of the modern industrial system. It is not only consistent with the global low-carbon transformation trend, but also closely aligned with my country's "double carbon" goal, becoming a representative of promoting the transformation of traditional industries. In the era of digital economy, artificial intelligence, low-carbon environmental protection, and Internet of Things technologies continue to empower the development of new energy vehicles. In addition, the automobile industry has a complete range of categories, strong infrastructure supporting capabilities, and institutional opening-up continues to deepen. my country's new energy vehicles have gradually improved the industrial chain, continued to improve research and development levels, continuously expanded market space, and increasingly enhanced industrial driving effects. A number of brand companies with high technical levels, fast development speed, and international competitiveness have emerged, such as BYD, Chery, Xiaomi, and NIO.

It should also be noted that the international competition in the field of new energy vehicles is intensifying. At the same time, there are still problems such as high dependence on foreign vehicles for vehicle chips and key mineral resources, slow low-temperature charging, large decline in cruising range, and insufficient standardized recovery rates of power batteries. Targeted measures must be taken to continue to polish China's business card for new energy vehicles. It is necessary to strengthen basic research work, fully apply the new generation of information technology and artificial intelligence technology, strengthen research and development innovation in core areas such as domestic car-grade chips, vehicle operating systems and all-solid-state power batteries, break through the "stuck neck" problem, achieve independent control, strive to improve the quality and technical level of new energy vehicles, and strengthen charging and battery life stability. It is also necessary to strengthen supporting support, introduce power battery recycling standards, cultivate high-tech recycling enterprises for new energy vehicle battery recycling and solid waste utilization, and solve the "last mile" environmental protection problem. It is also necessary to effectively improve the international operation capabilities of enterprises, promote enterprises to skillfully use international rules to actively respond to unreasonable investment and w88 protectionist measures, and strengthen the role of industry associations in protecting the legitimate interests of enterprises. It is also essential to diversify the international market. While trying to stabilize the markets of developed countries, we should also increase efforts to open up emerging markets and developing countries. Through the joint construction of the "Belt and Road", we will promote new energy vehicle companies to "go global", extend the industrial chain, promote the security and resilience of the new energy vehicle supply chain, support more new energy vehicle companies to build international manufacturing and service brands, and comprehensively enhance their influence.
