Toyota first clears new energy vehicle development route in China

Compared to the aggressive strategies of Volkswagen and General Motors in the Chinese market, Toyota's pace of development in China has been relatively conservative. However, Toyota is hoping to change this status through the world's largest auto R&D center invested in Changshu.

Although Toyota also for the first time clarified the roadmap for the development of new energy vehicles in China, the slowness of Toyota in advancing new energy vehicles in China has attracted the slogan from the National Development and Reform Commission.

Chen Jianguo, deputy director of the Industry Coordination Department of the National Development and Reform Commission, said in his speech that Toyota Motor has advanced new-energy vehicle technology, but it does not provide sufficient technical support for the research and development of new energy vehicles for the two joint ventures of FAW Toyota and Guangzhou Toyota.

The relevant national authorities had required key auto companies to have certified new energy vehicles in 2009, but GAC Toyota and FAW Toyota had not yet realized the development of new energy vehicles. Toyota did not pull the brothers at a critical time. Toyota's two partners are lagging behind in the area of ​​new energy vehicles, and hope that the amount put into the market can reach the top in the future. "Chen Jianguo said.

The Changshu R&D Center is the world's largest R&D center in Toyota's R&D system, with an investment of US$689 million.

In the eyes of Toyota Motor, hybrid technology is a common technology for the above-mentioned strategic new energy vehicles, whether they are plug-in hybrids, pure electric vehicles, or fuel cell vehicles. Because Toyota's hybrid system can use the electric energy in the battery to drive the motor to achieve electric-only mode driving, and with the foundation of these hybrid core components (battery, motor, etc.), hybrid technology can relatively easily achieve out-feed charging. Hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles and fuel cell vehicles.

"The Toyota Motor Association will promote these technologies in all directions." The managing director of Toyota Motor Corporation, Ji Guikuan, told the "First Financial Daily" that "an alternative to most vehicles at this stage can be hybrid vehicles, or plug-in rechargeable hybrids." Power vehicles (PHEVs) can also be fuel cell vehicles. There is no absolute good or bad comparison between technology and technology. They are symbiotic, not exclusionary.

Toyota Motor Corp. President Akio Toyoda said: "Toyota has decided to develop vehicles equipped with domestic hybrid powertrains during the 12th Five-Year Plan period, and will strive to achieve production and sales of FAW Toyota and GAC Toyota around 2015." In an interview with a reporter, the vice president of the Toyota Motor R&D Center responsible for technology research and development said that the R&D of core technologies was put into a wholly-owned R&D center, and the integration of technological achievements and mass production were put into the technology center of the joint venture company. . Through the wholly-owned R&D center to achieve the localization of key components, both the government's localization requirements can be fulfilled and core technology leakage can be avoided.

According to sources related to Toyota Motor, Toyota Motor Corporation plans to introduce plug-in hybrid vehicles to the Chinese market in 2012 and pure electric vehicles to the Chinese market in 2013.

In order to encourage enterprises to promote the production of new energy vehicles in greater depth, Chen Jianguo also revealed that the state is formulating a series of new energy industry plans. The next step is to upgrade the national industrial policies and require backbone auto companies not only to own new energy vehicles, but also to market. Make a clear request on the volume. Chen Jianguo believes that plug-in hybrid vehicles are better than existing battery electric vehicles and are more easily accepted by consumers than pure electric vehicles.
