Following on April 20, Beiteng “hands in hand†with China FAW to start a new cooperation between car manufacturers and traditional car companies, less than a week later, another new carmaker – Singularity Cars opened on the first day of the 2018 Beijing Car Show. (April 25) Announced heavy information on strategic cooperation with BAIC New Energy. In just a few days, the two new car companies have successively cooperated with traditional car companies. The reason for this is that they must have passed the production qualification Qare. As we all know, since the May Development and Reform Commission approved the 100,000-unit pure electric passenger car project of the Jianghuai Volkswagen in May 2017, it has stopped the approval process for new energy vehicle production qualifications, and it is unlikely to restart approval in the short term. As a result, as of now, the companies that have obtained the qualification for new energy vehicles issued by the National Development and Reform Commission have stopped at 15, and there are only six car companies that have simultaneously obtained the qualification access from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. In the early days, in the face of “one vote harder to obtain†production qualification, the emerging manufacturing companies that raced against time accelerated the mass production process by looking for the traditional OEM “manufacturersâ€. For example, Weilai used Jianghuai and Xiaopeng to help. With the help of hippocampus and so on. However, companies are gradually realizing that in the long run, without independent production qualifications, brands can easily lose autonomy. At the moment, in the face of closed qualifications, the new forces that want to maintain a high degree of autonomy have begun to exhaust all ways to obtain qualifications. Among them, the more representative one is the Weimar Automobile, which has always been a self-built factory. At the beginning of this year, Weimar Automobile was dug into the old-brand automobile production company Zhongshun Automobile and transferred Zhongshun’s production qualification in Liaoning to the production of its own factory in Wenzhou. The curve has obtained the qualification for new energy vehicle production. In addition, on April 20, Betta announced its debut in China and announced a strategic cooperation with FAW, officially opening another way of cooperation between the old and new vehicle manufacturers. It is reported that according to the agreement, China FAW will participate in the Betta B round of financing as a strategic investor. In the future, the two sides will also conduct in-depth cooperation in product development, production, sales and service. Talking about this cooperation, Beuteng’s CEO and co-founder, Bi Fukang, frankly stated: “Establishing any kind of cooperation should focus on the overall situation, and it needs a balance of interests and a win-win result. It now appears that the new energy vehicle manufacturing qualifications. The approval may not be restarted until the second half of this year or next year. Therefore, on the one hand, we will actively prepare to apply for qualifications. On the other hand, we need to plan ahead and consider other options." The starting point for the cooperation between Singularity and BAIC New Energy is also inseparable from this. It is understood that the singularity car established in 2015 (formerly known as "Smart Car") has also chosen the OEM model in the early stages of development. “The reason why we chose the OEM model at the beginning of creation was mainly due to lack of funds and lack of production qualifications. Our strategy is good, but the shortcoming is in the manufacturing industry. We are now building a base and manufacturing industry. To do it, make up for the short board,†Shen Haijun once said in an interview with the media. Thus, by the end of 2016, Singularity began to shift from OEM to its own factory. At that time, Shen Haifeng announced that it will build a new energy automobile industrial park in Tongling, Anhui Province, with a total investment of 8 billion yuan and an annual production capacity of 200,000 vehicles. It plans to complete the first phase of construction in 2018. At the end of March this year, another production base in Singular announced its settlement in Suzhou. According to reports, the total construction area of ​​the Suzhou production base is 400,000 square meters, and the first-phase production base covers an area of ​​600 mu and the annual production capacity is reached. 50,000 units, 400 acres of second-phase production base, and the total annual production capacity is expected to reach 200,000. The two major production bases will be carried out at the same time, especially the Tongling base that will be completed and constructed soon. There is no qualification or no option. At the booth announcement, Shen Haijing, CEO of Singular Point Automotive, stated in public that Beiqi New Energy will become an important partner of Singularity, and cooperate in the development of intelligent vehicle technology, charging and replacing of electricity facilities, distribution network, and sharing of manufacturing resources. . At the same time, Singular Point Automotive will join the national-level new energy vehicle technology innovation center led by Beiqi New Energy and participate in the joint construction. Entering 2018, various emerging car companies gradually enter the product production and production year. It can be imagined that following the cooperation between Beiteng and Singularity and traditional car companies, the cooperation between new and old car companies will become more frequent. .
