Dong Yang: The auto industry should play a leading role in Made in China 2025

"Is there any room for the development of automobiles? My conclusion is that there is. Last year, the development rate was relatively slow, down to 4%, and we predict that this year is 6%." Dong Yang, executive vice president of the China Automobile Industry Association, judged.

At the "Tsinghua University Auto Industry Summit Forum" held recently, Dong Yang comprehensively analyzed the overall situation of China's auto industry from the following aspects: whether the growth rate of the auto industry is reasonable, the development path of Chinese brands during the "13th Five-Year Plan", and the relationship between "Made in China 2025" and the auto industry.

Talking about why the growth rate of the automobile market fell to 4% last year, Dong Yang listed several factors. First of all, there are restrictions on purchase in cities. "Last year, there were seven cities with restrictions on purchase, and the car sales in these seven cities accounted for 15% of the national market in 2010." Next, there are restrictions on the relocation of "used cars" in most of the medium and above cities in the country. The State Council specifically issued a document this year, clearly stating that this is not allowed.

"I think there will be no problem with the future development of China's auto industry. It is very likely that China's auto production will grow in 20 years, and whether it will grow for 20 years or 15 years depends on our speed. Slow down, and the good days will be longer. This is my overall view of China's auto market," said Dong Yang.

After the reform and opening up, China's automobile industry has made great achievements after more than 30 years of development. In the dilemma of "no money, no technology, no management". Through comprehensive opening up, joint venture and cooperation, it has gradually developed to the status of the world's largest producer and marketer. "If you compare India, Russia, as well as Canada, Brazil and Spain, no matter how big or small their opening policies are, there are very few cars produced in China. Chinese auto brands have not only grown up, but can now export millions of cars (of course, last year's auto exports have declined)." Dong Yang said.

At present, the market share of Chinese auto brands is close to half. Trucks and buses are basically all Chinese brands, and Chinese brands also account for a considerable proportion in the fields of cars and SUVs. In terms of quality, Chinese auto brands are catching up with joint-venture brands. According to statistics, the first failure rate index is only four years behind that of joint-venture brands.
