What opportunities does the automotive industry have in Xiongan New Area?

As a "millennium plan and national event", the emergence of Xiongan New Area in Hebei Province on April Fool's Day has touched the hearts of hundreds of millions of people. This is a major historical strategic decision made by the Party Central Committee with General Secretary Xi Jinping as the core, and it is another new area of ​​national significance after the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone and the Shanghai Pudong New Area.

What are the "bonuses" of Xiongan New Area? The state has made it clear that it is definitely not real estate. The author believes that the construction of the new area and the simultaneous development of related supporting infrastructure should bring new historical opportunities for construction in urbanization, modernization, informatization, greening, and ecology.

What will the construction of Xiongan New Area bring to the automotive industry? Let us analyze it in detail according to the seven key tasks for planning and building Xiongan New Area proposed by General Secretary Xi Jinping.

The first is to "build a green and smart new city and build a world-class, green, modern and smart city". The term "smart city" is not unfamiliar to the automotive industry. To build a smart city, it is a prerequisite to improve the infrastructure. Since it is to be "smart", the requirements for information infrastructure construction must be very high. In the process of building a smart city, "Internet + transportation" is in the vanguard position, which is closely related to automobiles. It can be imagined that the planning and improvement of the "urban transportation brain" in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region will bring many business opportunities to companies related to the Internet of Things, Internet of Vehicles, intelligent transportation, and intelligent logistics, as well as related demonstration area construction projects.

The second is to "create a beautiful ecological environment and build an ecological city with blue and green interweaving, fresh and bright, and water and city integration". For a long time, the environmental protection pressure in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region has been very high. Since it is to build an ecological city, Xiongan New Area will inevitably put forward higher environmental protection requirements for the cars on sale and in use in the area. On the one hand, it will accelerate the renewal and elimination of yellow-label cars and old cars, and on the other hand, it will vigorously promote clean energy cars.

The third is to "develop high-end and high-tech industries, actively absorb and gather innovative elements and resources, and cultivate new momentum". Independent innovation and transformation development are the endogenous driving forces for the current upgrading of the automotive industry. In recent years, under the general environment of the country's encouragement of entrepreneurship and innovation, innovative companies focusing on new automotive technologies, new materials, new products, and new business models have emerged in an endless stream. After the establishment of Xiongan New Area, some incentives may be introduced to introduce high-tech industries and absorb high-quality resources, which will provide new options for the next layout and development of traditional auto companies and automotive startups.

The fourth is to "provide high-quality public services, build high-quality public facilities, and create a new model for urban management". Under the general trend of the development of the sharing economy, high-quality public transportation services and related supporting facilities will become one of the "models" of Xiongan New Area. In line with the rapid development of the economy, population, industry, and market in Xiongan New Area, some new high-quality public services will also be promoted as key areas, and work with local management departments to launch some projects that are suitable for the local area, which will naturally include new formats such as online car-hailing, time-sharing rental, and shared bicycles.

The fifth is to "build a fast and efficient transportation network and create a green transportation system." Putting "transportation" as an independent focus shows the country's determination to manage congestion, improve the traffic environment, and solve the problem of low transportation efficiency. Needless to say, intelligent transportation construction will be the focus of future new district construction and even major cities across the country, and automobile-related companies should and must actively participate in it.

The sixth is to "promote institutional reform, give full play to the decisive role of the market in resource allocation and better play the role of the government, and stimulate market vitality". The reform and innovation of the institutional mechanism will greatly stimulate the development vitality of the new area, which will also have great appeal to enterprises. my country's automobile industry is at the crossroads of institutional reform and management adjustment, and there is a lot of room for imagination about what opportunities there will be.

Seventh, "expand all-round opening up to the outside world, create a new high ground for opening up and a new platform for foreign cooperation". my country's automobile enterprises have achieved rapid development by taking advantage of the dividends released by reform and opening up. Their business has gradually expanded from automobile manufacturing and sales to finance, services and other fields, and they are actively planning to layout the global market. As a new window for "opening up to the outside world", Xiongan New Area will bring significant benefits to the further "going out" of automobile-related enterprises in and around the area.

In short, the construction of Xiongan New Area and the development of the local economy will release huge dividends for the development of commercial vehicles, passenger vehicles, clean energy vehicles, smart vehicles (transportation), the automobile market and even automobile finance, which is worthy of the attention and expectation of all automotive people.
