Intelligent networked new energy vehicles: the driving force of the transformation of the automobile industry
On March 12, Premier Li Qiang presided over an executive meeting of the State Council to discuss and approve the “State Council’s 2025 Key Work Division Plan”. The meeting clearly pointed out that it is necessary to refine measures and speed up implementation, race against time with various uncertainties, and work hard and move forward. At the same time, closely follow the changes in the situation and make good policy reserves to ensure that they can be launched in time and take effect as soon as possible when needed.In the 2025 “Government Work Report”, there is a key word “artificial intelligence +”. It is proposed to stimulate the innovative vitality of the digital economy, continue to promote the “artificial intelligence +” action, better combine digital technology with manufacturing advantages and market advantages, support the widespread application of large models, and vigorously develop intelligent networked new energy vehicles.
”Intelligent driving is no longer a rare thing that is out of reach, but more like a necessary tool to improve driving safety and reduce driving fatigue.” At the press conference held recently, BYD Chairman Wang Chuanfu showed a video of actual testing on a mountain road in Guizhou: a BYD car equipped with high-level intelligent driving identified a flock of sheep crossing the road in the thick fog, actively avoided it, and turned on the double flash to remind the following car. It should be noted that the automotive industry has accelerated its transformation to electrification, networking and intelligence, and has become an important force in promoting new industrialization and developing new quality productivity. Zhang Guanghou, deputy director of the Technical Center of the Comprehensive Transportation Research Institute of the National Development and Reform Commission, said in an interview with a reporter from China Economic Times that the superposition of new energy vehicles with intelligence and networking is not only a technical innovation, but also a reconstruction of the entire automotive industry ecosystem. It will promote the transformation of automobiles from a single means of transportation to an intelligent mobile space, and at the same time give birth to new business models and market competition patterns. On the one hand, the transformation of automobile product forms and functions will accelerate the upgrading and iteration of technologies such as autonomous driving and smart cars. On the other hand, it will reshape the automotive industry landscape, accelerate the integration of traditional car companies and technology companies, and reconstruct the automotive industry chain.
Cui Dongshu, secretary-general of the National Passenger Car Market Information Joint Conference, said in an interview with a reporter from China Economic Times that intelligent networking will bring huge industrial changes to the automotive industry and realize electrification transformation. Electrification will bring a new product experience to the entire industry and will play a major role in opening up consumer scenarios. In an interview with a reporter from China Economic Times, Lin Cheng, chief scientist of the National Engineering Research Center for Electric Vehicles of Beijing Institute of Technology, said that intelligent networking will enrich the functions of new energy vehicles and enable the relevant infrastructure around new energy vehicles to develop in a rolling manner. At the same time, it will be combined with intelligent transportation, smart cities, and smart grids to open up a larger space for new energy vehicles. The reporter found that “intelligent networked vehicles” have been mentioned in the “Government Work Report” for two consecutive years, but the expressions are different – the expression in 2024 is “consolidating and expanding the leading advantages of industries such as intelligent networked new energy vehicles”, and the expression in 2025 is “vigorously developing intelligent networked new energy vehicles”.
In an interview with a reporter from China Economic Times, Wang Qing, deputy director of the Institute of Market Economy of the Development Research Center of the State Council, said that the rapid development of my country’s intelligent networked vehicles, on the one hand, is due to the overall innovation capabilities and ecology. The resource elements required for the commercialization of new technologies can be quickly integrated in the market to form an innovation advantage for the entire industrial chain.
On the other hand, it benefits from the advantages of a super-large-scale market. It is not only reflected in the large market scale itself, and the ability of innovative products to quickly reach the critical point of commercialization scale, but also in the fact that consumers in my country are more willing to try and accept new technologies and new products. In 2024, the “Forecast of Incremental Output Value of the Intelligent Connected Vehicle Industry with Integrated Vehicle-Road-Cloud” report released by the China Society of Automotive Engineers showed that under a neutral expectation scenario, by 2030, the incremental output value of the intelligent connected vehicle industry with integrated vehicle-road-cloud will be 2.5825 trillion yuan.
