On public cooperation with Jianghuai "scandal", it is being accelerated to become a reality.
Early December Volkswagen Group (China) President and CEO Heizmann open to the media said the two sides had a "preliminary understanding", and the public have also been visited global executives located in Hefei, Anhui Jianghuai Automobile.
"Now the only contact between the top few." JAC an unnamed person to the "Daily Economic News" reporter, "the two sides understand each other just begun, there is no specific content of cooperation out."
For the direction of bilateral cooperation, the industry generally believe that "technology joint venture", "new energy" These will be the JAC cooperation with the public keyword, while Daimler and BYD to be understood as a model of cooperation with the public JAC most likely future cooperation blueprint.
Even so, from the current process of contact between the two sides, the government matchmaking means thicker, but for continued expansion in China, Volkswagen, and eager to return to the mainstream faction of the JAC, the cooperation in the field of new energy or the two sides can reach interests consensus basis points.
Government parties "pull strings"
"During the Guangzhou Auto Show, the two sides met, chatted for a simple greeting, be established contacts." In an interview in early December, the Volkswagen Group (China) President and CEO Heizmann given pair of contact between the two sides such statements.
Currently, the two sides have begun actively approached. After the Guangzhou Auto Show "establish contact", media reports said on December 2, a public global executive vice president of Volkswagen China, and two-level visitors to the JAC, JAC also "high spec" welcomed the public to Interview team.
In fact, after the end of October this year, the JAC and public cooperation "vision" began to attract public attention. "Daily Economic News" reporter learned that, before the public and the JAC may not have the opportunity to discuss this issue.
According to the public stakeholders, the previous investment in the mass 2019 15 new energy vehicles made plans, did not consider cooperation with JAC.
It is understood that after the FAW - Volkswagen built new energy automobile production base in Sichuan Province, is expected to form the initial annual capacity of 50,000; the other hand, the public also discuss with SAIC to upgrade Shanghai Volkswagen Anting base, analysts believe that this Reconstruction also point to the new energy vehicles.
According to informed sources, the contact between the public and the JAC JAC more from the positive statements of the intention of cooperation.
"JAC expressed willingness to cooperate with Volkswagen, the relevant government departments have also talked to matchmaking." A person familiar with the general public in China, said to reporters, "In this context, we begin contacts with JAC, understand their ideas . "
In fact, the JAC of new energy vehicles interior also set a goal, that is, and strive to achieve new energy vehicle sales accounted for 30% of total sales in 2025, and in July released JAC 4.5 billion set by the program, The battery, motor control etc as production direction, and include a new energy passenger cars and commercial vehicles new energy two goals, meaning independent development also thicker.
Even so, the need for new energy vehicles in the business "a prosperous future," the public, as well as JAC craving technology, capital and brand who, by the government "matchmaking" cooperation is still worth the wait.
New energy into a "bridge"
"For the JAC, did not determine the direction of the new energy." A person familiar with the public told the "Daily Economic News" reporter.
However, the present situation, if the JAC and public cooperation can fall, new energy is very likely to be an important part.
"The new energy is a good direction." A source close to the top of the JAC, told reporters, but things still remain the current cooperation in the imagination stage.
In November, sales of JAC of new energy vehicles to reach 1452, and has been close to its peak capacity. The sales volume in size only Beiqi new energy in a pure electric car market.
In the traditional passenger car market is not prominent position compared to, JAC rapid growth in the new energy field, which is also speculation that an important reason for the government brokered outside, Volkswagen can positive response.
And BAIC, SAIC, Chang'an, BYD and other large car prices differ, JAC in technology, brand and traditional passenger car market does not take advantage of the new energy industry is limited nurturing skills, except set by the financing, the JAC of new energy vehicle development has also been a key support for the government of Anhui. On this basis, the JAC also actively looking "fellow human."
According to JAC recent announcement, we have been respectively Putian New Energy, Hua Ting power and other companies in the promotion of new energy, the charge pile-building, power battery production cooperation.
"If we can cooperate with the public will help JAC increase in other brands, technology and profitability aspects." A staff analysis said JAC told reporters, "At present, the way of bilateral cooperation are likely similar to BYD and Daimler Le. "
It is understood that BYD and Daimler establish the Shenzhen BYD Daimler New Technology Co., Ltd., is a joint venture the two sides to "technology joint venture" approach established its operating brand new energy vehicles, "Teng potential" in public in China Under the existing two joint ventures in the background, this joint venture model is probably one of the few alternative ways of.
Because of Daimler's background, Teng potential to become China's new energy automotive industry in the new brand positioning in the high-end, currently two models priced at 369,000 ~ 399,000 yuan. Teng potential after another in Shenzhen, Beijing, Shanghai and other cities listed on the end of last year, before November of this year has made a total of 2000 sales, which in November sold more than 700.
For the general public and the JAC, the new energy vehicles is the focus areas of the layout of China's auto industry, whether it is technology or production capacity of the new partnership, we will be focused on this new direction.
