Vehicle not only petrol, diesel-driven, but also coal methanol, ethanol, electricity and fuel cells as an alternative fuel. According to recently at the 11th China Beijing International High-Beijing and the same period in the "energy and new energy development in the international forum" on that, with energy and the growing environmental pressures, China's automobile industry is seeking changes in pressure -- The car has become a clean energy automotive industry direction for the development of new energy, auto industry pattern of the initial show.

Methanol can be prospects of the auto industry

"Alcohol ether coal-based fuels in particular, methanol fuel, in the coal-rich Shanxi Province and other provinces system has been operating for more than 20 years. Practice has proved that it is able to effectively implement large-scale alternative energy sources, the main force is expected to play a role." In an interview with reporters , Shanxi Province, methanol and methanol fuel cars leading group and director of the Office of Xiao-chi said excitedly.

Shanxi Province is the first in the country under the guidance of methanol and methanol into the fuel vehicle research and development areas of the provinces. As early as in the last century the mid-1980s, the state departments concerned with the Shanxi Province launched a joint laden car in the M15 methanol blended with gasoline demonstration projects. After 20 years of application and research and development, at present, methanol fuel engine, methanol cars and exhaust gas purification devices, and other key technologies have been resolved.

According to Xiao-chi and, currently work in Shanxi Province to promote methanol fuel from the "pilot demonstration phase" into the "industrialization of the promotion stage." As at the end of 2007, cumulative sales of methanol in Shanxi province more than 50 million tons of gasoline, methanol consumption of 13 million tons, methanol addition built on more than 770 stations, of which a high percentage of methanol added 17 points. Blended with the participation of 30 million vehicles Liangci, to participate in the demonstration bus a total of 260, the longest mileage of 360,000 kilometers.

"China's abundant coal reserves, the end of 2006 has proven reserves of 114.5 billion tons, accounting for the total global proven reserves of 12.6 percent." China Automobile Industry Association member of the Committee of Experts Ronghui Kang believes that "with oil compared to the size of the conditions The coal-to-methanol economy has a strong competitive edge. "

According to Xiao-chi and, using methanol as an alternative fuel vehicles, with rich resources, technology is mature, low-cost, and many other advantages, the scale of alternative can be implemented. "In the economic aspects of production, high-sulfur and low quality coal can be used for methanol production, production means, the basic line of mature, production costs can be controlled at 1,000 yuan / ton around the same time, the use of economic, the current gasoline Retail price of around 6,670 yuan / ton, while methanol is only 2,850 yuan / ton, the economy is extremely significant. "

Relying on the abundant coal resources and the development of increasingly mature technology, methanol cars are showing a broad market prospect. Currently, some domestic car companies have developed a methanol cars, Chery has developed 1.6 L emissions of methanol-based economy flexible fuel cars, and last through expert review, its dynamic, emissions and economic aspects of superior Petrol vehicles, the total emissions of the three standards. Taiyuan in Shanxi to conduct two test run after the taxi market ready to run. Shanghai Maple has developed M100 methanol cars, but also ready to invest in Shanxi market.

Methanol in the high-powered car engine, the R & D and production are carried out with great fanfare. It is understood that the liberation of Shanxi Province, the company has reached an agreement with FAW, FAW will soon set up the Shanxi Jing Ye engine manufacturing company, R & D and production of high proportion of high-powered engine methanol, the power of 90-280 horsepower. FAW liberation of companies that match the corresponding development of methanol vehicles this year will also be on the market.

Vehicle diversified energy industry pattern Chuxian

Vehicle energy diversification has been a new energy in China's automobile industry development focus. The end of 2006, to continue to promote the development of China's clean vehicle, the Ministry of Science and Technology started the "11th Five-Year Plan" 863 Program "energy saving and new energy vehicle" major projects. The project to fuel cell vehicles, hybrid vehicles and pure electric vehicles, power system technology platform for the "three vertical" to power fuel cells and batteries, electric drive system technology, technology as the common basis of the "three horizontal", for electric vehicles "Three vertical and three horizontal" development of the overall layout, while strengthening alternative fuel cars and key technology research and development, demonstration and marketing applications.

After several years of efforts, China's addition to the "coal-based" vehicle of methanol, ethanol vehicles, hybrid vehicles, gas-electric vehicles and cars all have developed by leaps and bounds, new energy, auto industry pattern has preliminarily Show.

According to Rong Hui Kang, now nine provinces and municipalities in China have been promoting the use of ethanol in gasoline, the use of ethanol is about 1.3 million tons. The hybrid, the FAW Group, Dongfeng Group, Chery Automobile, Geely Group, Chang'an Automobile Group, and other companies have developed related models, including hybrid Chang'an Group has CV11 MPV cars off the assembly line, is about to achieve industrialization. In gas vehicles, has been FAW, SAIC Chery, Dongfeng, Geely nearly 10 manufacturers, such as the dozens of products, market competition has already begun to take shape. In pure electric vehicles, BYD batteries in the development of comprehensive performance has been achieved a major breakthrough in solving the electric car battery life, fast charge, added to a series of major issues, such as mileage, the vehicle in the car also solved the maximum speed And accelerate the time, and other technical problems, for industrialization has created conditions; In addition, SAIC has joint State Grid Corporation has developed the electric bus, 825 Road 10 electric buses in Shanghai have been successful on-line operators.

New Energy Automobile Industry Development is the general trend. Chongqing Changan Automobile Co., Ltd., program director, Ren Yong believes that at present, the world's major countries and manufacturers have attached great importance to the development of new energy and automotive and marketing of China's automobile industry, energetically develop new energy vehicles, is not only deal with the increasingly serious Energy and environmental challenges, but also to seize the global auto industry competition in the high ground, the industry realized leap-forward development of the inevitable choice.

According to the State Development and Reform Commission on April 25 announced as the "vehicle production enterprises and products (No. 164 approved)" 2008 Notice No. 29, this year including the Shanghai Volkswagen Passat fuel cell cars, 7, of the new Vehicle permit access to energy production, approved a one-time 7 of new energy production of motor vehicles, but also let people see China's new energy of the auto industry a bright future.
