Recently, while effectively preventing and controlling the epidemic, efforts to resume work and production have increased, and many industries have begun to gradually recover. With the "return to work key" turned on, what is the situation all over the country? What are the new changes in economic operation? Big data outlines a map of steady economic recovery.
Courier returns to work
Productive service enterprises take the lead in "moving"
In the past few days, at the entrance of No.21 Chengfu Road, Haidian District, Beijing, there has been an endless stream of express delivery vehicles. The staff of China Post, SF, JD.COM, Zhongtong and other companies are wearing masks to sort out express parcels, and the incoming consignees are methodically picking up the pieces by code.
"The disposable gloves, disinfectant and other protective products purchased online a few days ago have arrived in these two days." Mr. Lin, a resident of the community, said that he felt that the efficiency of express delivery has improved significantly recently. Yesterday, the express delivery just received the order, and today he received the goods. The courier also said that in recent days, with the increase of rework personnel and the gradual resumption of work by various companies, the delivery volume and shipment volume of express delivery have increased significantly.
The reporter learned from the State Post Bureau that the express delivery industry has returned to normal production capacity of more than 40%. On February 17th, 112 million pieces of express mail were collected nationwide, accounting for 60% of the normal business volume, and the delivery volume exceeded 80 million pieces, exceeding 40% of the normal business volume. The courier brother has more than 2 million people returning to work.
The logistics industry gradually resumed work, which led to the reopening of many physical stores. According to the latest data from Alipay, the number of business stores increased by 25% last week, and the number of fast-selling retail stores closely related to the lives of ordinary people increased by 35%. Among them, Shenzhen, Changsha and Guangzhou have the largest increase, ranking in the top three, and many cities are entering the stage of orderly resumption of work.
A few days ago, Alipay and the online merchant bank conducted a questionnaire survey on 20,000 small stores. The results showed that 88% of them said that they would not reduce their employees this year, 38% said they would recruit other employees, and more than half of them thought that their income could still exceed last year.
Productive service enterprises take the lead in "moving", get through the blocking points of production and living materials circulation, and ensure the effective supply of production materials and living materials, which will effectively promote the comprehensive resumption of work and production.
Production capacity "live"
Netizens share the traffic jam "Little Lucky"
Since the 18th, many netizens have taken photos of traffic jams in their cities in their circle of friends and Weibo, but they are a little excited instead of complaining.
According to the real-time road conditions of Baidu Map App during the morning rush hour on the 19th, the overall congestion situation in Beijing has rebounded slightly. After experiencing the life of pressing the "pause button", we saw the normality of life from the crowded traffic. Nowadays, the traffic volume is increasing, and the peak congestion is returning, which means that the number of enterprises returning to work and production is gradually increasing.
Electric power is a barometer of economic development, which directly reflects the resumption of work and production in various industries. The power index of enterprises returning to work also provides the possibility of "two mistakes" for epidemic prevention and returning to work.
When the machine rings, there are two thousand gold. Guangdong, with an economic aggregate of more than 10 trillion yuan and a strong manufacturing cluster, has an eye-catching performance in returning to work. As of February 14th, the electricity consumption in Guangdong Province continued to rise obviously, with an increase of 18.7% compared with the day before the resumption of work (9th). Among them, industrial electricity consumption grew rapidly, with the growth rate reaching 67.5% compared with the day before the resumption of work (9th). This shows that Guangdong enterprises are working at full capacity to resume production. According to the calculation of electricity consumption, over 60% of enterprises in Guangdong have resumed work.
Shanghai’s performance in returning to work is also particularly outstanding. From the perspective of industry classification, among the industries above designated size, the sub-sectors such as public utilities and pharmaceutical industry, represented by electric water and gas, have relatively good capacity recovery, with a compound yield of over 65%; The electronics industry maintained a high level of resumption of production, reaching 80.29%. In the tertiary industry, the information transmission software, financial industry and other sub-industries have resumed production relatively well, with the recovery rate exceeding 60%; The recovery rate of accommodation and catering industry, which was greatly affected by the epidemic, was 52.3%, which was relatively low.
Zhejiang, a major economic province seriously affected by the epidemic, has a relatively stable trend of electricity consumption recovery. As of February 14th, the last working day of last week, Zhejiang announced that the power index of enterprises returning to work was 27.55. Generally speaking, if the normal production index of all enterprises is 100, then nearly one-third of enterprises in Zhejiang have resumed production. Although the value of 27.55 needs to be improved, the current warming trend is very obvious.
The new format is "on fire"
A more active online scene
Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic, while the whole people have carried out the prevention and control of the epidemic, it has also promoted the prevalence of new formats. In addition to the good achievements in traditional online consumption fields such as retail, catering and games, it has also spawned a number of new formats such as telecommuting, aerial classroom and online medical care.
"To what extent do you buy food online now? Every day, you need to make an appointment in advance and snap up at a fixed point. Many platforms can’t buy sought-after materials such as vegetables and eggs if you don’t pay attention. " Mr. Zhang, who just returned to Beijing from Tianjin, said.
Online data can well interpret Mr. Zhang’s online shopping experience. According to public data, during the Spring Festival this year, the order volume of take-away food in Beijing increased by 9 times year-on-year, and the order of Shangchao also increased by more than 2 times year-on-year; In the past week, the order quantity of box horse in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu and other places reached 5-10 times as usual; During the period from New Year’s Eve to the fourth day of every day, the paid-in transaction volume increased by 321% compared with the same period of last year. It is estimated that the total sales volume in the seven days of the Spring Festival will exceed 40 million pieces. Ding-dong’s orders for buying vegetables on New Year’s Eve increased by over 300% compared with the previous month. The epidemic has given birth to a great increase in the demand for fresh e-commerce orders, and the industry has ushered in development.
At the same time of returning to work, returning to school is another challenge facing the whole society. Under the developed network environment, "air classroom" and "telecommuting" came into being, and they are the new formats spawned by "home economy".
Recently, among the top 10 applications for business downloads in the mobile app store, 9 are online office or online conference software, and online office software has surpassed WeChat, ranking first in the free download list. According to nail statistics, about 200 million people work on the platform within a few days of construction. After this period of practice, many enterprises began to consider turning telecommuting into the normal state and putting the saved rent into production.
"Stop studying" is the word most mentioned by parents of teachers and students. On February 10th, Shenzhen Education Bureau held a media briefing to inform about the development of online teaching. On the same day, 88 ordinary high schools in the city started online teaching at the same time, and new courses were offered live according to the syllabus. On February 10th, the first day of school in Shenzhen Middle School, 286 teachers and more than 2,700 students from the whole school started an online teaching and learning tour through Tencent Classroom, and the first public class attracted more than 30,000 people to watch it live.
In addition to the education industry and corporate office, online business growth has also occurred in government affairs, medical care and other industries. It is reported that the number of government+medical epidemic service applets has reached hundreds, and many experts expressed optimism about its future development potential. I believe that the whole society will re-examine the value of technology after the epidemic.

Foreword:If A-class car owners focus on market sales, then mid-to-high-end cars reflect the comprehensive strength of major automakers. After all, the prices of luxury cars are constantly falling, and the backbone models of joint venture brands are firmly in the market. As an independent brand, the road of mid-to-high-end models to break through is a strong proof of the brand’s upward trend.
As a high-end brand of Chery Automobile, Xingtu achieved good results in the first half of this year. It can be seen from the annual report of Chery Automobile in the first half of the year that the year-on-year growth of 97% is very strong. The quality of sales directly reflects the strength of products. It is not difficult to see that Xingtu has successively launched products such as Xingtu Lanyue 400T, Wind Chaser ET-i, Xingtu LX "Versailles Edition" and Xingtu TX "Super Four-wheel drive Edition" and other products that have been recognized by the market.

The on-site performance of Chasing Wind ET-i is commendable in terms of the comprehensive strength of its products. After Chery implemented a three-step model in oil vehicles, hybrids, and pure electricity, it has continuously strengthened research and development in the field of new energy. Xingtu Chasing Wind ET-i provides two power modes EV (pure electric) and HEV (hybrid). HEV mode also has two standard and sports driving modes. Rich power versions meet more consumer travel needs.
Some people say that Xingtu is the king of rolls, mainly because its power and configuration are too willing to invest in costs compared to the same level. In terms of power, Xingtu Chasing Wind ET-i will be equipped with Chery’s newly developed Star Core ET-i full-engine super hybrid technology, composed of a 1.5T four-cylinder turbocharged engine and dual motors, with a maximum torque of 230N · m, a maximum horsepower of 156Ps, a maximum power of 115kW official zero hundred kilometers acceleration of 6.8S, with a 3-speed DHT hybrid special transmission, driving smoother.

In terms of intelligent configuration, Xingtu Chasing ET-i is equipped with Lion Lion Zhiyun 4.0 system, equipped with remote control, FOTA cloud upgrade, GPS real-time vehicle navigation, AR enhanced real-world navigation and other functions. For driving safety, Bosch’s latest IPB1.1 intelligent electronic control braking system, adjustable braking capacity recovery system, ABS, EBD, BSA, TCS, HSA, HDC, etc.
As the flagship model of the Xingtu family, the appearance design of the Lanyue 400T is very high-end and atmospheric. It adopts Bentler master chassis adjustment, which has undergone hundreds of shock absorption adjustments and optimizations for complex roads in China to achieve the best balance of sports comfort, continuous cornering is fast and accurate, the chassis supports strongly, the control is stable, and the high-speed cornering lateral support is good, and the grip is strong. Not only that, the BorgWarner AWD intelligent four-wheel drive system equipped with it can automatically distribute the front and rear axle torque according to the real-time situation of the vehicle and the road surface, and the continuous variable transmission of 0-100% torque greatly improves the handling, stability and safety, and easily handles bad road conditions such as mud, sand, ice and snow.
Empowered by the fully upgraded M3X Mars architecture, the Xingtu Lingyun 400T has been improved in performance and intelligence. It is equipped with a star nuclear-powered 400T engine with a maximum thermal efficiency of 41%, showing the hard core strength of 192KW/400N.m.

These leading technical strength has also allowed its Xingtu and other brands to enjoy technological dividends, so that its products have strong power, high comfort, safety and reliability, and take into account fuel economy. It is a high-quality choice with high cost performance and high quality and cost performance. In product marketing, Chery Automobile also reflects the integrity of the technical man, and there is no particularly fancy marketing method, but the brand concept of Xingtu Automobile "understands what users think and pampering users’ needs" is sincere and simple.(Wang Huilan)
No. 1 said: The stock price has collapsed, can it still be eaten?
The restaurant laughed and Meituan cried. The reason is that Meituan-W (03690.HK) was "precision hit".
This is to start with the notice issued by the National Development and Reform Commission on February 18 "Several Policies for Promoting the Recovery and Development of Difficult Industries in the Service Sector". The document pointed out that the guidance of Internet platform companies such as takeout to further reduce the service fee standards of catering merchants means that the commission fees of "takeaway Internet companies" will further decline.
The largest representative of "takeaway Internet companies" is Meituan. According to the data of Prospective Research Institute, Meituan accounted for 67.3% of the total takeaway market in Q1 2021, which is 2.5 times that of the second Ele.me. According to Meituan’s Q3 2021 financial report, the revenue of takeaway business accounted for 54.24% of the total revenue, while the commission fee was 69% of the takeaway revenue.
On February 18, Meituan’s share price plunged, plunging 14.86% that day, and the market value evaporated 200 billion.
This is not the first time Meituan has been subject to policy supervision. On October 8, 2021, Meituan was fined 3.442 billion yuan by the State Administration of Municipal Supervision for implementing "two choices" measures for catering merchants over the past few years.
After the fine, the market fell to Meituan’s hanging heart, and all shouted that it was empty. Meituan’s share price has risen for two consecutive trading days since then, and hit a new high since July 26. Meituan’s 2021 Q3 financial report performance further stabilized the market’s heart, and its takeaway business revenue increased by 28% year-on-year to 26.50 billion yuan.
According to the 2021 Hurun China 500, Meituan ranks third among the top three domestic internet companies by market capitalization as the "biggest winner of the past year", while Alibaba and Tencent have plummeted in "value", fallen in the rankings, and were placed in the top two of the "biggest losers of the past year".
Meituan faces a dilemma
Meituan might have been stable without the "super bearish" on February 18. But Meituan’s long-standing "dilemma" has planted the seeds of its bearish situation.
One "difficult" situation is the thin profit margin of Meituan takeaway. In Q3 2021, the profit per order was only 0.2 yuan, and in the same period in 2020, it was 0.24 yuan.
In order to increase the profit of takeout, Meituan has continuously increased the commission rate (the proportion of commission that Meituan draws per takeout order) over the years. According to Meituan’s annual financial reports, its average commission rate for takeout has increased from 1.1% in 2015 to 12% in 2020.
Increasing the commission rate will naturally lead to conflicts with catering merchants. Meituan has always occupied about 60% of the takeaway market, and merchants have no other choice. They have to swallow it and keep reducing costs.
The epidemic in 2020 has exacerbated this contradiction. Under the epidemic, the catering industry has been hit hard and has to rely on takeout. Meituan’s high commission rate has been pointed out by the "Guangdong Catering Industry to Meituan Takeaway Joint Negotiation Letter" that "greatly exceeds the critical point that the majority of catering merchants endure". Catering associations in Sichuan, Chongqing, Shandong, Yunnan and other places have also publicly "shouted" Meituan and other platforms in the past two years to reduce the commission rate.
This puts Meituan in another "difficult" situation, that is, the pressure from the catering industry to reduce commissions.
Meituan has also expressed its position to adjust the commission system, but the profit margin of Meituan’s takeaway business is thin, so the adjustment cannot fully meet the demands of the catering industry.
For example, in May 2021, Meituan launched a rate transparency pilot, splitting the original platform service fee into two parts: technical service fee and fulfillment service fee, and "refining" the commission. But the new model did not reduce the commission rate of Meituan takeaway. In Q3 2021, the commission rate was still 11.78%, which was not much different from the average commission rate of 12% in 2020.
Epidemic has been on and off for 3 years. According to the Prospective Research Institute, 1 million catering companies closed down last year, and the hotel catering industry ranked first in the top ten shrinking industries. At this time, the National Development and Reform Commission, as a regulatory department, took action and asked the takeaway platform to reduce the commission rate. Although it hit Meituan accurately, it was also very reasonable.
(Source: Prospective Research Institute)
Which business can support Meituan?
With supervision, Meituan must really reduce the commission rate in the future. This will lead to a thinner takeaway business, and Meituan must find a new solution, that is, Meituan must have another business on top, replacing the takeaway business as Meituan’s new revenue pillar.
In this regard, Meituan’s idea has always been to use the drainage effect of takeaway business to develop new business. In terms of traffic, according to Meituan’s Q3 earnings report in 2021, as of Q3, the number of annual active users reached 668 million.
Meituan’s new businesses include Meituan Preferred, Fast Donkey, Meituan Flash Sale, Meituan Market, Meituan Preferred, etc. According to Meituan’s financial report, these new businesses have been developing slowly.
Specifically, fast donkey and Meituan flash sale has not yet developed, according to late Latepost, as early as August 2021, fast donkey, flash sale business has begun to shrink, Meituan began to focus on fresh food e-commerce business Meituan market and community group buying business Meituan preferred.
Meituan market currently uses the front warehouse model, but according to iiMedia consulting data, as of September 2021, its MAU users are only 2.58 million, less than 1/13 of the front warehouse model of Dingdong Maicai 34.71 million, and there is no influence in the market.
Meituan Preferred has become a new hope for Meituan’s new business. According to the statistics of the Financial Union, Meituan Preferred and Duoduo Shopping are located in the first echelon of the domestic community group buying platform industry, with a market share of about 30%. However, this is obtained by constantly burning money.
According to Meituan’s Q3 financial report in 2021, Meituan’s new business loss, which is mainly based on Meituan’s preference, reached 10.906 billion yuan, which is the highest single-quarter loss since Meituan entered the community group buying, an increase of 437.5% year-on-year; Moreover, in one year, Meituan has lost 36 billion yuan in this regard.
Not only is it losing money, but Meituan’s new business has always accounted for a small proportion of revenue. According to Meituan’s financial report, from Q3 2019 to Q3 2021, Meituan’s new business revenue accounted for only 7.24 percentage points in two years, reaching only 28.1%, unable to support the main beam alone. Meituan’s takeaway business has always accounted for more than 50% of revenue.
In fact, compared with the regulatory pressure on Meituan’s takeaway business, Meituan is under greater pressure.
Since 2020, Meituan and other large factories have participated in the "burning money" war of community group buying, and have been targeted by supervision. They have been criticized for "thinking about a few bundles of cabbage" and grabbing business with small merchants and hawkers. On December 22, 2020, the General Administration of Market Supervision put forward "nine no’s" for community group buying, mainly focusing on low-price dumping, big data killing, and commodity quality control.
On March 3, 2021, the General Administration of Market Supervision imposed administrative penalties on four community group buying enterprises, including Meituan Preferred. Two months later, on May 27, it separately fined Shihui Group 1.50 million yuan for low-price dumping and ordered it to suspend business for rectification. Since then, it has been reported that Shihui Group has laid off employees. According to a report in January by the Daily Economic News, Shihui Group is gradually shutting down grid warehouses and self-pickup stations across the country, or preparing to apply for bankruptcy liquidation.
Like the Ten Hui Group, on November 11, 2021, the official website of the Municipal Administration of Supervision also announced a separate punishment for Meituan Preferred, involving improper price behavior. On February 17, there was also news of Meituan Preferred’s layoffs.
Business model may be flawed
Meituan has long been known as the "king of losses" due to thin profits in the takeaway business.
In 2018, Meituan lost 115.50 billion, which caused a sensation in the catering industry at that time. In 2019, Meituan made a short-term profit, but not from the profits brought by takeout, but from investment income. In 2020, Meituan made a real profit, with a net profit of 4.71 billion yuan for the whole year, and the stock price reached a record high of 460 Hong Kong dollars in February 2021.
In 2021, Meituan began to lose money again in Q1. In the first three quarters of 2021, Meituan has accumulated losses of 18.197 billion yuan, an increase of 361.8% year-on-year, and once again became the "loss king".
In the current secondary market, the investment logic for listed Internet companies has changed. Previously, as long as the market size of Internet companies grew, even if they lost money, they were still recognized by the market. Today, the market also requires Internet companies to be profitable.
After the huge loss of community group buying business Meituan Preferred, Meituan has no new story. Recently, the story told to capital markets is only a strategic cooperation with Kuaishou. Kuaishou users can place orders through the Meituan Mini Program, which is still to expand Meituan’s takeaway business. At present, after the notice of the National Development and Reform Commission was issued, Kuaishou’s share price also fell by 4.86%.
From this perspective, Meituan’s share price is likely to decline in the future.
Meituan’s business model is actually flawed.
Looking at Meituan’s various businesses, whether it is takeaway, Meituan Preferred, Meituan Market, flash sale and other new businesses, although the service scenarios are different, they are all inseparable from Meituan delivery. Meituan delivery belongs to instant delivery in the same city.
Intra-city instant delivery, which provides logistics distribution between location A and location B within a city, is about maximizing efficiency. The market is huge, with a compound annual growth rate of 30.5% from 2020 to 2025, according to iResearch. However, companies in this industry are all losing money because instant delivery relies heavily on manpower, and labor costs continue to rise. SF Intra-city, an instant delivery company listed in 2021, will account for 96.6% of operating costs in 2020.
Meituan delivery is more efficient, but the labor cost is still high. According to Meituan’s public information, in 2020, riders’ expenses accounted for 83.1% of Meituan’s takeaway commission, compared with more than 90% before. For instant delivery companies such as Meituan, to some extent, they are working for riders.
Meituan has also tried every means to reduce the expenditure of riders. In May 2021, Wang Lin, deputy director of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Human Resources and Social Security, bluntly stated that in order to reduce costs, the registered riders on the Meituan platform are not Meituan employees, but outsourced. This was later reported that Meituan riders were required to register as self-employed to avoid paying social security.
However, on July 26, 2021, seven departments including the General Administration of Market Supervision have clearly requested to protect the legitimate rights and interests of takeaway food delivery staff. Undoubtedly, Meituan’s rider spending will further increase.
To solve the flaw in Meituan’s business model, we can only rely on unmanned delivery.
As early as 2016, Meituan began to develop unmanned delivery technology. According to the research report of China International Capital Corporation, it is expected that by 2023, Meituan’s unmanned delivery cost will be controlled at about 2.9 yuan per order, while according to Meituan’s public information, in 2020, the rider delivery cost will be about 7.2 yuan per order.
(Meituan unmanned distribution development process, source: CICC)
At present, Meituan is increasing its research on unmanned delivery. In Q3 2021, Meituan’s R & D investment increased by about 60% to 4.70 billion yuan year-on-year. However, unmanned delivery faces not only technical problems, but also regulatory risks, such as the slow process of opening up the right of way in policy and the state’s supervision of data security.
All in all, Meituan takeaway is bearish, Meituan prefers huge losses and layoffs, Meituan’s share price has collapsed, and in the future, Wang Xing can still "eat"?
Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, June 9th Title: Policy Continuation, Force Support, Optimization and Upgrade — — China’s "big article" on new energy vehicles going to the countryside
Xinhua News Agency reporters Gao Kang, Wu Huijun and Wang Cunfu
Recently, the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration issued the "Implementation Opinions on Accelerating the Construction of Charging Infrastructure to Better Support New Energy Vehicles to the Countryside and Rural Revitalization". This year, the relevant policies to promote the development of new energy automobile industry continue to exert their strength. How will China do a good job in this "big article" of new energy vehicles going to the countryside?
Three years of "going to the countryside" have yielded fruitful results
In July 2020, China launched new energy vehicles to the countryside. Activities gradually penetrated into third-and fourth-tier cities, and kept close to county and township markets and rural consumers.
In the past three years, the event has launched nearly 200 rural models, with a cumulative sales of more than 4.1 million vehicles.
"The horses and chariots have not moved, and the piles are built first." Huang Tao, the operation director of Hainan Charging and Replacing Network Co., Ltd., said that the promotion of new energy vehicles in Hainan has been accelerated by building an information-based, digital and intelligent "one network" operation supervision platform.
According to Zhong Dong, director of Hainan New Energy Vehicle Promotion Center, in the first four months of this year, Hainan has promoted and applied 29,100 new energy vehicles. New energy vehicles accounted for 43.6% of the new vehicles.
Relevant ministries and local governments have given strong support, and car companies such as Wuling, BYD and Geely are also making active efforts.
According to the relevant person in charge of BYD, in recent years, BYD has continued to launch vehicles suitable for the use of cars in counties and townships, and the channels have sunk, so as to facilitate consumers in counties and townships to see cars, test cars, buy cars and repair cars, and promote the steady increase of brand awareness and sales.
“‘ Going to the countryside ’ The event played an important role in driving the steady growth of sales. " Wang Jun, deputy director of the Industrial Research Department of China Automobile Industry Association, said.
According to the data of China Automobile Association, the sales volume of new energy vehicles in China soared from 1.206 million in 2019 to 6.887 million in 2022; The number of new energy passenger cars in non-first-and second-tier cities has increased rapidly, from 175,000 in 2019 to 1.714 million in 2022.
Xu Haidong, deputy chief engineer of China Automobile Association, said that efforts to promote new energy vehicles to the countryside not only guide enterprises to overweight and sink the market, but also promote the comprehensive upgrade of rural residents’ travel modes, and also promote the large-scale development of new energy vehicles to a new stage.
Large market space and sufficient economic potential.
At the beginning of the year, the Central Document No.1 proposed to encourage qualified areas to carry out new energy vehicles to the countryside; The "Opinions" were promulgated in May; On June 8, the Ministry of Commerce announced that it would organize the "100-city linkage" and other automobile consumption promotion activities to further enrich the supply of new energy automobile products in rural areas.
What key signals have been released after the introduction of relevant policies?
"In recent years, the new energy automobile industry has flourished and has become one of the important engines to promote a new round of economic transformation and upgrading and high-quality development." Xu Haidong said that the layout of charging infrastructure and the promotion of new energy vehicles to the countryside can not only continuously expand the market space of the vast counties and townships, but also improve energy links and boost the development of related industries, with a view to the future.
At present, many places in the country focus on promoting the construction of charging infrastructure, paving the way for new energy vehicles to go to the countryside.
"You can charge half the electricity in half an hour, and the monthly charging fee is only 100 yuan." Guo Xinan, a villager from Juwang Village, Haikou Town, Daguan District, Anqing City, Anhui Province, told reporters that his "mileage anxiety" has disappeared since charging piles were installed in neighboring villages in March.
"Promoting the construction of charging facilities is like opening up the countryside ‘ Seven meridians and eight veins ’ 。” Ma Cuibing, director of the Automobile Industry Department of Anhui Provincial Economic and Information Office, said that this move will promote more choices of car purchases in rural areas and make it more convenient for urban residents to come to the countryside, which will inevitably lead to the rapid development of a series of industries such as tourism, logistics and supporting services for new energy vehicles, promote employment and promote local economic development.
Experts said that there are more and more consumers who like the natural and rural scenery in go on road trip, and the rural tourism market has broad potential. With the policy guidance and the improvement of residents’ income, the demand and consumption potential of cars in rural areas will become more and more prominent.
"The penetration rate of new energy vehicles in counties and townships is much lower than that in cities, and there is huge room for improvement." Cui Dongshu, secretary-general of the National Passenger Car Market Information Association, believes that it will be a great market opportunity to promote the consumption growth in county and township markets and realize the popularization of new energy vehicles, which is of great significance for optimizing the consumption structure of residents and continuously implementing the strategy of expanding domestic demand.
The Study on Electric Vehicle Travel in Rural Areas of China published by committee of 100, China, predicts that by 2030, there will be nearly 160 vehicles with 1,000 people in rural areas of China, and the total number of vehicles will exceed 70 million. The China Automobile Association predicts that if it can meet the needs of rural residents for motorized travel in the future, it will probably incite supermarkets with a scale of 500 billion yuan.
How to promote better "going to the countryside"?
Meng Wei, spokesperson of the National Development and Reform Commission, said recently that, on the whole, the new energy vehicle market in rural areas of China is still in its infancy, with relatively low total ownership, insufficient construction of charging infrastructure, insufficient supply of economical and practical vehicles, and insufficient sales and service capabilities, which have restricted the promotion and use of new energy vehicles.
Xu Haidong believes that at present, new energy vehicles still face multiple challenges in going to the countryside:
— — The price of new energy vehicles is still higher than that of fuel vehicles. The types of product supply are limited, so how to scientifically and directionally develop suitable models has become a compulsory course for car companies.
— — At present, the profit rate of new energy vehicles is generally not high. The cost of channel sinking, promotion and promotion is added, which makes it more difficult for car companies to make profits.
— — Insufficient charging facilities restrict the purchase and use of new energy vehicles in counties and townships. The construction and maintenance cost of charging facilities is high, and it is difficult to make a profit in the short term.
Zhang Dawei, director of product positioning of SAIC-GM-Wuling, said that the price sensitivity of county and township consumers is high, and the expected price is mainly below 100,000 yuan.
Industry experts suggest that car companies should develop models that are more suitable for counties and townships, such as appropriately reducing cruising range to save costs. In terms of policy, the state can also consider tilting and guiding, and appropriately increase assistance according to the actual situation.
Cui Dongshu said that publicity and popular science work in rural areas should be further improved, more efforts should be encouraged and mobilized to promote the renovation and construction of rural basic power facilities, and more difficulties and problems encountered in practice should be solved, such as increasing the capacity of distribution networks.
"New energy vehicles going to the countryside is a long-term activity and systematic project." Xu Haidong said that in the next step, the government, car companies, power grids and other parties need to form a joint force to continuously explore economic potential and expand market space. With the macroeconomic stabilization, the new energy automobile industry will maintain steady and sustainable development.

This round of freezing rain and snow is going through the strongest period. In the past 24 hours, the Jianghuai area has become the core area of heavy snowfall in this process. Heavy snowstorms have generally appeared in central and eastern Hubei, southern Anhui and central and northern Jiangsu, and heavy snowstorms have occurred in some areas.
The snow along the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River is "black" …
This rain and snow process is not only strong, but also extremely complicated mixed precipitation. Rain, snow, ice particles, freezing rain, thunder … all of them! For example, in Yichang, Hubei Province, rain was observed at 23: 00 on the 2 nd, and it turned to snow at around 4: 00 on the 3 rd. At the same time, thunder and snow were also detected.
In addition, the snowfall in Hefei, Anhui Province from 08: 00 to 14: 00 today was 8.5 mm, which almost caught up with the magnitude of the 24-hour standard blizzard (10 mm). There was also freezing rain, and the power line accumulated ice of 28 mm.
Due to the low temperature, the efficiency of snow accumulation in Anhui, Henan and other places is high, and the accumulated snow in many places has exceeded 10 cm. According to the actual situation of snow this afternoon, the depth of snow in Guoyang, Lixin, Yingshang, Bengbu, Funan, Jieshou, Fuyang, Wuhe and Mingguang in northern Anhui is 13 cm, 13 cm, 12 cm, 12 cm, 11 cm, 11 cm, and the snow is enough to have no ankles.
There will be heavy snowfall in Hubei, Anhui and other places from tonight to noon tomorrow. It is estimated that from 20: 00 on February 3 to 20: 00 on February 4, there will be heavy blizzards in parts of southern Henan, most of Hubei, central and northern Anhui, western Jiangsu, northern Hunan, eastern Chongqing and northeastern Guizhou, among which there will be heavy blizzards (20-24 mm) in parts of northeastern Hubei and central Anhui. The depth of newly added snow in the above areas is 3 ~ 10 cm, and the local area can reach about 20 cm.
From night to tomorrow, there will be freezing rain in parts of central Anhui, southern and eastern Hubei, most of Hunan, central and eastern Guizhou and southeastern Chongqing. The accumulated freezing rainfall can reach 1 ~ 6 mm, and the local area is about 10 mm.
In terms of specific cities, the snowfall from Wuhan to Hefei will continue to increase in the early morning of tomorrow, and there will still be blizzards and local blizzards; It will also be snowing heavily in Nanjing tomorrow. In addition, Jingmen, Jingzhou, Yichang and other places in Hubei will have heavy snow tonight; There will be freezing rain at Yueyang and Xiangtan stations in Hunan.
In the next two days, Guizhou, Hunan, Hubei and Anhui will become the areas with the most concentrated freezing rain and heavy snowfall. Among them, there may be both freezing rain and snowfall in the northwest of Hunan, eastern Hubei and central Anhui, which has a great impact.
Affected by rain and snow, most of the traffic in the central and eastern regions will be affected, such as Shanghai-Chongqing, Shanghai-Shaanxi, Fuyin, Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao and other expressways, which will have a long section affected by blizzard and freezing rain. It is best for returnees to avoid the period with the strongest rain and snow, pay attention to the latest road traffic information, plan their trips reasonably and drive safely.
After the 5th, the snowfall in the northern region will shrink sharply and basically end on the 6th. However, due to the active warm and humid air flow in the south, a large range of rain and snow weather in the south will last until New Year’s Eve.
It is estimated that until the 8th, there will be a large range of moderate to heavy rain and local heavy rain in the south of the Yangtze River and northern South China, and the accumulated rainfall is large. The accumulated rainfall in Hunan, Jiangxi and Guangdong can reach more than 100mm, which is much higher. Especially in Hunan and Guizhou, there will still be mixed rain and snow.
The continuous large-scale rain and snow will also cause a "heavy blow" to the temperature in the central and eastern regions. Especially in Anhui, Hunan, Henan, Jiangsu, Hubei and other places with a wide range of rain and snow and lasting time, the highest temperature in many places will be more than 6 C lower than normal, and the local temperature will be about 10 C! In the next four or five days, the highest temperature in many cities, including Zhengzhou, Hefei, Wuhan, Nanjing and Changsha, is only about 0℃. With the rainy and snowy weather, the body will feel very wet and cold.
It is expected that before the Spring Festival, most areas in the south will continue to be in a state of low temperature and wet cold, and it is necessary to wait for the New Year to get warmer.
