Rising oil prices prompted car manufacturers to speed up the process of developing new energy vehicles

Recently, oil prices rose again, Zhuanyan Jian, No. 93 gasoline has become 6.2 yuan a liter. The face of soaring oil prices, automobile manufacturers will focus attention on the development of new technology and research and development of new energy vehicles, and consumers are also changing the habits of their car. Therefore, industry experts have said that rising oil prices for car manufacturers and consumers, even the entire automotive community, is a good thing.

In a sense, rising oil prices will make progress automobile market.

High oil prices will vigorously promote enterprise technological progress

"Oil price increase will inevitably prompted car manufacturers to improve engine efficiency, and other new technologies to make a fuss about." China Automobile Industry Development Institute Jia Xinguang, chief analyst told reporters. In fact, many foreign car makers are committed to reducing vehicle fuel consumption, such as lightweight vehicle, reducing air resistance, the transmission of multi-block, reducing the rolling resistance tires and the use of alternative fuels.

State Information Center, deputy director of the Department of Information Resources Hsu Chang-ming also said that high oil prices prompted car makers to develop energy-saving technology, adjusting product strategy, the less fuel vehicles will dominate the future of the automobile market, which will enable the market competitiveness of enterprises by Enhance and promote technological progress in enterprises.

Zhejiang University, director of the Institute of modern industrial design, the Chinese Mechanical Engineering Society and director of Industrial Design Council of the Secretary-General Professor Sun Shouqian, electric vehicles, solar cell vehicles, and other new energy vehicles of the future development of the automobile industry in one direction, "But at the moment limited to technology, Policies and regulations and the impact of related facilities, no large-scale promotion. "In the new energy vehicle" can not be far hydrolysis nearly thirst ", experts said that diesel vehicles are also environmentally friendly energy-saving models of a choice. It is understood that more than half of the European automotive diesel car, it was a rough estimate, the same emission cars, if the use of diesel will be 20 percent to 30 percent of fuel economy. It is learnt that in 2007 the SUV market growth factors to high-pressure common rail direct injection as the representative of a new generation of diesel engine technology功不可没this year, Landwind X6 Dragon version, Changfeng Liebao CS6, such as the first allocation of the VM engine SUV Products will also win a greater market share.

High oil prices so that car owners used to a more reasonable

"We do not have the ability to change the car's performance, Drag, engine, but we have the ability to change its goods bearing the weight." Ju You love a card Cheyou Hui said. "In fact, car owners through their own travel arrangements and reasonable way to improve efficiency in the use of motor vehicles, fuel economy can achieve the objective." Southwest University of Finance and Economics Professor Yang Jirui, deputy secretary of Party Committee, told reporters that he stated to reporters calculations : For example, the original owners of car fuel consumption is 100 kilometers seven liters, 5.34 yuan per liter oil, then the cost of running 100 kilometers is: 7 L × 5.34元/ L = 37.38 yuan, and now by changing driving habits, reasonable arrangements for travel, reduce Car unnecessary load, etc. can reduce fuel consumption to six liters, according to the current oil price 6.2 yuan, the cost is only 100 km: 6 L × 6.20元/ L = 37.2元. It is clear that only 1 L of the lower fuel consumption, consumers can be fully offset gasoline prices brought about by additional expenditures. Professor Yang said that the formation of a reasonable car customary for the original owners of bad driving habits, can play in saving immediate effect.

High oil prices will maximize utilization of resources

Some experts think that the oil price increase will help the auto-related industries and make full use of resources, improve the relevant technology. Rising oil prices, the beneficiary is the largest in the oil and petrochemical in the two oil companies. "Of course, so that the two oil companies will have the ability to invest more in technology and capital and continuously improve oil production, exploration, refining technology and even further improve the quality of oil. And improve the quality of oil will also increase oil The combustion rate, to achieve the objective of saving. "Professor Yang Jirui told reporters. He also said that the oil price increase will prompt some car owners to speed up the process of oil to gas. It is understood that compared to gasoline, natural gas can reduce the 2 / 3 of the car cost. "Sichuan is a major natural gas province, is rich in resources, therefore, this will also make full use of resources."

High oil prices is conducive to the development of a conservation-oriented society

"After the oil price increase, with the way people rationalize the car, can not only enhance the effective utilization of energy and environmental effects will be, after all, energy saving and environmental protection is closely linked to." Hsu Chang-ming said, "Once emissions And reduce fossil fuel consumption, pollution will decrease, people's living environment will be improved significantly, and the natural world will become more harmonious. "In response, Professor Yang Jirui also holds in favour of attitude, he told reporters that rising oil prices will also have Conducive to the development of a conservation-oriented society, some private car owners to reduce the frequency of use, choose public transport as usual the morning and evening travel, this will benefit the development of urban public transport, a certain sense, but also conducive to the whole community harmony and progress. -- Zhang Xin M

Amorphous silicon thin-film solar cells: increased investment

Amorphous silicon thin-film solar cells: increased investment

However, silicon solar cells is not the package to make the industry does not pay, in addition to the market, cost, technical aspects of the risk, the demand for funds, supply chain, manufacturing power supply and technical personnel, and other areas have a high threshold.

In the demand for funds, a 40 MW-50MW of amorphous silicon thin film battery production facilities in a total investment of 10 billion, while the economies of scale should be recognized in the 300 MW-500MW. This requires investment, not only to raise sufficient initial investment, but also for sustained investment in the next two or three years to prepare.

In the supply chain organization, needed for the production of the high rate of ultra-white translucent glass, high-purity silane and so only a limited sources of supply. Production enterprises must ensure stable and cheap supply of materials, otherwise the competition in recent years the scene of silicon material will inevitably be staged again.

Technical talent has always been a thin film solar cell development one of the bottlenecks. In addition to the structural design of the battery itself, needs a lot of testing professionals, chemical vapor deposition, vacuum sputtering, laser engraved lines, and special technology and a wide range of special gases, high water, purification, air-conditioning systems and other support systems for plant All require a large number of professional background and practical experience of the staff. Since a large number of projects under construction, to attract talent has become an unprecedented fierce competition.

In short, the silicon thin film solar cells of the rise of investment has become an indisputable fact. But every one of them to join the enterprise should be a comprehensive analysis of their opportunities and challenges facing the full estimated earnings and risk, rational and objective to make their own investment decisions, this industry is healthy and sustainable development.
