Xin Guobin, vice minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said at the meeting that although achievements have been made in market scale, key technologies and comprehensive benefits in the field of new energy, the difficulty and complexity of breakthroughs are increasing as we enter a new stage, and some new situations and new problems need to be addressed.

The good news is that new technologies that are leading the world have emerged as the core power batteries of electric vehicles.

New battery technology "world's first"

At the 2022 Hundred People Conference, Ouyang Minggao, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that the purpose of battery cell structure innovation is to reduce the weight and volume of the accessories. He highlighted the typical representative of current battery structure innovation - One-Stop, the world's first innovative battery developed by Sinotruk.

As one of the future-oriented products, Sinotruk's globally original One-Stop battery technology and products were announced at the 2021 World New Energy Vehicle Congress (WNEVC) on September 17, 2021.

It is understood that China Innovation Aviation One-Stop started from the underlying design principles and process principles, and was redesigned based on the minimalist concept to achieve highly functional integration, minimalist structure, high safety and high reliability of the product. This is a revolutionary change.

One-Stop has developed many original technologies, including ultra-thin shell walls, multi-dimensional shell molding, multi-functional composite packaging, integrated bridging electrical connections, high shear external insulation, in-situ dust-free assembly integration, etc., which have reduced the structural weight by 40%, the number of parts by 25%, and increased production efficiency by 100%.

China New Energy's products using One-Stop Bettery technology are expected to be available in June 2022.

Innovative patents and high R&D investment

Veken Lithium Battery noted that the One-Stop technology and products created by Sinotruk are supported by numerous patented technologies. The product has hundreds of patents, including those pending, covering R&D design and production processes. Its high degree of innovation, especially in process innovation, is a powerful engine to support future large-scale manufacturing market demand.

At the same time, Veken.com Lithium Battery learned that the actual number of patent applications of the China Innovation Aviation Group (China Innovation Aviation, AVIC Lithium Battery  , Kaibo Energy, etc.) in 2021 was more than 400, of which invention patents accounted for nearly 40%. Compared with the number of newly applied patents by searchable power battery companies in 2021, China Innovation Aviation ranks among the top 5.

In addition to the patent layout, Veken also learned that China Innovation Aviation's actual R&D investment in the past three years has exceeded 2 billion yuan, including R&D expenses, development expenditures and R&D facility construction.

From the patent layout and R&D investment, it can be seen that China Innovation Aviation is determined to carry out independent innovation and R&D, and resolutely implement the attitude of supporting and protecting the entire R&D end of intellectual property rights.

New energy automotive aftermarket is booming

The new energy vehicle market is developing rapidly and has great potential in the future. Data shows that the penetration rate of new energy vehicles in my country has increased from 6% in January last year to 22% in December at the end of the year, an average increase of 1.3 percentage points per month. The penetration rate in the first half of March this year has exceeded 28%, and it is estimated that the penetration rate for the whole month will also exceed 28%.

Xie Qiu, vice president of China New Aviation, also pointed out in the report, "From a global perspective, Norway and Sweden currently have the highest penetration rates (Note: Norway's electric vehicle penetration rate is as high as 90%). After analyzing the changes in the penetration rates of electric vehicles in these two countries and China, it can be seen that the growth of the penetration rate is in good accordance with the S-curve model. It is predicted that by 2025, the sales volume of electric vehicles in China will exceed 8 million."

With the rapid development of the new energy industry, a huge electric vehicle battery aftermarket has emerged. Facing the power battery aftermarket, various battery companies are showing their unique skills.

Veken Lithium noted that in response to the problems in the power battery market, Zhongxinhang, whose technical strength has been recognized by Academician Ouyang Minggao, also has a clear plan. In his speech at the 2022 Hundred People Forum, Xie Qiu pointed out that battery companies and vehicle companies need to do a good job of information coordination, and the amount of information must be connected; the data of the industrial chain also needs to be coordinated, and Zhongxinhang hopes to work closely with partners in the industrial chain.

While actively exploring the full life cycle management of battery packs based on value mining and after-market operation models, Xie Qiu said that China Innovation Aviation has explored and formed an optimal implementation path in terms of product safety and reliability, as well as battery health assessment.

It can be summarized into four aspects:

1) The evaluation method of battery safety properties during the battery development process needs to be combined with the battery failure mechanism and actual application scenarios

2) The process control of the battery should be precise, and the failure modes corresponding to various defects and their impacts should be correlated

3) Battery manufacturing big data can effectively detect potential failures

4) The battery operating platform can effectively detect potential faults of a certain type and within a certain range

通过四位一体的有效协同，同时对电池的失效机理分析和云端电池的运行大数据技术的融合显著提升了电池运行管控能力和效率，基于产品可靠性确保后市场应用的基础。

As one of the world's leading representative companies in power battery technology, China Innovation Aviation's next-generation technology One-Stop highlights the main forum's battery cell structure innovation and full life cycle management leading the power battery aftermarket planning.

According to data, China New Aviation was born out of AVIC Lithium Battery and has now grown into one of the leading power battery companies in China and even the world: it is one of the fastest growing core power battery companies in the world. In the latest global power battery installed capacity ranking in January 2022, China New Aviation's ranking rose to fifth.

Summarize

The rapidly developing Chinese power battery market may take the 2022 Hundred People Forum as a new starting point. Chinese battery companies already have stronger technical strength and are able to welcome the arrival of a new round of major development.

Looking to the future, power battery companies such as China Innovation Aviation, which have strong technical support, are contributing their strength to the realization of the dual carbon goals and the development of my country's new energy vehicle industry!
