Li Gang, director of the Equipment Division of the Industry Coordination Department of the National Development and Reform Commission, pointed out at the "12th Five-Year Plan Low-Carbon Energy-Saving Vehicle Development Seminar" held by Xinhua Daily Telegraph on July 21 that an average fuel consumption system for automobile companies' models is expected to be established, thereby promoting automobile companies to pay attention to energy conservation and emission reduction from the source .

　　He said that if the 3,000 yuan energy-saving subsidy previously introduced was an encouragement, a "carrot", then the average fuel consumption system for all models produced by automobile companies that is being planned to be implemented is a restriction, or a "stick". It is understood that the average fuel consumption system should average the comprehensive road fuel consumption of all models produced by automobile companies. The relevant departments will issue a standard for the average value. If the company fails to meet this standard, it will be punished and restricted, such as having difficulty in listing new cars.

　　There was a rumor before that the displacement of all models produced by the manufacturer was averaged, and then the relevant departments set a standard value for assessment. However, compared with the average fuel consumption, the fuel consumption is obviously more scientific, because some engines, although with a slightly larger displacement, can be more fuel-efficient due to advanced technology.

　　Li Gang said, "Purchase restrictions will not kill Chinese cars, but energy will." It is understood that from 2001 to 2010, China's oil consumption increased from 229 million tons to 439 million tons, almost doubling. The external dependence on oil increased from 30.2% to 53.7%. According to statistics from relevant departments, as of the first half of this year, China's private motor vehicle ownership reached 85 million. In 2010, China's single-vehicle fuel consumption per 100 kilometers was 7.7L, nearly 20% higher than that of Europe and Japan. In 2009, China's single-vehicle annual fuel consumption was more than double that of Japan.

　　According to Qian Huaming, director of the Automobile Department of the Equipment Industry Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, who attended the meeting, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is currently working with relevant departments to speed up the formulation of fuel consumption standards for commercial vehicles, because commercial vehicles have greater fuel-saving potential. In addition, in the electric vehicle project, core standards such as interface standards are also being formulated. According to him, China and Germany intend to form an electric vehicle alliance to accelerate the industrialization of electric vehicles.
