At a meeting with leaders of the Government, ministries and sectors in mid-May, Vingroup applied for a pilot exemption of excise tax and registration fee for electric cars for 5 years in order to promote the electric vehicle market. . In fact, this is the first proposal in Vietnam but not new in the world. Many countries have also applied a combination of supportive policies, strong incentives for consumers and manufacturers to encourage the model transition from gasoline to electricity, typically China, the US and other countries. Europe. According to the Wall Street Journal, Mr. Hallgeir Langeland, 65, a former Norwegian politician and environmental activist, has not owned a car in 25 years. But when Ford launched an all-electric version of the Mustang last year, he didn’t hesitate. “I have to have it. I can’t wait until March,” Mr. Langeland said, recalling the Mustang he drove as a young man. Christian Burg, owner of an energy-efficient housing construction business in Germany, has been driving a petrol BMW X3 SUV for many years. When the German government increased subsidies for electric cars, he applied for a small business subsidy and switched to the iX3 rechargeable hybrid. “We received an incentive of 3,750 euros ($4,500),” he revealed. Governments are tightening emissions standards and supporting industries on the front lines of the fight against climate change. Photo: Reuters. From electric vehicle powerhouses China and Europe… Governments around the globe have introduced a variety of policies to boost the electric vehicle industry over the years, including reducing taxes, fees, subsidies, incentives, and administrative regulations. The common point is that governments have set a specific roadmap to transition from fossil fuel vehicles to electric cars. According to the CNBC Many Chinese drivers switch to electric cars because of the government’s preferential policies. For example, in 2016, Chinese buyers received a nationwide discount of 55,000 yuan ($8,599.01) for each BEV and 30,000 yuan ($4,690) for PHEVs. Municipal governments also provide additional support up to 55,000 yuan. Beijing also subsidizes electric vehicle manufacturers based on battery power density, driving range and energy consumption. For example, in 2020, a pure electric vehicle with a minimum range of 300 km will receive a subsidy of 16,200-22,500 yuan (2,532-3,517 USD). Along with that, it supports the construction of a battery charging network for electric vehicles. For taxes and fees, China offers 50-100% reduction in user registration fees from time to time, annual tax relief, free or low-cost charging. In addition, manufacturers will receive credit points if they produce many electric vehicles. China is the leading electric vehicle market in the world. Photo: Reuters. Buyers of electric vehicles in China also receive preferential registration fees, no need to wait for car registration for 6-12 months, free highways, and parking. In Shenzhen alone, taxis switching to electric vehicles will be able to receive subsidies. A 27-year-old customer, who lives in Hangzhou, has been waiting almost a year for a license plate for his petrol car. However, after seeing Xpeng’s G3 electric car, she decided not to wait any longer. “After applying the government subsidy, the car fits my budget of about 180,000 yuan (US$27,643),” she said. The European Union (EU) is also gradually tightening emissions standards and supporting industries on the front lines in the fight against climate change. Much of the support goes to initiatives that push consumers to buy electric vehicles, which in turn drives demand. After applying the government subsidy, the car fits my budget of about 180,000 yuan (US$27,643) A 27-year-old customer in Hangzhou In 2020, sales of new electric vehicles in European countries doubled, accounting for 43% of global sales. Rising momentum has brought the EU over China to become the world’s largest electric vehicle market. For example, Germany subsidizes up to 4,000 euros ($4,874) per BEV and 3,000 euros ($3,656) for PHEVs. The country also built a €1 billion fund for rebates and building charging stations. Meanwhile, France subsidizes 6,000 euros ($7,312) for cars that emit less than 20g of CO2, 5,000 euros ($6,093) per BEV, and nearly 10,000 euros ($12,187.01) for customers who switch from diesel vehicles to BEVs. Similar to France and Germany, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Denmark and Finland also apply different subsidies to electric vehicle customers. Denmark alone reduces sales tax up to 80%. Some major Spanish cities reduce taxes by 75%, while Finland has a minimum tax rate. …to North America Transportation is currently America’s largest source of greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, US President Joe Biden’s plan to change gasoline cars to electric cars is essential to solving the problems of climate change. Biden’s proposals include incentives of up to $174 billion for electric cars. His plan is to increase discounts for customers who buy electric cars. In addition, the US president plans to push to increase the number of public chargers from 72,000 in 2019 to 500,000 in 2030. He also called for replacing the US government’s fleet of about 650,000 vehicles with models. electricity. Experts of Bloomberg It is estimated that 500,000 chargers may require about 6 billion USD of investment. Part of the $174 billion subsidy will also go directly to consumers to stimulate demand. Along with that are orders for electric vehicles directly from the federal government. To realize his climate ambitions, Mr. Biden needs to benefit as many electric vehicle manufacturers as possible. Bloomberg The above expenses all bring about the same effect. That’s increasing demand to accelerate the electrification of the US auto industry. Previously, the federal government and some states offered tax credits (up to $7,500) and incentives for buying electric vehicles, but the main federal incentive will begin to cut after manufacturers sold 200,000 electric cars. “To realize his climate ambitions, Mr. Biden needs to benefit as many electric vehicle manufacturers as possible.” Bloomberg comment. Meanwhile, the Canadian government requires that all vehicles sold starting in 2040 will produce zero emissions. The province of Québec will ban the sale of new gasoline-powered passenger cars from 2035. British Columbia will completely ban the sale or rental of gasoline-powered cars and trucks by 2040. Norway also introduced subsidy programs to boost sales of electric vehicles, including direct support of 4,000 euros ($4,874) to users, a 50% subsidy on vehicle prices and the cost of station construction and installation. charger for the manufacturer.

Along with that is a discount on fast charging service, free parking, fees for ships, boats, harbors, and the use of bus lanes; some road and ferry fees are waived. Taxes exempted for electric vehicles in Norway include fuel, road, and vehicle taxes. Meanwhile, Japan also exempts taxes related to vehicle ownership, purchase and tonnage. In 2020, electric car buyers will receive a subsidy of up to $7,700 depending on the vehicle’s battery capacity. According to Dr. Bui Quang Tuan, Director of the Vietnam Institute of Economics, government support is essential if Vietnam wants to develop the electric car industry to catch up with the world’s trends and achieve its goals. on green growth. “The support policy demonstrates the tectonic role of the State, its commitment to accompany businesses so that they can grow up, reach out to the world, and raise the level of Vietnamese people. Behind this policy is a very important political meaning, not just economic support,” said Dr. Bui Quang Tuan, Director of the Vietnam Institute of Economics.

The global chip shortage could last until 2023. (Source: Nikkei) Came in by surprise The Covid-19 pandemic was the first to cause the global economy to fall into recession last year, disrupting supply chains and changing consumer shopping patterns. So, to cope with the pandemic, automakers are forced to cut chip orders in 2020, while chip manufacturing companies also reduce production activities. But the rapid recovery and mis-predictions of car buyer demand have caused automakers to rush to place orders in large quantities. Meanwhile, the supply of semiconductor chips is not enough. In addition, the US government’s sanctions on Chinese technology corporations, plus consumers who bought many laptops, game consoles and other electronic products during the pandemic led to Inventory is getting smaller and smaller. Although computer chips are not very complicated or expensive, they are an integral part of making electronic devices and household items. Shortages are getting worse, spreading from the car industry to the consumer electronics market. Estimates by the US-based Semiconductor Industry Association say about 75% of global manufacturing capacity is in East Asia, led by TSMC (Taiwan) and Samsung (Korea). U.S. semiconductor companies account for 47 percent of global chip sales, but only 12 percent of global output is produced here. The shortfall is due to Asian companies investing too little in 8-inch chip factories. These companies have struggled to ramp up production as demand for 5G phones and laptops grew faster than expected. Qualcomm Inc, Samsung’s smartphone chip maker, is one of the major chipmakers struggling to keep up with consumer demand. Apple’s main supplier Foxconn also warned about the lack of chips affecting the supply chain for customers. Widespread impact The chip crisis hit the car industry first, especially on the productivity and sales of big companies like General Motors, Ford and Volkswagen. According to market research firm IHS Markit, the shortage of electronic chips affected the production process of 1.3 million cars and trucks worldwide in the first quarter of 2021. The company’s report also shows that the Renesas chip plant fire in Japan in March, as well as disruption to chip factories due to severe winter weather in Texas, will cause shortages. becomes serious. Last month, the British mini-car maker said it had suspended production lines for three days because of chip shortages. Recently, Ford also warned that the number of products is at risk of falling to 1.1 million vehicles this year. At the end of last year, the impact of the chip shortage crisis spread to consumer electronics. Last month, Apple’s financials indicated that the company would suffer losses of between three and four billion dollars in the first two quarters of the year, with the biggest impact on Mac and iPad products. Recently, Chinese technology giant Xiaomi increased the prices of some TV models, citing the fact that the price of key components increased higher than before. Meanwhile, two electronics groups Samsung of Korea and Sony of Japan also simultaneously increased product prices. In addition, the crisis has begun to affect China’s home appliance manufacturing sector. The world’s largest maker of home appliances, Midea Group, said the price of chips used to make home appliances would soar if the global chip shortage persists. The biggest impact from the chip crisis is still consumers. While demand for consumer electronics and automotive items tends to be quite price-sensitive, a reduced supply can increase the price of affected items by 1-3%. This could temporarily boost inflation later this year. Chip pressure has pushed up car prices in the US. New prices averaged $37,200 in the first quarter, up 8.4% year-over-year. Meanwhile, production disruptions due to chip shortages will continue. CEO of chip maker Infineon (Germany) Reinhard Ploss estimated that it will take about two years for chip supply and demand to be balanced. THIUY VUY (according to SCMP/Reuters)

But few people know that inside the factory campus is also home to 600,000 bees. And every day, the bees are still rushing around in search of honey, living at the same pace as the production of supercars equipped with powerful V12 engines. Are the bees living in the Lamborghini factory responsible for helping the engineers here research to design models that inherit the aerodynamics from animals and insects as often seen in the history of the automotive industry? paint the world? A worker wearing protective gear with the Lamborghini logo checks honey at the beekeeping area in the factory Reality is not like that. On the occasion of May 20 every year chosen by FAO as World Honeybee Day, Lamborghini supercar company is also pleased to announce the latest count results of the population of bees in its factory which has reached 600,000. Back in 2016, the Italian supercar maker kicked off a biomonitoring project with the construction of eight beekeepers in the Lamborghini park at the Sant ‘Agata Bolognese factory. To date, the number of beekeepers has increased to 12 and it has an important task in understanding how the environment surrounding the plant affects the habitat of humans as well as insects. And bees, with their random behavior of pollinating in the process of collecting honey, will give quite accurate results on environmental quality. At certain times, entomologists associated with the Lamborghini factory will test the quality of honey and wax to assess environmental quality. Currently, the green trend in the auto industry is almost the target of many famous car manufacturers. Not only planting more trees, expanding static space, but some factories like Ford also increase waste water reuse or produce car accessories from recycled materials. As for beekeeping to assess the quality of the factory environment like Lamborghini, Bentley has recently learned and launched a similar project last year.

The switch to electric vehicles will affect at least 178,000 jobs in the German auto industry. Photo: VNA Ifo’s research presents a number of potential challenges in the future as governments work to phase out diesel and gasoline-powered vehicles in favor of low-emissions, even zero-emission vehicles. waste. In a statement released alongside the report, Ifo said an estimated 75,000 workers in Germany’s car manufacturing sector will retire by the middle of the decade. But if by 2025, the production of cars powered by internal combustion engines falls to levels previously predicted under current emissions regulations, the switch to electric vehicles will affect little. 178,000 jobs in the German auto industry. This group, Ifo explained, would include workers manufacturing product groups directly or indirectly dependent on internal combustion engines, with 137,000 of these working directly in the auto industry. Ifo President Clemens Fuest described the transition to electric vehicles as a major challenge, especially for auto parts suppliers as midsize companies dominate the sector. . He assessed that it is important to maintain skilled jobs in the production of vehicles using internal combustion engines and electric vehicles without changing the industry structure. The report comes after the German federal government announced its ambition to have 7-10 million new registered electric vehicles in the country by the end of the decade. In January 2021, Germany’s road traffic regulator said sales of electric vehicles in Germany will be more than 194,000 units in 2020, a threefold increase from the previous year. Internationally, the European Commission has also expressed its desire to have at least 30 million zero-emissions cars on the road by 2030, as part of its “Smart and Sustainable Transport Strategy.” . According to the International Energy Agency, about 3 million new electric cars were registered last year, a record number and up 41% from 2019.

This is part of the agreement the two signed last Friday. The deal will see JD become the latest Chinese Internet company to join the smart electrification craze that is transforming the auto industry day by day. Enovate said both sides will also work on digital marketing to get the startup up and running as soon as possible. “We will share resources in a number of different aspects, from branding and products to users and channels of distribution and consumption,” said Yu Songyao, senior executive at Enovate. . A new energy Enovate sedan attracts the attention of visitors at the Guangzhou auto show. JD, also known as Jingdong and formerly 360buy, is a Chinese e-commerce company headquartered in Beijing. The company is one of two giant B2C retailers in China by transaction volume and revenue, a member of Fortune Global 500. In other words, JD is the 2nd largest e-commerce company in China, just behind Alibaba. Forging partnerships with big internet companies is crucial, analysts say, as the chance to stand out is slimmer for lesser-known startups. Early adopters like Tesla and Nio are gaining ground, traditional carmakers including Volkswagen are also launching their own electric cars, so the door for latecomers is closing. quickly, must really try and be quick. Statistics show that Nio sold 20,060 vehicles in the first three months of this year, up 422.7 percent year-on-year. Volkswagen said it expects to sell 100,000 electric vehicles in China this year. Late last month, Nezha, another little-known electric car startup, announced a partnership with Chinese internet security company Qihoo 360. The company will become the second largest shareholder as it leads Nezha’s 3 billion yuan ($467 million) Series D fundraising effort. According to analysts, Internet security is becoming an essential issue as vehicles get smarter and 360 Security is seeking this investment to open up a platform for its products. on smart cars. Nezha CEO Zhang Yong said Qihoo 360 will provide the startup with technical help and facilitate financing for the company. “For us, the top task now is survival,” Zhang said. Founded in 2014, Nezha has sold more than 35,000 vehicles across its two car models. The company’s sales in the first quarter of 2021 increased fivefold, to more than 7,400 vehicles.

Today, chips are in everything from PlayStation 5s and toothbrushes to washing machines and alarm clocks, and chip shortages have led some to call the current crisis “chipageddon” — chip shortages computers globally. Glenn O’Donnell, vice president of research at consulting firm Forrester, believes chip shortages could last until 2023. “As demand will remain high and supply will remain constrained, we anticipate this shortfall to last through 2022 and into 2023,” he wrote on a blog. O’Donnell expects PC demand to “slightly drop” next year, but “not much.” “Combine that with the desire to digitize everything with the continued growth in cloud computing and crypto mining, and we see nothing but a short burst of chip demand,” O. ‘ said Donnell. Meanwhile, Patrick Armstrong, CEO of Plurimi Investment Managers, said last week that the chip shortage will last 18 months. “It’s not just cars. That’s the phone. It is the internet of things (IoT). There are more chip-based gadgets now than ever before. All of them are internet enabled.” The car industry has been affected by the global chip shortage more than any other sector. The world’s largest chipmaker, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) said earlier this month that it thinks its production will be able to catch up with auto demand by June. , Armstrong believed it was an ambitious plan. “Ford, BMW, Volkswagen all emphasized that there were capacity bottlenecks and they couldn’t get the chips needed to make the new cars,” O’Donell said. In a separate development, global research and consulting firm Gartner said last week that chip shortages will persist through 2021 and that the shortage affects all chip types and chip prices. growing. Gartner analyst Alan Priestley said the situation could improve for some sectors over the next six months, but there could be a “side effect” in 2022. In March, Intel announced plans to spend $20 billion on two new chip factories in Arizona. Intel also said it could build a factory in Europe if funding is arranged. “Those plans will take two or three years before we start to see that. But that’s really looking forward to meeting future demand,” said analyst Priestley. Wenzhe Zhao, director of global economics and strategy at Credit Suisse said in a note last week that recent chip shortages have encouraged inventory hoarding along the chip production chain, widening the gap. between expanding demand and stagnant supply. Mr. Zhao said that new semiconductor production capacity will not take place until 2022 or later, and the problem of solving the current shortage besides adjusting the order book, production schedule and price is very difficult.

Industry “commanders” in the US have voiced the warning of serious consequences caused by the global shortage of chips. Photo: AFP Semiconductor chip supplies have been in short supply for months and the situation shows no sign of abating, prompting insiders to visualize it into the chipageddon crisis. It is a combination of ‘microchip’ (semiconductor chip) and ‘armageddon’ (which excessively means war of destruction). Mr. Glenn O’Donnell, deputy research director at consulting firm Forrester believes that the thirst for semiconductor chips could last until 2023. “As demand will continue to increase while supply will remain limited, We expect this shortfall to continue into 2022 and into 2023, “commented Glenn O’Donnell on his blog. According to the expert’s argument, demand for computers – products using the most advanced chips – will slightly decrease next year but not by much, but data centers, where the machines are located. will be the chip-eaters next year. Mr. Glenn O’Donnell explained: “The deviceization of things is an irresistible trend, coupled with the continued growth of cloud computing and cryptocurrency mining, we see nothing but a boom. short-term explosion on chip demand “. Meanwhile, Mr. Patrick Armstrong, Information Technology Director of Plurimi Investment Managers Fund commented on CNBC that the global shortage of chips will last 18 months. “Not just the auto industry. It’s the phone. It’s also the IoE [một khái niệm kết nối rộng hơn Internet vạn vật (IoT), xoay quanh 4 yếu tố chính: Con người (People), sự vật (Things), dữ liệu (Data) và quá trình (Process)]. There are a lot more products that use chips now than before. “” All of them are connected to the internet, “said Patrick Armstrong. The auto industry has been most adversely affected by the global thirst for chips. Earlier this month, the world’s largest chip maker TSMC (Taiwan) said it could meet the chip demand of the auto industry next June. However, Mr. Armstrong said that this statement by TSMC is too ambitious. “If you listen to Ford, BMW, and Volkswagen, they all claim that there are bottlenecks in capacity and they can’t get the chips needed to build new cars,” Armstrong argued. Meanwhile, Gartner Consulting and Information Technology Research is more optimistic that chip shortages will last throughout 2021, affecting all chip lines and pushing chip prices higher. Gartner analyst Alan Priestley said that chip shortages could improve in some sectors / areas over the next six months, but could continue into 2022. “It (chip shortage – Editor)) will not last any longer, “said Alan Priestley. “The semiconductor industry is increasing capacity, but it still takes time,” he said. In fact, in March Intel announced plans to spend $ 20 billion on two new chip factories in the state of Arizona. The group also said it could build a factory in Europe if it could raise funds for public investment. “Those things will take two or three years before we start realizing their effect,” said Alan Priestley, who said that the investment plans could actually meet demand for semiconductors in future. Mr. Reinhard Ploss, CEO of chip maker Infineon (Germany) last week said that the semiconductor industry is in the region without privileges; at the same time warned to rebalance the demand and supply of semiconductors “obviously will take time”. “I think two years is too long, but we are sure that the current situation will extend into 2022,” said Ploss. “I think the additional capacity will be realized… Hopefully the situation will be more balanced in the next calendar year,” added the German CEO. Wenzhe Zhao, director of the global strategy and economics division at Credit Suisse, said that the shortage in chip supply led to speculation on chip-making hoarding and widening the gap. amid increasing chip demand and supply remains stagnant. According to Wenzhe Zhao, the new semiconductor manufacturing capacity will not be effective until 2022 or later. Wenzhe Zhao noted that there is little action he can do to address the shortage of semiconductors, aside from adjusting orders, production schedules and prices.
