Zhongqi Center An Tiecheng: During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the automotive industry needs to forge new productive forces and promote the conversion of old and new driving forces

On September 13th, An Tiecheng, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the China Automotive Technology Research Center Co., Ltd., stated at the 2025 China Automotive Industry Development International Forum that looking back at the 14th Five-Year Plan, China's automotive industry has achieved a certain degree of transformation from "large to strong," but it also faces complex and changing new situations. The industry still encounters many new challenges in its development, including bottlenecks in technologies such as automotive-grade high-end chips and resistance to internationalization. Looking ahead to the 15th Five-Year Plan, the automotive industry needs to forge new productive forces, enhance independent innovation capabilities, smoothly promote the conversion of new and old driving forces in the automotive sector, and gradually improve the system for the popularization of new energy vehicles and automotive tax policies. Regarding automotive exports, it is necessary to deepen the level of international cooperation, strengthen international research in the automotive industry, actively participate in global governance and the formulation of international standards, support leading enterprises in establishing R&D centers and manufacturing bases overseas, deeply integrate into local innovation ecosystems, and achieve localized production, localized R&D, and localized services
