Japan has been playing an important role in the global automobile industry since the first automobile was manufactured in the early 20th century. As the world's leading automobile industry power, Japan's automobile industry has been striving for innovation and mass production, especially plug-in hybrid vehicles and pure electric vehicles. The first new energy vehicle in Japan is the Yamaha hybrid vehicle manufactured by 1904, which is based on its research and development concept of attaching great importance to energy-saving and environmental protection vehicles. So electric vehicles once became the mainstream of Japan.
In promoting new energy vehicles, Japan has taken a series of subsidy measures. Every year, Japan's Next Generation Automobile Propulsion Center adjusts subsidy policies, models and budgets according to market conditions, the most important of which is the CEV subsidy (clean energy vehicle subsidy) introduced by 1998.
Since the mid-1960s, Japan has formulated a series of industrial plans to guide the development and promotion of domestic electric vehicles. After the commercialization and technical iteration of representative hybrid electric vehicles, Japan began to re-examine the strategy of new energy vehicles in 2 1 century, and successively issued a number of industrial strategic plans to build a sound promotion policy system. New energy vehicle and its application.
On the supply side, Japan has formulated a series of strategic plans for the new energy automobile industry to guide the innovation and marketing of R&D enterprises. In May 2007, Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry released the next-generation automobile and fuel plan. In May, 2009, Japan's Ministry of Environment released the "Next Generation Automobile Popularization Strategy". On the basis of the previous strategic planning of new energy vehicles, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan officially released the "Next Generation Vehicle Strategy 20 10" in April of 20/KLOC-0, and formulated the master plan, batteries, rare metals, infrastructure, systems and international standards. The operational action plan covers all aspects of the new energy automobile industry ecosystem and provides macro guidance for the development of Japan's new energy automobile industry. The strategy focuses on developing the core technology of new energy vehicles-power batteries, and supports it through budget arrangements.
According to this strategy, by 2020, the proportion of new car sales of the next generation cars will increase to 20%~50%. 20 14, 1 14/0/0. In October, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan issued the "Automobile Industry Strategy 20 14", which did not adjust the development goal of the next generation of vehicles, but refined the relevant propulsion measures for fuel cell vehicles and their infrastructure hydrogen refueling stations, and regarded the internationalization of new energy vehicles as Japan.
On March 20 16, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan released the road map of pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles, determined the strategic objectives and implementation plans for the development of pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles in 2020, and set the cumulative sales target of 6,543.8+000 vehicles in 2020. The development goal of charging infrastructure is clear. The roadmap focuses on advanced batteries and materials in technology research and development strategy, and provides financial support for the research and development of lithium-ion power batteries and new batteries, the core technologies of electric vehicles. On March 20 16, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan released the strategic roadmap for hydrogen and fuel cells (revised version), which quantified the development of fuel cell vehicles and related infrastructure construction goals. It is proposed that the number of fuel cell vehicles will reach 800,000 in 2030 and 320 hydrogen refueling stations in 2025. These two road maps clearly describe the development goal and realization path of the next generation Japanese cars, as well as the future development direction of the new energy automobile industry.
