Izera, or 20th Shanghai global Automobile manufacture Exhibition

chiny24.com 2 years ago

Shanghai global Automobile manufacture Exhibition is simply a cyclical event dedicated to the automotive industry. During this year's edition of the fair, which began on 18 April, and ends today, on 27 April 2023, the main subject was NEV cars, i.e. hybrid and electric, due to the fact that specified cars dominate the marketplace of fresh cars in China. They are sold the most in the world, and these sales grow year to year most dynamically on the global scale.

A affirmative origin is the fact that specified cars are very popular in large Chinese cities, while those with over 1 million inhabitants are already over 100 in China. So there's a large buyer market.

Another contributing origin is the intensively built network of public electrical car charging points. In 2022 there were almost 1.8 million in China, an increase of 56.7 percent compared to 2021.

It is besides crucial that the price of electricity is low and constant.

China is besides the world's largest marketplace for car manufacturers, car parts and components, and yet car battery manufacturers and all components from which today's batteries are made. Today, due to the fact that in China, work is being done to improve current solutions as well as alternate solutions, for example reducing or eliminating the usage of lithium for the production of batteries.

Photos and information from the exhibition, which Maciej sent me a fewer days ago, Patron of the podcast “China according to Leszek Ślazyk”, Polish graphic designer, who has worked and lived in Shanghai for years, introduced me to a state that is simply a mixture of melancholy, discouragement and depression. This is due to the acute realization of the real genre weight of the communicative known under the code name “Izer”, or the past of the Polish electrical car. According to an article in car Świat magazine, PLN 500 million has already been spent on “The Izer Project” (https://www.auto-swiat.pl/ev/news/izera-i-i-juz-us-tas-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-to-start-production/g9ne2xxx) And no of these expenses came out. And no of that money will come out. To make an electrical car very simple today, just go to a fair in Shanghai and put the pieces together. Like LEGO blocks. At these fairs, 1/3 of exhibitors are producers of finished cars, while 2/3 are companies providing production facilities for the industry. In all aspect: from the plan of the car, to the erasers to the wipers. Most Chinese companies entering very seriously the production of cars (and previously not related to the industry) did not start by building factories. due to the fact that there are many in China.

Cars of companies specified as NIO, XPeng, and even BYD were first created in experienced manufacturers. Only the sales volume, the acquired capacity to organize production, allowed these companies to decide to build their own plants.

All that is happening around Jizera in Poland is fiction, “The Fairy Tale of Moss and ferns” for the unwise electorate from 1 and completely passive electorate on the another hand.

500 million PLN versus the journey of a several-man delegation of people who know things in Shanghai. Plus possibly 2 more visits:

in Vietnam at VinFast (https://vinfastato.eu/fr),
in Turkey at Togg (https://www.togg.com.tr),

who are already selling their electrics in Europe to find out how it's done, and then figure out what all this makes sense.

500 million PLN of our taxes. Ragged companies, who have problems regulating the Social safety Offices, face energy costs, inability to pay wages, which would attract to work and satisfy the working people whose owners “at the end of the day” will learn that they have accumulated the full PLN 1,200 monthly pension in pension funds. Not the first and not the last 500 million. For electrical cars, central airports, atomic power stations and the strongest army in Europe. And this, and that. What? Nothing.

There's nothing to it. no of this will come of it. but possibly my melancholy, discouragement and depression.

Maciej sent me descriptions (short) of individual cars. But I don't put them on purpose. It's just a tiny part of what was shown in Shanghai. Still, you can't remember who, what, how and why...
