In the history of automobile development in China, ancient heroes hired horses on the battlefield, leaving many thrilling myths. Later, people invented two-wheeled or four-wheeled carts pulled by horses (or cows and donkeys) to meet the needs of the emperor's travel or war. In the Han Dynasty, a "chicken cart" appeared in Sichuan, which was made of hardwood and was 4 feet long. There are big frames on both sides of the trolley, which are pushed by two handlebars supported by one person, and sometimes they can be pulled forward and pushed back to carry people. Although this car is small, it can carry two or three hundred kilograms. Because the "chicken cart" landed on a single wheel, the trail can be unimpeded in both plain and mountainous areas. It is an economical and practical means of transportation, which is superior to human and animal power. This is an important invention in the history of human transportation. Later it spread to the Central Plains. During War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, the "chicken cart" carried grain, grass and luggage to the front line, which was an outstanding achievement. During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang invented the means of transportation when he left Qishan. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms (No.102) explained this matter, with the title "Sima Yi occupied the north and called it a bridge, and Zhuge Liang was a horse." Compared with the "chicken cart", it is a big step forward, and it can climb hills and hurdles. Relying on it, the grain crops produced in Chengdu Plain can continuously cross the majestic Qinling Mountains, where "apes want to climb across the sorrow". As for the form and principle of "building a wooden cow, connecting two rings, walking six feet and driving", it is still an eternal mystery. From its birth to the present, China's automobile industry has gone through several stages of development, from the early stage under the rule of the Japanese invaders, to the present, China's automobile manufacturers have won their own place and challenged the multinational giants with a long history. Like the history of China in the last century, the automobile industry in China has experienced several ups and downs in the past 1 10 years. 190 1 year, Hungarian Leinz pioneered the introduction of the first car into China. He ordered two Oldsmobiles, starting from America, passing through Hong Kong and finally arriving in Shanghai. The following year, the Shanghai municipal government issued the first automobile license plate in China. 193 1 year, in order to change the passive situation of backward traffic and dependence on foreign oil in China, Tang made the first one.

Charcoal-powered cars. 193 1 in the summer of, this car was tested for the first time in Zhengzhou, Henan province. 1936 Zhang Deqing became the deputy director of Zhuzhou General Factory of China Automobile Manufacturing Company. Zhang Deqing is one of the few engineers in China who have studied and worked in the United States and Germany, and has made outstanding contributions to the development of China's automobile industry. 1937- 1949 War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression Until the third revolutionary civil war, China's automobile industry came to a standstill, and automobile factories and a large number of automobile engineers turned to designing bombs and weapons and equipment. 1950 During President Mao Zedong's visit to the Soviet Union, China and the Soviet Union agreed that the Soviet Union would fully assist China in building the first truck factory. After more than a year's investigation and study, 195 1 year, the central government and the central people's government decided to locate the first automobile factory in the suburb of Changchun, Jilin. 1956 The first batch of domestic cars named "Liberation" by Chairman Mao were successfully trial-produced. The "Jiefang" car produced by Changchun No.1 Automobile Co., Ltd. is designed and manufactured by improving some structures on the basis of the Giss 150 car produced by the Soviet Union and according to the actual situation in China. 1959 "hongqi" car was formally finalized and put into production, and the production model was CA72, which was a two-seater car. This is the first real red flag car with a national number. On the day of the celebration of the founding of New China 10 anniversary, two "Red Flag" cars took part in the review and six "Red Flag" cars took part in the mass parade. 1969 in order to solve the problem that large-scale projects are in urgent need of mining dump trucks and rely on imports to control people, China has set off a nationwide upsurge in manufacturing heavy dump trucks. 1969, the first Shanghai SH380 was successfully trial-produced, which was the result of the cooperation between Shanghai truck factory and the national 169 factory.

1980, Toyota established its first automobile maintenance service center in Beijing. In June+10 of the same year, Toyota set up a representative office in Beijing, becoming one of the first foreign automobile manufacturers to set up a representative office in China. 1984 Shanghai Volkswagen joint venture contract was signed in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, and the first automobile joint venture in China was born. At first, Shanghai Volkswagen mainly produced Santana, and now its Volkswagen and Skoda brand cars have reached 12 models.

2/kloc-0: Ten-year development began in 2000: 4S shop sales year Although1March 26th, 999, the first Guangzhou Honda 4S shop was opened in Huangshi Road, Guangzhou, which integrated vehicle sales, after-sales service, spare parts supply and information feedback, this sales model had a great response among automobile enterprises, but it was not normalized. In 2000, many automobile companies followed suit.

200 1: The price of imported cars dropped sharply. 1After joining the WTO in 1997, the price of imported cars dropped sharply. At the same time, after several years of accumulation, independent brands represented by Chery, Geely and Great Wall began to compete with joint venture brands and imported cars in terms of sales volume and new product research and development. In particular, the price range of 55,438+10,000 yuan has begun to occupy a large market share, forming a tripartite confrontation with the joint venture brand of 10-30 and imported cars of 300,000 yuan. 2002: The turning point of China's sales volume is 200 1. China sold 3,256,5438+0,000 vehicles, surpassing South Korea to become the fifth largest market in the world, prompting global automobile manufacturers to set up factories in China for localized production. Under this virtuous circle, it laid the foundation for China to become the first in the world eight years later.

In 2003, there was a blowout of individual car purchase in the automobile market. Before 2003, automobile sales were mainly purchased by enterprises and institutions. The particularity of SARS stimulated the purchase of individual vehicles and became the first year of individual purchase leading automobile consumption. 2004: Manufacturers set off official price reduction. After the blowout in 2003, the automobile market in 2004 showed a trend of depression, especially after the Beijing Auto Show in 2004, the growth of the automobile market suddenly slowed down. Shanghai Volkswagen and FAW-Volkswagen, the former car kings, joined hands to officially cut prices, and the Passat model dropped by as much as 46,000. Subsequently, many manufacturers followed up the official price cuts, which also normalized the terminal price war in the automobile market. The participation of more manufacturers made the price of family cars cheaper and cheaper, with far-reaching influence. 2005: In the year when the state supported individuals to buy cars, the household registration restrictions for foreigners to buy cars were cancelled. Although this is only a policy in Beijing, it shows the government's support for individuals to buy cars. It is precisely because the state began to support individuals to buy cars that the corresponding loan policy was implemented. Under the dual influence of car price and policy, family cars began to enter families on a large scale in 2005, and the automobile market entered a period of rapid growth. 2006: Compared with previous years, 2006 became the year with the highest frequency of new models. From 65438+1 October1to March 3rd in just 62 days, 22 new products appeared for promotion. In the first half of the year, 62 new cars were launched, including 25 brand-new models and 37 modified models. It can also be seen that in this year, manufacturers have begun to promote sales by pushing new cars, which is still an important means for manufacturers to boost sales. 2007: The year of auto insurance adjustment In 2007, the Interim Law on Floating Compulsory Insurance Rates formulated by the China Insurance Regulatory Commission and the Ministry of Public Security was officially promulgated on June 28th. The "Measures" stipulate that since July 1 day, the floating mechanism linking compulsory insurance rates with road traffic accidents will be uniformly implemented nationwide. The floating range is determined to be the highest 30%, and the premium of cars with less than 6 seats is also increased from the previous 1050 yuan.

Transfer money to 950 yuan. After the promulgation of the new "Measures", the relevant compensation standards have been refined, so that all kinds of accidents can be legally followed and linked to the accident risk rates of both parties, making civil insurance more humanized and standardized. 2008: the year of energy saving and small displacement. From September 2008 1, the automobile consumption tax was adjusted, the consumption tax rate of large-displacement passenger cars above 3.0 liters was greatly increased, and the consumption tax rate of small-displacement passenger cars below 1.0 liters was reduced. For vehicles with displacement between 3.0 liters and 4.0 liters, the tax rate is adjusted from the original 15% to 25%, and for vehicles with displacement above 4.0 liters, the tax rate is raised from the original 20% to 40%. Large-displacement consumption tax not only inhibits the consumption of large-displacement cars, but also urges automobile manufacturers to introduce cars with small-displacement and high-power engines. In 2009, in order to stimulate domestic demand, the government introduced the policy of halving the purchase tax of 1.6 liter and below, and drove cars to the countryside. The timely introduction of these policies has effectively stimulated automobile consumption, and the sales volume in China market has increased against the global market. It not only benefits consumers, but also helps car companies to stabilize their confidence, which plays a vital role in the development of China's automobile industry. At the beginning of 2009, China became the largest automobile market in the world. Year: 20 10: in the second quarter of the first year of pure electric vehicles, four national standards on electric vehicles passed the examination and were determined one after another. For consumers to buy new energy vehicles, the state is also planning to encourage consumption in the form of subsidies. For example, the purchase of new energy vehicles can enjoy a subsidy of up to 60,000 yuan, while the subsidy for the purchase of more advanced fuel cell vehicles can reach up to 250,000 yuan. The introduction of policies related to new energy vehicles shows the state's policy support for the development of new energy vehicles and the future development direction of the automobile industry. In 20 10, the national automobile sales exceeded180,000, and the market share of domestic manufacturers increased from 26% two years ago to 30%. Although the traffic control measures implemented by the government will have a certain impact on automobile sales, experts predict that China's automobile sales will still be.

The increase of 10% to 15% will be maintained.
