And, in the previous 3 month on February 2, BYD co., Ltd. (1211.HK) also declared that Germany will and Daimler motor company (Daimler AG) entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on electric vehicles in China joint venture. And the first difference is that the new brand will jointly by BYD and Daimler and registered and have a completely distinct from the existing Daimler brands ( including Mercedes-Benz , Smart (Gallery Forum) , Maybach (Gallery Forum) ) and BYD brand.

This show to new energy cooperation-based features, global-scale industry restructuring are accelerating.

It was revealed that Mitsubishi Motors will start in October this year in Japan produced by the production of this car. Estimated at 5 to 6 years supply all 10 million cars. In addition, the two sides have announced on November 3, not capital.

Peugeot plans to inject 2000 billion to Mitsubishi 3000 billion yen (approximately 154 billion to $ 23 billion RMB), becoming its largest shareholder, but negotiations were not successful. On the other hand, both believe in environmental technology and marketing are complementary space, it is expected that the future is expected in the small car, and open up new markets, expand cooperation.

PSA claims is the world's largest vehicle manufacturer, so far in the global vehicle sales up to 10 million units.

For automobile manufacturers, environmental protection technology is increasingly becoming an important keywords that relate to future survival. Prior to this Toyota , car Reynolds , Nissan Alliance, etc. larger than PSA's manufacturers have in hybrid and electric vehicles and other fields establish certain technical advantages, in the struggle for life.

However, China's domestic manufacturers present in win international large-scale industry partners seems to be only BYD far away in the front. Subject to the Daimler last may have information that BYD also and automobile plan public quest in hybrid and lithium battery-powered electric vehicles area collaborate. Domestic local manufacturers in terms of new energy vehicles remains essentially silo, and even some local protection, duplication and disordered competition trends.

Whether China will become the new energy vehicles, global platform large arenas? different levels of Chinese enterprises to participate in new energy automobile global industry chain, and become important? these about China new energy vehicle integration and solution of the problem maybe will become an important topic in 2010.
