In addition, the establishment of low emission zones in some provinces and cities and the renewal of stock markets will also bring new market opportunities to the industry.
He hoped that relevant enterprises would make a rational analysis of the market demand of each product line and set reasonable expectations. In order to meet the needs of users, we should reasonably arrange and organize production according to market needs. At the same time, strengthen fund management and channel management, and take multiple measures to improve business quality and profitability.
We should accurately grasp the deployment requirements of "stabilizing the overall economic situation, seizing the time window, and striving to push the economy back to the normal track" proposed by the State Council meeting, grasp the key nodes, seizing the time window, and effectively respond to current risks and challenges, so as to make contributions to stabilizing growth, stabilizing market players, and ensuring employment. At the same time, the industry should unswervingly implement the innovation driven development strategy, and continue to fight for the upgrading of the industrial foundation and the modernization of the industrial chain; Accelerate the transformation of industrial kinetic energy, firmly grasp the opportunities of coal, water conservancy, transportation, old community reconstruction, underground comprehensive pipe gallery and other projects as well as new infrastructure construction projects, look for new business opportunities, and show new achievements in the new market competition; We should make full use of all kinds of rescue and assistance policies, and the association will also actively put forward policy suggestions to promote the implementation and effectiveness of various rescue policies in the industry; Continue to adhere to the international development strategy and expand the overseas engineering application of domestic high-level construction machinery.
Qi Jun: implement the relevant requirements of environmental protection and make preparations for the scheduled switching of the "fourth national" emission standards
With regard to the implementation of the "fourth national" emission standard, Qi Jun believes that since the release of the "fourth national" standard, the construction machinery industry, from the main engine to the engine enterprises, as well as the entire upstream and downstream industrial chain of the industry, has been making various preparations for the official implementation of the "fourth national" emission switch nationwide on December 1 this year. The association has always paid close attention to and followed up the emission related work of construction machinery. Maintain close communication with environmental protection departments at all levels, timely reflect the actual demands of the industry, coordinate various practical problems encountered by enterprises in the implementation process, and effectively solve problems for industry enterprises. In 2022, due to the superposition of various adverse factors at home and abroad, industry enterprises are generally facing market pressure. In order to better switch the "fourth national" emission upgrading from the aspects of supply chain and industrial chain, steadily promote the implementation of the "fourth national" emission standards, reduce the pressure on enterprises to operate, and maintain the stable and sustainable development of the industry, the association has recently consulted and recommended enterprises' policies on "fourth national" emissions, The report "request for instructions on the delay in the implementation of the" national Fourth "emission standard for non road mobile construction machinery" was submitted to the Department of atmospheric environment of the Ministry of ecological environment, suggesting that the time for the conversion of the complete products of the national third emission standard of construction machinery to the "national Fourth" emission standard should be extended from December 1, 2022 to April 1, 2023. However, the relevant policy information of the relevant national departments on the extension has not been obtained yet. It is hoped that the industry enterprises should make preparations for the scheduled switch in accordance with the established objectives and requirements.
In August 2022, the association plans to organize and hold the "exchange Seminar on environmental emission in construction machinery industry", and will invite relevant government departments and industry experts to interpret and exchange China's environmental emission policies, four stage emission standards, platform construction and other aspects, hoping to answer more questions and doubts for Industry Enterprises.
At the same time, the association actively advocates that construction machinery industry enterprises should implement the relevant requirements of environmental protection with a high sense of social responsibility, not only continue to invest in the research and development of diesel engine products, but also accelerate the development, industrialization and market-oriented promotion and application of new energy products such as hybrid power and pure electric, and explore new energy-saving and emission reduction technology routes.
With regard to the holding of the 16th BICES exhibition, Wu peiguo said that the "16th China International Engineering machinery, building materials machinery and mining machinery exhibition and technology exchange conference" (hereinafter referred to as the 16th BICES exhibition), which was hosted by the association, was originally scheduled to be held in Beijing from September 14 to 17, 2021, but due to the impact of the COVID-19, the time and place of the exhibition were adjusted six times, and finally decided to suspend it. It is mainly to ensure the safety of exhibitors and visitors and the expected results of various activities during the exhibition period, so that exhibitors and visitors can achieve tangible gains and maximize the effect through the exhibition. At the same time, as one of the co sponsors of Bauma China exhibition to be held in Shanghai in November 2022, how to do a good job in the overall planning between the two exhibitions and effectively reduce the burden on enterprises is also an important factor for the organizers of BICES exhibition to consider suspending the hosting.
Recently, with the relatively stable epidemic situation, some regional exhibitions have gradually resumed. Many exhibitors hope that the 16th BICES can continue to be held this year. They eagerly hope that the association can provide a platform for everyone to release their latest innovation achievements and carry out face-to-face exchanges with customers at a time when the industry is more difficult, and fully express their love and support for BICES. As the Chinese host of Bauma China exhibition, on the premise of fully supporting the success of the Shanghai exhibition, we will comprehensively consider the development trend of the epidemic and make overall and proper arrangements for the two exhibitions from the perspective of all exhibitors and user audiences. Whether and how the 16th BICES will be held this year will be announced to the public in due course after full consultation between the exhibition organizers.
The press conference was broadcast by the video number of "Huihui pilot construction machinery network" belonging to Huihui pilot advertising media Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the association, and received strong support and participation from industry media such as the first construction machinery network.
