Implement a three-year subsidy to electrify construction machinery and replicate passenger cars?

Under the "double carbon" target, green development has become a widespread consensus. As electric passenger vehicles accelerate into every household, a revolution of new energy resources led by electric transformation is spreading from the field of passenger vehicles to the field of construction machinery. Major construction machinery manufacturers have released electricization products, and product categories and models are constantly enriched and developed, the supply chain system is re-engineered, three-power technology is collaborated, and the business model system is innovated, and the electricization of construction machinery is a spring wave.

The media publicity and shouting of manufacturers have been loud, but the thunder is smaller. Judging from market sales, electric construction machinery is still in the difficult situation of "applauding rather than applauding". Users are reluctant to act as "guinea pigs" for experimentation, and electric construction appliances are more than a "flower vase" to cater to policy regulation. How to crack difficulties and break bottlenecks? Perhaps a lesson can be drawn from subsidies for electric passenger cars.

At this year's two sessions of the National People's Congress, Wang Dujuan, a national representative of the National people's congress, proposed to implement a three-year subsidy policy for electrically powered construction machinery products. She predicted that by 2025, the sales of electric products in the industry will be greatly improved, and the sales revenue of the three major products will be 42 billion yuan, 20 billion yuan and 10 billion yuan respectively.

Xiang Wenbo, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), also suggested that policies should be strengthened at the national level to make overall planning and integration, accelerate the construction of infrastructure system of new energy resources, and further accelerate the development of new energy industries.

“New energy resources is a new track. In the past, we have established a good electric vehicle industry system for passenger cars through active fiscal subsidies, making China's electricization leading the world. Further deepening the promotion of electrification also requires the support of the country to accelerate the construction of infrastructure and system adapted to new energy resources.”Xiang Wenbo said.

It is imperative to support new energy resources construction machinery

The development of electric construction machinery is not only the future trend and direction, but also the realistic need.

First, the carbon emissions of traditional oil-burning construction machinery lead to high energy consumption and environmental pollution. Data show that the total diesel consumption of construction machinery accounts for about one third of the national total. The average high-emission construction machinery emissions are equivalent to the emissions of 30-50 household cars combined, and some old construction machinery that has been used for too long emits even more. According to estimates, China's total annual carbon emissions of construction machinery more than 200 million tons. Electric construction machinery is basically zero emission and can better solve the environmental problems caused by carbon emissions.

Secondly, the real demand for low carbon construction is growing rapidly, which has spawned the demand for electric construction machinery. Ecologically fragile areas such as Sichuan and Tibet have high environmental requirements, and electrified products can greatly reduce the environmental impact of construction. There are also some enclosed spaces and tunnel construction, which are characterized by poor ventilation conditions, insufficient oxygen, and low operation sustainability, and electrification products can effectively ensure construction progress and shorten the construction period.

In addition, the lower cost of electric construction machinery has become one of the main reasons for its increasing popularity.

Electric construction machinery still faces difficulties

Since electric construction machinery has so many advantages, it should advance triumphantly all the way in the market, but the reality is not satisfactory. At present, the penetration rate of new energy resources construction machinery in China is still less than 1%. Take loaders, for example, a total of 123355 loaders of all kinds were sold in 2022, and the sales of electric loaders in the year was only 1160 units, less than 1% of the total sales.

Why does this happen? There are several reasons for our analysis:

First, the cost of buying and replacing spare parts is high. Although the cost of electric construction machinery has been greatly reduced, the cost of manufacturing or one-time purchase has remained high. For example, the price of a pure electric loader is about 800 thousand yuan, while the price of a fuel loader is about 350 thousand yuan, and the middle price difference is as high as 450,000 yuan. This kind of large difference is also a common phenomenon in other types of electric construction machinery.

Second, the battery life is short, and the performance is constantly decaying during use. At this stage, most of the construction machinery used are lithium batteries and lithium iron phosphate batteries. The number of charges and discharges of better-performing lithium batteries generally does not exceed a thousand times, and even if the battery is charged only once a day, the life of the lithium battery does not surpass 3 years. Lithium iron phosphate batteries can be charged about 2,000 times under reasonable charge and discharge, and their service life is only about 5 years. Therefore, in terms of the service life of the battery alone, there is a significant gap compared to traditional diesel engines.

Third, electrification support facilities and services are lagging, and the working environment is limited. The daily working environment of construction machinery is usually harsh, with high temperature, high dust, and high vibration, and high requirements are put forward for the quality of the battery and motor of the product. Moreover, the speed of construction machinery is low, most products cannot be driven on the road, difficult to achieve long distances and frequent mobile charging, and often requires additional support facilities.

Policy support to accelerate the improvement of the industrial chain

To break the development bottleneck of electric construction machinery, on the one hand, manufacturers and battery production enterprises need to continue to innovate in technology, further reduce battery costs, improve battery life, and provide more supporting facilities and services.

At the same time, national policy support will be the key to solving the challenges of the electric construction machinery industry.

The development of electric passenger cars is a successful example, bringing many lessons to be learned from electric construction machinery. As early as 2013, China had supportive policies to subsidize the purchase of new energy resources vehicles. As of June 2022, the penetration of domestic new energy resources vehicles has reached 21.6%, exceeding the target of 20% by 2025 as planned by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

Representative Wang Dujuan suggested that users could be subsidised for purely electric construction machinery products purchased by users, following the subsidy principle of "who buys, who uses, who enjoys." The three-year subsidy policy for electrically powered construction machinery products is expected to significantly increase sales of electric products in the industry by 2025. Some industry insiders predict that the penetration rate of electric construction machinery will reach 25% in 2025.

The electrification of construction machinery is one of the key development directions for China to realize energy transformation, and the electrification of engineering machinery will help China's construction machinery to achieve "deceleration" and "leading" and promote the global green revolution in engineering machinery. The introduction and implementation of relevant policies will open up the corresponding market, the number of companies laying down in this field will continue to increase, the product upstream and downstream industrial chain will be further improved, and the market will definitely usher in faster development.
