Delphi Domestic Parts Catch American Electric Vehicles

Against the backdrop of rising global crude oil prices, China has upgraded its electric vehicle strategy to a national strategy and hopes to lead the global production and consumption of new energy vehicles. Yesterday, the reporter learned that Delphi's core components produced in China will be carried on the world’s first mass-produced American electric vehicle.

Jiang Jian, deputy general manager of Delphi Automotive Systems China Investment Corporation and director of public affairs and marketing for Delphi’s Asia Pacific region, said, “China is expected to truly lead the world in electric vehicles. First, China is the world’s largest subsidy for electric vehicles, and California is already ranked first in the world. Secondly, Chinese consumers are much more receptive to electric vehicles than in Europe. According to the JD Power survey, 60% of Chinese car buyers are willing to buy electric cars, which is much higher than Europe and the United States."

Under the temptation of a huge market, auto parts giants such as Delphi began to walk on two legs. On the one hand, China is one of the global production bases for core components of new energy vehicles; on the other hand, it seeks to cooperate with China's OEMs in the pre-research and development. In the second half of this year, the US CODA Electric Vehicle Company will launch an electric four-seater sedan. In 2011, it plans to sell 14,000 electric vehicles to California, the world's first mass-produced electric car. Delphi provides key power electronic components, high-voltage electronic/electrical architecture components and multi-function antennas. "The high-voltage electrical systems are all developed and produced in Shanghai, and the on-board DC chargers are developed and produced by Delphi in the United States," said Li Wei, director of electrical architecture/electronic systems for Delphi Packard Asia Pacific. This is also the first Chinese company to enter the US electric car. Production of core components.
