Jack Ma Offers China's Answer to Apple, Google Jack Ma offers China’s answer to Apple, Google with web car 7 Jul 2016 at 21:39 Jack Ma, Alibaba's founder and chairman, speaks during a launch event for the Roewe RX5 car in Hangzhou, in China's Zhejiang province, on Wednesday. (AFP photo) Billionaire Jack Ma is taking the challenge to Apple and Google by pushing Alibaba into the car business, joining the global battle to control the automobile dashboard. The Chinese e-commerce company’s YunOS operating system, which connects phones, tablets and smart watches, is now on its way into car dashboards, touch screens and advanced rear-view mirrors. Alibaba showcased its OS’Car technology in an SAIC Motor Roewe RX5 SUV model -- starting price 148,800 yuan ($22,000) -- that allows drivers to book a parking space, order a coffee and pay for it all using the company’s Alipay system. “We believe in the future that 80% of the car’s functionality won’t be related to transportation,” Ma, who is Alibaba’s founder and chairman, said at the event introducing the vehicle in Hangzhou, China. “The car will become a kind of robot you communicate with on a daily basis.” Alibaba is staking its claim on a segment of the global car industry that researcher IHS Automotive projects will grow by about 19% per year to become a $4.2 billion market by 2021. Whereas Google’s Android Auto and Apple’s CarPlay systems are enabling drivers in much of the rest of the world to extend connectivity from their phone to their car screens, they’re running into stiff competition in China, the world’s largest auto market. Track record Alibaba and SAIC have been building their positions in the connected car space for years. Ma, 51, acquired China’s most-popular mobile mapping service in July 2014, when Alibaba bought AutoNavi in a deal valuing the company at about $1.5 billion. SAIC, China’s largest automaker, started a 1 billion yuan fund with Alibaba in March 2015 to develop a connected car. The state-owned company has joint ventures with China’s top-selling global carmakers Volkswagen and General Motors. “Alibaba has wide-ranging Internet-based services and YunOS could be a starting point for their cooperation, especially due to the fact that lots of Google services are blocked in China,” said Michael Liu, an analyst at IHS Automotive in Shanghai. “Foreign brands are not likely to use the Alibaba system at least in the next several years.” Alliance talks Alibaba is in talks with several automakers about forming alliances to use YunOS, according to Wang Jian, chairman of Alibaba’s technology steering committee. The company also is working on certifying the system for vehicles in the United States, he said. “This is a car run on the internet; it’s not a car that has some internet capabilities,” he said in an interview. “iPhone made the first generation of phone that was part of the internet, just like the PC. This car is the first generation of cars that are becoming a new member of the internet.” Researcher IHS Automotive has forecast Apple’s CarPlay and Google’s Android Auto will become leading platforms for car connectivity, with the exception of China. Regulatory barriers including internet censorship regulations likely will fend off competition for Alibaba and Baidu’s CarLife. Representatives for Apple in Beijing and Google in Singapore didn’t immediately return calls and e-mails seeking comment. CarPlay, Android Apple’s CarPlay will be used by more than 40 auto brands to integrate the iPhone into the car’s telematics system for navigation, music playback and phone calls. Google’s Android Auto is available in models from at least 17 car brands, including Chevrolet, Honda, Hyundai and Mercedes-Benz, and is adding the traffic programme Waze to its navigation offerings. Ma, dressed in a gray tee-shirt and chinos, hopped into a white SAIC Roewe RX5 with his counterpart at SAIC Motor. Earlier, he thanked SAIC chairman Chen Hong for offering the SUV at a cheap price. “The pricing is shockingly low,” he said to the audience. “SAIC faces a lot of pressure to roll out the car at such prices.” Copyright © 1996 - 2015 The Post Publishing PLC.

  • Research on Carbon Emissions of Electric Vehicles Throughout the Life Cycle Assessment Taking Into Vehicle Weight and Grid Mix Composition
    energies Article Research on Carbon Emissions of Electric Vehicles throughout the Life Cycle Assessment Taking into Vehicle Weight and Grid Mix Composition Yanmei Li, Ningning Ha * and Tingting Li Department of Economics and Management, North China Electric Power University, Baoding 071000, China; [email protected] (Y.L.); [email protected] (T.L.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-10-752-5125 Received: 15 August 2019; Accepted: 18 September 2019; Published: 21 September 2019 Abstract: To study the impact of the promotion of electric vehicles on carbon emissions in China, the full life carbon emissions of electric vehicles are studied on the basis of considering such factors as vehicle weight and grid mix composition, and fuel vehicles are added for comparison. In this paper, we collect data for 34 domestic electric vehicles, and linear regression analysis is used to model the relationship between vehicle weight and energy consumption. Then, a Hybrid Life Cycle Assessment method is used to establish the life cycle carbon emission calculation model for electric vehicles and fuel vehicles. Finally, the life cycle carbon emissions of electric vehicles and fuel vehicles under different electrical energy structures are discussed using scenario analysis. The results show that under the current grid mix composition in China, the carbon emissions of electric vehicles of the same vehicle weight class are 24% to 31% higher than that of fuel vehicles. As the proportion of clean energy in the grid mix composition increases, the advantages of electric vehicles to reduce carbon emissions will gradually emerge. Keywords: vehicle weight; grid mix composition; electric vehicle; life cycle assessment; carbon emissions 1.

It will be a challenge for foreign automakers to venture into China directly. 3 Introduction On 13 June 2017, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (“MIIT”) and the Standardisation Administration of China (“SAC”) jointly published draft guidelines setting out the various automation levels of self-driving cars and the accompanying standards. The draft guidelines signalled the Chinese government’s ambitions to boost the development of self-driving cars in China.
