Every March, the annual "two sessions" will become a hot spot for the public. The 13th session of the National Committee of CPPCC will be held in Beijing on March 3, 2018. The first meeting of the 13th National People's Congress will be held in Beijing on March 5, 2018. With the approaching of the two sessions, what are the most concerned issues for engineers about the first two sessions after the 19th National Congress? The website of Construction Equipment Online has listed some hot topics in the industry, and you can also send us your concerns in the message after reading this article.

 

Hot topic: strict environmental protection

 

At this year's two sessions, all provinces and cities have set the pollution control as an important goal. At the 21st annual meeting of China's excavator industry in 2017, Su Zimeng, executive vice president and secretary general of China Construction Machinery Industry Association, revealed that the emission standards for construction machinery will be strictly controlled again, high-emission equipment will be eliminated, and the banned area will expand rapidly. It can be foreseen that with the further tightening and launching of policies of environmental protection in 2018, the emission requirements for equipment in the construction machinery industry will be more stringent. In the face of the current environmental protection situation, the two sessions will tell us which environmental protection tasks will become a hot spot for deputies and the public.

 

For construction machinery, the third-phase national emission standards for non-road mobile machinery has been implemented nationwide, and the fourth-phase national emission standards will be implemented in 2019. Developing the application earlier, enhancing technical reserves, deepening the understanding of technology, and having an intimate knowledge of supporting resources are challenges faced by the construction machinery industry.

 

Hot topic: supply-side reform

 

The report of the 19th National Congress pointed out that to build a modern economic system, we must focus on the development of the real economy, and give high priority to the improvement of the quality of the supply system, and significantly enhance the quality of China's economy. Accelerate the construction of a great manufacturing country, accelerate the development of advanced manufacturing industry, promote the deep integration of the Internet, big data, artificial intelligence and the real economy, and cultivate new economic growth points and form new momentum in the fields of medium and high level consumption, innovation driving, green low-carbon, shared economy, modern supply chain, human capital services, etc. Support the optimization and upgrading of traditional industries, accelerate the development of modern service industry, and reach the level of international standards.

 

It is an important task for the construction machinery industry to focus on cutting overcapacity, destocking, deleveraging, reduing costs, identifying growth areas, and optimizing the allocation of stock resources to promote the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry. In the process of deepening the supply-side structural reform, the difficulty faced by the construction machinery industry is not the speed of development, but the realization of high-quality and high-level development and improvement. With the deepening of supply-side structural reform, the construction of infrastructures such as high-speed rail, highways, bridges, ports and airports has been accelerated, which brings a broader development space for the construction machinery industry.

 

Hot topic: the Belt and Road Initiative

 

In 2017, the world economy maintained a relatively obvious recovery. The economic growth rate of major economies was higher than that of 2016. Among them, the US and Eurozone economies grew steadily, Asian emerging economies maintained rapid growth, and economic growth in the Russian and Latin American economies turned from negative to positive, the economic growth rate of the Middle East and North Africa declined, which was affected by political factors. The “Belt and Road Initiative” effectively promoted the overseas export of construction machinery. With the recovery of the global construction machinery market, the United States promoted infrastructure construction, and the overseas development of domestic construction machinery enterprises gradually deepened, and the growth of overseas markets is expected to be good in the future. The “Belt and Road Initiative”remains the growth point of construction machinery industry. Overseas exports are expected to increase by more than 10% in 2018.

 

Hot topic: Made in China 2025 Initiative

 

At this year's two sessions, "smart manufacturing" has been widely acclaimed in many places. It is reported that there perhaps will be 30 pilot cities of Made in China 2025 Initiative. Experts believe that the "new three-pole" pattern is expected to be formed quickly, which includes manufacturing industry of eastern China shifting to high-end equipment manufacturing, industry of central China upgrading, and breakthroughs in the competitive industries of western China, and smart manufacturing has become a new impetus in manufacturing industry.

 

It is generally believed that with the continuous implementation of the Made in China 2025 Initiative, China's manufacturing industry will step into a new stage. The "new three-pole" pattern is expected to be formed quickly, which includes manufacturing industry of eastern China shifting to high-end equipment manufacturing, industry of central China upgrading, and breakthroughs in the competitive industries of western China. The proposal of "Made in China 2025 Initiative" is a new opportunity for China's construction machinery manufacturing industry. Qu Xianming, director of the Manufacturing Research Office of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and member of the National Manufacturing Strategy Advisory Committee, said that at present, China's three major industries, including industries of household appliances, petroleum refining and chemical engineering, are hoped to rank the first in the world by 2025.

 

Hot topic: traffic construction

 

The work conference on national transportation clearly put forward that in 2018, the mileage of new expressways will be 5,000 kilometers, the newly-built national trunk highway 16,000 kilometers, and the newly-built rural road 200,000 kilometers. In addition, 5000 villages with newly-built hardened road and 5,000 villages with commuter bus will be constructed. High-grade waterway of the inland river will has a mileage of 600 kilometers. The container rail-water intermodal transport in major ports will increase by more than 15%.

 

Accelerate the "Belt and Road" transportation interconnection, and promote the "Belt and Road" construction to cooperate with ASEAN, SCO and Eurasian Economic Union in the transportation industry. Continue to promote the "Six Corridor One Road" major project, and the construction of the expressway and the construction of the port road and the boundary river bridge. Promote maritime interconnection and development.
