Zheshang Securities(SH:601878) 智通财经网·2026-01-06 08:19Group 1 - The core viewpoint is that the 2026 national subsidy policy for automobiles emphasizes quality improvement and efficiency, with a shift from fixed subsidies to percentage-based subsidies based on new car prices, along with a cap on the subsidy amount [1][2] - The new energy vehicle (NEV) scrap and replacement subsidy is set at 12% of the new car price, with a maximum of 20,000 yuan, while the replacement subsidy is 8% with a cap of 15,000 yuan. Compared to the 2025 policy, the subsidy decreases for cars priced below 166,700 yuan for scrap updates and below 187,500 yuan for replacement updates [2][3] - For fuel vehicles (2.0L and below), the scrap update subsidy is 10% of the new car price, capped at 15,000 yuan, and the replacement subsidy is 6%, capped at 13,000 yuan. Similar to NEVs, the subsidy decreases for vehicles priced below 150,000 yuan for scrap updates and below 216,700 yuan for replacement updates [3] Group 2 - The 2026 national subsidy policy is expected to exceed expectations, potentially driving demand for mid-to-high-end models and mitigating the negative impact of the reduction in purchase tax incentives for new energy vehicles. The policy's cap remains unchanged, but lower-priced electric vehicle subsidies decrease, which may boost sales and prices of higher-end models [3] - The commercialization of L3-level autonomous driving is set to begin, with the first batch of L3 vehicles receiving product access permits. This development is expected to enhance the penetration rate of core incremental components, such as EMB, which aligns with the stringent requirements for response speed and control precision in L3 and above autonomous driving [4] - Recommended stocks include Xpeng Motors and Geely Automobile for complete vehicles, Bertley for electronic control chassis, and Shanghai Yanpu, Jifeng Co., and Tiancai Zikong for automotive seating [4]
