Core Viewpoint - The Shandong Provincial Political Consultative Conference emphasizes the need for policies to support the transformation of the internal combustion engine industry towards high-end, intelligent, and green development, which is crucial for upgrading Shandong's manufacturing sector [1][2]. Group 1: High-End Development - The internal combustion engine industry in Shandong is a key sector, with a significant contribution to the national economy and defense, but faces challenges in high-end market penetration and core technology development [2][3]. - There are hidden barriers in the high-end market, particularly in the data center power generation systems, which are dominated by international brands, posing supply chain security risks [3]. - The industry lacks mature domestic alternatives for critical components, such as high-precision gas valves and fuel systems, which hinders its ability to move up the value chain [3]. Group 2: Intelligent Transformation - The internal combustion engine industry is experiencing a trend towards digital integration, but faces challenges in collaborative efficiency and digital transformation [5][6]. - There is a lack of unified standards for data sharing among enterprises, which hampers overall industry efficiency [6]. - Small and medium-sized enterprises are hesitant to adopt digital transformation due to high costs and unclear pathways, leading to isolated data systems [6][7]. Group 3: Green Development - The internal combustion engine industry is working towards a multi-fuel technology system, including methanol, hydrogen, and ammonia, which is essential for achieving carbon neutrality goals [8][9]. - There is an imbalance in policy support for low-carbon technologies compared to electric products, creating a disadvantage for hydrogen internal combustion engine vehicles [8][9]. - The infrastructure for alternative fuel refueling stations is lacking, which limits the application of mature technologies [8][9]. Group 4: Recommendations - The industry should focus on promoting domestic high-end equipment and establish a collaborative innovation center for key technologies [4][7]. - A comprehensive support system for digital transformation should be developed, including training and resources for small and medium-sized enterprises [7]. - Policies should be created to support the construction of alternative fuel infrastructure and ensure fair competition among different technology routes [9].
