This paper analyzes the problems faced by the automobile manufacturing industry in China, including low quality and efficiency, weak competitiveness, insufficient high-mid-level supply ability, pressures due to highly competitive overseas brands and less approved status of independent brands, and the worrying situation about independent auto parts brands. Subsequently, the long-term bottlenecks that beset the development of the automobile industry in China are summarized, such as the weak foundations of good quality technology and manufacturing, as well as the lack of core technology, innovation, and a generic research platform. This paper puts forward the guiding ideology and phase-wise goals to improve the manufacturing quality from the perspective of developing new energy and intelligently connected vehicles, implementing automotive quality improvement projects, and other development strategies.
