Industry Review (1) Basic information on the industry The internal combustion engine is an important support for China's manufacturing industry security, energy security and national defense security, and an important basic industry of national economy and national defense 2 Changchai Company, Limited Annual Report 2022 (Summary) construction. The internal combustion engine is the most power-dense, thermally efficient and widely used heat engine power unit. In order to implement the national overall development strategy of energy conservation, emission reduction, transformation, and upgrading, the internal combustion engine industry and agricultural machinery industry will strengthen independent innovation and research and development, accelerate the construction of a common basic technology platform, optimize the construction of the upstream and downstream industry chain, implement intelligent manufacturing, and actively carry out international exchange and cooperation to accelerate the realization of industrial technology upgrading. (2) Development pattern and trend of the industry In terms of policies, at the beginning of 2023, the 20th No. 1 Document guiding the work on agriculture, rural areas, and farmers issued by the central government demonstrated the government’s intention to attach greater importance to agriculture and strengthen agricultural development. In a bid to do so, the government will step up efforts to enhance agricultural science and technology and provide more equipment, drive to tackle key problems of key and core technologies in agriculture, and make agricultural machinery more intelligent and automated. In terms of industry concerns, the upgrade and conversion to products that meet the National Emission Standard IV raise challenges to enterprises. At the end of 2022, the central government appropriated RMB211.5 billion of agriculture-related transfer payment funds for 2023 in advance, including RMB14.5 billion for subsidies of agricultural machinery procurement and application. The central government allocated substantive funds for subsidies and implemented policies to strengthen agriculture and benefit farmers, indicating that the state will continue to attach great importance to agricultural mechanization. In terms of industrial development, after a ten-year golden period of development, since 2016, the entire agricultural machinery industry has entered a period of deep adjustment that has lasted for years. Although short-term explosive growth was seen in 2020, it went down again, entering a phase of updating existing machinery from the growth of new machine procurement. 2022, the first year of switching to the National Emission Standard IV for Non-road Vehicles, the agricultural machinery industry faced pressures such as the shrinking of the demand side, premature market overdraft, participation of tycoons from other industries, and the impact of new energy market on the traditional market. Currently, multiple segmented scenarios still require all-weather and continuous input and output, which is an advantage of diesel engines that cannot be substituted in a short time. Furthermore, new development opportunities have been brought about in the process of national strategic deployment and acceleration of transformation and upgrade. Therefore, the traditional market of agricultural machinery still has a brilliant future. China's diesel engine and gasoline engine industries present a pattern of multiple competitions. As the state adopts 3 Changchai Company, Limited Annual Report 2022 (Summary) increasingly strict environmental protection policy and the emission standards continue to upgrade, the core technology and key parts of internal combustion engines will be rapidly developed and applied, and the research, development, promoting and application of environmentally friendly and efficient diesel engines and gasoline engines will become the mainstream trend, which promotes the wide use of the fuel injection system, high-efficiency supercharger and high-efficiency after-treatment. In the new normal, the internal combustion engine industry and agricultural machinery industry will improve the industry's capability of independent innovation, support the whole machine development, and organize and implement green manufacturing and intelligent manufacturing, so as to improve the overall strength of the industry. The market share of diesel and gasoline engines is gradually concentrated in a few large-scale enterprises with technical and capital strength. The present development trend of internal combustion engine industry is as follows: (1) energy saving and emission reduction; (2) intelligent manufacturing; (3) lightweight. Medium- and low-end internal combustion engines with low technical content and low added value will be gradually squeezed out of the market. The upgrade of emission standards and the market's demand for high-end products will eliminate those small enterprises with low level of research and development or less technology reserves. (3) Sales of internal combustion engine industry in 2022 The total volume of the market dropped significantly due to factors such as subsidy policy change, tight supply chain, upgrading of the National Emission Standard IV for Non-road Vehicles, and intensified existing competition. The total sales of internal combustion engines in 2022 were 43,154,700 units, a decrease of 14.51% compared to 2021. The total sales of diesel engines for the year were 4,286,600 units, down by 29.82% year on year. Specifically, 837,200 engines for construction machinery, 1,222,300 engines for agricultural machinery, 39,700 engines for shipborne machinery, and 311,700 engines for electricity generation were sold. The sales of gasoline internal combustion engines were 38,856,000, a drop of 12.39% year on year. On the whole, the internal combustion engine market showed a declining tendency for the whole year, with the construction and agricultural machinery still showing an adjustment trend. The agricultural machinery industry faced a major shakeout, focusing on the switching of products that meet the China IV emission standards for non-road mobile machinery. According to the information on the subsidies of agricultural machinery procurement, the main terminal products that need to be upgraded to meet China IV emission standards are large and medium tractors, wheat harvesters, forage harvesters, and spray rod-type sprayers. The market paid more attention to whether they can be adequately verified to meet China IV emission standards and whether mass production can be realized. In the second half of 2022, the sales of large and medium tractors, wheat harvesters, and corn harvesters peaked, showing that the traditional demand cycle was altered. 4 Changchai Company, Limited Annual Report 2022 (Summary) In terms of the segments of the internal combustion engine market, in 2022, 897,300 units of construction machinery were sold, down by 21.00% year on year; 4,141,300 units of agricultural machinery were sold, down by 22.87% year on year; 39,700 units of shipborne machinery were sold, down by 1.18% year on year; 1,253,000 units of generator sets were sold, down by 19.02 year on year; and 1,645,400 units of horticultural machinery were sold, down by 34.15% year on year. Compared with last year, the year-over-year growth of all kinds of machinery was negative. Due to the impact of international trade and the characteristics of the enterprise scale, the internal combustion engine industry was steady and showed a positive trend on the whole. In 2022, the total volume of imports and exports was USD30,086 million, down by 2.47% year on year; specifically, the import volume was USD8,803 million, down by 18.63% year on year and the export volume was USD21,284 million, up by 6.27% year on year. 4. The Company's position in the market We mainly specialize in the R&D, manufacture and sales of diesel engines under the brand "Changchai" and gasoline engines under the brand "Robin". Up to now, we have successfully developed a number of advanced core technologies with independent intellectual property rights. In terms of diesel engine, according to the statistics of China Internal Combustion Engine Industry Association (CICEIA), as the largest small- and medium-sized single-cylinder diesel engine manufacturer in the agricultural machinery industry of China, we have maintained a high market share of single-cylinder engines, and our market share of single-cylinder diesel engines of some power ranges has ranked first in China. For many years, in the process of achieving steady economic development of the enterprise, we developed in a sound manner and cultivated the "Changchai" brand, a famous small diesel engine brand of China with independent intellectual property rights. 3.
