The development of new energy vehicles stands as a crucial national strategy in China, based on considerations of oil security, air pollution, and industrial advancement. China is also a front-runner in automotive intelligence. Electric vehicles, with their inherent advantage in intelligence, outmatch traditional fuel-powered vehicles in terms of autonomous driving capabilities.
New energy vehicles represent a technological ecosystem rather than a mere shift to electrification. This comprehensive system encompasses the essence of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and propels three fundamental transformations: electrification, intelligence evolution, and decarbonization.
The realization of the three transformations aims to make China an automotive powerhouse. Beyond that, it involves not only domestic strategies but also global market integration, fostering thus upscale development.
