Research on the New Energy Vehicles Industry’s National Development Strategy

Abstract

As an essential sector in the world's future automotive industry, new energy vehicles will introduce significant differences into China's energy, environmental, economic, science and technology, and societal development. In order to better support development decision making and ensure healthy and sustainable development of the industry, this research group has thoroughly studied the influences that the new energy vehicles industry will bring to China. We affirm that this industry has great strategic significance for energy security, emission reduction, environmental conservation, and industry transformation and upgrading for China. After providing a study of supportive policy and of the product technology level of the new energy vehicles industry (both domestic and overseas), and a summary and evaluation of the pros and cons of China's automotive industry, we offer proposals for strategic positioning, route selection, and cultivation priority for the future development of China's new energy vehicles industry.
