“…Such vehicles enabled drivers with poor behavioural attributes to excessively exceed speed limits, especially on freeways. A South African car manufacturer defined high-performance vehicles as having superior speed and power abilities in relation to their body size (Minchin, 2021). Such cars are mostly acquired for "enjoyment" rather than mere transportation (Minchin, 2021).…”

This study explores the law enforcement model for vehicle speed in Tshwane municipality of South Africa. South Africa has comparatively high road traffic crashes and casualty rates. Most of these crashes are associated with illegal speeding. This study was designed against the background of protracted road traffic crashes the triple causative factors as well as existing traffic law enforcement systems and processes aimed at managing illegal speeding. Data were collected from a sample of 28 senior law enforcement officials from the Tshwane Metropolitan Police Department (TMPD) traffic division, the Gauteng Traffic Police and the National Traffic Police. Qualitative data were analysed using thematic analysis’ open and axial coding processes on Atlas.ti.8. In its findings, the study developed a model that shows that illegal speeding and consequential road crashes were caused by an interaction of multiple factors. These were poor human behavioural elements as the main factor, road-environment factors and vehicle-related factors in the presence of inadequate and uncoordinated traffic law enforcement, weak penal systems for offenders, corruption, poor driver training and low road safety education.

The popularization of electric vehicles (EVs) is beneficial to the sustainable development of energy and the environment. China’s promotion and development strategy for EVs will serve as a model for other countries. EV ownership has a significant difference between first/second-tier (FST) cities and third/fourth-tier (TFT) cities and there is a huge growth potential for the EV market in those TFT cities. This paper aims to explore the factors influencing the adoption intentions for EVs in FST and TFT cities under a subsidy deduction and to make a comparative analysis of their regional heterogeneity. Based on the extended theory of planned behavior (TPB) model, the structural equation model is used to compare the factors affecting the adoption intention for EVs of 858 respondents in China. The results show that attitude, subjective norms, novelty seeking, non-financial incentive, product cognition, and environmental concerns are positively related to intention in FST and TFT cities; however, infrastructure development only has a positive significant impact in the TFT cities. Additionally, the subsidy deduction has a more negative impact on the adoption intentions in FST cities. Our findings provide vital insights for formulating government regulations and marketing strategies depending on the diverse sizes and attributes of Chinese cities.

“…As the future development trend of new energy vehicles in the automobile industry, each automobile manufacturing company must first conduct market research to determine the acceptance of new energy products by consumers, and to clarify the development direction of new energy vehicles in the future. At the same time, increase technical and financial support for new energy vehicles [10], and reduce costs by improving technology and large-scale production as soon as possible. Finally, do a good job in product positioning, and based on fully understanding the advantages of your products, reasonably configure the attributes, price, production volume, etc.…”

With the development of science and technology, consumers have higher and higher requirements for automobiles. Environmental protection issues, price issues, cost issues, and enterprise transformation issues are all issues that need to be considered in the current automobile manufacturing industry. At the same time, the new crown epidemic and changes in government policies have brought an impact on the development of the automotive industry. This paper selects the cases of General Motors and Tesla sales in China to explore why the sales of traditional vehicles will continue to decline and how to develop new energy vehicles. It is hoped that the comparative analysis of these two auto industry giants, will help more auto manufacturing industries to understand the current development of the industry, and put forward corresponding opinions and suggestions to prepare for the development of subsequent enterprises.
