Why does China need to vigorously develop new energy vehicles?

2018-01-24

China's automotive industry has developed rapidly. In 2014, 23.7229 million vehicles were produced throughout the year, up by 7.3% year-on-year, and 23.4919 million vehicles were sold, up by 6.9% year-on-year. While the automotive industry has been developing at a rapid pace, the gap between energy demand and supply in China has been getting larger and larger. According to the estimation of the Development Research Center, the national car ownership will reach 140 million in 2020, and the fuel demand of motor vehicles will be 138 million tons and 256 million tons respectively, accounting for 43% and 57% of the total national oil demand in that year. China is short of oil resources. The import volume of oil is increasing at a double-digit rate every year. The energy gap will reach 60% in the next 10 to 15 years.

Meanwhile, the pollution of the atmosphere by the exhaust emissions of fuel-powered vehicles is becoming increasingly serious. Over 80% of the carbon monoxide, more than 40% of the nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons pollution, and 20% to 30% of the lead-containing particulate pollutants in large and medium-sized cities all come from the exhaust emissions of motor vehicles. The development of a low-carbon economy is a highly advocated economic development model. Vigorously developing low-carbon industries, low-carbon energy and low-carbon technologies is not only an important carrier for building a resource-conserving society, an environment-friendly society and an ecological civilization, but also the fundamental way to transform the development mode, control gas emissions and respond to the international financial crisis. Moreover, it focuses on the new round of global development opportunities. The major strategic task of achieving the development and modernization goals of China's automotive industry.

Vigorously developing new energy vehicles, replacing oil with electricity and reducing emissions, not only conforms to China's national conditions but also represents the direction of the world's automotive industry development. Accelerate the industrialization process of electric vehicles
