FOURIN presents an up-to-the-minute survey on China’s new-energy vehicle industry

Invaluable Intelligence and Data to Support Any Automotive Business in China
FOURIN’s information gathering and research activity in China began in 1989. At that time China’s annual vehicle production stood at only 580 thousand units. With more than 20 years of experience, FOURIN can provide in-depth reports on the Chinese automotive industry which you cannot find anywhere else.

While the world’s attention flows towards China’s automotive industry, where vehicle production and sales have become number one, the Chinese government has defined the newenergy vehicle industry as a national strategic industry, for which it looks to develop policies to foster the emerging sector ahead of other countries in order to acquire a leading hand in forming the next generation automotive industry.

For reasons behind China’s government intention, it is considered that there is less resistance for the dissemination of new-energy vehicles since China is in the initial stage of motorization and a 20 million-unit two-wheeler electric vehicle market is already forming. Moreover, besides the country has abundant rare metal reserves which are necessary for electric vehicles, the new-energy vehicle industry is expected to bring China a great opportunity to narrow the technology gap with automotive powerhouse countries while hybrid technology is reaching a good level of maturity.

As such, Chinese automakers aim to surpass foreign rivals by concentrating resources on electric vehicles which require relatively lower technology level. Still, for popularizing electric vehicles ahead of advanced countries, it is necessary to identify currently existing major technological obstacles. Chinese automakers and suppliers still lack refining technology for materials required for lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, core technology for separators which accounts for 20-30% of total battery cost and small drive-type motor technology to name a few.

Meanwhile, please note that the definition of the new-energy vehicle used in this publication refers to vehicles using alternative fuel technologies and electrification technologies and differs from that of the Chinese government in which only plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, electric vehicles and fuel-cell electric vehicles are included.

It is firmly believed that this publication will serve as an invaluable source of information to bring a further understanding concerning the Chinese government’s policies and Chinese automakers’ business strategies of the newenergy vehicle industry.
