With the rapid development of the economy, automobiles have become an essential means of transportation for countless households. According to data from China’s Ministry of Public Security, by the end of 2017, China’s total number of motor vehicles had reached 310 million, including 217 million cars. Moreover, this figure has been steadily increasing in a straight line.

With the increasing number of vehicles on the road, environmental problems caused by automobile exhaust emissions are becoming increasingly prominent and have now become a major source of air pollution. Reducing automobile exhaust emissions has become an urgent priority for environmental protection.

Starting from the source of energy conservation and emission reduction, the advantages of new-energy vehicles become particularly evident. Major automakers have already begun rolling out new-energy vehicle models one after another. As than Zhongtai BAIC, Chery SAIC, Jianghuai 、 Geely 、 GAC Trumpchi Wait 。

According to a report by the foreign media outlet Automotive News Europe, recently... The public The group stated that the lifespan of its models equipped with conventional internal combustion engines will be limited to just one generation. It is expected that after 2026, Volkswagen’s internal combustion engine vehicles will gradually disappear from the market. Volkswagen’s 12 brands are projected to produce 15 million electric vehicles over the next few years, and the company plans to allocate 50 billion U.S. dollars over the next five years. Yuan For research and development in electric vehicle technology and autonomous driving technology, Volkswagen expects to launch the I.D. Neo electric vehicle within 12 months and begin producing the I.D. series electric vehicles at its Chinese factory starting in 2020. Volkswagen plans to introduce 300 different models of electric vehicles by 2030.

With regard to new-energy vehicles, China established the National Big Data Alliance for New-Energy Vehicles on July 18, 2017. The alliance held its 2018 annual meeting in Beijing on November 23, 2018. According to available data, as of September 2018, the National Supervision Platform for New-Energy Vehicles had connected 1.15 million vehicles. It is projected that by the end of 2018, the number of connected vehicles will reach 2 million; by 2020, it will reach 7 million; by 2025, it will reach 80 million; and by 2030, it will hit 150 million vehicles.

Of course, as new-energy vehicles develop and advance, they will encounter various challenges along the way. However, on the path toward energy conservation, emission reduction, and environmental protection, the automotive industry will keep forging ahead without ever stopping.
