The Chinese government set the objective that 70% of new car sales correspond to electric or hybrid vehicles by 2030. This target is part of the strategy defined in the XV Five-Year Plan for the automobile industry. China thus intends to significantly accelerate the transition to vehicles with less environmental impact in its domestic market. This plan represents a commitment at the highest governmental level to transform the country's automobile sector.
The strategy outlined in the plan also contemplates the large-scale deployment of autonomous driving. This means that China is not limited to promoting electrification, but also intends to advance technologically in the development of driverless driving systems. This aspect positions the country as a potential global leader in future automobile technology.
Furthermore, the plan sets that 40% of new commercial vehicles be electric by the end of this decade. This specific target for heavy goods vehicles demonstrates that China's ambitions extend beyond passenger cars. The logistics and freight transport sector is one of the main contributors to carbon emissions, making this target particularly relevant for the country's environmental objectives.
