32 new energy auto-related policies were launched in China in 2017. The policy of tax rebates for consumers who buy new energy vehicles is to be extended for another three years. Furthermore, China's 'Made in China 2025' strategy puts new energy vehicles at the center of its vision of the future, committing to, "support electric and fuel cell automobile development; encourage low carbon emission technologies and smart auto technologies."

Lightweight design, together with electrical drive engineering and smart technologies will define the new energy auto industry in the next ten years. CPCA (China Passenger Car Association) statistics show that top new energy brands, in terms of sales, in China include BYD, ZD, BAIC New Energy, Chery New Energy, and SAIC Rowe, while bus manufacturers are also joining the new energy wave.
