WHAT CHALLENGES DO WE HAVE?
China has set its sights on becoming the world leader in connected and self-driving vehicles. Several policy documents released since 2020 have also set key development targets for the industry, including the Roadmap for Intelligent Connected Vehicle Technology 2.0
Chinese government promotes the development of new energy vehicles (NEVs) and the shift from petroleum to other clean energies, thereby coping with the issues of energy security and emissions. China’s Internet of Vehicles will become better regulated over the next few years as authorities seek to standardize data and cybersecurity in the industry (across a range of fields).
The booming sales of NEVs have largely been promoted by a series of incentive policies. The objective of the Chinese rules makers is to lead this regulatory development.
Chinese regulations and policies development are different from what is done in EU, so we need someone to support us to navigate and implement those evolutions which often lead to unique development in very short lead time.
