The Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has unveiled a roadmap for the development of smart electric vehicles. The plan aims for the large-scale deployment of autonomous transport by 2030, covering highways, urban expressways, and specific city roads.
Beijing intends to foster a group of domestic manufacturers capable of entering the top ten global leaders in sales volume. The government aims to enhance the international appeal of Chinese brands and increase the country's influence on global automotive standards.
Authorities will tighten regulations regarding vehicle production, road safety, and software updates. The policy includes mechanisms to curb excessive investment, encourage industry consolidation, and phase out inefficient enterprises, while also strengthening control over battery production.
The ministry plans to improve product quality oversight and enforce stricter antitrust measures. Additionally, the government will provide guidance for manufacturers expanding into foreign markets and encourage partnerships between domestic and international firms in R&D and investment.
