National People's Congress representative and Chairman of Xiaopeng Motors, He Xiaopeng, proposed to promote the transition of autonomous driving policies from L2 level to L4 level, gradually pushing L4 vehicles to be compliant on the road nationwide. The second generation VLA (Visual Language Action Model) released by Xiaopeng Motors on the eve of the Two Sessions also laid the foundation for the landing of its technological reserves.

Zhu Huarong, National People's Congress representative and Chairman of China Changan Automobile

National People's Congress representative and Chairman of China Changan Automobile, Zhu Huarong, focuses on the commercialization of L3 level autonomous driving and suggests providing subsidies for core components, simplifying testing processes, and establishing promotional standards to clarify the functional boundaries of L2 and L3, in order to avoid user misuse. It is worth noting that in December 2025, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has issued L3 level access permits to Changan Shenlan and BAIC Jihu, and the implementation of relevant policies has a practical foundation.

Feng Xingya, National People's Congress representative and Chairman of GAC Group

Feng Xingya, deputy to the National People's Congress and chairman of GAC Group, started from the top-level design and proposed to speed up the improvement of laws and regulations related to autonomous driving, build a unified national standard and evaluation system, and provide institutional guarantee for the large-scale implementation of autonomous vehicle. The industry believes that the "ice breaking" of autonomous driving regulations will directly benefit core component suppliers such as high computing chips, LiDAR, and wire controlled chassis, and promote new opportunities for the development of the intelligent driving industry chain.

Forward looking layout of new tracks, low altitude economy, embodied intelligence to accelerate development

Relying on the industrial foundation and technological accumulation of the automotive industry, new tracks such as low altitude economy and humanoid robots have become the focus of car companies' layout. In this regard, Feng Xingya suggested formulating a five-year plan for the development of low altitude economy, strengthening the overall planning of low altitude economy, improving the legal and regulatory system, perfecting the regulatory mechanism and mode, and expanding the commercial application scenarios. At present, the flying car brand Gaoyu incubated by GAC has built a factory in Guangzhou, and multiple products have entered the airworthiness certification stage. It is planned to achieve the first aircraft offline in March 2026. He Xiaopeng focuses on the landing of the flying car industry and suggests promoting the decentralization of low altitude airspace management authority, classifying the taxation of flying cars that meet airworthiness standards, and implementing phased tax reduction and support policies to reduce enterprise research and development, production, and marketing costs.

Lei Jun, National People's Congress representative and founder of Xiaomi Group

In the field of embodied intelligence, car companies are extending from "car manufacturing" to "intelligent manufacturing solution providers". Lei Junli, a National People's Congress representative and founder of Xiaomi Group, is promoting the engineering implementation of humanoid robots, expanding their intelligent manufacturing application scenarios, and strengthening the construction of safety standard systems. He Xiaopeng also called for the introduction of targeted R&D encouragement policies, promoting breakthroughs and commercialization of advanced intelligent humanoid robot end-to-end "brain" technology, and accelerating the construction of an intelligent standard system for humanoid robots. At present, car companies such as Geely, Xiaopeng, and GAC have all entered the field of embodied intelligent robots, and international car companies such as BMW and Toyota have also introduced humanoid robots in their factories, highlighting the trend of industrial integration.

Diversified upgrading of green energy to strengthen industrial chain security and energy independence

Against the backdrop of nearly 50% market share of new energy vehicles, the representative committee focuses on the diversified development of green energy, promotes the upgrading of the entire industry chain from multiple dimensions, and strengthens the country's independent ability in energy strategy. Feng Xingya suggested accelerating the construction of a unified national standard for battery swapping, strengthening operational subsidies and factor guarantees for battery swapping stations, and coordinating the layout of the entire battery swapping network. At the same time, he suggested improving the 70MPa hydrogenation standard and regulatory system to provide necessary institutional support for the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle industry.

Li Shufu, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and Chairman of Geely Holding Group

Li Shufu, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and Chairman of Geely Holding Group, has been continuously focusing on the methanol economy in recent years. He is committed to promoting the application of methanol electric operating trucks and continuously pushing for the methanol economy. He suggests promoting methanol electric operating trucks and laying out methanol refueling facilities to provide strong support for achieving the "dual carbon" goal in the transportation sector.

Anchoring high-quality overseas expansion from scale to value leap

By 2025, China's automobile exports will reach a new level of 7 million units, ranking first in the world for three consecutive years. In this context, promoting the "going global" of automobiles from "quantitative expansion" to "qualitative leap" has become an industry consensus. Feng Xingya suggested accelerating the integration of China's independent technology standards with international standards, building a compliance service system for going global, strengthening the coordination and unity of domestic enterprise standards, and enhancing global industrial competitiveness through "standard going global". Zhu Huarong suggested that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology take the lead in building a basic common database for overseas automobile markets, establishing a risk warning system, promoting the internationalization of Chinese standards, and deepening cross-border pilot projects. Zhang Xinghai, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and Chairman of Sailis Group, is concerned about promoting the export of new energy vehicles through supply chain and financial services. Propose to establish a national level terminal consumer credit financial platform, promote international mutual recognition of automotive carbon footprint accounting standards, and break down barriers to going global and compliance.
