At 2 pm on January 15, the 7th China Electric Vehicle Hundreds Forum kicked off at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. With the theme of "New Development Pattern and Auto Industry Reform", this forum discussed the new pattern, new background and new challenges encountered in the development of new energy vehicles.

     The Fifth Sino-British Electric Vehicle Innovation Forum is the first theme meeting of this forum. It is co-sponsored by the China Electric Vehicle Hundreds Association, the British Department of International Trade and the British Embassy in China. On the topic of "cooperation", industry organizations and representative companies in the electric vehicle field from the two countries will share the latest technological innovation and R&D layout.

    At the forum, Graham Stuart, Deputy Minister of International Trade of the United Kingdom, said that the green development of the global automotive industry and the transition to zero emissions are developing rapidly, and the United Kingdom and China are leading changes in this field.

    It is reported that in November 2020, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced a government commitment to phase out gasoline, diesel and vans in the UK by 2030. "However, we also recognize that hybrid technology plays an important role in reducing emissions from road transportation. We will continue to allow hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles to exist until 2035." Graham Stuart said.

    According to reports, the British Prime Minister formulated an ambitious ten-point plan for the green industrial revolution last year, covering clean energy, transportation, nature and innovative technologies. The blueprint will enable the UK to pioneer and gradually realize its commitments to climate change by 2050. The plan will mobilize 12 billion pounds for government investment, and by 2030 will stimulate more than three times the investment from the private sector, including the United Kingdom will spend nearly 500 million pounds in the next four years for the development and mass production of electric Car battery. In addition, the UK will provide 1.3 billion pounds to accelerate the introduction of electric vehicle charging facilities in homes, streets and highways across England. In addition, a total of up to 582 million pounds of subsidies will be provided to those who purchase zero-emission or ultra-low-emission vehicles, so that they can buy electric vehicles more cheaply, and incentivize more people to switch to electric vehicles from the purchase of traditional internal combustion engines. The purchase of a car.

    The UK’s Green Industry Ten-Point Plan will be supported by the UK government’s major investments publicized in the past year, including a £1 billion energy innovation fund to develop the latest technologies needed to achieve new energy goals. Another £5 billion is used to encourage other more environmentally friendly modes of travel, including bus travel.

    Graham Stuart said that these new financial commitments have received strong support from the government, sending a clear signal to the industry and our international partners to encourage and require them to invest in local production in the UK in order to make zero emissions to us. We plan to formulate further emission reduction plans on the eve of the 26th COP (Earth and Climate Change) United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow and create more jobs next year. Now, the event will convene heads of state, climate experts and activists to make further commitments to combat climate change. The UK will use the functions and opportunities of its 26th COP to work more closely with our international partners, and work hand in hand with civic groups, industry academia and people at the forefront of climate change to promote action in this field .

    Obviously, on the milestone in the development of zero-carbon emission vehicles, 2021 will be the most important time node so far.
