"New and old builders" work together to build a new energy industry ecosystem

The world is going through an automobile revolution. If it doesn't happen, there will be risks of subversion. Focusing on the field of new energy vehicles, “new energy strategies emerge in an endless stream, and comprehensive new energy has become an international consensus”; “who will master the key core technologies in the future, who will grasp the key value points, and who will win the next round of competition”.

"China's new energy vehicles are undergoing changes in consumer demand, product attributes, production methods, and industrial chains. Nowadays, many industries in the automotive industry are coexisting. The new industry structure centered on individualized consumer and travel services is already looming."
