As a representative of the electric mobility industry, which provides clean energy solutions for climate change, TAILG attended the conference and shared its green and low-carbon solutions, promoting South-South cooperation with practical actions.

The COP29 focused on climate finance, enhancing carbon reduction targets, and improving global carbon market mechanisms. New energy transportation solutions from China are highly valued and urgently sought after by developing countries.

TAILG President Yao Li attended the High-level Forum on South-South Cooperation on Climate Change, sharing insights on the electric vehicle sector's role in advancing low-carbon mobility and highlighting the potential of two-wheeled electric vehicles in new energy and photovoltaics.

"As a global pioneer in long-range electric two-wheelers, TAILG is willing to actively participate in the Africa Solar Belt program of South-South Cooperation and aspires to be a promoter, practitioner, explorer, and leader of global low-carbon mobility." Yao Li, President of TAILG Group, invited to the High-Level Forum on South-South Cooperation, emphasized TAILG's continued support for developing countries in combating climate change through product donations, technical aid, and knowledge sharing.
