The China EV100 Forum 2025 kicked off Friday in Beijing, highlighting the latest trends in new energy vehicles (NEVs), including intelligent development and the emerging ecosystem of integrated industries.
Themed "Strengthening Electrification and Advancing Intelligence for High-Quality Development", the three-day event will feature 12 themed sessions, gathering government officials and representatives from various sectors such as automotive, energy, transportation and telecommunications to discuss the latest developments in the NEV industry.
Zhang Yongwei, vice chairman and secretary-general of China EV100, a NEV industry think tank, emphasized how the development of NEVs has evolved, noting the increasing integration of high-tech innovations into vehicles.
"A new trend, I believe, is fusion and cross-industry integration. Vehicles are increasingly becoming larger technology integrators and smarter terminals, with a wide range of technologies, including artificial intelligence, telecommunications, and even semiconductor chips being integrated into cars," Zhang explained.
The secretary-general further stated that the forum will focus on new technologies and trends in intelligent connected NEVs, as well as future advancements such as new materials for automotive batteries, innovative NEV charging models, and the emerging ecosystem driven by the NEV sector's development.
"The emerging ecosystem of integrated smart industries, driven by the intelligent development of NEVs, not only includes the functions of smart vehicles but also extends to low-altitude mobility and even robotic developments. We refer to this as a new ecosystem for industry growth," Zhang added.
