China has unveiled an ambitious roadmap to make pure electric vehicles (EVs) the dominant force in new car sales by 2035, signaling a decisive pivot toward sustainable transportation. A joint policy circular released Friday by the Ministry of Transport and nine other national departments outlines a sweeping transformation of transport infrastructure, renewable energy integration, and industrial innovation.
A Vision for Clean Mobility
The plan prioritizes aligning railways, highways, and ports with renewable energy systems while accelerating the adoption of green heavy-duty trucks and low-carbon vessels. By mid-next decade, authorities aim to establish a green fuel supply chain for transport and expand eco-friendly postal services.
Building Cross-Sector Synergy
The circular emphasizes integrating clean energy solutions into logistics hubs and upgrading urban delivery fleets. Innovations like new energy aircraft and solar-powered infrastructure are projected to reduce emissions while supporting economic growth. Financial tools including green bonds and tech-upgrading loans will back these initiatives.
Why It Matters Globally
As the world's largest auto market, China's EV push could reshape global supply chains and clean-tech investment patterns. With 45% of global EV production already anchored in China, this roadmap reinforces its bid to lead in sustainable urban mobility solutions—a critical consideration for investors eyeing Asia's $3 trillion renewable sector.
