Discussion background

　　Energy supply and air pollution becomes even severe problem and autos consume huge volume of energy and are the mobile polluting source of city air pollution. Energy saving and environmental protection become the key issues in Chinese auto industry development.

　　 From the perspective of energy saving, Chinese fuel economy level needs to be improved. Though experiencing the explosive growth in 2014, NEV still faces the weaknesses as small market volume and low basic quantity and has low energy saving contribution rate in the entire auto industry while conventional vehicles still have to shoulder more responsibility.

　　 From the perspective of environmental protection, China must further control vehicle emission. The Stage IV emission standard is enforced all over China and some cities have taken the lead to launch the Stage V emission standard and the drafting work of the Stage VI is already started; In terms of management system, besides further strengthening the type approval, China will take stronger measures to supervise the vehicle using and phase out the yellow label vehicle.
