The industrial system has become increasingly complete, with China's production of NEVs, power batteries, and key materials accounting for over 70% of the global total. International influence has continued to grow, with products exported to more than 100 countries and regions. During the 15th Five-Year Plan period, efforts will be made to further improve product supply quality, actively and steadily promote pilot programs for the market access and road operation of intelligent connected vehicles, as well as the "Vehicle-Road-Cloud Integration" pilot projects.
