When discussing the area of shared mobility, which includes time-based rentals, ride hailing and integrated mobility services, Wan said it is also transforming vehicle ownership and usage.
Shared mobility, he said, is convenient and efficient because it complements urban public transport and connects with high-speed rail and air transport. It also provides personal services as well as reduces traffic jams, and is set to gain more urban consumers, especially young consumers thereby changing the way cars are being sold, Wan added.
As China embraces electrification, intelligence and shared mobility, it will also strengthen high-level openness and international cooperation in these three areas, Wan remarked.
In terms of cooperation in the NEV industry, Wan said while China's electric vehicle products have entered scores of countries, foreign electric vehicle makers are also active in the Chinese market.
Telsa has established a wholly-owned NEV enterprise in Shanghai and Mercedes-Benz and BMW are launching electric vehicle joint ventures with Geely and GMW respectively, according to Wan.
Wan believes that the impact of the current transformation goes beyond the auto industry, stressing that China is willing to work with the global auto industry to tackle challenges and redefine the future.
"This transformation, while providing new momentum for the auto industry, also presents historical opportunities to redefine the world's energy landscape, combat climate change and realize a sustainable auto industry," he said.
Ratified by China's State Council and organized by CAST and the People's Government of Hainan, the WNEVC focuses on the transformation of the auto industry and the ecological improvement of the environment. Themed "New Era, New Revolution, New Industry," the event was attended by 1,500 people including representatives from governments as well as international organizations from 18 countries and regions including Germany, the United States and the Republic of Korea. Representatives of Chinese and foreign NEV enterprises including Volkswagen, BWM, Nissan, Changan Auto, SAIC, BAIC and BYD also attended the event.
