In Depth: China writes a stricter rulebook for a changing auto industry

The rapid adoption of new-energy vehicles (NEVs) in China has prompted regulators to introduce new rules and standards to address battery safety, intelligent driving and cybersecurity to ensure sustainable growth and protect consumers.

In September, China’s NEV sales reached 1.12 million, capturing 54.3% of the new passenger car market and outpacing fuel-powered vehicles for three consecutive months, according to the China Passenger Car Association. Motorists now scrutinize NEVs with the same expectations they hold for conventional cars.
