😄China plans to repeat its electric car success story — this time with trucks.
In May, China’s Ministry of Transport called for new energy heavy trucks to account for 40% of new truck sales by 2030. More than 80% of trucks used on shorter routes around Beijing should be electric, the policy added.
The targets echo China’s push more than a decade ago to develop new energy passenger cars, a category that includes battery-powered and hybrid models. The goal was for NEVs to account for 20% of new passenger car sales by 2025.
