To reduce urban air pollution and carbon emissions, China has been promoting new energy vehicles (NEVs) for more than a decade, with implementation first starting with buses and taxis, then private cars.

In 2021, over 3.5 million NEVs have been sold in China, according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM), a non-profit organization based in Beijing. The sales enjoyed an increase of 1.6 times year on year, ranking first in the world for seven consecutive years.

With the government's support for the adoption of electric vehicles in rural areas in recent years, that market has become an important driving force for NEVs in China.

The total sales of models selected for the promotional campaign exceeded one million in 2021, up nearly 170 percent year on year, data from CAAM shows.
