The 2025 China Automotive Industry Development International Forum opened in Tianjin today (the 13th). Officials from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Commerce, and other departments offered suggestions on how to maintain fair market competition in the automotive industry in the near term and how to achieve higher-quality development during the 15th Five-Year Plan period. A representative from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology stated that my country will continue to strengthen its efforts to transform its automotive industry into a green and low-carbon one. Next, my country will study and formulate the "Development Plan for the Intelligent Connected New Energy Vehicle Industry in the New Era." At the same time, China will support leading enterprises in taking the lead, integrating innovation among large, medium, and small enterprises, and accelerate the research and industrialization of technologies such as next-generation power batteries, automotive chips, operating systems, autonomous driving, and high-end equipment. "We will also implement a new round of measures to stabilize growth in the automotive industry and continue to optimize preferential policies such as vehicle purchase tax and vehicle and vessel tax for new energy vehicles. We will also further regulate industrial competition, maintain a fair and orderly market environment, and explore the carbon footprint management of power batteries," said Guo Shougang, Deputy Director of the First Equipment Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
